Linear momentum depends on frame of reference, but principle of conservation of linear momentum is independent of frame of reference. Why?

Observers in different frame find different values of linear momentum of a system, hence linear momentum depends upon frame of reference, but each would observe that the value of linear momentum does not change with time (provided the system is isolated), hence principle of conservation of linear momentum is independent of frame of reference.
