Nuna - DEMI next + PIPA urbn Travel System

We went and trialed them. I really enjoyed the vista mobility compared to the nuna, it also felt more comfortable for him. They make bags that you could gate check the vista. The wheels come off really easily, if I was going to gate check it I would remove the wheels. We got a travel car seat and travel stroller separate from the ones we keep in the car. I wanted a light stroller I wouldn’t have to gate check and a light car seat to carry through the airport. The doona for us was extremely low, it seemed like it would be uncomfortable for long usage.

I was torn between your same options. I went w the nuna Demi next. I went in the store to try both and I like the nuna (how easy to close, to push it w one hand) the main attachment lay flat for newborn (so we didn’t get a basinet attachment). For travel consider a foldable stroller

After lots of shopping around, we went with the Nuna PIPA urbn and Demi Next. Was able to try different combos (mainly UPPAbaby and Nuna) in our vehicles and really liked the one we chose.

I am down this deep dark rabbit hole currently. I was leaning uppa, but then I read their infant car seats have a bad “chin to chest” issue. You can get a nuna infant seat to fit the vista v2/v3 but then I’m like, why not just go all nuna at that point. So now I’m looking at the nuna Demi next stroller with the pipa aire infant seat and then when they grow out of that we’ll switch to a convertible car seats. I want the bassinet attachment also not just for walks but for traveling naps and if the bay falls asleep on our walks they can just keep sleeping in the bassinet but with the infant seat they can’t.

Joolz aer 2 and Nuna pipa URBN are what I’m doing for my nyc baby. This combo is most versatile for travel etc.

I got the nuna next travel system and I was not impressed for the price. Granted I have nothing to compare it to but I expected it to be lighter and easier to get in and out of the car :/. Quality is good but wish I’d gone with a different option.

We have one, the Nuna Pipa Urban Travel system. We've traveled across the country with it twice. It folds up at gate for gate check, no problem. It comes with the infant car seat. Our 7 month old is 19lbs and 24in tall and fits in it nicely still. The car seat attaches to the stroller to face backwards. It clips into any vehicle, no base needed, can go in an Uber etc. She's sitting well enough now that she can sit forward facing in the stroller, which adjust the back angle from all the way flat to fully upright. So, we don't need the car seat if we don't want to take it out of the car with us. We will use this stroller until she's 5+ or whenever she stops wanting to sit in it. It's durable, packable and idk why anyone overcomplicates their lives by getting multiple strollers.

Doona’a are very heavy. I recommended Nuna Urbn with Trvl stroller combo. Lightweight, safe and sturdy.

I don't get the UppaBaby hype. I think its an ugly stroller and you need a special pillow attachment just to use it for a young infant or the bassinet attachment, which all costs extra ontop of an already expensive stroller. The car seat is super heavy and not great either I hear. I did buy a similar top of the line/expensive travel system but loved it and thought it was well worth it. No need to spend extra for a infant pillow. It can be used from a newborn and the car seat is super nice and one of the lightest seats on the market. Highly recommend any of the Nuna travel systems. We had the Pipa and Mixx stroller.

I’m due in July and plan to travel and spend time in both urban and suburban environments. I also have a compact car. I got the Nuna TRVL lx and pipa urbn, both great for travel. The only considerations are that the stroller doesn’t have a bassinet attachment and a parent facing option. Not a huge deal for me initially but I had an insomnia / pre tariff price increase freak out purchase where I also ended up buying a full size stroller, Cybex Balios S Lux 2 Stroller + Cot S Lux 2 Bundle, from Albee baby which was heavily discounted because the color way was discontinued. So now I have two 😅 but no regrets!

The Nuna Pipa Urbn is great but it is an infant seat that your baby could potentially be grown out of before they reach 6 months. I have it and love that I can move it between cars but my little one is 5 months and definitely doesn’t fit in it now so we’re having to get a convertible seat.

It only goes up to 28lbs or 23 inches height (something along those lines), whichever comes first - it’s on the Nuna website. It’s handy for a while but ultimately you’ll need a convertible seat at some point around 5-6 months, depending on how quickly your LO grows.

I got the Burley Honey Bee for running! It’s been great, and we can attach it to the bike. It doesn’t have a hand break, but I haven’t needed one. Baby does have to meet size minimums to use it, but it by far gets more use than any other stroller I’ve had. For family outings I love my Nuna! I was cheap and started with a Baby Trend Travel System and the stroller broke before I had my second, the car seat started deteriorating with my first and broke with my second:/ whatever you do I wouldn’t cheap out, you’ll pay more in the long run.

We had a Nuna that was good, but then I rented a Bob jogger on vacation and fell in love with it. I ended up buying a Thule Jogger which is going strong with kid number 2, but the Bob is a great choice too. Joggers are just better with different terrain, hop curbs easy, and are simple. The Nuna was great if you're on a smooth sidewalk or something and had too many plastic parts

I love our city stroller by baby jogger. I’ve got the single and the double. I’ve had about 3 prams including the nuna which is great but bulky and not as easy to fold and put in the car

Thanks, I’m leaning towards Hub 2 or Aer+. With Hub 2 - does the clek liing car seat fit securely in the adapter/stroller? And is the handlebar wobbly at all? I can’t seem to find a place that I can see in person - sorry for all the questions! I tried the nuna strollers at nordstrom and the handlebars kept making clicky sounds and were wobbly.

If you're contemplating used check out goodbuygear. I loved the Nuna and it was worlds above our cheaper travel stroller.

It is extremely sturdy with a metal frame, but lightweight and easy to push. Like, it glides so smooth haha. It’s also the only one I found that had a true one hand open/close. Also had the biggest basket. I have taken it on many airplanes and I even pushed it down the airplane aisle and it fit perfect. Some of the other travel strollers mentioned are okay, but seemed so cheaply made compared to the bugaboo. The Nuna travel stroller was nice too, but you had to use two hands because of this little latch.

I have the twin v2 and it is soooo junky. Flimsy basket, threads pulled right out of the box, hard af to push in a parking lot. It’s ridiculous that everyone recommends all terrain wheels for me to push that stroller in parking lot. I’m selling my v2 and getting the Nuna. I have a single Nuna and I love that thing. I wouldn’t waste my time with Zoe again.

I have the uppababy Cruz. I love it. I have a lab and haven't had any issues walking her with it. fwiw, I use a waist belt leash. We do city walking, dirt path walking, and I easily run errands with it. I tried the Nuna strollers. Couldn't figure out how to fold them easily. Uppababy also has excellent customer service and warranties. I had to use a warranty on another product and they were quick about confirming coverage and sending a replacement (though it took longer to get here than I'd have liked). I would consider getting one secondhand. I found so many on FB marketplace for $200-300. UB often sells spare parts, so you can fix most issues (scuffed bars, wheels, etc.).

Guhhh i wish i saw this before getting the nuna travel stroller. I got sucked into the hype and spent $550 😞

I'm in exactly the same dilemma and debating between the same two models! I like the feel and quality and sturdiness of the nuna, esp the carrycot (which we'd probably buy second hand with either modell. Nuna was my original 1st choice, but now debating on the joolz aer 2, which is significantly lighter, and also has a bigger carry basket. For travel and getting around I think that lighter weight could probably make a huge difference in London, esp since we live in a third floor flat and don't own a car. 

Yeah, I don’t think anyone would consider the Uppababy vista as a travel stroller. It’s considered a full-size stroller. I have the babyzen yoyo and we got that as. Travel stroller because it’s super light and fits in the airplane cabin. I have a Nuna that’s similar in size to the Uppababy and it takes up half my trunk

Evenflo is easy, and light weight Doona is a great first start (ftm here and we have this and I love it) Nuna-also light weight and I think some models have no base required but the stroller base is heavy/larger We use doona for short trips to Dr or target and use a cyber something light weight fold up 10 lb stroller for longer walks etc. this alows us to keep the actual doona car seat in good shape.

FTM went through so many strollers. We have 1 baby and will have a 2nd about 1.5-2 years apart. Live in the city but also have a car and use it often, major walkers and also loads of snow. Had the graco and evenflo (doubles strollers for a 2nd future baby). Threw these out (sold one and one is at grandmas). I couldn’t put them in the car (I could but the hassle and time it would, was too long). Had to put the chair part from the frame to put in the car as it’s not a 1 fold. We live in a city and car theif is super high in public, malls, i wasn’t taking a chance with Lo locked in the car while in taking 2 mins to fold and put the stroller away. Anyways, for everyday strollers (errands in car) Nuna travel, one hand fold, automatic, good sunshade, very easy to put in the car and unfold with one hand. I don’t use this for long walks though, but errands in the city, malls, daycare etc. not good on snow but inbetween. The yoyo one I believe was the next best one. I wouldn’t use these on on baby under 9 months though since they are not parent facing. Maxi corsi Stella i think, great suspension, horrible handle, lift, still big, heavy. Overall win: for walking, errands by foot, longgg walks, bad weather, can go car friendly but still big for my taste. But it’s infant to toddler friendly, comes with a bassinet, chair, can add 2 kids or just 1 with bassinet to seat depending on model, love their sun shades, handle is comfortable. We got the Uppababy cruz better for the city less wide than the vista. cruz can hold only 1 child but comes with a stand board, forward and rear facing.. snack tray is good. I love this stroller for everyday. Comes with a car seat which is totally comfortable for Lo and easily detachable to my frame to base. We bought it used on FB as I didn’t understand the Uppababy hype.. but I wish I got this one for my first. Also customer service is great with their questions. For strong winters (we have snow and low as -20 but we don’t go outside but for snow air filled tires are best) we got a bob for jogging with ours now, and it’s been great but it’s for camping, jogging, winter times outside. Huge though but if you go outside for winter often air filled tires are the best.

We tried them out in person, strongly recommend if you have a store close to you. We went with the Nuna because it was the only one tall enough for my 6'4" husband. The uppababy at its tallest height worked for me at 5'10". Neither needs a bassinet. Nuna lays completely flat as it is. And the uppababy has a relatively affordable insert that will make it flat for a newborn, I think it's $50-$75.

The vista and the Cruz are not travel strollers. If you looking for something easy to get in and out of cars, there are better options (nuna travel, triv are super easy with the car seat). If you’re looking for an everyday stroller to get around the city, the vista and Cruz are probably fine!

I have the ergobaby Metro plus and I have completely stopped using my nuna. It's amazing. Folds up so compact, lays flat, sturdy. We took it to Ireland a few months ago and it was amazing for our trip. Only downside is that the basket is pretty small.

Honestly, the travel stroller version was too light with Nuna (just my opinion) so the step up with the Triv model seems to fit all our needs, so only one and done! Guessing it also maybe depends on your lifestyle...? 

I worked at a baby store in college so I used to sell strollers to all types of people. I’m also a FTM and recently purchased one for myself. I will say that it’s an extremely personal choice - what works for you and yours may not work for me. For example, I live in a city with rough brick sidewalks - so good wheels and suspension were important to us. We also haven’t met our baby yet and don’t know what their temperament will be, so shelling out $800+ for a stroller seems risky. I have plenty of friends/family who have expensive strollers collecting dust in their cars/basements. We looked at the UppaBaby, Nuna, and a lot of the other popular systems on the market and decided they wouldn’t work for us. We loathed the Doona (my husband is 6’5) and weren’t overly impressed with the Graco / Chiccos we saw at Target. We found a boxed and brand new Baby Jogger City Mini at a discount store and bought it for a great price. My husband is obsessed with it already. It’s a brand I used to sling at the store and it’s very functional / in line with what we were looking for. I suggest testing out as many as possible, if you can. There aren’t many baby stores left, but Nordstrom has some on display. Rei might as well. Target as a few. Unsure about Walmart. And I think talking to parents who are out and about when you see them pushing strollers can be helpful. But default on your own judgement and prioritize your needs. Also, if your baby is going to be born in colder months, or if you’re not ready to commit to a brand/type, you may want to hold off or just get a snap n go system.

I’m a nanny who’s used many strollers, and the Joolz Aer is my favorite! I think you really need a one hand fold and a shoulder strap for the subway. I have the nuna travel for my son, which is a close second. You’ll see a ton of yo-yos, but I find them hard to fold up.

We have a vista and a travel stroller (Nuna bc our infant car seat fits on it without an adapter), and use each daily, just for different purposes like you said. Vista is for walks around the neighborhood to get baby/toddler to sleep and for walking to the grocery store, long days out, and road trips when baby was little and could sleep in the basinet attachment. It’s definitely clunky, but really meets a need for us. Also, we just had our second so it’s a double stroller! Travel is for everyday, quick grocery trips, trips to the zoo that will be only a few hours (but if going for the full day, would swap), going wherever where it’s helpful to have a single hand fold and toss it in the trunk feature.
