Pebble Pro i-Size

We got the UpperBaby Vista and the ISO Fix MaxiCosi Pebble Pro. Part of the bundle was some adaptors that let us put the MaxiCosi seat on the Vista, takes about 20 seconds. Maxi Cosi Pro is great because it reclines so much more than other seats

We had an icandy pram with Maxi Cosi car seat that was on a 360 base.

That's what we did. Maxi Cosi baby bucket until she was 1 - we had an isofix base in each car so we could just clip and go. Rear facing seat until she was 4.5 (she sized out by weight about a fortnight before she started school). Then into a high back booster. We bought a 0 - 12 one for the car we use least when she sized out of the baby bucket (age 1 - 4 she probably did 10 journeys in that car because of work patterns and COVID etc). Would not have trusted it under 1 but it was an excellent RF toddler seat and now it's a perfectly usable booster and as we kept the box, we've taken it on holiday the last couple of years to use in the hire car. It means we've covered everything in two cars with 4 seats, and not having to switch between cars.

My first 2 used the maxi cosi. It's a very long seat, so even in large sedans and SUVs, the front seat needed to be moved forward to accommodate. I've heard that if you have a smaller car, the front seat is basically unusable with the maxi cosi. What I liked about it is that our car's back seats are "sporty" and are bucket seats. We tried a bunch of other models and none could get the right angle when buckled in. For my third I bought the Clek since it was sale (and different car now), and uses the same stroller adaptors as the maxi cosi. It can also do 3 across the back seats. Haven't tried it yet but heard good things. If you have a snuggle bugs or WCK then you can try out the seats. The biggest deciding factor for us was the seat base and whether the car seat could properly level when installed.

We used the maxi Cosi infant car seat as a travel car seat and it worked great. I think there's a Cosco (not Costco) one from Walmart that's also highly rated as a travel infant car seat. They are both light and very easy to install with just a seat belt and don't require a base.

Agree with this! Our infant seat is MC and I got it for $280 during a sale a couple years ago. So price and the fact that the seat was light were big selling features. Our daughter (and our arms lol) were happier when we switched her to a convertible seat around 6 months. We went with Clek Fllo for that... liked it so much we bought another for baby#2 due in a couple months. But definitely agree that the screaming is a sign that baby is either over the infant seat and/or they are making their opinions on car rides known now that they're leaving the potato stage lol.

Our LO came home at just under 1.8kgs. We have the maxi cosi. Looking back at the pictures she was insanely small for that thing! But we got home and she grew into it 😅
