"The Doona is amazingly convenient ... for travelling/quick trips that involve getting from point A to point B"
"It’s excellent for travel to avoid bringing out hefty stroller and so we just check one piece and not a car seat and stroller base."
"Easy to pop into random Ubers."

2manyteacups 0.2i love my Doona, for my babies first year i had to commute to work with him so it was a real lifesaver. i also used it when i traveled cross country to visit family. i still use it for short trips and if he needs to nap! ours was free from a friend and i cried when my husband brought it home
Background-Still2020 0.2The Doona. It’s amazing that first year.
BedCapable1135 0.2We hired the doona from tinyexplorers at that age for a holiday to Turkey. Our hotel was about an hour from the airport so didn't want to rely on the car seats provided by the transfer company. I think it was about £60 for the week? We received a brand new one which was excellent but I don't think that's common! We checked it in at the plane door. It was a bit scuffed up by the end of our holiday but the company never said anything. Just boxed it up and dropped it off to the post office.
We rented the doona for the week when we went to Turkey. Baby was only 4 months at the time so worked perfectly. We were at a resort so didn't really need a sturdy pushchair. Now baby's older, no idea what we'll do. I asked my SIL this and she said they just hold baby in taxis, etc which seems terrifying to me.
Brave_Alps1364 0.2I got a Doona to make my life easy until I absolutely need something bigger. It’s amazing!
Bredlr 0.2Are you willing to carry around your car seat and possibly stroller all day? I went on trip lugging both around, it was such a hassle that I eventually rented the Doona overseas. You could consider renting the Doona just for your trip too. My baby is around your baby’s length and it was only slightly cramped. (Our longest car ride was 1 hour, it wasn’t that bad for baby.)
Business-Wallaby5369 0.2Doona!!!!!!!! Especially if you travel. You don’t need anything extra.
My kids lasted to a year. It depends on how long your babies are.
Character_Dust_2792 0.2CPST here- do not get a doona for a 10 month old. Get a Chicco fit2 with a chicco frame stroller. You’ll get a year of use from it. And it’s a better car seat and a better stroller.
The doona is hard to install correctly and most people do it wrong. I’ve installed it at least 50 times, never once have I seen a family install it correctly. It has no storage so people attach stuff to it which is unsafe. The Chicco frame stroller has a huge storage basket. Also the fit2 is outgrown at 35 inches, the doona is outgrown at 32 inches. Without knowing how tall this child is, there’s a far lower chance of the seat being too small if they go with the higher limit seat.
cooooper2217 0.2Personally I loved it until I found out it’s full of flame retardants😭
corgimonmaster 0.2Keep in mind the weight of the Doona. I was a hard no once I realized it was 17 pounds. My baby was a 99 percentile newborn, and it would've been 27-28 lbs total. There's no way I would've been able to lift the Doona out of my car with the baby in it until maybe 3 months postpartum (I had an unplanned C-section so my recovery was maybe more challenging than it might be for others).
cutieconsultant 0.2Doona was a perfect car seat for travel! Baby loved it and slept so well on the plane. Husband loved the car seat and stroller combo feature (his 6’4” butt did not love how short the stroller was) It’s a great car seat and a great SECONDARY stroller. We use our Uppababy Vista for daily use and the doona was great for travel/secondary use. Now we use the Minu for travel stroller and WayB Pico for car seat
