Nuna - Turtle Air

Same situation here, living in a city and without a car. We were prioritizing getting a good and reliable stroller for the baby and decided on the Bugaboo fox 5. But we do want to take a few road trips over the summer during our paternity leave and probably also fly so we just looked up the car seat that works with the stroller base (Nuna turtle - 250$), it can be clipped in any car with the seat belts and on arrival attached to the stroller - so the bassinet doesn’t have to be carried too.

We have the Nuna Turtle - little on the heavy side but a great carseat. Compatible with the bugaboo kangaroo

For us, no. We have the Nuna. Babies just hate being confined. Mine screamed every time she was in her seat from 4 months to 9 months! We played around with the Chicco and Cosco seats too, to see if any would help (nope - they didn't!). We ended up switching to a Britax One4Life around the 4 month mark to give her more space and so she could sit up more and see the world, but still dealt with screaming. Same thing happened to my friend who used both the Chicco and Graco systems for their two cars. They will eventually grow out of the screaming - we tried to bring a lot of entertainment and snacks to distract her and it helped immensely. She's just over 2 years old now and chills in her carseat for trips so it will get better, I promise you!

I’m a CPST who has installed hundreds of car seats and dealt with every company’s customer service. Nuna is top tier.

That’s why I feel like Nuna is a waste lol. The evenflo are very very very easy to install, so it doesn’t make any sense to buy extra bases, and they don’t even make them actually

Love our nuna and very committed to sticking with the brand when we size up

Nuna customer service is top notch and its rated one of the best seats out there.

We've been Nuna since birth and she's now 6. I appreciate the small extra features like magnets that hold the clips when open. The material and structure is more breathable, or so they claim. They also feel nice to the touch and the black colour scheme matches the car interior. Whether it is worth it is up to you. We've had 3 different sizes in 6 years, so roughly £110 per year. It's been worth it for me as a seat we use nearly daily.

We brought our nuna car seat and used it in our rental car and in my MIL car, has attachments that clip in. Wasn't an issue anywhere (WA or VIC).

Yes! We came home with our newborn in uber. We had nuna pipa which clips into uber / Lyft and rental cars. Like others said you can order a car with child seat but those are hard to find. We have used once for airport travel and reserved in advance and it is nuna car seat. I believe they have a partnership.
