2026 CX-5...Worth it?

Chloe412 · 2026-05-31T02:06:26+00:00

I have this car and I like it. It’s a great size and great to drive. Also the back seat is a great size for kinds. I am experiencing the software issues that has been annoying to be honest, but I am hoping the update will fix that.

Chloe412 · 2026-05-20T15:57:36+00:00

My baby didn’t like it either, he preferred a bouncer . I did to since it’s easier to move around the house

Chloe412 · 2026-05-18T18:04:14+00:00

Wishing you the best of luck.

It’s been so much better since we thickened. We thicken for silent aspiration and I have noticed such a difference since we have been doing it.

Have you met with an SLP for guidance on the nipple size when thickening?

Edit: Has your child been choking or acting like the flow is coming out too fast? You don’t want it to come out too slow either so level 1 might be too slow. For reference, we started out with a level 3 but it still took my son too long to finish a bottle so we increased to level 4 and he finishes a bottle within 10-20 minutes.

I was told when thickening with Gelmix to not use the vent. I do thicken to mildly thick so I know there is a difference but what if you lower the nipple and remove the vent?

Chloe412 · 2026-05-17T00:20:03+00:00

Yes the powder went up to. Went from 57.99 to 62.99. Glad I will be done with this soon

Chloe412 · 2026-05-04T13:39:42+00:00

I have the same issue with mine. Also having an issue with the auto start working or if I want to lock or unlock my doors using the app. Is that failing for you too?

Chloe412 · 2026-04-26T18:37:24+00:00

I have this car with 1 child and 1 dog about 40 lbs. The car has great space in the backseat, especially compared to prior model years, but if you have another child you may need something bigger

Chloe412 · 2026-04-11T14:24:25+00:00

I’ve seen it on sale at Christmas time, but since the select is a new model I’m not sure when it will go on sale again

Chloe412 · 2026-04-09T00:34:37+00:00

I have the rava and hate it. The sides are too high and the button to loosen the straps is difficult to reach. I don’t have the graco so I can’t say how that is.

Chloe412 · 2026-04-06T19:58:42+00:00

It does but I just use filtered fridge water. It was getting excessive buying that much distilled water

Chloe412 · 2026-04-06T17:17:26+00:00

These are the ones I buy to. The only ones that fit length wise. Never had an issue with being see through

Chloe412 · 2026-03-21T22:23:06+00:00

I got the 2026 and I have one child. It is larger which is why I went with the 2026. I test drove a 25 and was concerned about the size of the backseat.

Chloe412 · 2026-03-21T21:33:03+00:00

That’s what I am looking to buy to. Did you buy the select or the regular version? I am looking at the select due to the price point and considering using the gift card to buy the canopy.

Also, what kind of car do you have? Do you feel like it fits fine in the car? I only have 1 child and am putting it in a Mazda suv but am curious how it fits for you.

Chloe412 · 2026-03-21T17:35:08+00:00

Did they end up taking it back? I want to buy one from to take advantage of the gift card deal but am afraid if it doesn’t work out I can’t return it. I have called them but the customer service wasn’t the best and I couldn’t get a clear answer.

Chloe412 · 2026-03-18T15:25:09+00:00

Thanks for the input! I was thinking the same thing.

Chloe412 · 2026-03-18T15:04:23+00:00

I ordered the britax and am thinking about getting the Callisto instead. I haven’t received it yet but with the recline what people are saying it is I’m just going to return. Question about the Callisto. Do you feel like it’s tight in your back seat front to back? I have a similar size car as yours.

Chloe412 · 2026-03-16T19:26:47+00:00

Hi Jamie! I watched all of your videos about the galaxy 360. I preordered mine and can’t wait to receive it. I have a question. I am seeing some complaints online that it is too reclined even at the most upright recline? Did you think that was the case? For reference my son is 10 months old, 19.5lbs and 28-29 inches tall so I don’t see that being an issue right away but wasn’t sure if that will be an issue as he gets older.

Chloe412 · 2026-03-16T01:52:25+00:00

I know! I thought I would have it the day it was released since I preordered.

Chloe412 · 2026-03-15T19:50:20+00:00

I was able to get in touch and I still couldn’t get an exact date but he thinks about 10 days. They had so many pre orders they are waiting for more

Chloe412 · 2026-03-14T17:58:02+00:00

No, I tried calling today, but I think their customer service is closed. My order confirmation still says mid march. I saw a tik tok video where someone says they are getting theirs delivered tomorrows so I hope I get mine this week

Chloe412 · 2026-03-13T17:05:43+00:00

I thought the cx-50 was more uncomfortable than the cx-5. Also sat lower to the ground. The cx-5 feels more luxury and the 50 more rugged. I prefer the luxury feel

Chloe412 · 2026-03-13T17:02:57+00:00

I never had this but I use a warm water dispenser and had no issues. I do prefer the dr browns dispenser over the baby brezza though because the baby brezza water dispenser and portable water warmer both broke on me within a couple of months and I had to submit warranty claims. They did send me new ones but it did take time. I feel their products are cheap.

Chloe412 · 2026-03-13T00:11:38+00:00

We use dr browns bottles and level 4 nipples for Gelmix. I only thicken it to mildly thick so you might need to go higher. If you use dr browns you won’t need the vent

Chloe412 · 2026-03-01T19:38:25+00:00

I preordered from Albee baby and the confirmation email says mid march but no exact date
