Price sucks, but it’s well worth the investment!

We love these car seats! I researched for months on what would be best for us. We knew we absolutely wanted rotating for us and the grandparents. The options out there were limited and even the “affordable” ones seemed pricey. In addition I was really concerned about the age limit on these due to height and weight restrictions. We had uppa baby car seat before and knew the quality of it. We really wanted to stick with that high quality. Below is what I gathered from all my research on each option:
*Turn 2 me graco- 180 degree turn radius. Height and weight limit wasn’t much higher than nuna Revv
*Evenflo 360- I kept hearing the quality wasn’t great, but it was nice that it was most affordable and could last the longest
*cybex serona s 360- I kept reading that the load bar was annoying. I also read that you would have to install it again if you wanted to do rear facing and that the incline features weren’t as nice as people thought (but it came down to this one or nuna Revv for me because I kept hearing quality was there. I also liked the safety features). I also heard it was difficult to install.
*Baby jogger city turn- I read that this was nice, but the quality wasn’t there as much, and you would have to reinstall to go forward facing and once forward facing it wouldn’t rotate.
Nuna Revv- honestly the huge downside for me was the height limit for me and price. We needed 3 of them and I wanted them to all be the same. He did so well in his car seat and I didn’t want that to change. My son is also 99 percentile in height, so I didn’t want this to be done at 3-4 years old.
I finally decided that ultimately I wanted nuna Revv for the safety and quality. It about killed me to pay $2000+ for his car seats knowing that it would be done in a few years, but I’m so glad we did it. It’s soooo nice! We love the rotating feature. It’s so easy to install. The recline and rotating features are amazing. We don’t regret the purchase at all. And when he grows out, we will just get a booster seat. Even the nuna boosters are under $200. So i figure that one won’t hurt as much.
Ultimately, if you’re waivering between nuna and others, just do the nuna! You won’t be disappointed!
Ps at the time of my research I saw maxi cosi is coming out with a new 360 rotating seat. That is probably what I would have done if it was available but it wasn’t out yet when I had to purchase. So it wasn’t an option! I would consider looking at it if that was an option!
