09percentI have four nuna execs and I highly recommend them because it’s a one and done in terms of car seats and they are easy to setup and buckle. Sure it doesn’t rotate but they are very easy to use and clean if needed.
flyingpinkjellyfishThe Nuna Exec is NOT a rotating car seat. It just allows you to change direction from rear to forward facing. If you’re talking about the Nuna Revv, which is their rotating seat, I don’t recommend it. We bought it because it was one of the first rotating seats and I wish we hadn’t wasted so much money on a seat that’s impossible to get a tight install on, doesn’t rotate well once sand and crumbs get in the swivel mechanism and has such ridiculously low height and weight limits. I also don’t see how it would last 10 years. Ours seemed totally shot after being very careful with it for four and a half years (that accounts for two different kids, I don’t see how you could get that much use out of it with one kid since the limits are so low). We needed another convertible seat once my son outgrew that one, which is insane given the price point.
fog-pandaSeconding the bumbleride indie. I love that baby can recline or sit and it's a super smooth ride. For car seat, we went with nuna exec so we wouldn't have to buy another car seat when baby gets bigger. These are pricey items that we put on our registry but would have made the investment either way. Nuna is the safest car seat out there. Whatever you end up doing will be great.
Nuna exec is super nice
joiedevie99Never heard a complaint, and our home seats are Nuna Execs - opposite amount of cushioning. This includes two round trips from NY to Europe.
KryptyxYou can fit 3 Nuna Execs across. Those are fairly large but fit fine.
MadsTooRadsWe have a huge kiddo too and did the nuna exec
mileyisadogWe have a Nuna exec at home but we're traveling for the first time with our new diono r3. You need to purchase straps but it can be carried like a backpack. It doesn't fit rear facing in economy on an airplane, but it works rear facing or front facing for cars and it's super easy to install. We like it for what it is. Our big guy fits in it with room to Grow
NurseK89I had the foonf and sold it to get a Britax. I was installing it in a Kia Carnival. I got it specifically for the reasons you mentioned. I agree with what the other person said on the Flo - the install is RIDICULOUS. seriously we could never get a tight install. Then as my son became a toddler he could kick into the seat which would loosen the install. I was reinstalling it every few days because of this. The padding is dismal. Even on the most reclined setting I felt like he had no support. His head was always falling forward - and yes this is while RF. I had my husband sell it on FB, and I regret buying it. I have the Nuna Exec for my daughter from RF to now booster. I wasn’t thrilled with it in RF mode, but FF and booster have been great. The seats I’ve been happiest with are my Britax click tights. EASY install. Comfy for the kiddo and easy to clean. They have some smaller seats out now, and some will also have an anti rebound bar
