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.

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

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.

I went with the cheapest Nuna travel system. It was around $800 for both the infant car seat and stroller combined. I’m hoping it’s good enough quality that I can use it for my second. It’s honestly super nice… but getting a stroller and car seat that was green guard certified was a top priority for me. I don’t want my baby exposed to excess chemicals and flame retardant fumes. I really hated that it was so expensive though.

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!

We decided on nuna when I was around 14 weeks pregnant. Its lightweight and quick to pop in and out of the trunk. It's my one baby purchase I bought during pregnancy that I didn't regret or ended up having to buy another brand. I'd recommend going to a Nordstrom or similar department store that carries them to try them out. We did this and it helped us pick which one fit our needs best.

Vista car seat is too large and bulky. Get the Nuna travel system. I HATE my uppa baby vista. It’s so large and bulky. I ended up buying the Nuna Triv. I originally bought the Nuna Trvl LX, but returned it

Nuna has one of the highest ratings for ease of installing/latch/use!

I believe it scored the highest in crash safety ratings. It also scored the best in other factors like comfortability, ease of install/use/latch, etc. It’s very expensive, but it’s protecting life. To me, that’s worth everything. If you’re saving money, don’t save on this. Allocate the extra $250 (or whatever difference) into this and cut that amount elsewhere (like the stroller).

Nuna makes an awesome infant carrier we just got two bases

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.
