Avionaut - Stardust 360

FWIW we've just upgraded to Avionaut Stardust, which does have a separate insert to make it suitable from birth and should last her ERF til 6 then becomes a HBB. *However* - it has been handy on occasion to bring baby into the house in her car seat, which just isn't really possible with the multi-stage ones as they're too heavy. NB we were using Maxi Cosi Pebble with 360base (very handy!!)

Sorry to jump on this, and if you’re joining the FB group suggested maybe you’ll have the advice anyway, but a lot people find the Maxi Cosi inserts especially for the next stage seats aren’t the most supportive and the shell is very short so it’s often outgrown really quickly relative to other seats so it might not last until a safe booster age. If you want a modular system we have the BeSafe Beyond system which has been amazing and the toddler seat lasts up until 125cm rather than 105cm which will be a big difference for my tall child. If your baby is likely to be lower centiles the Cybex Cloud/ Sirona will be more supportive for a modular system. But often, the toddler seats which fit into the newborn base are aren’t any cheaper than buying an isofix seat whose base is attached. I saw in another comment that you said you were considering weight as a factor for the infant carrier, and if you are then one of the Avionaut infant carriers would be great. They are both incredibly supportive, the Pixel is more expensive and is lighter and offers the best newborn positioning on the market, and the Cosmo is cheaper, and still fantastic positioning for newborn and beyond and lightweight. Neither lay flat but they don’t need to because the inserts are so supportive then keep the chin off the chest easily even in the baby is tiny. And in a crash it’s safer for the baby to be in a more insight position than a reclined one.

A handful of time, but could have lived without it. One thing I’d be careful with over seats which say they grow with the baby is they often provide a poor fit for newborns despite saying on the box they’re ok. There are a few suitable seats which are supportive enough: If your baby is likely to be smaller centiles these would probably get them to a safe booster seat age: * Axkid Spinkid * Besafe izi Twist/Turn B If your baby is likely to be bigger/taller then I’d look at these * Avionaut Stardust * Avionaut Sky * Axkid One + * Besafe Stetch B

In all honesty, you’ll probably hate the heavy travel system after a year to 18 months. The coasatto plans are fine, it’s just the car seat that’s the issue. Definitely try out some prams in store and try some of the lighter travel systems, that are easy to operate. You can find some great offers on FB marketplace if you’re not wanting to spend a lot of money on something you may not like! You’ll probably want a compact stroller at some point and that again depends on what you need. Autofold and lightweight is the way to go. The avionaut car seats for little ones is great.

We just got our first car seat Avionaut which goes with a Nuna travel system. The thing to understand is many car seats use universal or Maxicosi adapters to put their car seat onto the stroller. Regarding how useful it would be, ideally the car seat should mainly be only used in the car and a carry cot or a lie flat stroller should be used outside. We figured that for quick grocery run or something else ( within the 2 hour car seat time limit), it would be useful to have the option to attach it to the stroller
