Nuna - SWIV Stroller

We also have a swiv and my only gripe is that it is a bit low and you have to bend a bit to pick baby up. Are there any recommendations for height adaptors?

I guess because I’m short (157cm/5’2) so compared to uppababy where I didn’t have to stoop much I couldn’t feel it with the nuna! Otherwise looking forward to using the nuna swiv I’m sure the 360 will come in very handy

I’m in the same boat!! I just went to look at some today. My brother is giving us their lightly used Graco car seat with a basic click in stroller for quick newborn outings, so I feel better splurging on a nicer stroller for long term as long as it will be versatile. We don’t have a garage or anywhere to store it in our house so I want something that folds very compact. I also want it to have parent facing and world facing options, which limits a lot of the smaller travel type strollers. I’m looking at the Nuna Triv, Nuna Swiv, and Joolz Hub 2 primarily. I was able to go look at the Nunas today along with the Maxi Cosi Tayla, Uppababy Cruz, and Cybex Balios/Melos. They had bugaboo there too but those are more than I’m wanting to spend and the Fox is bigger than I’m wanting anyway. The Nunas weight, folding mechanism, and folded size were FAR superior than any others and I am heavily leaning that direction. It was just so smooth and easy and compact on both of them. The Mixx was gigantic to me and the folded package was cumbersome to deal with. Unfortunately I haven’t been able to find anywhere with Joolz Hub2, but it looks very similar to the Triv and reviews say it’s more durable. The Swiv was ever so slightly bigger than the Triv but felt a little sturdier and less like a travel stroller, and I don’t feel like the extra 1-2 lbs was that big of a deal compared to the trade off you get for more storage basket space and what feels like more durability. However the Triv has more suspension and better wheels for all terrain, so I’m torn on that. The only hesitation I have with Nuna is the way the lady at the store talked about them. She said she herself would never buy one because they aren’t made as well as others of the same price point and the warranty is crap (2 years but limited to things that probably wouldn’t break anyway). She was really pushing the Cybex models but they just didn’t have the same smooth and compact fold and I didn’t like the buckles and seat material as much as the Nunas (the magnetic buckle was awesome). The Joolz Hub2 has a 10 year warranty and it has a toddler ride on board you can attach later on which makes it more versatile than the Nunas in my eyes. Not looking to get a double but having a little bit of flexibility with another kid when making such an expensive purchase feels nice. I just wish I could get my hands on it to compare! I’m almost leaning Joolz just due to the warranty and supposed durability. There’s just not as much info out there about them from people who have bought them. I went to Nordstrom, a local baby store, and Pottery Barn kids, which could be an option where you live! I’m also looking into the bassinet options with the Nuna and Joolz and that’s getting me stuck (nuna is expensive and Joolz doesn’t have a stand to use at home) so I might just opt out of using these strollers with a tiny newborn and just baby wear/use the car seat click on stroller when needed. I think past 4-6 months old these will have a lot of longevity so trying to think long term and not get a bunch of accessories I don’t need. Sorry for the info dump but tried to be detailed since you can’t see them in person!

We tested them all out this weekend and went with the swiv! Essentially paying for the triv but with 360 wheels which will be good for us in a city and tight spaces (plus comes with a few extra accessories). It felt much lighter and less bulky than the Mixx to us and we both have sedans so we needed something that I can easily pop into our trunks. We were also thinking of my mom who will watch baby and what she’d be able to easily lift and use.

I think the biggest conflict you’re going to need to rectify on your list of wants would be the all terrain aspect & lightweight requirement. Typically for lighter weight models the first thing to go are the larger wheels/more substantial undercarriage. We almost settled on two- the nuna swiv & then a yoyo (or an equivalent), but when nuna released the flex system that was light enough with all the bells and whistles to cover our needs. Have you tested any out in person?

The hands down best pram is Nuna SWIV (not triv). It’s carbon fibre and honestly feels sexy to push, as much as it is possible for a pram to feel sexy lol. Perfect for city life, works great on curbs & cobbles and can go off piste in parks as well. Light and easy enough to get in and out of car boot. Perfect amount of space for bags etc in the hold. The Swiv feature honestly really useful for squeezing between tables at cafes and out of lifts. The handle bar swivels for different heights rather than telescopes which I found made it look way better, the bugaboo telescope means that the handle is crazy long when it’s at its maximum length, whereas the Nuna just nicely swivels to a higher angle which looks less rickety. One hand fold with the pushchair is super easy and bassinet is overnight safe. The bugaboo we considered was one hand fold with the bassinet but honestly you only use the bassinet for a few months so this feature didn’t outweigh the other positives of the Nuna for me. Additionally, just so you know, John Lewis will tell you that only certain car seats are compatible with certain pushchairs (for the baby ones that go on pushchair) but they are all compatible. So you can get the 360 maxi cosi and it goes on the Nuna even though this is “off label”. Plus something else to think about with the miniature travel prams like yoyo - a nice big comfy pram means your baby can sleep when you are out and about and you can carry heaps of stuff in the pram. Benefits of being able to fit a pram in overhead luggage also limited - you can push any pram right to the door of the plane no matter how big and then collect on other side, either at door or at luggage belt. I never understood the appeal of trying to find space in overhead for your pram on a crowded flight when you can just leave it at the door! I also have never seen a single other person with it which is super weird considering how good it is!

we have nuna swiv with the pipa urbn car seat for ubers. haven’t navigated subway with it yet, but great in an uber and for taking walks. the swivel feature is a life saver in tight spaces too. also, the pipa car seat is super easy to clip into a car

our LO is two months old, so my experience is limited to that age so far. but in terms of sturdiness, the swiv is very well made, no concerns there. it’s not a tiny stroller, if anything as a second stroller we’d probably get something small to travel with. as for storage, the space seems good so far. we’ve mostly used it with the bassinet, which makes the storage a bit tight to access, but it seems like plenty. i would also recommend going to Nordstrom (columbus circle) to check out strollers, that’s how we made our decision. they have a ton of different models downstairs and seeing them all in person was really helpful. one other selling point for our family, i’m tall and my wife is short. the handle on the swiv can rotate up and down to accommodate our heights easily. with the uppa strollers my wife felt the handles were all too tall. and when telescoped out to fit my height, they felt a bit rickety to me. picking a stroller is hard though, happy hunting!

also, if you buy the bassinet attachment it comes with a stand, basically giving us a second bassinet we can use at home which is super convenient 

no we have the bassinet. it’s super useful with the stand! i mentioned it in a few other comments. having a second bassinet in the living room is pretty helpful for night feeds etc 

yeah we have a bassinet in our bedroom and use the nuna bassinet in the living room, but you could probably get by with just the nuna for a while. pipa car seat is so easy to use in cabs, it’s a great setup

We’re obsessed with our Swiv. We use no other stroller at all and are about to take it on our first trip. It has been our favorite baby purchase and I’d recommend it to anyone. Is it incredibly compact? No. And it doesn’t come with a bassinet so keep that in mind. But benefits far outweigh the negatives for us! It’s still lightweight and the maneuverability is unmatched. And I can do a full grocery trip with it alone!

This was our exact scenario! A heads up that the adaptor isn’t cheap but it was nice to take her on walks!

My husband and I are both quite tall! 5’11 and 6’2. We haven’t found the height of the Swiv an issue! I think bending to get baby is just part of a stroller? I think that’s where they’re supposed to be!

We love the Nuna swiv! Easy for travel/one handed fold, but large enough you can use for walking around town etc. the wheels navigate the small Hoboken shops well!

General consensus is Joolz Aer usurped the yoyo for best lightweight travel stroller that fits in an airplane overhead. Swiv and triv are like light and easy to fold versions of the uppababy cruz. Triv/swiv allow the chair to face backwards towards a part which some people like during the transition out of the bassinet. Other parents don't care going straight to forward facing seats. The new joolz aer has a full recline which means you might be able skip buying a bassinet attachment if you feel comfortable strapping in the newborn. It seems like the hive mind 5 years ago was either yoyo or uppababy cruz. But these days it's definitely joolz aer, but a toss up between uppababy or nuna for the cruz/triv/swiv form factor. Cruz is harder to fold and bigger folded, but more durable. Triv/swiv is smaller folder, lighter, and has a one handed fold at the cost of durability. If you have an elevator building and storage space uppababy seems nice.... But if you need to carry a stroller up stairs in a walk up brownstone the lightweight nuna strollers might be a better option. I have both a swiv and aer+. I like having both for different types of outings. But probably should have gotten a used joolz aer to save money as a travel beater stroller.

I went to a store that had “baby weights”. Originally I loved the Nuna SWIV but the second you put a heavier child in there (25 pounds) you couldn’t use the side by side maneuver and you truly felt the flimsy-ness of the stroller. I’m going with an uppababy Cruz. I feel like Nuna is ok for the newborn stage, so not that long. I’ve heard from multiple ppl their customer service and warranties are bad.
