Car seat we had for our first expired last month and I need a new one for my baby due in December. We have a Honda accord and plan to buy a CRV or RAV4 or something similar soon. The seat will be used in both with bases. I have a used uppababy stroller and my older daughter is in a nuna rava which we like. I’ve read mixed things online about all the seats we’re considering. This is our last baby and if we can save a little money without compromising significantly on ease of use or safety, that’d be cool.

Options I’ve looked at most:
Chicco keyfit max cleartex
Uppababy aria v2
Nuna pipa aire rx

Open to other suggestions if those aren’t suitable. Thanks so much!

I am an impatient grumpy preggo elder millennial second time mom and I need someone to tell me what carrier to get lol. I had an ergobaby Omni 360 mesh w my daughter and found it bulky, hard to adjust, and scratchy. We hardly used it. I also was gifted various wraps and hated them all, I just don’t have the patience to mess with them and learn how to origami myself. Also my daughter hated them.

So basically I want a structured carrier that’s soft, super easy to get on, minimal adjusting with good support for baby. I want to be able to use it right away for a newborn. I liked the idea of the baby bjorn mini bc it clips in the front (!) but I see here that ppl don’t think it’s good. I also looked at ergo baby embrace but am worried it’ll annoy me like the Omni and also don’t like that the head seems to flop around in it? Are there other carriers that clip in the front? Help!
