Hi everyone, I know there might be discussions about stroller/car seat brands already but I really need advice on this. I’ve been searching (including tiktok reviews) for DAYS to decide what brand to buy.. still cant decide yet.
Uppa baby and nuna are the most popular ones but expensive and not last long, also heard they are heavy?
What other brands that comparable to uppa baby and nuna quality? I’m currently comparing on Maxi Cosi, Cybex, Mockingbird, and Chicco.
Heard Evenflo wheels squeak so much - so this would be a no..
Graco is a bit cheaper, is the quality good? What are the cons?
Thanks!

For car seats definitely maxi cost or cybex. The others are terrible and don’t offer a supportive fit for newborns

I love and appreciate Graco. It’s descent quality and not heavy

we have a cybex carseat and would 100% recommend! I don't have experience with the pram or other brands stated, but we've recently bought an Oyster3 pram and absolutely love it, there was an option to buy it as a travel system (we only needed the seat part, not the bassinet or car seat so obvs didn't go for that one), however haven't seen any reviews on it yet. Our pram is amazing though! x

Nuna graco and Joie are all part of the same company. I was told graco is lower range, Joie midrange and Nuna top end. Although graco seems to have some amazing products. I have a Joie but not a fan of the stroller.

Absolutely loved our cybex cloud z car seat for our first! It was compatible with loads of different prams and we went with the icandy lime. Will be using both again for this baby.

I have the uppababy vista and a Nuna mixx next, they’re both great but depends on your life style/location etc. Joie do a less expensive version of the nuna mixx, looks identical x

All I would suggest is looking at whether these car seats are Swedish/swedish plus tested. I purchased my car seat & pram separately for this very reason as a lot of these car seat pram combos aren’t great for the car seat and offer very unsafe fits. I’d also suggest joining car seat safety community rear facing advice & support on Facebook. It has expert advice on there regarding car seats and they can offer recommendations based upon your babies percentiles, budget, car etc 😊

Sorry just seen you’re based in the US so ignore the last part of my message about joining the group as it’s UK based x

the zip in blanket thing isn’t safe as they can over heat zipped in. you should only ever use a a separate blanket over the top of the seat belt if it’s cold
