Thread: Post your A3 Baby Seat + Stroller

    Yes, to my knowledge, there is no US stroller / adapter compatible with the Recaro infant seats. I bought it to use in my car coupled with a pram setup - the Snugride in the wife's car.

    Hi,
    Customer Service. Many people commented on the excellent customer service they received from Uppababy. There were many stories of people finding the company very helpful and easy to work with if problems arose with the stroller. This, in our opinion, is really important especially when considering the investment one makes in a stroller these days.

    We got a little rugrat due in a couple weeks. Have an Uppa Baby Vista that I got on CraigsList for like a third the price. Probably getting a Graco infant seat. Will post pics when it's installed.

    My lady doesn't like the A3 sport seats though. She says they're for skinny people or non-pregnant people. So she lays down in the back (probably not the safest thing) or we drive her Prius (not the most enjoyable thing).

    So that will be a nice advantage to her not being pregnant anymore - lady in the front, baby in the back, and driving precision German wonderfulness (as it should be).

    Great info on this thread. New soon to be dad here.

    Will any of these car seats fit rear facing in the back center seat? I would think that is the safest spot in the car. Or is just too awkward to get your cargo in and out from the center seat?

    I'm hoping not to loose any front passenger leg room.

    We used the Chicco Keyfit 30 travel system (seat/base/stroller) with our son from 0-9mo. It was the simplest to click in and out of the base/stroller that we tried. My quote was "I could even get this right after a few beers" which my pregnant wife was not amused by. I used it in the center in the A3 and did not have to adjust front seat position at all. The stroller fills a good part of the hatch, but is easy to open/close and seat clicks in intuitively.

    When he was 9mo we switched to a Recaro ProRIDE behind the passenger seat. Still rear facing, it is admittedly a tight fit and tall passengers are not amused. Per the manual, a folded towel was required to get a more level position. Fitment is, however, better than our runner-up the Diono Radian RXT. I really like the adjustability of the straps/head restraint of the Recaro vs the other options we considered, plus the construction appears superior.

    Current stroller is Maxi Cosi Mila. We were torn between this and the Uppa G-Luxe for a compact ride for him, the Mila is a little heavier but seems far more durable. Fits great in the hatch leaving plenty of room for beer.

    Congrats man! No real input regarding car seats...but interested to know what you find out. I'll probably be in the same boat at some point in the future
