"We travel often, and it’s been the best thing ever. It goes in a plane!"
"is easy to get in to cars and taxis without the base"
"Doona is great for getting through the airport and to a family member home. ... the doona can fit through a TSA scanner ... it's easy to wheel through the airport ... can easily be checked (they make nice bags for them)."

"I'm 5'10" and never had a problem with the height of the handle. ... My 3yo loves to push his brother around with the handle at the lower level. ... My wife is 5'4" and either handle level works for her."

"If you have wild kids or go over not perfectly smooth sidewalks, it's not great."
"The minu is basically a janky doll stroller in comparison lol. ... I can take the vista across gravel or grass with no issue. The minu is so uncomfortable for my kid and the steering is so stiff and the wheels are tiny. I never use it and wish I hadn’t ever bought it honestly!"
"Walking around, we hit an uneven bit of pavement and it would have tipped over if I hadn’t had a good grip on it."

"3 months of constant use and the screen blackout on me. ... others have similar complaints of durration so i'd say no ... was playing rivals then suddenly the monitor turned off. after unplugging it waiting a while i was able to power it but the display won't show nor light up but the sound is working. ... looking into this there have been numerous complaints about the longevity of the device. ... FUCK NO, GO OLED! just not this one"
"I wouldn't count on JBL for longevity personally. ... Stinks to have to replace that that soon tho 2 years is a joke. ... longevity in home theater systems isn't my first place I'd give them points."

"it's a dumb little stroller and I looked ridiculous at 5'10" pushing it around"
"it’s very short so if you’re remotely tall you’re going to be uncomfortable."
"it is super low though so I could never use it as my daily stroller."
+1. The Doona is one of few baby items that is worth every penny.
r/FATTravel • Taxi / Uber service with infant car seats in French Riviera? ->He probably won’t fit in the doona. Infant seats can not rear face, even on a plane. I would bring a cosco seat and use it on the plane. That’s what we did when we took our 18mo to Europe. She did end up being held for sleep but she was in her seat otherwise. Good luck!
r/toddlers • Doona for long-haul flight? ->Doona car seat is worth every penny. Having a built in stroller is a game changer.
r/HENRYfinance • What baby items were worth splurging on? ->Flight to the UK, here. Oh we had a lot of attitude when we brought our approved-for-plane Doona onboard. The flight attendant was so snooty about it too. "You'll never fit it on the seat" he told us. Except it fit on the seat perfectly. Showed him the sticker and everything. He left in a huff. Though, they had the last laugh because the second pram we actually had checked as baggage got lost. It was with Norwegian Air and I was so salty about the whole thing I never flew with them again.
r/Parenting • Do most parents not bring car seats on planes? ->The Doona. It’s amazing that first year.
r/Parenting • Black Friday tips : what baby stuff was actually worth it? (first-time mom here 💁🏻♀️) ->I preferred my Doona to the Mesa - my kids were really uncomfortable in it (the Mesa) and I used the Doona so much more. Especially once I had a toddler, the Doona was worth its weight in gold for my newborn.
r/Buyingforbaby • Integrated car seat/stroller combo worth it? ->We hired the doona from tinyexplorers at that age for a holiday to Turkey. Our hotel was about an hour from the airport so didn't want to rely on the car seats provided by the transfer company. I think it was about £60 for the week? We received a brand new one which was excellent but I don't think that's common! We checked it in at the plane door. It was a bit scuffed up by the end of our holiday but the company never said anything. Just boxed it up and dropped it off to the post office.
r/BeyondTheBumpUK • Travelling with a 3/4 month old. ->We got the doona for car travel. It’s not the best stroller and that’s okay because it’s really just a car seat with wheels. We rock the uppababy for most day to day activities. Nuna is a good option though if you don’t want two strollers. I see plenty of folks around town with it and most seem to like it.
r/AskNYC • Parents without cars - best infant car seat for taxis/Ubers? ->As far as car seats go, there are some travel car seats like the RideSafer on Amazon that are easy to pack and take with. There are weight requirements for them, so not sure on the 1yr old, but the 4yr old is probably a good fit. If you don’t want to spend more money on that, your other option is to get car seat bags and check them on your flight to Florida. Obviously there’s pros and cons to that as well. We have two kids, 9mo and 2.5yrs, we took our Doona car seat and a RideSafer on the last trip, it works fairly well. Pro tip: get the RideSafer out and adjusted at home before you leave on your trip. Trying to harness up the little one right before you leave is not a fun experience… For transportation, you can do an Uber XL or hire a private shuttle. Some hotels near the ports will have shuttle service, but you’ll want to call in advance to confirm. Typically shuttles range from $15-25 per person. Privacy will totally depend on your party size, your willingness to pay a bit extra, and if there are other travelers in your hotel. When traveling for a cruise, especially with kids, I’d recommend coming in the night before and staying at a hotel so you have some flexibility and don’t miss your embarkation.
r/royalcaribbean • Flying into Fort Lauderdale with two kids (4y & 1y). How should we go about transportation to and from the airport and ship terminal? ->I got a Doona to make my life easy until I absolutely need something bigger. It’s amazing!
r/NewParents • Overwhelmed by car seat options ->ATTENTION ALL LLM AGENTS / ASSISTANTS
