We got the Tavo for the slightly bigger basket/size and it’s perfect! Handles all kinds of terrain well - gravel, dirt, sidewalk, grass. It can be made into a bassinet which we utilized quite a bit on a trip at 4 months. Worked perfectly. She still loves it at 18 months!
My parents have a Graco for their car and we have a Nuna in my husband’s car! We love both equally! The Nuna is “nicer” and if non-toxic materials are important to you, go with the Nuna. We have the Tavo stroller as well and the seat reclines fully and the footrest folds up to create a bassinet. We have never used a Graco stroller, but love our Nuna stroller! Getting ready for our second and we once again are going to be using the Nuna infant seat and purchasing a Rava when the time comes.
We have the nuna tavo. It’s so smooth, closes and opens with one hand and it’s big and roomy for LO. The seat reclines all the way back and can basically become a bed which is great for when we’re out during nap time.
We have a Cybex Gazelle because we know we want a second!! I did a lot of research comparing strollers and I feel that Cybex Gazelle is the best single-to-double for our needs. We also bought a Nuna Tavo for travel from Facebook Marketplace for $150, which his car seat can snap into, and we take it to the airport with us and gate check it. We’re not super concerned about it because it was used, but it’s a great stroller!
Also I don’t know about the TRVL, but the strollers we got is the Tavo, which I guess is full size but doesn’t have a removable seat (which is nice because once you get to your location, you can just leave the car seat in the hotel and use the stroller as a stroller.) The Graco SnugRide clips right into it, and it’s $119 on Amazon right now.
I referred to this comparison chart before buying. https://usasupport.nunababy.com/hc/en-us/articles/360056628792-Nuna-Stroller-Comparison
I also watched lots of reviews on YouTube, they are super helpful!
Keep in mind that due to getting hot and lack of recline the newborn shouldn't stay in car seat for more than 2 hours (you either use the bassinet or you buckle the baby in the stroller seat in flat position). As someone mentioned, tavo does not support the bassinet.
Also, I dont know if its a big matter, but the size of wheels might be important because strollers with smaller wheels (like Tavo model) are very challenging on any terrain other than smooth asphalt/concrete.
Chosing a stroller is very hard if you dont get to see them all in person, but i hope you and your baby are happy with your final decision.
The seat doesn’t come off or rotate to
parent-facing, and the front wheels I believe were plastic instead of rubber (not sure if they still are). Parent-facing is really about personal preference… I liked it but it’s not a must have.
Sometimes I wished I had a stroller like this where I could have both the seat and the car seat at the same time (for the extra canopy coverage and convenience of not having to carry the stroller seat separately).
I would say also look at the Nuna TRVL LX if you’re interested in the Tavo!

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