Babylist’s Most Registered-For Car Seats and Strollers

Chosen by Babylist parents as the top infant car seat in our Most Loved Baby Products survey, it’s no surprise that the Pipa Rx is also one of the most registered-for car seats on Babylist. This lightweight pick stands out for its impressive safety features, including a stability leg and an anti-rebound panel. If you love the Pipa line but want something even lighter, the Aire Rx is another popular registry choice and shaves off a few pounds from the original model.

Parents love the unmatched convenience of the Doona; it transforms from an infant car seat to a stroller in just a few seconds. Just note that in stroller mode, it lacks storage and suspension, so it’s not the right fit for all families.

The KeyFit Max is easy to install and fits most babies—and most vehicles—well. It also uses ClearTex fabric, which is free of added flame retardants.

It’s easy to build a travel system (a car seat + a stroller that work together) with this car seat and an UPPAbaby stroller. (And it works with some other stroller brands, too.) The V3 features improved newborn fit and a full-coverage canopy with magnetic mesh ventilation.

Budget-friendly but packed with safety features, the SnugRide SnugFit is a solid choice for families looking for dependable protection without the premium price tag.

The Rava gets big-time praise for how easy it is to install as well as for its fit—it works well for a wide range of babies and toddlers and in a variety of vehicles. (This isn’t the case with all seats. Many convertible car seats don’t fit smaller babies well, for example, and not all car seats fit in all vehicles.) Parents also like the simple design and breathable fabric.

The most popular Graco convertible seat on Babylist registries, the Extend2Fit can be used for many years—rear-facing, forward-facing, then as a booster. The extendable footrest panel gives kids a little more legroom when rear-facing. And it was voted the best convertible car seat by Babylist parents in our annual survey.

Rotating car seats—car seats that spin on their bases—have become more and more popular on Babylist registries over the last few years. Parents love them because they make getting kids in and out of the car a lot easier. The Extend works as a rear-facing, forward-facing and booster seat and rear faces up to 50 pounds.

A newer seat showing up on more and more registries, the Chili Spin is another excellent rotating seat with a fairly small footprint. (Rotating seats tend to be larger than many traditional convertibles.) It’s also one of the more affordable rotating options.

And one more rotating car seat for the win! The Turn2Me grows from a convertible car seat to a booster and is easy to install securely, thanks to Graco’s SnugLock technology.

This stroller earns a high spot on Babylist registries and high praise for its luxe features at a more affordable price tag. It’s also a convertible stroller, which means you can add on a second seat (and a riding board) for up to three kids.

Almost 25% of Babylist parents named the V3 as their favorite stroller in our annual survey, so it makes sense that this popular pick is also on our most registered-for list. The Vista features a smooth ride, an extra-large storage basket, modular seating and luxury finishes. Like the Mockingbird, it works for up to three riders and also features a bassinet add-on.

The standout feature on this stroller (besides the affordable price point) is that the seat converts to a bassinet, so you won’t need any extra attachments or inserts to use it from birth.

Babylist parents love Nuna car seats and Nuna strollers. The MIXX next folds easily, has a big storage basket and rides smoothly over different terrains. The magnetic buckle is a small detail, but it makes buckling in a little easier.

The Triv is another popular Nuna pick. A lighter stroller than the MIXX, the TRIV still has lots of premium features like a quick, one-handed fold, magnetic buckles and all-wheel suspension. It’s a good fit for families who want something easy to fold and carry but not too bare-bones.

A travel system pairs a stroller and car seat that connect seamlessly. While you can sometimes mix stroller + car seat brands using adapters, it’s not always possible. Many parents opt for a pre-made travel system from the same brand out of convenience. Exclusive to Babylist, this bundle combines the baseless PIPA urbn car seat and TAVO stroller. Parents love the lightweight, easy-to-install car seat and the fact that it clicks into the stroller without adapters.

This travel system includes the modular Corso stroller and the popular KeyFit 35 car seat. It’s a good value when you factor in price versus quality, and that the stroller will last you for many years.

The more affordable Chicco travel system on the list, parents appreciate both the price and the ease of this car seat + stroller pair. The stroller features a one-handed, self-standing fold and the KeyFit 30 infant seat fits both babies and vehicles really well.

Versatility is the standout feature of this popular travel system. The built-in bassinet means you can use the stroller from day one (with or without the car seat). Parents also like that the stroller is fairly lightweight when compared to similar options.

The Element is the most registered-for budget travel system on the list. It offers a reversible stroller seat and an included SnugRide car seat that’s lightweight.
