Ultra Air X Stroller

Yes! We got the ultra air x. For travel is absolutely fine! Our bumper bar even broke and they didn’t have a bumper bar to send so they send an all new stroller for us (all through Walmart) which I was so happy about!

Agree with this review! It’s great for walks, sturdy, plenty of room. We also bought a used bassinet and used it quite a bit in the first 4 months! As for taking it with us in the car it does take up a lot of trunk space (Nissan car/honda civic), but it’s doable. We do have a travel stroller for airplanes/out of city travel that we now use so our Cruz wouldn’t get beat up flying. We do like it (mamazing) but the Cruz is built WAYYYYY better- I would never just stroller walk the mamazing for fun out the house. We recommended uppababy for the type of use I described!

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！

2.I was convinced we'd need three at first. An umbrella , a sturdy one and a travel stroller. Ended up realizing the travel stroller category has come a long way. We have a mamazing, it's light enough that I don't really feel the need for a separate umbrella stroller, and the one-hand fold makes it super convenient. We basically just rotate between that and our bassinet stroller now. Kid's almost 3 and I haven't felt like we're missing anything.

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!

So far we have 2. We have a super-heavy-duty-convertible-single-to-double-built-in-bassinet-all-terrain-carries-up-to-200 lbs-takes-up-half-my-trunk-bmw-limo. Brand is Austlen. We’ll take this to zoos and such. Mostly got it for the single to double aspect. Then we have a super lightweight travel one. Brand is Mamazing. I suspect there will be another stroller or wagon in our future. Baby is only 4 months.
