Clek - Liing

With my first I had uppababy cruz with an infant insert, she was a July baby so we did outside walks in it pretty much right away. For car seat we had a Graco snug ride, we didn't have a car at that time so needed something light and easy to bring on Uber rides. We got a car when baby was a year old and at that point she outgrew the bucket seat and we got a clek fllo. This time around I'm due in Feb. Planning to use the same cruz with infant insert with a clek liing car seat. I don't find the bassinet attachment to be very important. I love my cruz though, it's a great urban stroller.

We are big fans of clek. My first had a clek fllo from around 1 year to 5 years then graduated to a clek oobr. I'm expecting and due in Feb with my second and just bought the clek liing for the baby. Clek car seats are on sale now for 20% off. I love that they are made in Canada, and some of the best safety tested seats available.

We went with the Clek Liing because of safety and versatility with many strollers. My second choice was going to be the chico key fit

Clek Liing is also very light!

We just installed our Graco 4ever and it fits really well in our Honda civic! :) more room compared to our Clek Liing

I had a Clek Liingo without a base and used it for the first year. It's currently $399, but usually goes on sale... https://clekinc.ca/collections/infant-car-seats/products/liingo Edited to add- I used it with my Bugaboo Fox for everyday (with adapters), and with the Mountain Buggy Nano for travelling (no adapters required). I also flew with it several times, and gate checked it in a carsea bag from Amazon. I now use the Nuna Rava, which is convertible seat and HUGE for everyday, and the Cosco Scenera for flying/travelling

You can reach out to Angelcab to see what car seats it’s compatible with. But we have the u Series and Clek Liing seat and you need to make sure you buy the iso fix adapter from Angelcab to ensure it fits. If you want to use the Angelcab bassinet, it doesn’t use the adapter so it can be annoying to have to switch from bassinet to car seat.

If you have the room, highly recommend just getting either a mini crib or putting the crib in your room. You’re not supposed to use the bassinet once baby starts rolling even if they don’t meet the maximum weight criteria. That can be as early as 3ish months if you’ve got an early roller. I love the ikea singlar. No paint and it’s a smooth finish, best bang for your buck. Clek liing car seat and we love the bumbleride era. The liing is compatible with a bunch of stollers, you just need the appropriate adapter.

I went with the Silver Cross Reef 2 for the stroller and the Clek Liing for the car seat. I opted out of the bassinet option for the stroller since it has a lay flat seat and is compatible from birth. The stroller is beautiful and it feels very study. The wheels have great shock absorption and the basket can carry quite a bit. It is a heavy duty stroller and is great for walking, but I don’t think you would want to travel with it or be constantly loading/unloading it. I love the car seat since it doesn’t expire for 9 years, has a bunch of additional safety features, and materials do not have flame retardants.

Just bought the clek liing also!

I live downtown and have the a Uppababy Cruz as well and I definitely recommend it. It’s easy to fold, navigates the streets well and I’ve never had issues getting into stores. The only thing I haven’t done with it is take it on the street car (pre-baby I took the streetcar daily, now I always either walk or drive). Two considerations for you… Bassinet - I purchased the Uppababy bassinet separately because it doesn’t come included with the Cruz and my baby ended up hating the bassinet. We ended up purchasing the Uppababy infant snug seat which you can put in the stroller seat (fully reclined) and my baby preferred that SO much more. So you could look into doing that as well which would save you a little $. Car seat - we tested the Uppababy Mesa car seat in our car and it didn’t fit well. I also heard most babies outgrow it by height earlier than other seats. We ended up getting the Clek Liing car seat with adapters so it can still click onto the stroller easily. I would recommend you to go SnuggleBugz or West Coast Kids and test the car seats in your car to see what fits best. Hope this helps!

I got the Bugaboo Fox 5 Renew and plan to get the Clek Liing car seat (it is compatible with the Bugaboo!). We live in a city with very uneven cobblestone sidewalks, so a stroller with good suspension was a must for us. I compared the Bugaboo side by side with both Nuna and Uppababy strollers and was pretty surprised by the noticeable difference in how it drives. Echoing others about Clek’s safety ratings! It also helps that it is compatible with our stroller.
