I got the basic Skip Hop backpack style that you see everywhere. Works great so far, holds a lot. Infant car seat and stroller was also really hard for us to decide. We live in a suburban area, no plans to go running or off roading with our stroller haha. We got the Nuna TRVL LX and Nuna Pipa Air car seat. You can snap the car seat into the stroller, and the stroller goes almost flat so we used it for walks starting around 1 month old. Both stroller and car seat are incredibly light weight and easy to manage, 10/10 recommend. Unfortunately not at the point of convertible car seat yet but looking into Evenflo revolve and Cybex Callisto

We also have this stroller. Along with a mixx next because where we live some of the roads are cobblestone. Plus the bassinet attachment We wanted a heavy duty stroller that could be taken on grass/cobblestone, one that could be used for travel that was easy to fold and the safety of the pipa aire was very nice.

I am down this deep dark rabbit hole currently. I was leaning uppa, but then I read their infant car seats have a bad “chin to chest” issue. You can get a nuna infant seat to fit the vista v2/v3 but then I’m like, why not just go all nuna at that point. So now I’m looking at the nuna Demi next stroller with the pipa aire infant seat and then when they grow out of that we’ll switch to a convertible car seats. I want the bassinet attachment also not just for walks but for traveling naps and if the bay falls asleep on our walks they can just keep sleeping in the bassinet but with the infant seat they can’t.

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.

This is so true. My husband and I just did a longish flight for the first time and I was so stressed about flying with the baby in general, I didn’t want to ALSO deal with thinking about the wellbeing of another person in our row. We brought an infant car seat. We have a nuna pippa aire and had no problems fitting it in the seat with room for the other person to recline. My son slept on me for a good portion of the flight but I did transfer him into the car seat eventually for him to continue sleeping so I could get a break. We also brought a small blanket so we could cover the car seat which was clutch. It was like his own slumber pod.

I've done it with 3 the same ages you mentioned and it was perfect. The oldest went in a high-back booster in the middle of the second row. I bought the Volvo booster since it's a bit more narrow than others and leaves more room to buckle. The other two carseats were a Nuna Pipa with base and a Diono Radian 3R.
