"Yup, an absolute game changer. ... We traveled for a month in Europe when our kid was 10 months old and the doona made it SO easy and convenient. ... 10/10 for travel!"
"I bought one for a trip across the country, have used it on the plane and in the cars here. ... it’s perfect for the airport. ... I might have felt more compelled to travel earlier."
"I wasn’t as strong as I am now bc I didn’t start building muscle after we stopped using the doona but I was able to lift the doona fine. ... I’m also 5’1, had a c-section, & at the time I weighed 97 lbs (EBF was keeping very lean, not my preferred but I still was able to maneuver the doona fine!) ... You truly only pick it up to go in and out of the car and it’s not that difficult if you watch the videos & make sure you’re picking it up and collapsing it in a way that isn’t hurting your back, etc. ... I think it’s also way less awkward than a normal car seat as far as carrying it!"

"And so compact that I could put baby in it, and then roll it around house with me as I finished getting ready."
"It was our only car seat and stroller as we didn’t have room for anything else in our small apartment in LA."
"Doona is designed to be compact & lightweight ... it’s the only thing I see remotely working in your car if you’re going to try to keep it with a newborn."

"It’s such a game changer and makes every errand so much easier with an infant, especially if you are a new mom. ... Was an absolute game changer for us."
"I am a C-section mama and without the doona I could not have been able to do stuff."

"Oh and it is the most perfectly amazing travel item. Flying is incredibly easy, it fits on the scanner at security and goes right back into being a stroller, then it can be a car seat on the plane, then the car seat in the car at your destination, then a stroller everywhere you go! It’s just great."

"it is -only- good for travel. ... It's heavy, not easy to get in and out of the car regularly."
"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."
"the Doona is sooooo heavy! ... I can barely carry it, I need my husband to do it every time lol."

"by 8.5-9 months getting him in was challenging (more so height than just the weight of it)."
"My biggest complaint with the doona is the price and the short life span it has. ... It’s way too expensive for the few months you can use it."
"This price tag for something that only lasts *maybe* a year is a dealbreaker for me."

"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."
"Terrible for day to day especially because there’s no storage ... no storage"
"there is no storage (so if you’re like me and hate carrying things you need a bag that hangs off the handle)"

"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."
"and no suspension, so it’s only good for short trips on smooth terrain. ... it’s not great over rough terrain, so I wouldn’t take it to the park, or city etc."
"the doona is a shit stroller. ... On our last trip we ended up borrowing a bob running stroller."
