Doona - Car Seat & Stroller (Doona+)

I absolutely love our Doona for car travels. I take Uber pretty frequently and it’s just so easy for in and outs. I also traveled across the country and it was sooo handy in the airport! I found it heavy in the very beginning but I actually think I’ve gotten stronger since then because it’s easier for me to lift now. we were lucky enough to get ours for free so that is also a plus; we could never have afforded it with the hefty price tag

I loved it for traveling. Also amazed a couple pilots when I was collapsing it at the gate for them to check. It was perfect because my trip involved car rentals, car shares and flying. That said it is pricey so if you could borrow one for travel that would be the way. It’s my every day stroller though.

We got gifted one and really like it. It is our on the go stroller

Honestly surprised at how many people are upset by the height. I’m 5’7 and have zero issue. It’s extremely convenient when running errands, especially with ny toddler in tow. IMO the biggest downside is that it’s damn heavy, but since it doubles as a stroller, the only time I’m carrying it is into the house. All that said, we bought from a trusted secondhand source, so didn’t have the hefty price tag.

We live in the City and Doona has been awesome!

Doona for travel/errands until they size out, then bugaboo butterfly for travel. Uppababy vista for every day.

We had the Doona and it’s one of our top 5 baby items. Incredibly convenient for quick car rides/errands and the best baby product for travel. Literally no cons except that our 99th percentile baby grew out of it around 12-13mo. I am SO sad that we can no longer use it.

I was skeptical because I’m 5’11 and knew I would be having a 2nd c-section but I decided to give it a try because I found it at a steep discount during the Nordstrom Sale and I absolutely love it! I was able to load it in the car pretty easily post c-section and it’s super handy especially with having a toddler to herd as well. My only complaint is that it takes up a ton of room in a shopping cart but in reality, my previous infant carrier took up most of the cart as well.

Fantastic product! But if you're active/sporty you'll probably need a second bigger/rugged stroller. The Doona is a brilliant piece of engineering. Seamless transitioning from driving to walking. You don't need to detach a stroller and put it in the trunk. Excellent modular base to clip into. But also easy to use with seatbelt in other cars/taxis. Amazing for global travel. The main thing about the slight extra weight is that you literally lift it out of car and release the wheels below. The lift should be for about 3 feet. Seemed pricey when I first looked at it. Now I think it was one of our best purchases. The negatives are that it has small wheels and no suspension. (This is a lightweight urban/travel solution). So if you like to walk/hike/run on loose surfaces it's not going to work. For these activities we bought a Thule Glide. It also has no storage by default. So you'll want the clip on essentials bag for diapers etc. and the clip on backpack for airplane travel.

No, that thing is a monster. Add a kid, and you have like 40 lbs to carry with one arm twisted. It's also more manual than you'd hope. Lasts a year max if you don't have a large bebe. But! If your back is 100% super duper and you're incredibly fit and under 5'2"ish, it works great!

I LOVED it. We live in a very dense city and didn’t have a car when my son was small. It was awesome for navigating tight spaces and for use on public transportation and Ubers. I wouldn’t recommend it for a more suburban lifestyle.
