Nuna - trvl™ lx + pipa™ urbn travel system

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.

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 tried out the Nuna TRVL LX and the folding mechanism is excellent and it’s very light. We ultimately went with a slightly more full featured Nuna model for our daily stroller, but the TRVL LX would be amazing for travel. In addition to Albee Baby, the Nordstrom flagship near Columbus circle also has all the models out to test drive!

We got the Nuna aire + trvl lx for $900, but if you get at Nordstrom or Bloomingdale’s and buy through Rakuten you can save quite a bit of $. Both are light and easy to fold and load in the car!

True —I just got the trvl lx and I really like it. It does basically lay flat. It’s not SUPER lightweight and is a little bit bigger than the trvl but the wheels are great on more uneven sidewalks. I got it as a second stroller to my yoyo which is a true travel stroller. It is a bit heavier and bigger than your standard travel stroller, but way lighter than the Cruz.

I like our nuna trvl lx and I think for your needs you’d be happy with it. It doesn’t fold as tiny as the yoyo, but it’s got a sturdier feel and better suspension.

I got the basic Skip Hop backpack style that you see everywhere. Works great so far, holds a lot. Infant car seat and stroller was also really hard for us to decide. We live in a suburban area, no plans to go running or off roading with our stroller haha. We got the Nuna TRVL LX and Nuna Pipa Air car seat. You can snap the car seat into the stroller, and the stroller goes almost flat so we used it for walks starting around 1 month old. Both stroller and car seat are incredibly light weight and easy to manage, 10/10 recommend. Unfortunately not at the point of convertible car seat yet but looking into Evenflo revolve and Cybex Callisto

I have the Triv Next. It’s nice. But if you’re going to have to carry it to the 2nd floor. Id get something that is lighter and folds easier. Have you considered Nuna TRVL LX?

We got the Nuna Travel LX with the urbn infant car seat and love it. Zero regrets. It was one of the lightest strollers we demo’d and easiest to fold, pack away. I constantly take babe around town, on walks, or drive her out and about and it’s been very easy and freeing. We also traveled with it (babe is now 4.5 months) and having a car seat that easily latches in without having to also bring a base is GREAT. The stroller also came with a travel bag which was nice and the price has decreased a lot since when we bought it. I’ve heard Grace came out either something very similar to what we have for way less so worth checking out. We thought about getting the Doona but when we tried it, it was way too heavy for me to think about lifting pp and it’s also a very low stroller so you really got bend over/doen to put babe in and out. Have also heard good things about the bugaboo butterfly if you want something lightweight and travel friendly.
