Nuna - TRVL lx

I travel a lot for work & we walk a lot when home so we went for the Nuna trvl LX (it works from birth to ~5, and folds easily and nicely with one hand) and the pipa urbn seat because it adapts for all vehicles. When he outgrows car seat we’ll do the Cosco nxt for travel Edit if helpful: our heights are about same as you two

I did not go with Uppababy because my friend had it and it was huge. I am 5’ 2” and on the go a lot and wanted luxury but not giant. I initially went with the Cybex Priam but it also felt very large lugging in and out of the car by myself. The way it doesn’t technically latch made it awkward to maneuver. We were doing some traveling so I got a Cybex Libelle for the fold but it wasn’t great for under 1 because it didn’t lay flat for nap, so then we tried the Cybex Coya. We took it on to vacation in Hawaii and I LOVED the fold and look, but the seat doesn’t sit fully upright (similar to Bugaboo Butterfly) so my son hated sitting in it. We then bought the Nuna TRVL LX - different than regular TRVL and we love it! It has a one hand fold, decent size basket, nice sturdy bar and lays flat for nap time. I wish I would have purchased this one from the get go for my on the go/trvl stroller since the nuna car seats pop right on it for infants. Given I realized how important size is, if I were to do this all over again… I would have gone with a Nuna Triv OR Cybex Gazelle as my luxury stroller for something with a bassinet and then the TRVL LX for our on the go stroller.

The pipa urbn /Nuna Trvl Lx combo is amazing. I have to walk down a flight of stairs and it works well. I like the Trvl LX because can be used from birth with a near flat recline, super early one hand fold, pretty light, and the wheels and frame are very strong handling not the best streets and sidewalks quite well. While I have a car, there have been times when I needed to take an uber and the urbn was perfect. It just plugs right into the latches. It was so much easier than doing a seat belt install each time. And while it is heavier than our pipa rx, it really wasn’t noticeable like I thought it would be. It felt the same with a 23lb baby in it as the RX. And when he was really little it was great.

Both strollers recline and are newborn compatible. Are you planning on connecting a car seat? One thing to consider is that the Nuna one appears to only be compatible with Nuna car seats, while the Minu is compatible with Uppababy, Nuna, Cybex, Clek and Maxi-Cosi depending which adapter you buy, so much more flexible with car seats The Minu V3 is much smaller when folded and will fit in an airplane (10x18x21.5, ) The nuna is much bigger folded (27x14x21). Similar overall weights - both 15-17 lbs depending on equipment Minu has a much larger basket, which is even more useful if this is a daily use stroller. Minu is meaningfully cheaper - 500 vs 600 in the US, not sure about your country I would buy the Minu

We had a similar debate and got the nuna TRVL LX because it is lay flat and can be used for newborns / from birth. I really liked the uppababy mini v3 but it can’t, and I believe it is starting at 3 months only (newborn capable in the car seat with attachment).

Nuna Travel LX is a lifesaver. So easy to push around and light.

We love the trvl lx!

just spent a month researching. my takeaway: Nuna - loved this one the most (mixx or trvl xl) but all of the carseats/accesories make it extra pricey. my fav uber premium option uppababy- i found these all to be kind of rigid and too large. didn't like the vibe but its obvs popular mockingbird - decided on this one and so far love the balance of quality and price point. truly feels strong but also premium, while not being huge, and almost all the features feel obvious instead of buried silver cross - if you really want to go with the most premium it is indeed very nice. graco Modes nest - solid budget option. felt a little on the light/fragile side for me but if lightweight with versatility is important, this one isn't bad at all bugaboo - maybe the one i tried was a janky floor model but i didn't think it was smooth at all. nuna/mock crushed it

The things that will make your particular day easier is where to splurge!! Ours were strollers and a bottle washer, and no regrets now three months in! Best money we've ever spent. We got a Bumbleride Indie + bassinet attachment. I've nicknamed it the ATV, the tractor, the tank. We live rural on a farmyard, outside for hours everyday, and I've yet to find terrain it can't handle. Just recently added a Nuna Trvl LX on sale at a store closing clearout for quick shops/restaurants and some trips we have planned...also the best thing! Bottle washer is fantastic as a formula family. It was an unplanned splurge the day after we brought baby home. No regrets at all, but if I had connected the dots that we don't run the dishwasher often enough to do bottles, I would have bought one second hand ahead of time. I spent everyday for months on Facebook tracking down other "splurges" secondhand, so while they're pricey items we spent Walmart money on them. Things like a Stokke high chair, Keekaroo Peanut, Baby Bjorn, Lovevery mat. A friend gave me a great price on their Snoo they were done with. Those sorts of things that are durable and easy to clean can be bought for great prices used!! Anything that continues to hold up well will be passed to yet another family to love at a discount, too :)

We took our 5mo to Switzerland and only used the stroller in the airport and it was a PITA. At 11 weeks and 6m, you’re probably going to prefer to babywear. Even at 7.5m. Hope & Plum lark is my go-to, far more comfortable than my Artipoppe. We have the Nuna Trvl LX for regular day to day at home and it’s quite nice. Wheels are big enough to handle more uneven terrain. Does pack small but is a gate check. Because of that, I opted to buy a Doona for our international travel. I swear, their marketing gets first time parents… the thing SUCKS. I hate the Doona. You so much as go over a leaf and you’re in trouble. It’s impractical and so bulky.

We did the Nuna Trvl LX with Nuna Urbn as our combo travel system and it’s been really nice, overall a great purchase and I would recommend. It has the largest wheels and best suspension you’ll find in any travel stroller, quick one hand fold, lightweight. But it is still a gate check at the airport. It’s not perfect, you definitely make compromises with any travel stroller, but I have a tiny trunk and it fits well and has been nice for quick errands. That said - we have a lot of other strollers too for other purposes! - Bob Revolution jogger is our go-to for bumpy terrain and trails, gravel, etc. - I bought the Doona for international travel, we took our 5 month old to Switzerland. She ended up really liking to take walks in it, but I HATED it for regular purposes and quickly sold it because I found it to be a huge PITA. - we also have a very old (cheap FB marketplace purchase) Bugaboo Frog that we got for the bassinet for walks when she was little. It was really nice to have and we did use it quite a bit, but I also babywear a lot for walks when they’re small. I do not think a travel stroller can do it all. I think a travel stroller & jogger is a nice combo, or if you truly only want one stroller, you should probably consider the Cruz or similar.
