Ultra Air Stroller

I used the Mamazing Ultra Air for a cross-country flight. Super light to carry and the recline was perfect for my baby' s naps on the plane.

We love our mamazing ultra air! It's crazy light(I'd bet it's the lightest travel stroller we've tried), and the storage basket is way bigger than those umbrella strollers. Fits perfectly in the airplane overhead bin, and we've thrown it in there on tons of trips. It also comes with a stroller bag, which also helps protect it from scratches.

Another vote for mamazing. It's got a carbon fiber frame, while bugaboo and joolz are aluminum alloy, so it's just as sturdy but lighter.

In my experience a travel stroller really helps because my LO stays settled and close to me, which makes the airport so much easier. I think it's worth getting one that can go in the overhead bin since that saves a lot of hassle. And when you're out all day something lightweight is always better. We've been using the Mamazing Ultra Air and it fits in the overhead bin really well, and Babyzen YOYO2 and the Bugaboo Butterfly are great options too. And for the flight, I always bring plenty of snacks since they keep my LO happy for longer, especially new snacks or teething snacks. For toys, you really don't need much. My LO actually spent most of the flight playing with the little airplane water bottle lol.

I‘ve taken my 1yo on a couple trips with the Mamazing Ultra Air and it's been super easy to travel with. It's light, folds down small, and fits in the overhead bin without any trouble.

It's not on your list, but the Mamazing Ultra Air is seriously worth considering! My whole family loves it, even our baby’s granny finds it super easy to push and lift

Our Mamazing travel stroller is carbon fiber and only 11.6 lbs. It basically lives in our car, gets bumped around all the time, and has held up really well so far

Definitely bring a stroller. It’s super handy for carrying stuff and a toddler who’s too tired to walk (or just refuses to). I have the mamazing travel stroller and love it. We relied on it heavily during our trip to Japan in March. It’s carbon fiber, so it’s lightweight and really durable.

Another vote for the mamazing! But for the regular and not ultra air one. It's been an amazing everyday stroller as well as travel stroller for us - both around the US and internationally. We typically take it on the flight with us and just have to take the bumper bar off so it fits overhead. No issues within the last 2 years.

Mamazing is good. I absolutely love the one-hand fold and unfold. It makes it possible to handle the stroller while holding the baby

Not at all! It stays really stable even when my kid isn't in it and I've hung my backpack on the handle

We love our Mamazing travel sys. It's cabin-approved, but we sometimes gate-check it too, and thanks to its compact size, it's really easy to handle during check-in. Even after multiple flights with the included travel bag, it still looks and works like new!

We went with the Mamazing travel stroller and it’s been great for us. It’s cheap enough that we honestly haven’t been super precious with it over the past year, and it’s still holding up totally fine. It’s really light and easy to maneuver, which helps a lot in crowded places like airports. We also bring a baby carrier for spots where the stroller is annoying or impossible to use.

Our go to travel stroller has been the Mamazing Ultra Air. It folds down really small, so we usually toss it in a bag for flights and it’s never been an issue at the airport

It's the Ultra Air from Mamazing. Got it from the AMZ

My Mamazing Ultra Air has been on several trips with us. It fits perfectly in the overhead bin on the plane. I'm not very strong but it's easy to fold and lift with one hand. I hesitated for a long time before choosing it but for a travel system, lightweight is everything. So highly recommended！

I’m deep in it, have a 2 year old and newborn. My advice: Car seat - yes to brand new. We skipped the infant seat and got the all in one seat- Evenflo revolve 360. It’s fucking awesome, easy to install, lasts 10 years. Babies shouldn’t spend time in bucket seats unless you’re driving somewhere and it’s a PITA to schlep around a car seat instead of your small baby. Stroller- secondhand or new is totally fine. We live in Chicago and use our stroller like a car and walk almost everywhere. We have a Bumbleride Indie. Pneumatic tires go over broken sidewalks so much smoother than an Uppababy or anything else. It’s big and doesn’t fold down very small, but worth it for us. Converts to bassinet mode for newborn without needing an extra bassinet. We have a Mamazing travel stroller (from Amazon) for the trunk of the car and quick trips and it’s fine. I don’t love it or hate it.  Baby carriers- completely variable based on your baby and what they like, how much time you want to spend learning about it, how strong your back is, etc. Every carrier can be purchased secondhand. If you get into woven wraps ($$$) many of them will sell for what you paid for them. I love my Oscha Cairis wrap for newborn to toddler, it makes it really easy to back wear. It has a learning curve to it that my husband doesn’t like. Solly wrap is very sweet for newborn wearing. Ergo Omni is great for newborn to 1 year old, about.  Crib- IKEA for sure. I got our Sniglar on marketplace for like $50, they included their crib mattress as well.  Baby bjorn bouncer looks beautiful and babies love it. Got a sick deal on eBay for mine! Baby gym- I tried to skip this one but ended up borrowing one from a friend and my baby loved it. You don’t need a lovevery one any toy arch over a blanket is fine.  Skip the baby walkers, those are used for such a short time. Skip the bottle warmer. We use hot water in a small bowl and it works the same. Skip a bottle washer, dishwasher is perfectly fine to run every night. Bottles do NOT need to be sterilized unless you have an immune compromised NICU baby. Babies are not sterile, neither is a boob. My professional opinion as an acute care pediatric NP. My very picky kiddo would only use Avent natural response bottles. Needed a level 3 nipple. Skip the 4 ounce bottles there is no reason to buy a small one you can only use for a month. Don’t buy a ton of pacis or bottles until you know what your baby will take. Likewise, don’t buy a ton a breastfeeding stuff in the event that it doesn’t work out for whatever reason. Kendamil formula is awesome BTW and actually tastes good. Buy multiples of the preferred lovie. All clothes can be purchased secondhand. I have a spreadsheet of online consignment stores I look at. Diaper bag can be any backpack you like. I did get a nice STATE diaper backpack and I Love is so much. I will use it as my work backpack when the kids grow out of it. Skip the wipes warmer. Babies get quickly used to cold wipes and it just creates a warm moist environment that bacteria loves. When in doubt, buy less. Buy secondhand. Ask friends with kids for hand me downs. Trust me parents want to get rid of stuff as soon as they can.  Good luck!
