CYBEX - Cloud T

We have the Mamas and Papas Ocarro pram and the Cybex Cloud T with 360 base. All I can say is we're really happy with the both of them and would recommend.

We absolutely did our car seat on the pram wheels to death it was so useful as we pop out a lot, we had the cybex cloud that reclined as well so that was useful. I’d definitely get an infant carrier cos you’ll want to transfer them into the house under cover if it’s raining and you can’t do that with the multi stage.

Same! Also you want a good infant carrier not multi stages. We had a cybex cloud and it was really good.

Infant carrier car seats as well as isofixes. Do you really trust a random person to be honest about the history of the car seat? The thing in which you transport your new baby? It is also not only an accident but a drop or a fall can also cause damage. Especially important in infant carriers that get used for so much more than just car rides. It can have internal damage without being visible on the outside. Also, they expire. The maximum life span is 7 to 10 years. The cheapest maxi Cosi is less than 50 eurosnew. Friends or family, perhaps, but I’d rather go with a cheap new seat than a used one. They might not remember it fell or it might be too old. Isofixes are a little bit less risky because you don’t move them that often but again, not recommended to buy second hand. Friends and family should be fine.

Okay, i did extensive research on this topic. The cybex T cloud and the maxi Cosi pebble 360 pro seem to be the safest infant carrier car seats. There are a few other that also test quite well in collisions but often don’t offer the recline function. If you want to do your own research, also look at side collision test results. Chat gpt can help you with the test results. Every seat has it’s own isofix and real car seats have their own different isofixes. I don’t think you can mix and match. The seat and isofix you must buy new or use from someone you know really well. Don’t buy them second hand. For a real car seat, same. Check the test results. The weight limit on rear facing is very important. Rear facing is recommended until four yo or 22-25kg. We personally really like swivelling car seats as my partners car is an suv. We are probably going with the growing seat of maxi Cosi (the new one). I would steer clear of doona type car seats. They are very convenient but don’t offer suspension and are often used as strollers which is not good for the infant. They are expensive and not stroller compatible. For me not worth it. Strollers really depend on what it is what you are looking for. On my list I have real tires, big front tires, ventilated moses basket (preferably with anti reflux possibilities), large sunshade upf 50+ and a comfortable toddler seat. I highly suggest going to a big baby store and trying these out yourself. Height of the bar might be a very determining factor as well.

car seat i’d say go to an independent car seat shop to get advice. never buy 2nd hand and i’d buy an infant car seat first. in the 0-4 year car seats you rarely get a safe fit for a newborn. my inlaws have the joie spin and babe only got somewhat of a good fit at about 6+ months. We have a cybex cloud T which can be used without isofix and is as safe used on a seatbelt; however there’s excellent cheaper options - i heard great things about the avionaut and friends have maxicosi. Pram - i’d think about your lifestyle - ie do you go into smaller spaces, live in a building with stairs, small car etc or do you need something all terrain because you go on lots of country/off road walks etc. work your way back from an essential vs nice to have list and then check fb marketplace or similar. also check sales; sometimes you can get amazing deals!

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.

Meillä ollut britaxin istuin, kaksi lasta viihtynyt siinä hyvin. On kyllä aika iso ja raskas vehje. Oli hetken aikaa myös motonetistä hommattu joku Cybexin malli, mutta siinä ei lapset tuntuneet viihtyvän. Se lähti sitten kiertoon ja pienemmälle tuli tuo vanha britax kun isompi muksu tarvitsi isomman istuimen. Tosiaan, käykää liikkeissä koeistuttamassa lasta noihin, ja lukekaa noita autoliiton testejä niin hyvä tulee. Monissa paikoissa myyjät ei kuitenkaan mitään tiedä niin kannattaa pari minuuttia perehtyä tuohon asiaan.
