Verdict

Off its base, the Cloud T reclines near flat, so a sleeping baby is not held at car-seat angle in the stroller. On the base it rotates toward the door for loading, the only carrier here that does.

At 12 lb the carrier alone outweighs the Pipa RX by 4 lb before the baby goes in, and the rotation only works with its own base. Daily carrying favours the lighter seats.

What we liked

  • Reclines flat outside the car
  • Rotates on its base for loading
  • Side-impact pod included

What we didn't like

  • 12 lb carrier, joint heaviest compared
  • Rotation needs the Cybex base
  • High price for an infant-only seat
