Aton G

I’d stay away from a swivel infant seat and get a swivel convertible when they outgrow the infant seat. The swivel doesn’t really help remove it from the base. But if you’re stuck on it, check out the Cybex Anton g.

Everyone will have slightly different opinions, but this is mine: go to a JL shopping appointment to try out the prams, find out what you like and what's most practical in terms of lightweight, heavy duty etc for the types of places you'll want the pram. Then look out on Facebook marketplace and find one of the ones you liked at a more reasonable price on there. Get a cybex infant carrier car seat and an extended rear facing, Swedish plus tested seat for after that. Aesthetics are way less important than practicality.

Carrier is an absolute must in NY. Any buckle carrier will do, I don’t personally use one but Tula is an all around great carrier brand to start with. Look into baby wearing groups in NYC as well, finding one near me and learning how to use carriers properly has changed my life lol As far as car seats make sure you can use it in both countries and that it is compatible with your stroller! I have the Cybex Aton G and quick google search says they will send a locking clip necessary for use in Europe, i’m sure many brands will have that option as well. I saw the Nuna recommended a bunch if weight is a concern. I just bought the Mompush Velo stroller for travel but i’ve been using it everyday. Make sure any travel stroller you buy has true one hand fold capability, I saw someone mention that on reddit somewhere and noticed that SO many travel strollers require both hands to open and close them.

We had the Nuna Pipa and the Cybex Aton G. WAYYY prefer the Cybex. I think the quality is better. The value is better.

Build quality, fabric quality, baby liked the Cybex better, base was easier to install. The Nuna is a good car seat too! But I personally think the Cybex is superior and the fact it's much cheaper seals the deal for me

I’ve been told the convertible car seats are a pain for newborns. I went with the Cybex Aton G car seat. I’m going to be honest, I bought it because it was white and I have a summer baby so I was worried about black or dark colors overheating. But my baby LOVES this car seat. She instantly stops crying in it and cries when I take her out. It also has an app to remind you to take the baby out after 2 hours has passed (it’s bad for them to be in the car seat too long!), high temperature warning, baby is still in car(I don’t think I need that feature…lol) and the seatbelt is correctly fastened. I wish I got the rotating option because I had a c section, but it’s still really easy with the regular base.
