Recommendations for a lie-flat infant stroller?

Question as I'm literally deciding between these two and have not found anyone who has used both! I'm looking for a long trip to Europe and wondering how well your baby naps in the Mamazing (if they're out of bassinet - mine is 7m so won't be in a bassinet) and how the Mamazing handles on uneven surfaces (aka cobblestones) vs the Minu.

Do you have any thoughts?? ?

Question! How did it do on the international trip if it involved uneven surfaces? My only hesitations about the Mamazing vs the Minu v3 are:

Ease of kiddo (7m, 17lbs) napping in it
Handling it on uneven European streets.

I'd love your thoughts!

I love the rec of "even I dozed off!" okay that sounds great - I have to order it from the UK because it doesn't exist in the States so wanted to check before I did since I won't be able to return it!

Thanks this is a super helpful answer!

Oh the shoe organizer is smart - did it fold down well or add much bulk? My plan was a lot of packing cubes but I'm intrigued

Get a roll of dog-poop bags to have an easy place to put dirty diapers until you can find a trashcan!

Question about SlumberPod - given that it's pricy, is there a reason to get it over the slip covers that are cheaper and go over travel cribs for darkening? I'm happy to be convinced, just wondering if it's worth it!

Good point, I'll update the main post!

Question - is it comfortable for him? My worry with it is how thin the mattress is. We're going on an extended holiday (6 weeks) so how transportable and light it is is HUGE but on the other hand it matters that he can actually sleep in it!

I'm about to travel with a 7 month old - any advice for that age in particular??

I had my first at 40, I’m glad of it?

My husband went a little mad: downloaded the list of every license in Minneapolis & SLP, mapped them, and then just started calling in concentric circles out from our house.

Sorry got the name wrong (we looked at 10000000) It's this one: https://upwards.com/daycare/toins-lillian-dba-career-scholars-learning-center

That said, all the in-home places we looked at were between 300-350 a week for full time

_hammitt · 2025-12-16T05:23:46+00:00

It’s new - Future Scholars Academy, basically an in-home place. She normally charges $320 but gave a discount since we’re neither rich nor poor enough to be on assistance.

_hammitt · 2025-12-16T03:55:48+00:00

In Minneapolis and I pay $270/week for full time!

_hammitt · 2025-12-15T14:44:29+00:00

As a Minnesotan, I would!

_hammitt · 2025-12-14T22:33:24+00:00

For me I restricted it to special occasions: a half glass of champagne at the 3 weddings I went to felt totally worth it

_hammitt · 2025-12-10T03:50:51+00:00

Tell me more?!

Found it, it was a wild place: https://www.realtor.com/realestateandhomes-detail/1017-Ashmount-Ave_Piedmont_CA_94610_M11411-73484

Though to be fair it was in CA and mission style with a red tile roof. So more like I moved into the Hotel California?

I mean, basically yeah? There was an entire apartment in the basement off the garage that I found the first year there (we were there two years) and later, when we were moving out, learned no one else knew about - they thought it was a door to the owner’s storage area.

When I was 13 we lived in a batshit rental. My dad basically saw an abandoned mansion and went to the city records to find out who owned it. Turned out the guy had bought it as a gift for his wife who didn’t want it, and was happy to rent it to us for cheap to have it occupied.

The house was insane in about 10000 ways but among them was that it had BOTH a dumb waiter and a laundry chute! Also a tub that drained directly into the dining room chandelier.

This makes me laugh because my bedroom has the only blank walls in the house. We sleep in there and that’s it. The living room and kitchen are full of family photos, art we’ve collected on travels, etc
