Stokke - Beat

Hey! Don’t know if you can get this in the US (I am based in Scandinavia) but I had similar criteria (albeit a smaller car I think, I drive a Toyota Yaris), and I have been very happy with our stokke beat!

We started out that way. A regular stroller (stokke) and a travel/car stroller (peg perego selfie), but as it turned out the regular one is too heavy and impractical to use for anything. Even just getting in and out of the house is a chore. So we only ever use the travel one.

Diaper bag? Doesn't matter. Get one that's fabric instead of pleather because it'll be washable. I have a skip hop one and it's fine. car seat/car: We thought we'd need a big family car for a baby, so we got a porsche cayenne. It's not practical though. It's too high up, hoisting carseats and baby up all the time isn't fun. It's wide so all parking spaces seem too small and it's often hard to open the door all the way without touching the neighboring car. So IMO you want a sedan or station wagon, not a truck, not an SUV. I "downgraded" to a subaru legacy and even though it's not as "nice" as a porsche, it's more practical and comfortable. Stroller: You want something that folds and stows as easily as possible. We got 2 strollers, assuming the big heavy tank of a stroller would be our main (stokke), and then an auxiliary lightweight foldable travel stroller to have in the trunk of the car (peg perego selfie). And well..... the lightweight one gets used so much more. The big one is such a hassle to fold, transport, and assemble so it only ever gets used if we go for a walk around the neighborhood. But the travel one gets used daily, in and out of the trunk of the car no problem.

Facebook Marketplace. Ppl in switzerland have a lot of money and buy allll the items. Whenever I see smth I want, i first look at marketplace. I got my Stokke stroller, original price 1000-1500.- with all acessories, for 250.-. A suburban mom bought the whole shabam and never used it because her baby didnt want to be in it as a baby, and as soon as it walked, it didnt need it. So I got it for cheap, and brand new

Eu usei carrinho e alcofa da Stokke. Caro como tudo, mas o material é impecável e ultra resistente. Ainda tenho o carro algures no sótão. Se quiseres manda DM.

I'd add Stokke and the infamous Yoyo for strollers. We have Maxi cosi car seats and they're great! French people like them so much infant car seats are often called "cosi" after the brand. There's also Joie for the cheaper side and they do their job just fine. I'm in Switzerland so different country but here we have an organism that tests and rates car seats (TCS), and I'm pretty sure there should be an equivalent. For pumps I've had a few and you can get a Spectra through Amazon, only requires figuring out the outlet adapter. I recommend, Medela was expensive and I was not impressed with quality, our hospital grade rented pump died on me 3 times!!! I also got a portable US brand from ebay with an USB C plug in. In general if you feel more comfortable with brands you know there will be an expat doing a garage sale on FB, I even found the Keekaroo lol
