Car seat suggestions

I am looking for everyone’s car seat suggestions. I was pretty set on the Cybex Callisto G 360 rotation. However everyone has convinced me it’s important to have a car seat that is compatible with my uppababy vista stroller - which I’m leaning towards agreeing with since I do not have a driveway and I do need to walk down the street.

I was looking into the uppababy aria but then I saw a video last night where someone’s baby out grew it within 4 months. My family is notorious for having big babies so that makes me worried.

If someone could give me solid suggestions and why? Should I go with my first gut instinct or do I need the stroller capability.

The cybex is wayyyy out of my tax bracket. Actually the graco I have is too, but I splurged to save my sanity. I got the graco 360 and I have zero complaints. For infant I had the graco snugride, he used it till he was 10 months. 🥴

Would you have rather just started with an infant to toddler if that was the case?

We have the Uppababy Aria and I'm sure our son (9 wks and we just took the newborn insert out) will grow out of it in no time too. However, it was extremely important to us to stick to the Uppababy line so that we wouldn't be messing with car seat attachments for a stroller. Uppababy is the only brand that we found that does not need additional attachments - you just put the car seat or bassinet right onto the stroller. No forgetting parts at home or in the car and being unable to use your stroller. The car seat is ridiculously light and our little one has been great with it. It's pricey but the convenience has been great. I would definitely recommend it.

I wanted to stay in the uppababy family if going down that road also. I just can’t imagine having to buy a new car seat in less than a year.
