I wish you had gone in to how this looks with a toddler and newborn. A lot of the inline double strollers have awkward or tight configurations that would be uncomfortable for the toddler. That’s really what I was trying to see as I was hoping to get the Cybex stroller. The donkey pricing is ridiculous for the duo, and with a rather bulky fold where you have to remove seats. At that price, I want a compact and quick fold.
@@florachang5416 the Silver Cross Jet 3 is approved to 44lbs in Canada. I believe you are referring to the American weight limit, but we are a Canadian retailer so go by Canadian standards!
Snuggle Bugz is a Canadian retailers and in Canada the Foonf is approved in rear facing to 40lbs. In the US, it is approved in rear facing to 50lbs. There are different standards between the two countries.
The booster mode can be used from a minimum 40lbs to 100lbs or 43"-52" tall. Forward-facing harnessed mode can accommodate a child to 65lbs or 49" - so there is some overlap there between modes. If you are wondering when to transition from forward-facing harnessed to booster mode, check out this great article! snugglebugz.ca/blogs/learning-centre/is-my-child-ready-for-a-booster-seat
As this is not a lay-flat toddler seat, we'd recommend using it in the reclined position as your child reaches approx. 4-6 months old and has more core support.
Great question - here is the adapter you'd need to configure your Vista with a Peg Perego infant seat: snugglebugz.ca/products/uppababy-vista-cruz-peg-4-35-adapter-all-years
If a customer has any concerns, they may wish to contact UPPAbaby Customer Service and they can help visually review an install and infant's position in the Mesa Max seat. This is a great example of why we always encourage friends to read their car seat manual and vehicle manual. For ALL infant car seats, ensuring you are getting the proper install angle and that baby is properly positioned in the seat is very important to ensuring their airways remain clear.
Thanks for asking this question! While the Brook stroller does not have any height adjustment in the handlebar, the handlebar height is at a normal range (meaning not particularly low or high) for comfortability at most heights. If you live local to a Snuggle Bugz store, call them and see if they have a floor model available to test out!
Hmm, the toddler seat should definitely recline using the black lever on the back of the toddler seat (top of the seat, in the middle). You may want to check your manual to ensure you are using the right lever, or you may wish to contact Britax Customer Service if you need further support!
For mesa max, some blogs and reddit posts are claiming that after you remove the infant insert, the c-shaped back makes it so that chin touches chest and creates a safety hazard. Did you also notice that possibility?

34 weeks preggo here and was able to get this system through insurance! I didn’t know that you could just pop nipples into the bottles, that is so cool! What kind/brand of nipples fit securely onto the bottle without leaking?
Hello! So glad you were able to get your pump covered. The brand suggested (and we showcased) the Dr. Browns narrow nipples. All sizes are available online through our e-comm site snugglebugz.ca!
Please help me! I have uppababy Vista v2. Don't like bucket seat for napping or changing diapers I'm looking for COMPLETE TRUE FLAT RECLINE SEAT!!!! (I found nuna Mixx Next) What other stroller has COMPLETE FLAT RECLINE SEAT?
Hello! You are on the right track -- the Nuna Mixx is about as "near flat" as you can get! OR use your bassinet-- but babes grow out of those quite quickly and that wont be helpful for an on-the-go change after 6 months.
Which is easiest for one handed pushing? it was hard to tell. you do seem most excited about the bugaboo- but I just love the compactness and what looks to be ease of use of the nuna...but it is one pound heavier
Bugaboo hands down has an easier, one-handed push. Nuna hands down has a more compact fold. I would say the weight difference between these strollers is not even noticeable.
Hello! Ahh sounds tricky. We suggest going in to one of our stores and having the team "dry fit" a few possible options right in your truck. We can't suggest any off hand since we don't own your exact vehicle. We KNOW our team in store will be able to help!
@@SnuggleBugzStore it’s a ‘19 F150. Unfortunately I live in the U.S. and really only big box stores around me who really have little to no knowledge about seats. Thank for the reply though.
A lot of people are talking about how Mesa seats have chin to chest issue for infants and it can cause positional asphyxiation. What's your take on that?

My daughter just turned 9 and rides in a diono monterey high back booster seat. She loves it! We kept her in a 5 point harness untill she was almost 8 and then moved her to a high back booster, we chose diono because they seem to have pretty good ratings. Great video!❤
It's a little heavier than the other strollers but I had to go with Uppababy. They've been around less than 20 years but something about that solid frame really sold me. Got a Vista V2 and the new Aria car seat all ready for when our little one arrives 🥰 (close second was the Bugaboo Donkey 5, would have chose that if we were having twins)
True rigid latch will give you the most secure installation, however, semi/soft-latch will also get you a VERY secure installation. Typically a latch installation will be safer than a seatbelt installation (due to higher risk for user error with seatbelt) when UAS latches are available.
@@SnuggleBugzStore Thank you! I am looking between the Aria and the Liing; on the one hand, the Aria is way lighter, but the Liing has the hard latch. Still not super sure.
Do not get the nuna rava. Rebound bar comes off way too easily. Our 2 year old was inadvertently pushing it off since 16 months. This is terrible in the event of a collision. 8/10 times when I go and take my child out of the car seat the rebound bar is off or halfway off. Our friends have reported the same. If you are wondering. Yes, I looked in detail to ensure it’s being installed correctly. And triple checked the instruction manual. Lastly, I noticed a lot of movement in the left side head rest. Removed the fabric cover and saw the styrofoam had broke off as it was glued on poorly. Trust me, this is regular styrofoam as well. We paid over $850 at the time. Definitely don’t buy.
Thank you for sharing your feedback! This isn't something we had heard from customers before so we reached out to our friends at Nuna for their response: Nuna has added snaps on the seat pad to attach the rebound bar to help keep the bar in place. Nuna has added additional adhesive to further secure the foam to the seat frame.
@@SnuggleBugzStore Well I was at a display last week and the rebound bar came off the nuna rava with minimal force. If they admit both of these problems. And is a hazard to children, what would they do for existing customers?

@@SnuggleBugzStore If nuna made these adjustments. They have admitted that their product was subpar and had these two issues. So what are they going to do to remedy the problem for customers who already bought it. Because both are safety issues.
We're sorry to hear you are having issues with your UPPAbaby fabric, this isn't an issue that has come up much to do. Luckily, UPPAbaby does offer an extended warranty of up to 3 years on their strollers, check it out here: uppababy.ca/warranty/
Without knowing your exact issue, you can reach out to a local Snuggle Bugz store snugglebugz.ca/pages/store-locations or our Customer Service team at sales@snugglebugz.ca and they may be able to assist you!
Something that’s really important to me, and I never hear you mention it, is are they sprayed with flame retardants or are they natural? Also the materials. I’d rather natural fibers as opposed to plastics or forever chemicals. What the baby is breathing and touching is a lot more important to me than ease of use. Edit to add; I may be alone in this but; I’d rather save recycling plastic bottles for nonbaby items. Plastic is plastic. It off-gases, especially when the sun is hot and beating off of it. I’d rather cotton, bamboo, linen, wool, viscose, etc. I suppose I’m commenting more for the manufactures. 😂
Hi Jillian, love this question, thank you for asking it! Fabrics could be a 45 minute video all on it's own, lol! I would suggest your best bet here is to go to the individual product listings on snugglebugz.ca, where any available information on fabrics that's been shared with us by the manufacturer would be included. We also have a Learning Centre article on What is Flame Retardant Free Bear Gear? For anyone seeing this comment who might want to delve a bit deeper: snugglebugz.ca/blogs/learning-centre/what-is-flame-retardant-free-baby-gear. The Silver Cross Wave stroller you're mentioning with recycled plastic bottles DOES have a bamboo insert that the child would physically be sitting on... :)
Ho god! You missed one important feature of the dragonfly: the usage of its dragonfly handle (hence its name 😉): in folded position you don’t even need to carry it on the shoulder nor lift and carry. You just pull it to roll behind you using the dragonfly while you walk. Major feature in my opinion in favour to Dragonfly model. Sad it was not even mentioned.

The Silver Cross Wave is compatible with multiple infant car seat brands (Clek, Cybex, Maxi-Cosi, Nuna, etc.) while Nuna strollers are only compatible with Nuna infant car seats 😊
