I have the Cybex Callisto in a Toyota sequoia and that car seat is hefty especially in rear facing just fyi, I don’t think your front passenger is going to be comfortable unless they’re very petite.

I believe the Cybex Callisto RF maxes out at 40lb. My baby is petite so the CPST I spoke to thought she’d end up switching to RF before she’d max the weight so def YMMV on the limit

It just got delivered so I haven’t installed it yet but I went with the Cybex Callisto. It’s pricey 😢 but I went budget for the infant seat so it felt worth it since it’s supposed to last a long time. I like that it has a sun canopy & the mesh fabrics for the summer. I hate that my baby gets a sweaty back in her infant seat. I did go to see in store but we did a “test sit” in my neighbor’s seat and she seemed to like it!

We did the opposite. I had a Joie Rue for her infant seat and upgraded to a Cybex Callisto. Imo it made more sense to spend the money on the longer term item BUT I don’t think it’s ridiculous to downgrade either. Unfortunately it isn’t always a BIFL purchase so it’s not silly to save the money for down the line replacements. Furthermore your baby will have zero clue (nor will they care!) how expensive it is.

My basement is enjoying it! I’m getting it installed this week 😂 It is rated for like 4 pounds. However, many of the full size seats don’t get good fits for the littlest littles. I honestly haven’t seen many (if any) fit checks for newborns on the Callisto so I have no idea.

I agree with other posters that it’s most practical to have the infant seat - especially in winter. That said, I recently bought the Callisto for my 12 month old and it’s an incredible seat.

Fwiw I have the cybex Callisto and paid a gazillion for it and I think my son actually prefers our Cosco car seat we got for travel ($45) sigh

I just got the Callisto and absolutely love it, but I have one year-old. I used the Nuna pipa as an infant car seat and would never skip it. They sleep so much and it’s a pain to take them in and out, especially in the winter.

We love our cybex Callisto rotating car seat!!! I have a large baby and it helps me so much! I love that it will be the last car seat that we will have to buy bc it converts all the way up to a booster seat. My boy hated his pumpkin seat and is so much more comfortable in the car (and so are my eardrums 😆)
