"I am a C-section mama and without the doona I could not have been able to do stuff."
"I honestly loved it and loved not having to take my kid out of the car seat and put them into something else if we were going somewhere."
"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."

"Easy to pop into random Ubers."
"It’s a stroller! It’s a car seat!"
"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."

"This price tag for something that only lasts *maybe* a year is a dealbreaker for me."
"our 99th percentile baby grew out of it around 12-13mo. ... I am SO sad that we can no longer use it."
"it really is expensive to only last 10-12 months"

"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 wheels dont have suspension either so its not great on really rough surfaces. ... We tried using it for a couple short walks around neighborhood sidewalks and it wasn't ideal."
we find it super convenient, it’s easier for us to load the baby outside the car, and then move the entire seat inside. Makes it great for doctors appointments. That being said, I don’t see it as a replacement for an actual stroller. It’s great for what we need to get from car to location, but we prefer an actual stroller for longer walks
We have one and primarily used it for travel as it was easier to have just one thing instead of 2. Also it installs without a base which is convenient when we were traveling with rental cars (but more options out these days for that, esp the nunas).
I absolutely love our Doona for car travels. I take Uber pretty frequently and it’s just so easy for in and outs. I also traveled across the country and it was sooo handy in the airport! I found it heavy in the very beginning but I actually think I’ve gotten stronger since then because it’s easier for me to lift now. we were lucky enough to get ours for free so that is also a plus; we could never have afforded it with the hefty price tag
i love my Doona, for my babies first year i had to commute to work with him so it was a real lifesaver. i also used it when i traveled cross country to visit family. i still use it for short trips and if he needs to nap! ours was free from a friend and i cried when my husband brought it home
I have the Doona and I love it. So convenient to just take the car seat out of the car, press a button and it’s a stroller. No fuss no muss. I also have a Joie Ginger stroller for when I take my baby for walks in the park. It’s worked well for us. I was gifted a a Cybex Libelle travel stroller but haven’t used it yet. Seems cool though.
+1. The Doona is one of few baby items that is worth every penny.
Get it! We’re obsessed!
I have used it as my primary stroller since my son was born and love it. It has been super helpful for me and I don’t regret it for a second. I live in a city and don’t own a car so it is very conducive to my lifestyle. It’s much easier to navigate around places like city grocery stores with tiny aisles and the bus, and I was able to use it with ride shares as well (although I know use Uber car seat option now). I don’t think it is that heavy but I don’t know what to compare it to. Yes it’s a bit of a physical feat lifting it into some vehicles but I usually collapse it right by the car. Also, I AM five feet tall so the height is a plus for me. I have an UppaBaby Vista that was handed down to me. I have been using it more for long walks and excursions as my son as gotten bigger. I find it much harder to handle and it feels huge. So I am all in on the Dooma but it’s largely a lifestyle fit. Edit; and I traveled with it when he was 8 months old. Amazing in the airport and ideal because I was also renting a car at the location. But probably there are cheaper options if that’s the main draw unless you travel constantly.
I loved it for traveling. Also amazed a couple pilots when I was collapsing it at the gate for them to check. It was perfect because my trip involved car rentals, car shares and flying. That said it is pricey so if you could borrow one for travel that would be the way. It’s my every day stroller though.
We got gifted one and really like it. It is our on the go stroller
Honestly surprised at how many people are upset by the height. I’m 5’7 and have zero issue. It’s extremely convenient when running errands, especially with ny toddler in tow. IMO the biggest downside is that it’s damn heavy, but since it doubles as a stroller, the only time I’m carrying it is into the house. All that said, we bought from a trusted secondhand source, so didn’t have the hefty price tag.
We live in the City and Doona has been awesome!
