  "answer": "UPPAbaby Cruz V2: The seat reclines with a button and reverses with two buttons; this user finds it not flat enough for nappy changes, though other tests say it reclines almost flat.\nCybex Platinum Priam 4: The Priam 4 frame can be used from birth with a Cybex Lux carrycot or Cybex infant car seat, then with the reversible seat unit. Reddit commenters describe the Priam as luxurious and praise its suspension, stair mode, one-piece fold, forward/backward seat and ability to handle snow.\nDiono Editions Excurze: Says the bumper bar does not open when the seat is parent-facing, which makes it harder to lift a child in and out.",
