Turtle Air

We got Bugaboo Fox and turtle car seat. Our neighborhood has lots of steep hills and we also live next to a park with many trails. Nuna felt a bit too unstable on uneven roads

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.

My parents have a Graco for their car and we have a Nuna in my husband’s car! We love both equally! The Nuna is “nicer” and if non-toxic materials are important to you, go with the Nuna. We have the Tavo stroller as well and the seat reclines fully and the footrest folds up to create a bassinet. We have never used a Graco stroller, but love our Nuna stroller! Getting ready for our second and we once again are going to be using the Nuna infant seat and purchasing a Rava when the time comes.

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.
