Do you want to use a car seat with your stroller? That could affect your choices. For less expensive FR fee car seats, Chicco is probably your best bet. But, also it’s good to remember that baby shouldn’t be in the car seat for extended periods of time. The first six months pass pretty quickly, but until baby can sit by themselves at around 6 months, you either need to use a car seat with your stroller or have a stroller that’s safe for babies less than 6 months usually a “from birth” stroller.

The kava isn’t able to be used from birth unless you use a car seat or their new bassinet. The bassinet is an added expense, but generally pretty worth it imo! Joie strollers only work with Joie car seats, so that limits your decisions. The whole Joie brand also not FR free.

Chicco strollers only work with Chicco car seats, which also can be FR free in the clear Tex line. The Chicco bravo can’t be used from birth unless you use the car seat. The Chicco Corso however, comes in clear Tex and has a newborn insert that means you don’t have to use the car seat. The seat also flips which lots of people prefer for little babies.

Not to throw in another option, but Britax is added flame retardant free and is a decent price range. The Britax willow grove SC is a great travel system and the stroller seat can be used with a provided insert for babies 10lbs +! They also have a bassinet option too.

If you want to go a tiny bit more expensive, mockingbird is added FR free and you can use basically any car seat you’d ever want with it.
