Nuna - TRVL lx Stroller

I travel a lot for work & we walk a lot when home so we went for the Nuna trvl LX (it works from birth to ~5, and folds easily and nicely with one hand) and the pipa urbn seat because it adapts for all vehicles. When he outgrows car seat we’ll do the Cosco nxt for travel Edit if helpful: our heights are about same as you two

See that’s confusing because I also tried both in store and felt that the Nuna was sturdier.

I did not go with Uppababy because my friend had it and it was huge. I am 5’ 2” and on the go a lot and wanted luxury but not giant. I initially went with the Cybex Priam but it also felt very large lugging in and out of the car by myself. The way it doesn’t technically latch made it awkward to maneuver. We were doing some traveling so I got a Cybex Libelle for the fold but it wasn’t great for under 1 because it didn’t lay flat for nap, so then we tried the Cybex Coya. We took it on to vacation in Hawaii and I LOVED the fold and look, but the seat doesn’t sit fully upright (similar to Bugaboo Butterfly) so my son hated sitting in it. We then bought the Nuna TRVL LX - different than regular TRVL and we love it! It has a one hand fold, decent size basket, nice sturdy bar and lays flat for nap time. I wish I would have purchased this one from the get go for my on the go/trvl stroller since the nuna car seats pop right on it for infants. Given I realized how important size is, if I were to do this all over again… I would have gone with a Nuna Triv OR Cybex Gazelle as my luxury stroller for something with a bassinet and then the TRVL LX for our on the go stroller.

Both strollers recline and are newborn compatible. Are you planning on connecting a car seat? One thing to consider is that the Nuna one appears to only be compatible with Nuna car seats, while the Minu is compatible with Uppababy, Nuna, Cybex, Clek and Maxi-Cosi depending which adapter you buy, so much more flexible with car seats The Minu V3 is much smaller when folded and will fit in an airplane (10x18x21.5, ) The nuna is much bigger folded (27x14x21). Similar overall weights - both 15-17 lbs depending on equipment Minu has a much larger basket, which is even more useful if this is a daily use stroller. Minu is meaningfully cheaper - 500 vs 600 in the US, not sure about your country I would buy the Minu

Well then you have your answer. If you tried both and you strongly prefer the Nuna then you know what you should do. All the "on paper" specs won't tell you which one you'd enjoy more Personally I have the Minu V3 and have no issues with the fold, but obviously YMMV and everyone's experience is different. The trick with unfolding is letting gravity do most of the work then just clicking it in lol Do note the airplane and car seat differences though. Make sure those aren't big priorities of yours. * If you want to use a car seat with the Nuna you will need the Nuna car seat, * You will for sure have to check it on planes, while the Minu can technically fly carry on (though sometimes they make you check it anyway)

We had a similar debate and got the nuna TRVL LX because it is lay flat and can be used for newborns / from birth. I really liked the uppababy mini v3 but it can’t, and I believe it is starting at 3 months only (newborn capable in the car seat with attachment).

I do think a small, one-handed fold travel stroller is a must for the city. I’m a first time mom but from what I’ve seen around, people have all the popular options, and it seems like you can’t go wrong - Joolz Aer, yoyo, minu, nuna trvl, bugaboo butterfly. We have the butterfly because we wanted one that would fit in the overhead bin on a plane. Not all do. We tried to do without a travel stroller and just rock our big stroller (bugaboo fox) with the bassinet attachment, great wheels and suspension, big under basket but caved and got a travel stroller too. The big one is so comfortable for long walks but impossible for subway or to pack up in the trunk for drives. And it only works for us to have because we never unfold it - we have a space in our building that’s easy to store it so it’s not just out in our living room all the time. So I’d say get the travel stroller and whatever infant attachment/insert works with it but wait on a second stroller until you know how much space you’ll have.

We have the Nuna TRVL LX and love it. The fold is what convinced me! It’s super lightweight and literally folds with a single click basically by itself, it also comes with its own carrying bag which is nice. The day we bought it I folded and unfolded it in like 5 seconds one handed like a 100 times and felt like a magician making it disappear and reappear🤣. We’re planning on using it as our primary stroller, The weight limit on the under stroller storage basket claims to only be 10 pounds, but my giant 22 pound bengal cat routinely sleeps in it and it hasn’t damaged it at all lol.

Nuna Travel LX is a lifesaver. So easy to push around and light.

We have an Uppababy Cruz at home and we take the bus twice a week with our 8 month old. Realized it was such a pain so we purposely bought the Nuna Travel LX which helped so much! We take the M15 which has the stroller spots on the bus. You might want to think about buying a travel stroller. Much easier to navigate on the busses. Give yourself ample time. If you can, travel during off peak times.

We love the trvl lx!

We did the Nuna Trvl LX with Nuna Urbn as our combo travel system and it’s been really nice, overall a great purchase and I would recommend. It has the largest wheels and best suspension you’ll find in any travel stroller, quick one hand fold, lightweight. But it is still a gate check at the airport. It’s not perfect, you definitely make compromises with any travel stroller, but I have a tiny trunk and it fits well and has been nice for quick errands. That said - we have a lot of other strollers too for other purposes! - Bob Revolution jogger is our go-to for bumpy terrain and trails, gravel, etc. - I bought the Doona for international travel, we took our 5 month old to Switzerland. She ended up really liking to take walks in it, but I HATED it for regular purposes and quickly sold it because I found it to be a huge PITA. - we also have a very old (cheap FB marketplace purchase) Bugaboo Frog that we got for the bassinet for walks when she was little. It was really nice to have and we did use it quite a bit, but I also babywear a lot for walks when they’re small. I do not think a travel stroller can do it all. I think a travel stroller & jogger is a nice combo, or if you truly only want one stroller, you should probably consider the Cruz or similar.
