I 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.
Mine was 24 pounds at 1 year, 32 pounds at 2, and is currently 37 pounds at 34 months. He might have a growth spurt and hit 40 pounds at 3 years but probably not for a few months. We booted him out of the Revv a few months ago for his baby sibling, and bought the exec. Really miss that rotation!
He also weighs more that our 5 year old neighbor.
You could google the WHO growth chart and look at his percentile and try to extrapolate from there.
We have a Pipa, Revv, Rava and Exec and I loveeee them all. The Revv was amazing but he got too tall which was fine - we switched to the exec. He is So comfortable in it. we use the Rava in my husbands car and its okay, but liked the exec and revv much more. Nuna is definitly more lux than the the brands others are mentioning. My mom has an evenflo and my MIL has a graco and all our Nunas felt more plush. All carseats are safe, but if you have a few extra $ to spend I'd always choose Nuna or Cybex.
The 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.
Seconding 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.
I have the nuna exec, and I plan on getting the rava for #2 for potential traveling. I live in the south, and I wanted something that would keep my little one as cool as I could, but also rear face for an extended amount of time for spine safety. We made it to 4.5 years before forward facing. I did not like the material and specs on the cheaper car seats, and I like how easy it is to get the cloth off for cleaning. Some pieces on the exec have backups that were included, so we could wash and not worry about a wet/damp seat. We don’t eat in the car (another safety thing we are sticklers about), so our seat stays very clean.
