Same, not sure why everyone seems to be against Graco strollers but I've been happy with my Graco nest2grow. Still runs like it's brand new and I've been using it heavily for the last 2.5 years.
I think at least part if not most of it is luck. My kiddo started in a the Graco Snugride 35 lite and then transitioned into the Graco Extend2Fit, and has been completely chill about the car seat since day 1.
I have a graco snugride 35 lite that I am finding very easy to clip and unclip from its anchor for an infant seat but will transition to a peg perrego infant to tot one that doesn’t come in and out of the car soon as baby is a chonk and I much prefer taking the stroller into the store than hauling around the heavy seat
I want that Doona infant car seat with the wheels attached so bad but its $600 and you might use it for like a year? I keep seeing them everywhere and everyone says its a game-changer. I just don't want to get a used carseat just to afford it. I decided on a Graco infant seat to snap into my BOB jogger (used but mint condition and love it) and then will get one of those transitional ones that rotate for after a year old. My friend just got the rotating one for her 2 year old and she loves it.
Keep in mind you really might not use the infant seat for very long. My baby boy was 16 lbs at 4 months and it just got too heavy to carry inside. I ended up switching him to a convertible because he’s much more comfy in it and it’s easier to put him in/take him out. I personally hold not splurge on an infant car seat, my graco was absolutely perfect
Graco’s stroller really doesn’t have much suspension. It’s a pretty bumpy ride but we keep one in the trunk for outside use like going to grocery store and malls and some well paved trails. I bought it off of fb marketplace for like 75$ and it gets the job done. We also have an infant car seat that’s compatible with it which is another big reason for having it in the car. We were gifted an uppababy that we keep in the garage for local walks. The contrast in stability is pretty clear but would we have invested in an entire uppababy travel system (on par with Nuna’s price)? Definitely not 😂
I think you gotta consider how you want to move the newborn. We opted for a Graco infant car seat and stroller because the seat just snaps in to the stroller and on we go. That way we dont have to take the baby out, especially in the cold. If you buy a Nuna stroller but not the infant car seat, then you’ll need to figure out how you want to transport the baby
