Nuna - TRIV lx

We have the Triv (Triv next wasn't out yet) and part of the reason we picked it was the collapsed size - our entryway is not that big, we're folding and lifting to store every time. Take measurements of where you're going to store it and compare it to the collapsed size.

We also did the Triv as a compromise and wound up buying the Joolz Aer for travel. I couldn’t run errands with the Aer’s basket so if we only had one it would be the Triv.

Yeah, the bassinet is pretty far in my rearview at this point...we didn't get the Aer until baby was almost a year old and there weren't any stores in my neighborhood (Forest Hills) I had trouble navigating with the Triv that I could have taken the Aer in instead - stuff like a 6 foot wide cookie shop wasn't happening no matter the stroller, that's a babywear only or send one parent in moment. We also used the rear-facing option on the triv til baby was like 11 months old, but I think that's one of those "what personality is your baby" things that you can never guess in advance. The bassinet era was when little guy was so small, I was prioritizing outside spaces due to concerns about picking up colds etc. I had a colleague at work who lives in midtown and had the Aer bassinet and lived in a walkup and loved it so you may could do bassinet with either. The Aer is narrower but I feel like the triv pivots better? I don't find myself in teeny stores very often these days. I've pushed both around a lot of museums and reached for the Triv to go to MoMA yesterday for the sake of steering. If the restaurant is truly small, I just fold the stroller outside the door. I will say the Aer stands on it's own easier when folded. Our local wee sushi joint we can fit the Triv between two tables as little guy's seat but smaller would be even easier.

I took lots of Ubers and just used a travel system that was light and offered latch or European belt path installation. I just had to pop the stroller part in the trunk after a one-hand fold. Still in that same stroller with a toddler seat at 20 months and still loving it. 

I did the Nuna Urbn and Triv combo.

If you're in the burbs you're buying a travel system that clicks into an installed car seat base, and you're going to buy an extra base for every vehicle you own. 

Got the Nuna Triv next because it was supposed to be lightweight without compromising features. I hated it. Hate the fold. Hate that it doesn’t stay folded/flops open all the time. Hate the stupid buckles that always get twisted. It was heavy/bulky to me. Getting it in and out of my car just pissed me off. Got the butterfly 2 and am so much happier. Is it as smooth as ride as the triv? Nope but my baby could not care less. If you value easy, one handed fold and a lightweight, well-thought out design (the buckles are so much easier!) get the butterfly.

I’m in the same boat!! I just went to look at some today. My brother is giving us their lightly used Graco car seat with a basic click in stroller for quick newborn outings, so I feel better splurging on a nicer stroller for long term as long as it will be versatile. We don’t have a garage or anywhere to store it in our house so I want something that folds very compact. I also want it to have parent facing and world facing options, which limits a lot of the smaller travel type strollers. I’m looking at the Nuna Triv, Nuna Swiv, and Joolz Hub 2 primarily. I was able to go look at the Nunas today along with the Maxi Cosi Tayla, Uppababy Cruz, and Cybex Balios/Melos. They had bugaboo there too but those are more than I’m wanting to spend and the Fox is bigger than I’m wanting anyway. The Nunas weight, folding mechanism, and folded size were FAR superior than any others and I am heavily leaning that direction. It was just so smooth and easy and compact on both of them. The Mixx was gigantic to me and the folded package was cumbersome to deal with. Unfortunately I haven’t been able to find anywhere with Joolz Hub2, but it looks very similar to the Triv and reviews say it’s more durable. The Swiv was ever so slightly bigger than the Triv but felt a little sturdier and less like a travel stroller, and I don’t feel like the extra 1-2 lbs was that big of a deal compared to the trade off you get for more storage basket space and what feels like more durability. However the Triv has more suspension and better wheels for all terrain, so I’m torn on that. The only hesitation I have with Nuna is the way the lady at the store talked about them. She said she herself would never buy one because they aren’t made as well as others of the same price point and the warranty is crap (2 years but limited to things that probably wouldn’t break anyway). She was really pushing the Cybex models but they just didn’t have the same smooth and compact fold and I didn’t like the buckles and seat material as much as the Nunas (the magnetic buckle was awesome). The Joolz Hub2 has a 10 year warranty and it has a toddler ride on board you can attach later on which makes it more versatile than the Nunas in my eyes. Not looking to get a double but having a little bit of flexibility with another kid when making such an expensive purchase feels nice. I just wish I could get my hands on it to compare! I’m almost leaning Joolz just due to the warranty and supposed durability. There’s just not as much info out there about them from people who have bought them. I went to Nordstrom, a local baby store, and Pottery Barn kids, which could be an option where you live! I’m also looking into the bassinet options with the Nuna and Joolz and that’s getting me stuck (nuna is expensive and Joolz doesn’t have a stand to use at home) so I might just opt out of using these strollers with a tiny newborn and just baby wear/use the car seat click on stroller when needed. I think past 4-6 months old these will have a lot of longevity so trying to think long term and not get a bunch of accessories I don’t need. Sorry for the info dump but tried to be detailed since you can’t see them in person!

Travel strollers aren’t very useful for daily walks etc and have been known to tip over if not on the correct terrain.  As a travel strollers get the bugaboo butterfly or Joolz aer+  If you want a lightweight all rounder the best would be the cybex balios or nuna triv 

Is your lab a good walker? Mine is NOT. He’s reactive af. I love my Nuna triv stroller and Nuna Pipa car seat so much, but for walking my lab, hell no. I really don’t walk him and my children solo because he’s too hard to manage, but I’d get a jogging stroller if I did. I walked him and my 3yo recently and it was really hard to steer my triv one handed and the wheels would kind of catch trying to get it back on course. It’s not the best for uneven terrain

We have a nuna triv and plan on using it as our primary stroller. We also have a silver cross reef for big/long walks in our neighborhood & uppababy minu for travel. I think the triv is big enough for daily/regular use but it’s light enough that I can carry it & it doesn’t feel super heavy. We got it as an unexpected gift from a friend, so we already had the other two prior 💀 otherwise I think we could’ve been ok with just the triv! The only thing I dislike about it is that the baby feels like they’re kinda low to the ground. With the nuna mixx and silver cross the seat is a big higher but idk if that’s a deal breaker for everyone or just me lol.

I got the nuna pipa Aire and the nuna triv. I know I didn't need it but I wanted it. Its so light, I can manage getting it out of the garage and into the car with one hand. It looks so chic and also I'm OAD. Might as well get what I want then resell when I'm done

I got the nuna pipa car seat and nuna triv because it was 6lbs lighter than the uppa Cruz. I’ve only been using it for a few weeks and my only complaint is the under storage only loads from the front which can be annoying. We live in a walkable city so having a bigger under storage would have been nice

The Triv is amazing, works in every setting, and it’s perfect for NYC

The new Joolz Aer2 has a full recline. Do you technically need a bassinet if it has a full recline and you are confident strapping the baby in? I think the nice thing about the Nuna Triv/Swiv is that the Lytl Bassinet comes with a stand. So you also get a portable travel and secondary bassinet. That is great for setting up a bassinet in a living room or office while one parent stays up with baby and the other parent gets protected sleep in the bedroom. However it's now a $500 retail, but i'm pretty sure you can buy on facebook market place and plan on selling it later to recoup most of the cost.

General consensus is Joolz Aer usurped the yoyo for best lightweight travel stroller that fits in an airplane overhead. Swiv and triv are like light and easy to fold versions of the uppababy cruz. Triv/swiv allow the chair to face backwards towards a part which some people like during the transition out of the bassinet. Other parents don't care going straight to forward facing seats. The new joolz aer has a full recline which means you might be able skip buying a bassinet attachment if you feel comfortable strapping in the newborn. It seems like the hive mind 5 years ago was either yoyo or uppababy cruz. But these days it's definitely joolz aer, but a toss up between uppababy or nuna for the cruz/triv/swiv form factor. Cruz is harder to fold and bigger folded, but more durable. Triv/swiv is smaller folder, lighter, and has a one handed fold at the cost of durability. If you have an elevator building and storage space uppababy seems nice.... But if you need to carry a stroller up stairs in a walk up brownstone the lightweight nuna strollers might be a better option. I have both a swiv and aer+. I like having both for different types of outings. But probably should have gotten a used joolz aer to save money as a travel beater stroller.
