Turtle Air Shield

Bring your own car seat. I've been travelling all over with my baby since he was 6 months and we always brought our car seat to put into taxis and ubers. We use the Bugaboo Turtle Air: https://www.bugaboo.com/us-en/accessories/car-seat/bugaboo-turtle-air-shield-by-nuna-car-seat-400016MI.html Its super light and hooks up to the car seat straps in less than 10 seconds. If you buy the Bugaboo stroller (we use the Butterfly: https://www.bugaboo.com/us-en/strollers/bugaboo-butterfly/) which is a super lightweight travel stroller, it has a connecting adapter so it just slots in on top of the stroller. This system has worked for me, taking my baby all over the US and one trip to Dubai last year.

Hi OP. I follow an amazing account that just did a huge deep dive into FRs in car seats. Here is what they found: https://www.modernnursery.com/blogs/all/added-fire-retardants-in-car-seats-exposing-popular-brands I ended up going with the Bugaboo Turtle Air by Nuna.

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

Then you’re going to want a newborn car seat if you want it to work with a stroller. Figure out what stroller you like and then get the car seat that works with, not the other way around. You’ll only be using this newborn seat for less than a year but using the stroller for much longer. We went with Nuna car seat and it’s been fine but that’s only because that’s what worked best with our bugaboo stroller.

I started with the Nuna Mix as a travel system but it was so massive. If I had another baby I’d get the Doona car seat and stroller and as they age out of that get another stroller small enough to fit on an airplane for when we travel.

We have one but honestly the price tag just doesn’t make sense unless you’re really sold on it and it fits your stroller needs. We really liked the concept of being able to use it without a base, but the way it functions without the base is pretty annoying (strap across lap). It’s light, but they all get heavy fast, so that’s similarly not something that rises to the price tag, IMO.

We went from a Nuna infant car seat to the graco turn2me. It’s like $250. It’s rear facing and then front facing up until they’re 100lbs. I like that the seat swivels so it’s easier to get them in and out of the car.
