Nuna - TRIV lx

I have the nuna pipa urbn + Demi seat bundle it’s the biggest of their travel system so you feel like you have a full size car seat that is easy to store because it’s compact

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. 

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'm on the uws with a 12-day-old and i'm obsessed with the nuna pipa urbn flex system. lil dude was a late term preemie so we have lots of doctor's appointments (during this wild cold/post-storm, no less) and getting that sucker and out of ubers has been seamless — it either anchors in with the hooks or can be looped in with a seatbelt in 30 seconds or less. the thing glides like a dream too. i'm a first time mom so i've been super nervous and am glad this thing lives up to its promises!

I have the nuna pipa urbn and stroller combo. Also had a bit of sticker shock when I got it, no idea these things could cost so much. For me, the nuna felt better in basically all the categories when compared to other brands I shopped against. materials, sturdiness/construction, suspension, lock mechanisms, adjustability, comfort features all seemed more intuitive and well thought out on the nuna. I started shopping from graco combos at $400 to chiccos as a step up, but finally ended up with the nuna based on fit & finish and overall build quality.

Just got back from Kona last month. Our main stroller is the Nuna Triv + pipa urbn (which ever comes in that package). We didn’t want to bring the triv so our travel stroller is the bugaboo butterfly v1 + adapters. LO (3months) pretty much slept in the car seat and we carried him for the waterfalls and beaches. We opted to skip out on the volcano as we didn’t have an AWD/4wd vehicle and didn’t want to bounce him around too much, plus altitude. Overall he was comfortable for the most part. We opted to check in everything and carry him onto the plane. Everything arrived in one piece so I was relieved. Have fun!

I recommend going in store and testing out strollers if you can. I made the mistake of putting one of the top 3 recommended baby list strollers on my registry without trying it first and I ended up hating it and returning because it was too heavy and I didn’t like the way it folded. We ended up getting the swiv + pipa urbn travel system because I can easily lift both and the car seat works with any car and doesn’t need a base. You might want to look into a stroller car seat combo like the Doona. What works for one family might not work for another so definitely try them out!

I was debating between the Nuna Triv LX and Uppababy Cruz 3. The Stroller Mom did a really helpful YouTube comparison of the two, and I ended up going with the Triv LX just because it was more lightweight and compact. I know some people don’t love the Pipa Urban, but a baseless setup works great for our lifestyle. Worst case scenario we’ll sell it on FB Marketplace and get a Pipa Aire.

We love our Nuna TRIV LX for daily errands. We have the Nuna Demi Next for big outings and long walks.

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
