Infasecure Attain Premium vs Maxi Cosi Pria vs Britax Graphene

Hi everyone,
FTM here prepping for arrival of baby so slowly securing all the necessities.

I know the Britax Graphene and Maxi Cosi Pria are highly rated car seats on here, but would like to find out if anyone has experience with the InfaSecure Attain Premium?

I know the main reason a lot of people LOVE the Maxi Cosi Pria is because of its drop tether system, which the Britax Graphene and Infasecure Attain Premium does not have. But besides the drop tether system, is there anything else in particular that would make you choose the Maxi Cosi Pria over other brands' models?
Also conscious that the Infasecure Attain Premium does not have ISOFIX, but I heard some people prefer non-ISOFIX...

Love to hear everyone's thoughts on it!

Thank you

Cot Mattresses Recommendations

Hi everyone,

I got a Boori Country Collection Cot off marketplace, and am searching for a cot mattress to fit it in before baby's arrival.

I am clueless about the world of cot mattresses, whether to go with spring, foam or latex etc. + anything else I need to be aware of.

Can seasoned mummies send through their recommendations on cot mattresses and why.
Would also like to hear what to look out for in cot mattresses and why!

Thank you :)

Wardrobe recommendations - Flat Pack/Ready Made vs Custom (Family with upcoming newborn)

Hi,

I would like to get some recommendations on wardrobes whether it is better to go down the track of flat-pack/ready made wardrobes to getting it custom made by say a carpenter?

For context, small family with a newborn baby coming up soon.
For cost efficiency and longevity should we go down the route of the standard flat-pack like IKEA(also open to other recommendations) or get it custom built with good materials selected by a carpenter?

Of course would like to factor in the costs between the two options since an IKEA flat pack wardrobe for a single room would roughly already cost in the region of ~$900-$1,200.
But I am not sure about getting a custom made one by a carpenter, how much would that costs and of course there are some who cut corners for cost and use poorer materials.
I want to make sure the materials are also same for newborns too.

If going with IKEA, would you recommend sliding or open doors?

Thank you!

Car seat recommendations - Newborn and beyond (looking for longevity and value)

Hi Moms!
I am looking to get some car seat recommendations that can be used from newborn onwards (will not be purchasing a capsule).
I understand that there are car seats where it’s not good for heat distribution especially in the warmer months, so looking to avoid that.

Other than that, just looking for a good value car seat that is long lasting and works well, nothing fancy.
Maybe something that is ISOFIX? Which I heard is good and easier for installation(?) but correct me if I am wrong as this is all brand new info for me 😅

Will be fitted in a Toyota Camry Sedan

Thank you! ☺️
