  "answer": "UPPAbaby Aria V2: The carrier weighs 6 lb without the canopy and infant insert. The carrier measured 6.8 lb on the test scale, above the claimed 6 lb but still the lightest carrier in the comparison group.\nPhil & Teds Alpha: The independent review reports the original Alpha carrier weight as 8.3 lb.\nClek Liing (SKUs LG24U1-...): The carrier weighs 9 lb with the newborn insert removed and the base weighs 17 lb.\nChicco KeyFit Max Zip ClearLux Infant Car Seat: A review puts the carrier at about 10 pounds, average for an infant seat and manageable with the one-hand adjustable handle; another review gives about 10.6 pounds, so the sources disagree on the carrier's weight.",
