I'm really surprised by the amount of people recommending using carseat strollers. Baby can't lie flat in those! They are not recommended as your every day stroller, you need a bassinet attachment. Personally, we went with the evenflo 360, had a cheap bassinet stroller (bugaboo) and then switched to joolz aer once baby could sit up comfortably.
Where do you live? How much snow is there? How much do you plan to walk with the stroller. What my husband and I did was buy the Even flo omni travel system for the first 6 months of our baby’s life. He was born early spring. We got it on sale for $400 which was cheaper than a lot of the infant car seats we were looking at. We live in downtown Ottawa, we are walking with the stroller all the time, so we knew the omni system wouldn’t work during the winter. Once our son outgrew the infant car seat and winter was in full swing we gave away the omni system and then just got one of those 4Ever car seats and the Nuna mixx stroller. Doing this ended up being nearly $500 cheaper than buying the full Nuna travel system.
I wished I didn't prioritize a stroller because we bought the NUNA TRVL one and my daughter LOATHES being in the stroller (or pretty much anything that keeps her contained) so we were only really able to use it for less than a year (though now my brother is having a baby and we can finally dump the stroller there). We got our stroller because of the easy close and the compatibility with our infant car seat and we don't regret doing so. Though on our next baby (whenever that may be), we're thinking of trying out Evenflo because I have their revolve360 and I'm loving the brand and customer service.
I went with the Evenflo 360 travel system. I’ve heard mixed reviews but I use mine on a daily basis and have never had an issue with it for 5 months. It came with 360 car seat, bassinet and stroller. Mine was on the pricier side because I got the sensory sooth feature but they have cheaper options that always go on sale!
I have an evenflo stroller with an infant car seat that attaches to it. The bassinet part was so nice when he was newborn and now that he is a bit older, the infant car seat is extremely heavy, we transitioned the bassinet part to be the toddler stroller style and it's awesome. I believe it's a 3 in 1 stroller, so very handy.
I really enjoyed the evenflo travel system. It came with an infant car seat and base that easily locked into the stroller frame and it came with a bassinet that could pop up into a seat for when baby is old enough. My only hesitation on this one though is using the car seat for a second baby after 4-5 years as I’m not sure when the seat itself expires. I’m actually buying this one again for our second because I had gifted it when my daughter outgrew it not thinking we would need a stroller again!
