Doona - Doona i

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.

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.

Wife and I had a “stroller off,” and I wanted the Doona, and she wanted to get a uppababy whole shebangabang… So we bought both. Uppababy Bassinet on wheels was great with a newborn/infant… but once baby grew out of bassinet/didn’t care for it, we basically use nothing else but the doona… If I were to do it solo, I’d have been perfectly happy with the Doona… she still thinks we really benefited from the bassinet part of the uppa… but I don’t think so… it was a silly pointless luxury. Anyways… food for thought.

It is the perfect stroller. We travel often, and it’s been the best thing ever. It’s a stroller! It’s a car seat! It goes in a plane!

For infants the Doona is awesome and the fully functional car-seat into stroller is such a game-changer for travel. Also - if you’re on a budget or just looking for value in general, I love the $60 Cosco Scenera Next car seat. We bought it for our toddler as our “travel” car seat because our expensive fancy Nuna Rava weighs like 10x as much and stays permanently in our car, and its more comfortable for her, easier to install for me, and super lightweight. Whatever you get, strongly recommend practicing install on a friend/family member’s car for a bit until you’ve got it down pat to alleviate any stress when you need to actually travel with the kiddo.

The Vista is great--I definitely wouldn't travel with it, though. I was a serious Doona hater until my baby was about 4 months old and we started to travel with him, and it was SO worth it. All the complaints are valid (it's a dumb little stroller and I looked ridiculous at 5'10" pushing it around; it's not the lightest-weight option; they grow out of it in a year) but ultimately were unimportant, because I simply would not have taken all the trips I took, especially alone, if I'd had to deal with more complicated gear. If your daily driver is a travel stroller, anytime you want to actually travel anywhere with it you've got to get the carseat out, get all the crap out of the storage basket, fold the stupid stroller, install the stupid carseat, get yourself into the car, then do it all again in reverse when you get out--and that's not adequately describing the emotional stress you feel as a new mom leaving your baby in the backseat of a taxi while you go put the stroller in the trunk. With the Doona, because there's no storage, I had all our stuff in a backpack, and just had to fold it down and lift it in to install, and I never had to be away from the baby for even a second. I know that sounds like a small thing, but it's not when you're a new parent. If you're traveling together it's less of an issue, but there were so many little trips to museums farther uptown or to the beach in the summer that I just wouldn't have taken otherwise. It made the first year so much more fun.

I have a Doona, baby has already outgrown it. The evenflo stroller carseats look badass though.

We loved our Doona and are using it for #2 now! Our first got to 19 months before they outgrew it (small kid lol).

We loved our Doona! Our LO was on the smaller side so we were able to use it until they were 19 months. We are using it for #2 now. FYI the weight/height limit is 30lb or 32 inches or if there is less than 1 inch of space between the top of their head and the car seat shell, whichever limit they reach first.  Also to note, don’t get any knockoff car seats. There are another legitimate brands that make a car seat/stroller, in the USA there is the Evenflo Shyft DualRide which is cheaper than the Doona.  https://www.safeintheseat.com is a great resource and they even have a car seat finder! 

The doona is great if your child is still pretty young. Once they are used to an outward facing stroller it kind of annoys them. Or at least that was my experience

It has a bag that attaches easily. You just put the doona bag under the seat in front of you during the flight

I’d say the snoo, but my baby didn’t give a shit about it. Doona has been clutch. Downside is you can’t use it after a year since it isn’t convertible to a bigger car seat

I had a second hand Doona and I hated it. My main gripe about it was the heaviness of the carseat plus the weight of baby. If you don't have alot of arm strength I would not recommend getting it. I have a son's convertible carseat and it's so much more practical. I have a separate stroller with a bassinet but most of the time I baby wear if we're going to the store.

It also depends how large your baby is and how fast they'll grow. Mine was born 7lbs 3 oz and by 2 months he was 15lbs. we got rid of the Doona after 3 weeks.

We have the nuna and I don’t feel like it’s heavy at all. I’m dad so maybe that’s why but it’s super super light compared to my brothers Doona. Also, my nephew who is 30th percentile has already grown out of his Doona at 1. Plus the tires on the Doona are tiny. And plastic. I routinely run over large rocks/curbs/anything I wasn’t with our nuna and my 11 month old loves it.

No man that thing weighs more than my son. My SIL is tiny. Like 4-11, 100lbs and the only way she gets that beast out of my brothers truck is basically just chucking it. Plus, those wheels just aren’t made as well as the Nunas. All my friends have children and of all of our car seat/stroller systems I can confidently say the Nuna is the best I’ve seen. By a wide margin Edit: my 11 month old is also gonna fit in the Nuna for a long time still. He’s almost too big for my nephews Doona already

Nuna pipa + nuna trvl I don’t get the love for the doona. it’s very short so if you’re remotely tall you’re going to be uncomfortable. And it’s significantly heavier than other car seats so something to consider when swinging in the back seat of a cab

It’s very pricey but the Doona sounds perfect for you. It’s great for walking then you can just fold it down into the car seat if you need it. It’s compact which would be great for public transport. There are some knockoffs or dupes for it I’m sure.

Second the doona. That sounds perfect for the lifestyle you’re describing!

I have a Doona that I use for right now and I used it on a recent trip with my baby, I wore him in the airports and out and about and threw my bag into the stroller. when I was with my parents I just left it in the car

we use it as the main car seat and we also have another one for when he’s a bit bigger, but I reallllly love the Doona cause it’s just so easy haha

Doona car seat is worth every penny. Having a built in stroller is a game changer.

Had it, LOVED IT, so sad when my kiddo grew out of it! 10/10 would recommend.

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.

I loved mine. My son maxed out at 10 months for height and it was a hard switch. The Doona spoiled me. It makes...frankly everything easier. Shopping, walking to and from the car, errands, short walks. It was especially great postpartum. It's a little heavier than a normal bucket seat but you only have to lift it in and out of the car. I don't think I would have been able to do half the things I did without it. It was especially great for me because I have a heart condition that gets triggered by carrying heavy things around. Also good as a single mom living near a questionable neighborhood (my apartments are fine but a block over isn't). We always get home in the dark in the winter and I was able to just pop the wheels and hurry through the parking lot to my apartment I don't think it would be good for anyone who has to walk up a lot of stairs though. If you go on long walks or on a lot of uneven ground, you would need a normal stroller which might make the Doona unnecessary The handle comes up pretty far. It extends, so you might have only seen it on the lower setting. I'm 5'6 and had no problems. My sister is 5'4 and kept hers on the lower setting

I have and love my Doona but it’s really only for car/plane/cab/and quick errands. Great for running to the pediatrician or the bank. Terrible for going on walks etc. It’s a pretty rough ride over anything but very smooth pavement, and has a fairly short handle for pushing. If you’re not even planning to use it as a plane seat I definitely wouldn’t spend the money. ETA it can barely handle the grass in my front yard, it will definitely be a rough go in snow and mud. If you’re used to a real stroller I think you’ll hate it.

I love mine, loved not having to carry something around. The biggest criticism I think is that because you’re not taking baby in and out of a seat you may be more likely to leave your baby in there for too long. I did use mine as a stroller when baby was little. We switched to a convertible seat when before he outgrew the doona just because It’s not as comfortable.

Another doona user We have a doona specifically for travel and as a backup/spare. We have a Chicco keyfit 35 as our main car seat Doona is great for getting through the airport and to a family member home. We still generally baby carry most of the time but the doona can fit through a TSA scanner, it's easy to wheel through the airport, and can easily be checked (they make nice bags for them). It can also be secured without a base (with just a seatbelt) so we can easily get it secured in a relative's car, Uber, or rental without needing to worry about exactly what car is showing up We got ours for around $300 with a base locally with a 2028 expiration date and plan to resell for $200 once our baby outgrows it

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.

Absolutely love our Doona

Yes! We have the doona car seat stroller. It’s amazing. However, she’ll be too big for it by the time we travel internationally.

The Doona is amazing at the things it is designed for, and terrible at the things it’s not. We had one and loved it, but it’s not going to be for everyone and isn’t designed to replace a stroller.  If you have no or few steps between your exterior door and your car, and live in a climate that is cold, snowy, or rainy- the doona works really well. You secure the baby inside in the comfort of your home, wheel out, and can have the doona secure and the car moving in well under a minute.  If your destination is firm smooth ground, the doona will work really well. Doctors offices and short trips- perfect.  What the doona is not for: 1. A stroller replacement. The baby positioning is such that the car seat limit applies even when not being used as a car seat. The wheels are great on solid ground but struggle on even packed smooth rock.  2. People with lots of steps to go up or down. The doona is heavy. I could lift it with one arm and baby, my wife struggled with two arms. If we were going somewhere with steps I was lifting.  3. Cost sensitive families. Your baby will outgrow the doona quickly and it isn’t cheap. 

Positional asphyxiation is only an issue in car seats that aren't at the right angle or for kids that aren't strapped in properly. So, like a car seat taken out of the car and placed on the floor or in a shopping cart. Not ones that are clicked into an appropriate stroller or properly installed in a car. All of those incorrect situations allow the possibility of a baby ending up in a chin to chest position that closes off the airway which causes positional asphyxiation. That being said, babies spines are also still developing and aren't supposed to be locked into the same position in a car seat for long periods of time. All that considered still for me makes the Doona not worth it. Plus, it's too short for anyone that's taller than like 5'4" unless you want back pain.

Love our doona! It’s a lifesaver for quick trips in the car to run errands since we have a bigger stroller for day to day (we live in a major city).

I have a Doona and absolutely love it! But I think of it as a car seat with wheels, not a stroller. You'll still need a real stroller, the doona is not great for walks or anything like that. But it is AMAZING as a car seat that I don't have to awkwardly carry places.

If you do a lot of traveling, I think the Doona is worth it. I would never use it on a daily basis at home because it’s very low. But it’s very convenient for the airport and means you avoid bringing both a car seat and separate stroller. However, it is going to be a short-term investment because baby will grow out of it by a year. Then you would probably want a specific travel stroller. So you could consider a travel stroller with a lay-flat option or bassinet attachment now, you’d just also need to bring the car seat. For daily use we went with the Uppababy Vista and love it for our lifestyle. We use it primarily for walks around the neighborhood and nearby trail system, to bring to the park, etc. It is bulky and not as easy to bring in the car. Now that my son is older we actually use our travel stroller (Joolz Aer) a lot if we’re just going to the mall. For infant car seats we chose the Nuna Pipa Rx Lite and I’m so glad we went with a very lightweight option.

We use a Graco snugride 35 with a Baby Jogger city tour 2 and adapters for the car seat. Altogether the system is around $350 if I recall. The car seat can serve the same role as a stroller basinet the first few months until the baby has the head control to sit in the stroller directly. Installing it in a taxi is trivial since it can be secured with a standard seatbelt only. We use the included base when we have a rental car. I'll echo what others said. You'll want something that works with your stroller because carrying the car seat is not practical once you get to your destination. Clipping it into the stroller is a must. I've used the Doona before too. It's an excellent system as well, but the infant will outgrow it faster than a stroller that allows for a car seat adapter.

Doona is great. Didn’t have it with my first, did for our second and it’s a big upgrade.

I live in NY with my high percentile baby. Doona is clutch. I definitely wouldn’t come without a car seat. Carseats have expiration dates so I wouldn’t buy one that’s expired. And of course as others have mentioned, you don’t know where it’s been. I bought my doona secondhand but it was like-new. I trust the person I bought it from but YMMV. Is there anyone you could borrow a doona from? It really is the best option for nyc travel with an infant, Imo.

I just did this with an 8-month-old for a 4-hour flight from San Diego to Nashville and back. EDIT: We did NOT purchase baby their own seat, and held them for the entire flight. Here is what you do: 1. Do NOT haul the stroller and car seat if you have the cash for a combo rental; instead, rent a Stroller/Car Seat combo if you aren't going for too long. I used this option, and it was seamless to put baby inside, carry the baby during the flight and gate check the combo, then get it at the gate and put the baby back in it once landed. This works great through TSA because you get to hold the baby while you walk through the metal detector and then put the baby right back in the stroller/car seat. [https://rents4baby.com/product/doona-stroller-car-seat/](https://rents4baby.com/product/doona-stroller-car-seat/) The legs tuck in underneath, and baby never has to leave it to switch from carseat to stroller mode. So seamless. 2. Pack a single bag for babies that has [toys that stick to the window](https://www.amazon.com/Spinner-Suction-Spinners-Spinning-Toddlers/dp/B0CXSRSTT2/ref=asc_df_B0CXSRSTT2?mcid=8d5606c966bb3850a5b7e13a2518d62d&tag=hyprod-20&linkCode=df0&hvadid=700712048143&hvpos=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=5380929826090823969&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=c&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=9031352&hvtargid=pla-2317859315264&psc=1), and they can play with wipes, snacks, and burp/spit cloths. 3. If you pump, it fits in the overhead compartment pretty easily. Pack a bottle as well, full and ready to go if the baby starts to cry. 4. Flight attendants and other passengers are incredibly sympathetic to your situation; don't be afraid to get up and walk around with the baby. 5. GET THE FIRST ROW OF THE AIRCRAFT. Even if that means upgrading you OR your spouse's boarding position to A 1-15, have the upgraded person board early with bags and snag that front row. It provides leg room and easy access to the overhead bins so you can grab things.

Going on 7 months, it's great! Definitely doesn't have storage, but that hasn't been an issue at all for us. We manage to carry everything we need in our organized diaper bag. This is our first child. If we have another kid, and this carseat expires, we would buy another one with no hesitation.

At two years old - it really depends on the kid. We used a doona until around 2 (\~16 flights with it before 2 when we would fly to our vacation home). But at 2, he didn't want to be confined to a car seat for the entire flight and he wanted to move around. So while everyone here will say yes car seat - at that age, it is very tricky as they want more freedom and aren't potatoes anymore. For a 5 hour flight at 2 years old, I would not do it if it were my kid. Plus my kid never wanted to be pushed around in the stroller in the airport. It depends on the kid. Try strapping them into a car seat for 5 hours and see how long that lasts.

I live in NYC too. We have a car but only use on weekends to go to the country house. I highly recommend Doona and Uppa Baby Vista. Also a yoyo travel stroller. Doona is great for cabs and Ubers because you don’t need the base. It’s also fine for little errands and trips. The uppa baby vista is great. It’s a tank, and annoying on the bus but it can be done!!

Agree with the other posters. You’d still need a regular stroller. The doona is insanely heavy and bulky to live in and out of the car or other places, especially after your baby weighs more. I can’t even lift it safely. It’s really good for short things (dr appts, coffee etc). For long walks we use the stroller because they’re not supposed to be in the car seat so long when they’re little. Depending on the size of your baby it doesn’t last so long. It is definitely not for going on a stroll. There’s no storage and it’s a bit low It also doesn’t make a lot of sense if you’re not gonna be using a car. The point of it is that it’s a car seat that converts to a stroller. If you don’t need a car, I’d just get a regular stroller. I know a lot of people use it for flights, but some say it doesn’t fit through the aisles on some planes so I’m not sure about that

I have the Uppa and love it. My husband and I say all the time that we’d choose it all over again. It’s totally worth the price. We travel a lot too and did receive the Doona for travel. It’s excellent for travel to avoid bringing out hefty stroller and so we just check one piece and not a car seat and stroller base. I agree when another commenter that it is super low though so I could never use it as my daily stroller. They are both excellent for their different uses though!

It's a wonderful convenience item. My husband is 6'5 and while he wishes it were a tad longer in the handle he loves it. I am 5'1 and we bought a huge SUV so by 8.5-9 months getting him in was challenging (more so height than just the weight of it). We still use it for travel and as our second car's car seat. I agree it does not replace a full sized stroller but we used that pretty much exclusively for the first two months of his life and just popped the storage bag you can buy on the back. If you are on the go a lot or travel frequently it's so great. Perk of having a baby later in life: I can and WILL pay for convenience any chance I have.

We got the Donna just for travel and it was great. Highly recommend, it made the airport easy and being able to put our son in the rental car without a base was super convenient. Edit: Forgot to add we checked the doona at the gate, as our son was just sitting on our lap for the flight.

Good points^^^. The doona did fit in the scanner so it was a breeze to get through TSA

I got the doona brand name. I have to admit it has been solid although I still think it is over priced. I am unsure on the warranty but I can’t even imagine anything breaking on it. I’m sure other ones that do the same function are fine as well.

If you want to only buy one product for a little while atleast 8 months for the stroller portion and then 18 months for the car seat. Get the Doona.

We live in Chicago and did extensive research. Was between the Doona and the YoYo. Went in person and ended up with the Nuna which wasn’t even on my radar as an option. We got the Nuna trvl lx with the pipa urbn car seat. Bundle is $950. The biggest thing for me was safety and the ability to handle the stroller in an urban area alone. You press a single button and homie folds up like a dream and isn’t heavy at all. While it was ok… The issue with the Doona was it’s a multi step process and not one you can do alone while holding a baby in one arm. The Nuna stroller is newborn and toddler ready which was a huge plus for us. Car seat easily pops in and is a dream in terms of putting in the car without the need for a base. You can also attach with a seatbelt. Overall very happy with our purchase!! Highly encourage you to look in person to make the best decision.

We have a Doona for travelling/quick trips that involve getting from point A to point B, and an Uppababy Cruz for walks or plans that require baby to be secure for a longer period of time. The Doona is amazingly convenient but at the end of the day it is just a car seat on wheels and you shouldn’t have your newborn in a car seat for more than 2 hours so it’s really not the most comfortable stroller for baby for extended periods. We love the Cruz for that reason - the bassinet extension is perfect for baby and the suspension is really good so it moves very smoothly!

I’m a doona mama about to make the switch to this travel system! I just learned about this but I am intrigued! We love our doona so much but bub is 19lbs and growing at 7.5 months so looking for more practicality and we used a stroller so much with our first. We also have the first revolve seat for our oldest and it’s been amazing. What did you decide?

I love it! We use it so much and it is absolutely worth it. We are for sure using it again with the next baby. However, it is expensive and I can tell our girl is getting bigger for it (she is 60th percentile in weight and 70th percentile in height at 4 months) but I’m still hoping to use it longer. We are moving to Nuna convertible car seat and Nuna stroller after this, and I’m dreading till that day lol 😂 Would love to use the Doona as long as we can, but we will see 😅

I absolutely loved ours. I’m 5’7 and didn’t feel hunched. We baby wore whenever we took long walks instead of a stroller, but tbh the Doona is pretty smooth and worked well for most things. Plus it’s nice to be able to fold it up if we encountered stairs. My lil guy maxed the height at a year and a half. If we ever have another kid, I’m buying it again for sure!

I live in NYC with no car and the doona was a lifesaver for like 7-8 months. Dude would have fit longer but he wanted a more upright seat. I'm 5 8 and it's a little short, but fine. For long walks, I'd recommend something else Oh also brilliant for air travel. Fits in security scanner and seat.

We had the doona and at like 5 months we got the joolz aer. We also had a hand me down city jogger - he likes the stroller a lot!

I love our Doona on trips with the newborn. Easy to pop into random Ubers. For the bigger kids we have two cheap travel car seats that are quite light and fit into a single car seat bag.

super worth it imo! we just got rid of ours sadly as our LO is too big for it now. it made getting in and out of the car so easy, especially when needing to keep baby sleeping im 5’2 and my husband is 6’0 and he pushed it around more than me. never had any issues! we were also able to take it on a trip and loved being able to use it at the airport and it fit perfectly on the plane seat

It worked great for our babies. 3yr gap. The oldest grew out of it by 11mo, the youngest is still in it now at 6mo. It is expensive, but we feel that we definitely got our money's worth out of it especially considering the incredible convenience. 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. A friend made us an elastic cover with pockets and a zipper front window which took care of the shade issue. Other than that we've probably put 100+ miles on this as a stroller between errands, travel, trips to the park, etc. It handles quite well and while we do want more storage space, we make do with a backpack if necessary (like park trips). As far as safety, it feels just as secure (when we tried manually applying hard side and torsional load and the latch feels very strong) as the other convertible car seats that we looked at. Overall I'd recommend it to anyone looking for a convenient and flexible option.

We brought a Doona when traveling with our under 1 year old. Its a car seat that converts to a wheeled stroller in about 2 seconds. We asked the gate attendant prior to flight if there were any free seats to put it next to us on the plane. If they said it was a full flight, we gate checked it. We got to take it with us on the plane about 90% of the time.

We’re in the US and have always brought our car seat into the cabin and buckled baby into it in her own seat. It feels safer to us. We initially just carried our car seat onboard, but recently purchased a Doona, which unfolds into a stroller. It’s been really handy.

If you travel at least a few times a year: Doona, RideSafe vest for toddler age and up, and one of those strollers that fits in the overhead once kid is big enough to sit in one.

I love our doona. Just be aware that kids can grow out of it pretty quickly. Also, unlike lots of strollers, there’s absolutely no storage on it. Shopping trips still require a cart or basket if you want to buy more than one or two small things. The cover is pretty easy to remove and toss into the washing machine as well. Edit: I would not suggest it as your only option. The biggest benefit to me is that I don’t have to load up a stroller into the car wherever we go.

We use the Doona. It's a stroller that collapses into a car seat. We use the stroller around the airport, check it under the plane for the flight, and then we have a car seat and a stroller when we get to our destination! ETA weve had the doona since LO was born, and it really is more of a stroller for a baby rather than toddler. Were still getting good use out of it but may not make sense financially to buy now if your LO is 19 mo. Just thinking out loud, but its what has worked for us!

It’s short, has no storage, is way heavier than a regular car seat and doesn’t last very long.

I would suggest a Doona. It can be a stroller/carrier/carseat it is great for Ubers and public transportation and it has a base for the car. It is compact and easy to maneuver. The only drawback is it can only accommodate up to one year or so usually.

Doona car seat and baby brezza formula maker were top tier.

We have a bugaboo car seat and stroller, but I went overseas with my baby when he was 10-11 months old. I wasn’t going to be hiring a car and would be going from car to car (family/friends’ cars plus Ubers) so the Doona was the perfect solution for us. We didn’t use it on the plane so I can’t speak to that - we just checked it and had the baby on our laps - but it was amazing during our trip, so convenient and quick to get in/out of cars. The handle is low and the wheels are small (so I wouldn’t consider it as my main stroller) and there is no storage (so if you’re like me and hate carrying things you need a bag that hangs off the handle) but it’s such a great solution for a very specific use-case.

I've loved the Doona for travel, but I'm usually visiting my parents who have a separate stroller there. It is great for the airport and folds up to use as your car seat on the plane. I will say that my 19-month-old was not having it this trip on the plane, but we haven't traveled in a few months and I think he just didn't understand what was even going on. He's about to grow out of it but my husband is really attached. We've loved it for our car seat as well. Not looking forward to figuring out the airport with the convertible carseat and travel stroller, though

We love our Doona! I was afraid it would be too short too, but honestly I don't mind it and the convenience is incomparable. My partner and I are a foot apart in height and can both push it with ease. It seems to be of excellent quality and engineering. We take it for long walks and don't have another stroller at the moment. It's not the best on unpaved paths (especially if they're too rocky) but it's not bad. Honestly I think my only critique of the Doona is how heavy it is, but since you mostly push it around it's not a big deal. We have the Doona sunshade cover and bag attachment which are great too.

Going to echo the Doona as mentioned here - it transforms in to a stroller and is easy to get in to cars and taxis without the base, ultra safe, and has a great accessory lineup. We love ours.

I know there are some droolers out there, but modern car seats are incredibly easy to install. It blows my mind that people can’t figure them out. For reference I have a Doona car seat and a baby jogger city turn car seat.

I have a Doona and am obsessed with it. My LO is 15 months now and I’m not looking forward to when she ages out of it height wise. It was the absolute best purchase. We’ve taken it on airplanes since it is rated for that both in a seat and checked. We always take it on vacation because it’s easy to use in other cars without the base, can do the airplanes, and consolidates us into bringing one item instead of separate car seat and stroller. It’s also nice to stroller baby around the airport in. I LOVE how easy it maneuvers and can easily drive it one handed if my other hand is full. It does not do well in nature though - you won’t be bringing it down a trail and you can go through grass but it’s not smooth. It’s a pavement stroller. But when baby falls asleep on the way to the store in the car, it’s so nice to just take it out of the car quietly, slowly pop the wheels out, and stroller them into whatever you need to do asleep. Similarly if they fall asleep in it out- just fold it up quietly and in the car they go without waking. A big reason I liked it too was because I knew I’d be carting my LO around a lot by myself and needed ease. Carrying those baby buckets by hand seemed like an utter nightmare and heavy. This solved that. All attachments I bought through Amazon or Temu - attachable storage, rain guard, bug guard - but I really didn’t use them because it doesn’t fold up with them. We just used a diaper bag and if LO wanted out I’d carry LO and the stroller would carry the diaper bag as I pushed it. Never needed another stroller, this has been it so far. I love this thing and can’t wait to use it on the next kid. I will say, my LO is on the lighter side which does help weight wise as they get bigger and you need to unph this thing in the car. But those really nice strollers weigh a lot too. You’re going to be unphing something either way.

It is really short and kind of small. It really came in handy for traveling but my baby is on the bigger side so he wouldn’t have been able to use it long. We rented it for our trips instead.
