Nuna - PIPA urbn + TRIV next Travel System

I tried them both in person and decided on the Nuna Triv Next. It was lighter, easier to manage, less bulky, one handed fold, able to gate check. We are also using the bassinet - the Uppababy bassinet was trickier for me and less intuitive and the stand showed scuffs easier. My partner really liked the storage under the Nuna Lytl bassinet

I will sing the praises of the nuna triv next from the rooftops. I love that thing. We had an uppababy vista because we were planning for 2 under 2 and sold it a month after baby was here. Baby hated it, we hated it, it was clunky and bulky and not at all suited for our lifestyle. The nuna triv next has been amazing. We use it almost every day.

We use a Nuna Triv Next. It checked all of our boxes as our single stroller… it’s pretty small and light!

Are there any stores you can visit to try out strollers? It really does help to zip around with them in person. I have a Nuna Triv Next and I love it. I live on a second floor, accessed by stairs. This stroller rides smoothly and is lightweight, folds flat by simply lifting the handle (no buttons or levers), and is easy to push. I have taken it through winter snow and over bumpy ice without problem. I live in a metropolitan city and the stroller can definitely handle janky sidewalks and squeezing past people in narrow spots.  There is a bassinet attachment, but in Canada (where I live) it's not available for sale. You can skip that by using a Nuna car seat as the seat until the child can sit up and use the regular stroller seat. Any Nuna Pipa car seat will fit it, and you don't need to buy any extra attachment for it. 

Seconding the Nuna triv for a lightweight stroller with parent facing option. The seat reclines all the way too. It's not as light as some true travel strollers but is the lightest one I found that parent faces. We recently took ours abroad and it worked well for traveling

I also live on the 3rd floor and there is no elevator in my building. For me, the MOST important thing about our stroller has been it being lightweight and if I had to go back in time and buy it again that would be my number 1 priority. If you don't have an elevator, I would suggest you narrow stroller options to a list of the top 5 lightest options you can afford and go from there.  We got a Nuna Triv Next (on the pricier side, a family member gave us money specifically for a travel system) as it is lightweight but there are even more lightweight ones which I would consider if I were going back in time.  Once you've narrowed them down to lightweight options which are affordable for you, then compare them based on what else is important to you.  With the stairs and no elevator, I would say next important is how easily it folds and whether/how easily you can carry baby in part of it up the stairs whilst carrying the other part. For us, the bassinet part of the Nuna clicks out easily and I can then fold down the wheel section very easily and have worked out how to carry both at once. This is where something like the Yo-yo or Joolz Aer+ would be even lighter and easier. I think Joolz Aer+ even has a special shoulder strap for carrying!  Then I'd consider things like  - what sort of surfaces will you be using it on (eg off-road, bumpy pavements/sidewalks etc Vs smooth surfaces and shopping malls) - some of the very lightweight prams have wheels with less good suspension. For us that's what swayed us to the Nuna Vs Yo-yo or Joolz Aer - although they were lighter, we wanted wheels that could cope with city centre but also off road for when we escaped into the countryside.  - storage: do you need to be able to fold it all down and store in a very small space in your home? Or do you have space for it to stay up? Etc. if you need it to fold right down the Yo-yo would be a good option as it can fold WITH THE BASSINET ON IT!  - longevity: how long you want to be able to use it for. Do you need it from Newborn? (you'll need either a bassinet attachment or the seat will need to recline to fully flat) Are you planning to have multiple children with a small age gap and therefore it is worth getting a stroller which has the ability to turn into a 2-seater in the future?  - other lifestyle things such as will you be flying a lot and want something that can go in and overhead locker? (Very few options out there so if this is important to you, this will narrow down the field significantly.) Again Yo-yo can do this.  But start with looking for the lightweight options and go from there :) Hope this helps!  Edited to change "lift" to "elevator" for clarity in the post (I'm from the UK and default to saying "lift"!) 

I was reading this thread and i was gonna recommend the triv being seeing this update lol. The triv is amazing! Also got a yoyo for travels :)

These comments made me like my Nuna Triv even more! Also have a yoyo for air travels😅

Triv is the answer 👍

I ended up getting nuna triv

We really like our Nuna Pipa car seat either Triv Next stroller. Of all the combos, the Triv Next seemed like the best balance of being lightweight/compact with a one hand fold, modular including bassinet option and world/parent facing, and being general full featured. The main features it doesn’t have a fully flat recline (which can be solved by using the infant car seat or bassinet option), and it can’t convert to be a double stroller (which we decided we’d rather buy a new double stroller that works best for us whenever that time comes).

We’re obsessed with our Triv Next!

I highly recommend going to a baby store and test them out. There are a ton of factors that I never even thought about that influenced which setup I went with and having knowledgeable staff to help direct the conversation was huge. Stuff like having a parent facing option vs just world facing, how big it is folded (ex if it fits in your trunk), if you need to carry it up stairs, if you need it to convert to a double stroller some day, etc. I originally thought I could get away with a compact stroller but ended up going with the TRIV next with pipa air and bassinet. If you're in or near NYC, I highly recommend going to albee Baby on the upper west side (I believe Neiman Marcus also has displays though). The staff were super knowledgeable. Even if you don't buy it there they'll help you decide, but if you do buy it there they give you 20% off (as opposed to on the website where you get points for a future purchase equivalent to 20% off). Another alternative is to ask chat gpt... Lol
