"It also fits into the overhead compartment for flights!"
"I was able to carry it up and down the 2 flights of stairs to my apartment within 2 weeks of my cesarean which I think says a lot!"
"All of the strollers I just listed fit in the overhead bin of an airplane"

"It’s also the only one I found that had a true one hand open/close."
"is really easy to fold one-handed (which is a lifesaver when juggling bags or a squirmy kid)"
"I used it many times flying solo with my little one all the way up to the gate. ... I could hold him and still fold the stroller one handed."

"Lightweight and indestructible because we travel and between me and the airlines, our gear gets treated like deep fried trash."
"Hands down we used and still use the bugaboo butterfly. ... We also like to travel and we used to travel with my daughter when she was a newborn every 2 weeks for a medical condition that required going out of state."
"Baby Jogger City Tour 2 has been in use for travel since my baby was 8 months old. She’s now 4 and we still use it. Not joking, probably 60+ flights- from beaches to cobble stones to Disney."

"complete travel system with carseat that can snap on super easily ... Nuna pipa urbn carseat is only sold with Nuna stroller, and I love that it’s baseless and super easy to to install for rideshares using LATC system ... I do love some of the Nuna features, as well as the car seat that goes with it. ... I do really like the Nuna Pipa urbn car seat, which is only compatible with the TRVL - it’s super easy to pop into the stroller and (usually) into the car. (I don’t own a car so it was important that I had something I could easily use with ride shares / other cars.)"
"We also traveled with it (babe is now 4.5 months) and having a car seat that easily latches in without having to also bring a base is GREAT."
"It has amazing compatibility with the Pipa series car seats and creates a type of cocoon."

"can recline flat for newborn (although I’d prob want to wait a little) ... I got the TRVL LX, which has the ability to fully recline into a makeshift bassinet. That was nice, since I didn’t need an add-on bassinet or an attached car seat to have baby sleep in stroller during newborn phase. ... I love the ... full recline of the TRVL LX (no need to add a bassinet attachment for newborn phase) ... When I take my baby out, I’ll usually use the TRVL LX’s bassinet (not a separate bassinet, but full recline that’s safe for newborns). I actually felt more comfortable doing that than having him stay in a carseat for extended periods."
"Then there are 3 positions, one being almost all the way back (so baby is basically laying down) so if you have a young baby, or a baby that likes laying down (like my baby did) then it is perfect!"
"I love it because you can use it from birth. ... The seat turns into a little bassinet type thing."

"The minu v3 is technically infant compatible but I personally would not use it with an infant. ... You can’t make them parent facing and it’s not fully flat"
"my gal decided she hated facing out so ended up adding a Cruz. ... Still likes facing me at almost 2, so still don’t use Minu."
"I originally got a Minu V2 bc I wanted just one stroller, but that only faces out. ... my kid would want to face me instead of look outward. She would just cry and get overwhelmed. Still likes seeing me at 18 months."

"it wasn’t great for travel (we got the Uppababy travel bag but you had to remove the back wheels to fit in, and it’s too big for the overhead compartment on the plane) ... so much so that I have no confidence that I would be able to travel with baby alone without my husband"
"It doesn’t fit in the overhead compartment, so you have to gate check it. ... Even to gate check it with the official Uppababy travel bag, you have to take the back wheels off for it to fit (not a big deal if you have another adult with you, but can’t imagine doing that alone while wrangling baby)."
"The Uppababy Minu is a horrible travel stroller, when there are so many better options out there. ... I have the V2 - it doesn’t fit in the overhead bin so you have to gate check."

"The handlebar is at a fixed height and cannot be adjusted up and down, and the canopy when pulled back rubs up against it and it is NOT a pleasant sensation on your hands. There’s no avoiding it."
"The Babyzen and City brands don’t really have much adjustment capacity for the the steering handle, so if you’re too tall or too short it may be extremely uncomfortable for you to use something if you need to constantly hunch over."
"the handlebars ... were wobbly"

"boy is it a nightmare to maneuver it on cobblestones"
"I will say it’s not the best at going over bumps in the road though ... it’s kind of equally frustrating and hilarious though when we get stuck on some small bumps 😂 like why can’t this $500 stroller handle city sidewalks??"
"It’s not great on snow / rough terrain (as I just discovered)"

"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. ... 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 ... ultimately you’ll need a convertible seat at some point around 5-6 months, depending on how quickly your LO grows."
"hated it. I genuinely don’t get the hype. She also was trying to sell it because of the short usage window"
"a very low back, which became uncomfortable as my child got bigger ... Grew out of it before even turning one"
Got the Nuna Triv next because it was supposed to be lightweight without compromising features. I hated it. Hate the fold. Hate that it doesn’t stay folded/flops open all the time. Hate the stupid buckles that always get twisted. It was heavy/bulky to me. Getting it in and out of my car just pissed me off. Got the butterfly 2 and am so much happier. Is it as smooth as ride as the triv? Nope but my baby could not care less. If you value easy, one handed fold and a lightweight, well-thought out design (the buckles are so much easier!) get the butterfly.
r/Buyingforbaby • Anyone just have a travel stroller? ->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.
r/BabyBumps • How did you choose a stroller and car seat? ->The Nuna Trvl is a travel stroller and probably the best one there is. Ours is built like a freaking tank. One handed folding/opening amazes everyone when they see it. We don’t use the travel case anymore when we gate check it. One month shy of 3 years with it too.
r/toddlers • Travel to Europe with 11 month Old. Stroller Car Seat Question ->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!
r/BabyBumps • Overwhelmed by stroller options ->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
r/BuyItForLife • Stroller Recommendations ->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
r/BabyBumps • Please just tell me what stroller to buy ->See that’s confusing because I also tried both in store and felt that the Nuna was sturdier.
r/Buyingforbaby • Uppababy Minu V3 or Nuna TRVL LX for everyday stroller? ->I ended up selling my ergo baby metro plus because it ended up being so clunky and the canopy clicked so loud when you put it out that it would wake up my sleeping baby! I sold it and bought the nuna trvl, sometimes you can find it on a good sale or marketplace!
r/Buyingforbaby • Travel Stroller - Analysis Paralysis ->Uppababy Vista with bassinet. Nuna Pipa Aire. $50 conversion piece to allow you to clip the Nuna seat into UB stroller. Best combo ever. Then if you have a second baby, you just need to grab an additional rumble seat for the UB once they’re older. If you need a travel stroller, LOVEEEE the Nuna TRVL.
r/BabyBumps • Please just tell me what stroller to buy ->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.
