We hated the aria and got the pipa aire rx instead. There is an adapter for the stroller, we also have the Cruz and have loved it.

more expensive does nooot mean safer! you can search “(car seat name) safety rating” & find results i personally like a convertible seat & just using bassinet on a stroller or wearing baby in a wrap/carrier because infant seats only last until around age 1. convertible car seats last until they’re in a booster (8yo ish depending on weight & height) here’s a bunch you can look into because there are tons of options out there my favorite infant seats in cheapest to most expensive order all in usd joie rue $169.99 graco snugride snugfit dlx $239.99 graco gomax $249.99 joie mint latch $299.99 top favorite - chicco keyfit max zip cleartex $299.99 uppababy mess v3 $349.99 britax cypress w/ alpine base $379.99 nuna pipa aire rx + relx base $650 for convertible seats i personally don’t like any rotating seat because they all have low rearfacing limits & extended rearfacing is absolutely the safest thing you can do. one of the only things you can control as a parent safety wise. most of these also can be used for a newborn 50lb rearfacing limit ⬇️ graco extend 2 fit 3 in 1 $269.99 graco 4ever extend2fit $379.99 britax one4life $439.99 britax poplar s $399.99 nuna rava next $580 under 50lb rearfacing limit ⬇️ joie saffron si 4 in 1 $249.99 graco 4ever dlx $319.99 chicco one fit max $379.99

Nuna Pipa Aire RX can be used with or without base if that helps https://nunababy.com/usa/pipa-aire-rx

We’re in the same position where we have complications and our travel plans got canceled. Also didn’t really have a budget so I just picked what I wanted most in my stroller and wanted something on the smaller/lighter side and went with the nuna triv and pipa aire rx car seat. The stroller seat can be switched out for the car seat, and you can also get the bassinet attachment if you need it. The doona is actually very heavy and really short. I’m 5’2” and I feel like it’d be uncomfortable for anyone taller than me, plus it doesn’t have any storage.

Nuna pipa air rx clips in the seats. I went into Nordstrom and they were all so helpful showing us how things work. I recommend going there or another baby store that exclusively sells strollers/car seats.

Purely a personal choice, as they are very similar. (https://www.babylist.com/hello-baby/uppababy-vs-nuna) I preferred the skydrape on the Aire over the Aria. I like the rigid latch system on the Aire. They also didn't have that lighter Ada color when we ordered 😮‍💨. We live in the desert, I do not want black or dark fabrics.

We loved our Nuna Pipa Lite RX and will be using it for baby number 2. I think they have now replaced that model with the Aire.
