My son was 9 months when we went on our first trip, so he was a little bigger, but we bought a Mountain Buggy Nano online and a COSCO car seat from Walmart. The Nano has a belt to attach the seat to the stroller, we wheeled it as one piece through the airport, then when we were on the plane he sat in his car seat and the stroller went in the overhead. I don’t know if the same setup would work with a regular bucket/infant carrier, but maybe? How much longer do you think you’ll keep your LO in an infant seat? The Doona isn’t light by itself. We were out of the carrier by 9 months. So if you’re anything like us, you’d only get 5 months of use out of it. Unless you’re planning to have more kids or resell it, then it might be worthwhile. We will probably use the Nano/COSCO set up for travel until he is 4 or so. The Nano isn’t perfect. The straps are wonky and don’t go small enough for a small child, but I knotted them in the back to keep them shorter. It lays flat, perfect for naps in the airport. The hood comes back far enough it covers my hands, which is kind of annoying. But it steers great, is half the price of the Yoyo, very compact, we actually use it as much or more than our full-sized Graco.
r/beyondthebump • Talk me into (or out of) the Doona for upcoming travel! ->I got a used mountain buggy nano and have been pretty happy with it!
r/Buyingforbaby • Travel Stroller - Analysis Paralysis ->We have two. The jogging stroller is definitely the most useful one - obviously it's good for running, but it's also very good on bumpy terrain and is the only one we can use outdoors in the winter. We went with a Bumbleride Indie, but they all seemed pretty comparable when we tested them out. We chose that one because they had adapters for our model of car seat. We also have a Mountain Buggy Nano that can fold up to fit in an overhead compartment. We travel a lot so I thought this would be a really helpful feature, but in hindsight we would have been fine getting a cheap umbrella stroller for every day use and gate checking it for flights. I do like the convenience of a small stroller, especially for quick outings.
r/BabyBumpsCanada • Do we really need multiple strollers ? [qc] ->We have a Mountain Buggy Nano and have successfully put it in the overhead bins most of the time, but occasionally they've made us gate check it. It seems to depend more on the agents working at the time than the overhead bin space on the plane, unfortunately.
r/BabyBumpsCanada • Do WJ/AC allow travel strollers in overhead compartments? [ca] ->I’ve used the Mountain Buggy Nano for countless flights and my toddler loves it; he can nap wonderfully in it.
r/moderatelygranolamoms • ISO Compact/Lightweight Travel Stroller ->Love the Uppababy Minu. The V3 has some nice upgrade features from the first two iterations. It’s so much smoother than my mountain buggy nano or Zoe stroller and the recline is close to flat. Underbasket is a little small but we’ve managed to pack it for two kids under 3-4 for Disney park days.
r/Buyingforbaby • Best reclining travel stroller? ->Loved my mountain buggy terrain with a carrycot. Was the only bed baby would sleep in. We are on the taller side so it was great. Got a small mountain buggy nano when baby was about 6 months as we were doing a lot of flying and it could be carried onto the aircraft. Used the big one until about 4 as we did lots of walking/jogging
r/newzealand • New Parents of NZ ->I would suggest going to a store and seeing how your little one sits in the travel pram. Some are more suitable from 6 months. We travelled interstate when our little one was 4 months. She was very small in the travel pram at the time and may have been a bit uncomfortable. We later did some long haul travel when she was 8 months and using the pram was a lot better. We have a 2nd hand mountain buggy nano. Note, when airline staff ask if your pram folds and fits the overhead compartment they will almost always ask of you have a babyzen yoyo - it has such strong brand recognition. I used to just say yes. 😊 Another option is a carrier for taking bubs through theairport.
r/BabyBumpsandBeyondAu • Best travel pram ->First baby we bought a quality travel stroller that we could use our carseat with because our car was tiny — Mountain Buggy Nano. It was gifted to us, but these are easy to find secondhand. Second baby we added a double stroller/bike trailer to the mix with a secondhand Thule Cougar 2 (I think the new version is a Cross?). Aside from needing a double, we also wanted something that was better at pushing through snow. Third baby I decided I wanted a fancy stroller and found a practically new Quinny Hubb. Biggest draw was the giant basket, versatility for seating and having an add-on second seat for toddlers. It’s also really good in the snow. I use the Quinny and the Nano regularly depending on the situation. The Chariot hasn’t had any use in a while, though. Harder to fold, harder to clean, a bit wide for doorways. The older kids just walk or bike.
r/moderatelygranolamoms • Moms, what attracted you to buy that stroller? ->We don't have a car and commute with our toddler everyday on a busy subway. We have a Mountain Buggy nano. Super comfy, small footprint, fairly sturdy, folds small you can get replacement parts for everything. We are happy with the nano but other strollers we considered and I still think look good are the Ergo Baby Metro and the Uppababy Minu.
r/BabyBumpsCanada • Stroller recommendations, smaller than vista but more comfortable than a travel stroller [on] ->We like the mountain buggy nano v3…. It’s a lower price point and it has a universal car seat attachment strap for the airport etc
r/BabyBumpsCanada • Help me pick a travel stroller! [ca] ->For travel I will never give up my mountain buggy nano. Fits in overhead bin with the wheels on, lays flat for use as a bassinet and for on the go naps with toddler, compatible with ALL infant car seats without having to buy extra expensive adapters. We have used it around the world with our 2.5 year old and have overloaded the bottom basket more times than I can count. It's our consistent travel must have.
r/NewParents • What kind of/how many strollers do people have? ->At that age you will need something that fully reclines. We have the Mountain Buggy Nano and like it but it is possibly a little big for a 5 month old. Can you try a few out in a store?
r/BabyBumpsandBeyondAu • Travel pram/stroller recommendations? ->My daughter is roughly the same size, and has never fallen asleep in a stroller. She’s always had fairly controlled and comfortable napping situations. For our trip in Sept, I borrowed a mountain buggy nano from a family member, just so she didn’t have to walk so much. I didn’t think she would nap…but she ended up falling asleep out of pure exhaustion everyday. Short 45-70min nap in the strangest configurations. No complaints. Unless your kiddo has specifically said their neck hurts from sleeping in awkward positions they might surprise you! I also looked at renting a “big kid stroller” from a rental store. Something like this might suit your needs. https://ocbabygearrentals.com/products/big-kids-single-stroller
r/DisneyPlanning • Stroller that's great for naps? ->We have a Mountain Buggy Nano for travel and love it. Small, lightweight, folds to the overhead compartment, has a decent sunshade and decent storage beneath, and reclines fully. It’s also not outrageously expensive, which was a big selling point for us.
r/NewParents • What's the best stroller you've used? ->Check the airline’s rules because some will only gate check either a car seat or a stroller (American) and some limit the weight of the stroller (Delta for sure, not certain about others). So whatever you opt for, make sure it meets recommendations. We have a mountain buggy nano for travel, which fits in most overhead compartments and lays fully flat. Our son is now 2 and still fits comfortably, and it’s more reasonably priced than some travel strollers (I think about $250? Not sure about current pricing). You can also strap car seats to it, though I wouldn’t use it that way primarily because it’s not from the car seat manufacturer and may not have the car seat sitting at the correct recline. But it could be useful that way with an infant seat in the airport for a limited amount of time.
r/NewParents • Is Uppababy stroller & car seat too much for airport? ->Mountain buggy nano
r/BabyBumpsCanada • Travel stroller recommendations [BC] ->Of your list, I’ve only tried the MB nano, but if anyone using the stroller is above 6 feet, they’re likely to find it uncomfortable to use, and in my experience, that does apply to most “travel” strollers. The only travel stroller we found comfortable due to the height was the Jools Aer, but it’s above your price limit. If I didn’t already have a pricier, bigger and heavier main stroller, I might have gotten it as our primary I think. As it was, I ended up getting a secondhand Guzzie and Guss Oxygen as our travel stroller. I don’t love it, but buying secondhand was well worth it and I wish I’d never bought a new stroller early on in the baby shopping process, honestly.
r/BabyBumpsCanada • Stroller Recommendations [CA] ->We were looking closely at the mountain buggy nano (not the duet) its very light and you can put 2 bassinets or a double bassinet on it
r/parentsofmultiples • Lightweight double stroller for grandma? ->I've got a mountain buggy nano that I LOVE. LikeI just started using it as a daily driver since it worked so well and was so much smaller then my super bulky one. Only real "gripe" is that the under basket storage is a bit smaller then a full sized stroller but that's about it.
r/Buyingforbaby • Best Travel Stroller? ->Just a warning about the e2f I found it doesn't fit small babies well. I change my son to it at 4 months because he was 16lbs and tall and I was always a little worried about his chin being at his chest, which is dangerousfor babies. I would ask for advice on the seats for kids facebook group for what convertible worked best from birth and for your car. I haven't heard of either of those brands tbh. I'm also not sure I'd trust them, I have an inherent distrust of anybig ticket baby gear that isn't from an established brand. I personally don't know if they are tested to the same standards and I just don't trust the build quality. If you have a versa I really recommend you look at travel strollers. I originally planned to keep my Toyota yaris (so similar sized car) and the only stroller that fit without taking up the entire car was travel strollers. I've heard good things about the summer infant quick close, although I think you'd need an infant car seat to use it from birth. I got the mountain buggy nano which is a lie flat so it can be used from birth. I have a jogging strollers I use from home.
r/BabyBumpsCanada • Stroller advice FTM [ab] ->For that price I'd probably look into getting an open box ergobaby metro, city tour 2, mountain buggy nano. They're just higher quality brands. I have a mountain buggy nano and its great, my only real complain is the folds annoying. You could also save some money and get the summer infant 3d quick close, which I've heard is a great travel stroller.
r/BabyBumpsCanada • Evenflo Hummingbird Stroller [ON] ->I love my Joolz Aer+, but I also use it as my primary stroller. It gets a lot of use. If you want something less expensive, look into the Mountain Buggy Nano.
r/Buyingforbaby • Best Travel Stroller? ->I have a Cruz and I brought it on a trip to Hawaii. It was definitely bulky but handy to have in the airports because of the larger storage. We also walked around a lot so it was nice to have there. For a more recent trip to LA we bought a mountain buggy nano which I love. It’s so compact, fits in overhead compartment so we didn’t have to gate check it. It’s definitely not as comfy and doesn’t handle quite as well but now it’s the stroller I keep in my car for when we’re out and about. Either way, I think you’ll be fine. But if you are going to be in and out of cars a bunch, a travel stroller might be good to have!
r/BabyBumpsCanada • Buying a travel stroller vs using Uppababy Cruz on trips [on] ->We have an Uppa Baby Vista as our main pram (secondhand), a Mountain Buggy Nano for travel, and a Thule Chariot Lite for biking that we also sometimes use in buggy mode for off road. The Vista was great especially when the little one was young. It comes with a bassinet that we used loads just around the house. It also has optional attachments to add older kids on a running board or seat in front. Tons of storage space too. The adjustable bar height is a lifesaver for taller people like me. The Nano has been awesome for travel since it collapses small very easily. That said, until he hit 12kg or so, it was often just easier to put him in a front carrier (Ergobaby Omni breeze) than bother with a stroller. We use it much more now that he’s heavier. It has a surprising amount of storage for a travel stroller but it’s wheels can’t handle much terrain at all. The Chariot is good but massive and expensive. It’s billed as multipurpose but is definitely mainly a bike trailer. We really only use it in buggy mode when biking to an area then walking around or if walking on rougher trails. If you plan on running or doing more trails, the sport version would be well worth it.
r/newzealand • New Parents of NZ ->I took the mountain buggy with a different airline to NZ and had zero issues. They didn’t measure it
r/BabyBumpsandBeyondAu • Lie flat travel pram on Qantas ->I highly highly recommend a travel stroller that can lie flat! I believe the yo-yo doesn’t. Aside from baby being able to take naps comfortably while you go out and explore adjusting to jet lags, I’ve been able to change my baby/toddler’s diapers in a pinch whenever I couldn’t find a public change table and/or if the public one looks nasty. Just need to find a handicap or large enough bathroom. It’s been a lifesaver!! I have the mountain buggy nano. I wouldn’t say it’s the best quality but I like it.
r/BabyBumpsCanada • Budget Travel stroller brands [ON] ->We like our Mountain Buggy Nano. It lies flat for naps and has a removable blackout panel at the back, the canopy is decently large, and the basket underneath is deceptively big. It's also carry-on size when collapsed. Downsides are that collapsing takes some practice, and to be compact enough to put in an overhead bin you do need to pop all the wheels off.
r/BabyBumpsCanada • Best travel stroller [ab] ->We like our Mountain Buggy Nano and took it with us to Japan when our daughter was two. It collapses down pretty small, fits in the overhead bins, weighs about 13 lb total so it was easy to carry up and down stairs at the times that elevators were hard to find or too much of a detour, and it lies completely flat so was great for naps on the go. It also has a blackout cover on the back of it so it makes it fairly dark for napping, and the storage basket on the bottom was big enough that we could carry our diaper bag and snacks and shopping and stuff around during the day.
r/BabyBumpsCanada • Travel Stroller Recommendations [ON] ->I love the Mountain Buggy Nano. It folds up small enough I can put it in the back seat (not trunk), and it’s light enough I can sling it over my shoulder. I’ve taken it on airplanes, trains, and many flights.
r/Mommit • Stroller for traveling ->Mountain buggy nano. Compacts small, lightweight, reclines flat, cheaper. Depends on what you want to prioritize but this worked out well for us. We knew we were going to need improvised changing stations on the go so the lay flat capability was and is clutch when we are out in places that don’t have available facilities. Helpful also where men’s bathrooms don’t have changing tables. Here’s a useful comparison chart: https://www.reddit.com/r/beyondthebump/comments/z2qwrs/comparison_of_travel_strollers_details_in_the/ Also since you mention European streets, are you talking about bumpy surfaces? If that’s the case, maybe a breathable carrier could be better option for both you and LO.
r/daddit • Hey dad, what kind of travel stroller do you use? ->We really like the Mountain Buggy Nano! Its been through 3 kids, 8 flights (it fits onboard), through sand, on cobblestone streets, NYC, LAX, and various mountain weekends. Highly reccomended! [https://us.mountainbuggy.com/products/nano-travel-buggy?srsltid=AfmBOopDp4XLaxHaY9Ws-DoCXozncWk\_Qdh-5TM0vy0Nwk7049-XegyO](https://us.mountainbuggy.com/products/nano-travel-buggy?srsltid=AfmBOopDp4XLaxHaY9Ws-DoCXozncWk_Qdh-5TM0vy0Nwk7049-XegyO)
r/SAHP • Travel/Everyday SAHP Stroller advice? on Zoe Tour vs Joolz Aer+ ->I’d recommend second hand mountain buggy. Replacement parts for MB are super easy to get. Being able to attach the capsule was useful but only matters for a few short months over the life of the stroller. Mountain buggy is compatible with lots of different brands of capsules, the MB capsule itself (MB Protect AKA Phil&Teds Alpha) is poorly rated for safety though. Our MB Nano has been absolutely thrashed, we’ve taken that thing to Fiji, Switzerland, up the gondola at Ruapehu, and it lives in the footwell of our car now. Not great for newborns though.
r/newzealand • New Parents of NZ ->We have the mountain biggy nano. Massive win was that it lays flat whereas not all the ones on your list so i believe. Weve got the MB Nano Urban specifically for the bigger wheels at destination. Loved it and worth every cent
r/BabyBumpsandBeyondAu • Travel pram for 3 month old (overhead locker on plane) ->That's impressive. I think we had 6 in total. My favourites were the BabyJogger Citi with the one-hand fold and the Mountain Buggy one that can fit in an aeroplane overhead locker. Folding those in front of other parents was a major flex. But commuting with an infant and toddler it was essential. They put in a high shelf in the crèche's stroller store for our MB. Some mornings I'd walk in with it slung over my shoulder with the strap.
r/daddit • My wife has a crazy addiction to buying strollers. So we’ve tried em all. ->Mountain buggy... has been fantastic across three kids. Attachment "buggy board" is essential once you have a second kid.
r/newzealand • New Parents of NZ ->
