I loved it for traveling. Also amazed a couple pilots when I was collapsing it at the gate for them to check. It was perfect because my trip involved car rentals, car shares and flying. That said it is pricey so if you could borrow one for travel that would be the way. It’s my every day stroller though.
r/NewParents • Has anyone tried the Doona car seat/stroller? Is it really worth the hype? ->I have used it as my primary stroller since my son was born and love it. It has been super helpful for me and I don’t regret it for a second. I live in a city and don’t own a car so it is very conducive to my lifestyle. It’s much easier to navigate around places like city grocery stores with tiny aisles and the bus, and I was able to use it with ride shares as well (although I know use Uber car seat option now). I don’t think it is that heavy but I don’t know what to compare it to. Yes it’s a bit of a physical feat lifting it into some vehicles but I usually collapse it right by the car. Also, I AM five feet tall so the height is a plus for me. I have an UppaBaby Vista that was handed down to me. I have been using it more for long walks and excursions as my son as gotten bigger. I find it much harder to handle and it feels huge. So I am all in on the Dooma but it’s largely a lifestyle fit. Edit; and I traveled with it when he was 8 months old. Amazing in the airport and ideal because I was also renting a car at the location. But probably there are cheaper options if that’s the main draw unless you travel constantly.
r/NewParents • Has anyone tried the Doona car seat/stroller? Is it really worth the hype? ->No, that thing is a monster. Add a kid, and you have like 40 lbs to carry with one arm twisted. It's also more manual than you'd hope. Lasts a year max if you don't have a large bebe. But! If your back is 100% super duper and you're incredibly fit and under 5'2"ish, it works great!
r/NewParents • Has anyone tried the Doona car seat/stroller? Is it really worth the hype? ->I LOVED it. We live in a very dense city and didn’t have a car when my son was small. It was awesome for navigating tight spaces and for use on public transportation and Ubers. I wouldn’t recommend it for a more suburban lifestyle.
r/NewParents • Has anyone tried the Doona car seat/stroller? Is it really worth the hype? ->I have one and I love it. I don’t find it too heavy, but I imagine all of that is very individual. I also bought mine secondhand and paid less than half price, so that may color my perception!
r/NewParents • Has anyone tried the Doona car seat/stroller? Is it really worth the hype? ->Absolutely love ours. I love it because you don’t have to transfer them from a car seat to a stroller if they’re sleeping. Just makes like so much easier. I wouldn’t say it’s the best stroller but for short distances it’s great.
r/NewParents • Has anyone tried the Doona car seat/stroller? Is it really worth the hype? ->I am 5’6” and primarily used it. Partner is away for work a lot so I had lots of solo errand running w baby. I LOVED it. She is 14mo and we still use it but I finally just got a seat that will transition w her for many more years. Now we use the Doona in my partner’s car. He loves it too.
r/NewParents • Has anyone tried the Doona car seat/stroller? Is it really worth the hype? ->Same! We used it as a stroller for around the block. Used it to run errands and for all those doctor visits in the first year. Brought it on a plane to NYC and on the subways. I honestly loved it and loved not having to take my kid out of the car seat and put them into something else if we were going somewhere.
r/NewParents • Has anyone tried the Doona car seat/stroller? Is it really worth the hype? ->We use one for travel only. It is indeed super heavy like many have pointed out. But very convenient to fold, make into car seat to take cabs, take to restaurants as it is more compact than traditional strollers. We do use a traditional stroller and car seat when not traveling out of our home
r/NewParents • Has anyone tried the Doona car seat/stroller? Is it really worth the hype? ->It’s great for travel! Yes, it’s heavy and short, but the convenience of not having to bring a car seat and stroller separately is so nice. Will be sad when my baby outgrows it. Definitely not good as a main stroller though.
r/NewParents • Has anyone tried the Doona car seat/stroller? Is it really worth the hype? ->Absolutely for me it is worth the convenience to pop it out and stroll around, and fold it up into my car or a booth at a restaurant. For the people who complain it is heavy, I will carry my baby if there is something I cannot stroll around for. An example, my friend lives in a 2nd floor apartment. For that I left the car seat in the car, and just carried my baby upstairs. There is really no other times the doona can't stroll with me everywhere. I will say that it does not roll on gravel or grass and for that you'd need to carry as well. I am a C-section mama and without the doona I could not have been able to do stuff. There is no way I could carry my baby in a normal carrier bc that's such a bulky thing on my arms. Whereas if I need to carry the baby on me she is tucked in wrapped close to my body in a natural position, not in big bulky carrier.
