car seat/travel system/stroller recs

bluek210

I am totally overwhelmed by the millions of options that seem to be out there for car seats and strollers.  

I think that we would like a car seat that has a base in the car, but you can take it out and carry it around, as well as snap into a stroller when the babe is still little. Is that called a "travel system."  

Are there any good websites or articles that talk in detail about the different options?  The registry thing is overwhelming me, and i haven't even started yet!
