Mockingbird Single 3.0 vs Britax Prism
At $475 and $480 they are priced the same, so check the rest. The Mockingbird Single 3.0 weighs 27 lb and folds to 16 x 26 x 34 inches; the Britax Prism weighs 24.38 lb and folds to 37.4 x 23.6 x 20, longer but lighter. Both stand folded, both take a newborn only with extras sold separately, and both cap a child at 50 lb. The car-seat difference is large: Mockingbird sells a $50 adapter covering ten seats, from Mesa and Aria to Pipa, Cybex, KeyFit and SnugRide, while Britax includes adapters but names only select Britax infant seats. Unless the infant seat is a Britax, the Mockingbird's adapter list makes it the more flexible buy, for $5 less.
Folded, the Mockingbird Single 3.0 makes a 8.19 cu ft box to the Britax Prism's 10.25 cu ft. Neither fits a 22 x 14 x 9 in carry-on sizer: the Mockingbird Single 3.0 misses by 12 in and the Britax Prism by 15.4 in. The Britax Prism is 2.62 lb lighter by its maker's figure (24.38 lb to 27 lb).
