"Oh also brilliant for air travel. Fits in security scanner and seat."
"is easy to get in to cars and taxis without the base"
"I've just had a horrible flight experience alone with my 3mo and the one best thing about it was the Doona + car seat / stroller. So glad I splashed out for it as I don't know how I would have wrangled everything otherwise."

"is easy to get in to cars and taxis without the base"
"I liked the Doona with my youngest a lot. It made it easy to run errands. I would absolutely get one again if we were having more kids."
"The biggest benefit to me is that I don’t have to load up a stroller into the car wherever we go."

"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."

"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."
"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."
"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."

"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 was so bulky that we ended up just taking our daily chicco keyfit 35 and stroller caddy instead ... Especially since my mom’s car is a suburban with high back seats so I can’t imagine having to lift the doona in/out of that on the daily."
"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."

"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."
"there is no storage (so if you’re like me and hate carrying things you need a bag that hangs off the handle)"
"while we do want more storage space, we make do with a backpack if necessary (like park trips)."

"the doona is a shit stroller. ... On our last trip we ended up borrowing a bob running stroller."
"Terrible for going on walks etc. ... It ’s a pretty rough ride over anything but very smooth pavement ... it can barely handle the grass in my front yard ... it will definitely be a rough go in snow and mud."
"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."

"Plus, it's too short for anyone that's taller than like 5'4" unless you want back pain."
"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."
"my baby is on the bigger side so he wouldn’t have been able to use it long."

"Plus, it's too short for anyone that's taller than like 5'4" unless you want back pain."
"by 8.5-9 months getting him in was challenging (more so height than just the weight of it)."
"the limited handle height was the deal breaker for me, my husband is quite tall."
