Nuna - Turtle One by Nuna

1. **Bugaboo Turtle One by Nuna car seat** with base. It's basically the Nuna carseat that is light has the ability to strap in without the base. Great for planes or cars without the base. I probably would have just gotten car seat from Nuna instead of the bugaboo collab. I'm petite so a lighter carseat was beneficial. 2. **Nuna Exec** (toddler carseat). I bought a cheap spare carseat from Target for the nanny and parents, and it is nothing like the Nuna exec. The target car seat doesn't seem as secure. 3. **Nesting Wave crib.** Goes from mini crib to full size crib (two levels), then a toddler bed. I love getting pieces that can be used for different things. 4. **Halo BassiNest Luxe**. I planned on using the Nestig mini crib as a basinet, but I had some issues after pregnancy so we also got the Halo. I love how easy it is to move when it's next to your bed. 5. **Bugaboo Bee** was great. Smaller stroller but you can still add the carseat on top. I don't like bulky items which is why I didn't got with the Uppa Baby. It seems more robust than the Butterly, but still compact. I think the bee can handle uneven terrain better than the Butterly. 6. **Bugaboo Butterly**. Love this thing. Started using it when my kid was like 1 yrs old. Love how compact it is. 7. **Stokke Tripp Trapp** is great for the dining room table. I love how it converts into a regular chair. A little annoying to remove the high chair parts and clean. 8. **My Happy Helpers Countertop Dine and Grow** high chair. It's the perfect height for an island. You can buy it with the harness and remove it later on. 9. **Honda Pilot Elite:** bought this with our toddler and 95 lb. dog in mind. **What I really didn't need:** 1. **Baby Bjorn Bouncer.** My baby didn't really use this. It's a preference. 2. **Diaper pail.** Ewww, not sure why I thought it would be a great idea to keep dirty diapers inside the house. I just throw them out right away.

My brother and SIL had kids first in our family. My SIL is a little boujee and wanted Nuna everything. I had my son a year after their daughter so they lent my their Nuna carseat and bassinet with base and gifted me the Nuna stroller. I was appreciative but thought $1k for all that mess was excessive. I would not have sprung for it had it not been gifted. I really loved it though. It was so easy. I've lent it to friends. Our Nuna stuff has gone through 6 babies so far. I now have baby #2 5 years later. The infant car seat has since expired so I sprung for a new Nuna so it would fit with the whole system. She sleeps in the bassinet downstairs during the day and I just click that into the stroller for walks then I switch it out with the car seat to go somewhere. The stroller is really nice because even though it's big and heavy duty it travels really well. It's great for just getting over mixed terrain. My friend who borrowed it last wanted a smaller lighter stroller but ended up borrowing mine and using it more because it handled so much better on bumpy roads and terrain. Anyway I'm thankful for my boujee SIL because she was right and it was made my life a lot easier.

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.

I think the Nuna is one of, if not *the* lightest infant seat on the market!

I have heard the Uppababy car seats have improved from when I was looking but will always suggest a Nuna infant car seat over an Uppababy for the simple fact that Nuna car seats are compatible with many different brands of strollers should you have different needs with a possible baby #2 or if you travel by plane and bring a smaller travel stroller. What are you planning to do with your stroller? Are you outdoorsy people? Will it mostly be used indoors or on smooth sidewalks? Do you live in the suburbs and need to load it in and out of the car frequently? How important is storage to you?

CPST- feel free to PM me for more details or suggestions. Basically some of the more expensive brands are more complicated to install or are outgrown more quickly. For instance the nuna infant seat needs a rolled towel to get it level in most vehicles. Uppababy infant seats are outgrown very quickly. You mentioned Clek but Clek is one brand that is very recommended by techs. I own 3 of them myself. The Clek liing is one of the most highly recommended infant seats on the market. We couldn't use it in our vehicles because we have Ev's but that would have been my top pick otherwise. We own 3 Clek foonfs. The Clek also has adaptors for uppababy strollers if you go that route.

Sometimes Nordstrom discounts Nuna products. We got our infant car seat on Black Friday a few years back for my first.

i’ve had two nunas; you HAVE to rear face them for infants my dude (preferably as long as possible). and let me tell you; when i had a mazda 3, it made the front passenger seat unusable. i had to get an outback as a 2nd family car to make it work and they’re known to have a gigantic rear passenger seating area. there’s no way i’m breaking my back trying to fit my kid in the back of my brz lmao; maybe once he can front-face and climb in/out himself, then i’ll consider it

you can make it work as long as the nuna base fits (i dont see why it wouldnt) but the front passenger seat needs to be pushed all the way out front. since youre looking at nunas, i definitely recommend getting a base/stroller/ carseat combo so you can just clip in and out without having to struggle actually putting your infant in the seat

So we started out with the Nuna travel system and got bases for my car, my husbands truck and my moms car. I got the cheaper stroller of their line with my first that the car seat attaches to. When he outgrew the infant car seat at about a year, I got the Evolve 360 as others have recommended and love it, I highly recommend that one while they’re still rear facing. Now that he’s facing forward he can just crawl in himself so we have a cheaper one and will use the evolve for my 2 month old once he outgrows the infant car seat. For my second I am reusing the infant car seat and bought the nicer stroller secondhand that the car seat can click into, but also has a comfier seat attachment and bassinet attachment. If I had to do it over, I may look at other brands that do the same thing but less expensive than Nuna, but overall happy with our experience and their products.

Nuna makes an awesome infant carrier we just got two bases

We have the nuna and I don’t feel like it’s heavy at all. I’m dad so maybe that’s why but it’s super super light compared to my brothers Doona. Also, my nephew who is 30th percentile has already grown out of his Doona at 1. Plus the tires on the Doona are tiny. And plastic. I routinely run over large rocks/curbs/anything I wasn’t with our nuna and my 11 month old loves it.

No man that thing weighs more than my son. My SIL is tiny. Like 4-11, 100lbs and the only way she gets that beast out of my brothers truck is basically just chucking it. Plus, those wheels just aren’t made as well as the Nunas. All my friends have children and of all of our car seat/stroller systems I can confidently say the Nuna is the best I’ve seen. By a wide margin Edit: my 11 month old is also gonna fit in the Nuna for a long time still. He’s almost too big for my nephews Doona already

I think personal preference, personality, first time parents, and overconsumption is a huge part of this. As a FTM, husband and I wanted to splurge specifically on a nuna system (mainly because you didn’t need a base in every car to use and I see resale ones on FB marketplace), but were lucky as heck a grandparent wanted to gift us the funds for it… Aside from that initial planned investment, I asked for pre-loved clothes at my shower. Registered for a microwave sterilizer vs a machine. Couldn’t decide on a carrier bc they are overwhelming to pick and so expensive, so I settled for a boba wrap at least for the newborn phase. Even though they were gifts I wasn’t paying for, I didn’t want to contribute to overconsumption. Curious if there are specific items you are looking for? You got this!

I didn’t use one with my first and I did with my second and it is honestly just so easy to be able to click them in to their stroller in the bucket. For me it made the biggest difference with errands and appointments. Without it, just being able to stop at a grocery store was a pain pulling her out and getting the carrier on, or if she was sleeping I couldn’t stop because I didn’t want to wake her. With my 2nd baby and the travel system (we have the Nuna) it’s so much easier. I just click her in and zip in and out of the store. Same with appointments etc. it was still a hard pill to swallow buying a $500 car seat we would use for only a year, but it’s definitely been worth it.

We also have the era. I love that you can recline it flat for walks. We got nuna car seat because I liked the materials and it's very light. I'm not sure if it'll fit in a small car (it fits great in my Rav) but definitely another option to look into. I found the Chicco car seat very heavy and bulky in comparison

Our nuna car seats are hands down the best. We’ve bought cheap brands for travel + the maxi cosi’s for grandparents cars to compare. The nuna feels the sturdiest, highest end, and the thing doesn’t budge. It’s also incredibly comfortable and grows with your kids.

I think you'll be happy with either stroller - but I would really recommend looking at Nuna car seats instead of UB. UB just doesn't design their seats as well and there are more issues with fit than Nuna ever has. Do you expect another kid in the near future? I prefer the fold of the Demi to the Vista. I get so annoyed with closing the Vista and opening it, but it is a dream to push! I also love that the Demi comes with a built in mosquito net, and the second kid seat is not reduced limits like on the Vista. I never even tried the Demi unfortunately and I regret it!!

My biggest suggestion is to test drive them if you can. My requirement was one that I could maneuver one handed as I walk the the dog at the same time. I was able to get a Nuna off Craigslist for a good price, so that's what we went with. So far I am happy with its maneuverability and how easy it is to click in the cars eat, Bassinet, etc. It is a bit on the heavy side though and takes up a lot of trunk space in the car.

Yeah, we had major sticker shock looking at strollers. I checked the 2nd hand market every day to see if we could snag either a nuna or uppababy. Eventually, I got super lucky, and the Nuna came up at a very reasonable price with multiple attachments. Typically, the car seat is sold separately from the stroller. You can mix and match some brands if you get the right attachment. I know you can use the Nuna car seat with the uppababy stroller.

Keep the Nuna carseat, get a Cybex Gazelle with bassinet attachment and/or Nuna carseat adapter attachment. Done.

I don’t have a full system but the nuna car seat and its adapters work well with our stroller (babyzen yoyo). We do find it’s easier to release one side at a time.

I’m a third time mom. I have a 17, 15 and 22 month old. The Nuna Car Seat is a splurge but well worth it! I am a registered nurse turned stay at home mom so believe me when I say it’s compact, simple to use and durable!

I just scored a deal for a Nuna car seat and stroller system through Crate & Barrel, about $350 off around a month or two ago? Color wasn’t my top choice (we got the navy/ocean blue and I love the look of the black and the brown leather detail, but for almost $400 off I’ll take the navy lol)

I also went with the Doona for travel and uppababy for the stroller / bassinet. However, I read a ton of similar complaints about the car seat so I went with the Nuna car seat. It easily snaps in to the uppababy with the attachment and works really well.
