"we also needed the car seat and with the doona also doubling as a stroller and working so well going into and out of Ubers straight into stroller mode and working just with a seatbelt, it was super helpful for us."
"You can install both the doona and the evenflo shyft (I personally think this design is better but to each their own) using just a seat belt for travel without the base."
"needing to go baseless (for travel or riding in someone else’s car)"

"I LOVE it for travel because it is also a car seat (we use lots of Ubers and hire cars on holiday and business travel)."
"I haven’t touched my regular car seat + stroller combo since. ... The Doona goes *everywhere* with me. ... It’s hands-down the most convenient, easy-to-use baby item I own."
"For flying it's amazing"

"doona is excellent if you want a car seat/stroller in one ... the ease of getting it in and out of taxis is unparalleled"
"not having to carry a separate car seat was a godsend"

"being able to quickly get in and out of the car and get around town is worth it. ... It takes me a fraction of the time to go places compared to my friend who has the UPPAbaby Vista."

"not practical for cobble stone (European from a very old city) or anything but a smooth surface ... saw one at the beach and the dad was sweating trying to move this thing through the sand"
"It was also really bad as a stroller (no storage, horrid suspension, and terrible ergonomics for anyone average height or taller)."

"it just has this one short little loop and can't be carried as a bag hands-free. Also, it doesn't store much, so we always needed a regular diaper bag anyway if we were leaving the house for any longer than a few hours. It made me so mad and I regretted purchasing it."

"We loathed the Doona (my husband is 6’5)"

"We are not tall people, but the Doona was way too short for myself (5’6”) and my husband (5’10”)."

"hated it. I genuinely don’t get the hype. She also was trying to sell it because of the short usage window"
"The Doona has a pretty short time span in which you can actually use it. ... By the time my daughter was 9 months old she outgrew it based on her height."
"I would get a travel stroller but not a Doona as they will grow out of it soon (our son grew out right before 12 months)"

"it was way too heavy for me to think about lifting pp"
"I do have another stroller for walks though. I would never take the doona on a walk!"
"It’s a clunky thing that would only be useful if you’re traveling a lot ie getting baby in and out of a taxi in a busy city or something. I personally didn’t think it’s practical for day to day use."
1ithe 0.2The Doona is expensive, but I absolutely adore mine. The turn radius is AMAZING imo.
accentpreferred 0.2Yeah I agree with this. I nanny and it’s just popular with people. I don’t really like it (and will usually choose a long lasting convertible over a bucket seat regardless), but it’s very popular.
Actual_Eye6716 0.2I use a second hand doona which is good for infants as it folds into a car seat. Got it for $100
addgh346 0.2Doona + a used bigger stroller for home (like Uppa or Nuna)
After_Assistant_4033 0.2I have a Doona and love it. I was so overwhelmed with stokers and car seats, i’ve pushed that decision further down the road. 🤣
AggressiveThanks994 0.2I’m short and found the doona way too small!
agtt1589 0.2Doona for travel/errands until they size out, then bugaboo butterfly for travel. Uppababy vista for every day.
Alli_Lucy 0.2This is what we’ve settled on, plus a Doona because we do a lot of plane travel and it seems convenient for that while they’re still little.
We went with the Doona - quite a few of our friends have them and love them.
Like any stroller, everyone needs to weigh the pros and cons against their lifestyle. Where I live, slush isn't an issue (although I have several friends who have loved it in NYC, so who knows - pros and cons!).
Our plan is to just put the base in our car and use the seat belt path in ride shares and on planes.
Oh yes, that's a good thought! We don't anticipate being anywhere but the US and EU for the first year, so Doona should be fine in both, but definitely something to keep in mind.
We have a Doona that we use as a car seat and occasionally as a stroller (e.g. driving to the doctor, air travel, taking a car share or cab, etc). We also got a Joolz Aer as a gift and plan to use it when she gets bigger, but haven't yet. The carrier is just so easy and freeing that I can’t imagine dealing with a stroller on a walk or running errands on foot/taking public transport. The baywearing sub is really helpful - I recommend starting there.
Alternative-West-618 0.2I can get my uppababy vista in and out of my lifted truck. My friend has one so I was able to test lifting it. I’m small and need something I can lift without much trouble. The car seat snaps in and out. I eventually splurged on a doona for travel only and I love it for that.
anmsea 0.2I would get a travel stroller but not a Doona as they will grow out of it soon (our son grew out right before 12 months)
