We also have a swiv and my only gripe is that it is a bit low and you have to bend a bit to pick baby up. Are there any recommendations for height adaptors?
I guess because I’m short (157cm/5’2) so compared to uppababy where I didn’t have to stoop much I couldn’t feel it with the nuna!
Otherwise looking forward to using the nuna swiv I’m sure the 360 will come in very handy
We went with the swiv and pippa rx. But will be also buying a bassinet. We do not plan on getting a different stroller.
We decided not to go w the vista bc of how heavy and big it was, and space was our concern. But also, the ability to move to a double is nice but our mom friends said it wasn’t an ideal double based on what they need.
We decided to optimize for this bebe. We are traveling when she is two months and it seems like a lot to bring everything to the airport (carseat and stroller). We thought, man a doona would have been nice for travel, but not enough to fret about it further.
I have the Swiv and Pipa Aire RX and love it! Have only used it once on a walk with the LYTL bassinet but it was great. Smooth, easy to push, easy to fold. Love that the car seat clips right in. I’ve been very impressed with the Nuna products we own, unfortunately can’t comment on the Uppababy other than when we were at Nordstrom testing out strollers, a woman came up to me and advised us NOT to buy the Uppababy because it was terrible and cumbersome. 😅
It is overwhelming and I hate to say that there’s no universal answer, it will depend on your lifestyle and personal preference. If available to you, I’d recommend going to a local shop and talking to the sales reps as they can explain the different options.
I went with the nuna pipa aire car seat + swiv stroller. A few things we considered:
- we’re not decided on going for a second kid anytime soon so we didn’t pick a stroller that could hold more than one kid
- I walk around the city a lot so I wanted a stroller that wasn’t too bulky andthat moved around smoothly
- I wanted a car seat and stroller that I could easily carry in and out of the car by myself (some of these things can be very heavy and bulky)
- I wanted an option that was easy and intuitive to assemble as I would hate to be fumbling around trying to figure out how to open the stroller with baby crying his heart out
We tested them all out this weekend and went with the swiv! Essentially paying for the triv but with 360 wheels which will be good for us in a city and tight spaces (plus comes with a few extra accessories). It felt much lighter and less bulky than the Mixx to us and we both have sedans so we needed something that I can easily pop into our trunks. We were also thinking of my mom who will watch baby and what she’d be able to easily lift and use.
I love our swiv but the 360 wheels are only useful in our living situation. We have a long and narrow condo with a winding lobby, small elevator, and small landing that we share with one other unit. The wheels unlocking have come in so handy getting around corners and moving in and out of n the building. 100% worth it in that regard. We also like the way the handle "raises". It changes position vs telescoping outwards and I find it easier to hold.
If we lived in less tight space, I dont think the 360 would be more than "nice to have". The major downside is the wheels are smaller, so it doesn't have the same suspension on rough sidewalks that some others have.
I live in a big city and we have some real messed up sidewalks and snow/ice obstacles. It's gotten through ok but I highly advise getting the bassinet for when baby is little. I dont think the stroller seat that comes with is safe for a baby with no neck control if you have any amount of bumpiness. Unfortunately that's another $500 unless you can find it secondhand.
Otherwise we kind of have to pop a wheelie on the back wheels when there's a huge bump or come in backwards, but it kind of becomes second nature after a while!
The nuna swiv has a handle that 'bends' uowards instead of telescoping out. My husband is 6'1" so not insanely tall but he found that to be the most comfortable of all the stroller handles we tried

Travel-friendly, city-nimble, but tiny storage and struggles off-pavement.
