"The TRVL stroller is light weight, one hand open and close. ... We loved the set so much, especially has big travelers."
"the one button collapse can be done one handed and it can be carried one handed"
"The fold is the best on the market. Literally folds itself and stands up well."

"It has amazing compatibility with the Pipa series car seats and creates a type of cocoon."
"The car seat can be attached to the stroller without any adapters"
"The car seat also clicks into that as well if you want another stroller that’s better for traveling!"

"We’ve traveled hard with it internationally and domestically, and live in an urban area with bumpy sidewalks and a brutal Midwest winter. Zero damage after 2 years of vigorous use."
"We’ve abused ours across 5 countries in 4 months and it doesn’t have a scratch on it. The quality is great."
"is really quite heavy duty so you can treat it as your daily as well as your travel stroller ... it holds up with daily use! ... still going strong as a daily with kid #2"

"you can gate check it and it’s a very very airport friendly stroller ... I have flown solo parenting with a baby at 9 weeks and at 7 months and it was fantastic, easy to wrangle through TSA and it’s sturdy enough for gate checking ... We’ve done about 10 flights with it in 2 years and zero damage"
"We’ve used it as our only stroller for 2 years and have traveled around the world with it several times ... gate checks super well"

"I didn’t listen to her and went solely for the Nuna Trvl. I wish I did listen to her now that baby is here. ... I ended up buying myself (instead of putting it on my registry) the Uppababy Cruz V2. I love this stroller more than the Trvl. It handles more of my day-to-day bs and feels sturdier. It’s great in grass and for quick trips with the car seat attachment."
"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??"
"The Nuna was great if you're on a smooth sidewalk or something ... Joggers are just better with different terrain"

"My Nordstrom rep showed me it’s top heavy with a baby in there. ... It really felt unsteady, like if you hung a heavy purse off the handle it could tip backwards."
"The Triv was purchased after we found out our baby wasn’t ready for the Butterfly yet, he would always cry after like 30 minutes in it as I think he was overwhelmed and wanted to be parent-facing."
"I wouldn’t use these on on baby under 9 months though since they are not parent facing."

"The Nuna unfortunately doesn’t have a large basket."
"the ONLY downside to it imo is the storage bin under the seat is quite small"
"The ONLY thing that could be better about it is the basket is fairly small."

"I think if you don’t need it to fit in an overhead bin, the TRVL is really nice and the self-fold is cool. ... I was set on something fitting in the overhead because I’ve had a couple friends experience their gate-checked stroller being lost or damaged by the airline."
"I tried the Nuna TRVL in store and its a bit sturdier than the Joolz, but I don't believe its small enough to be compliant with airplane overheard compartment so you'd need to check it, so I feel like that defeats the whole purpose"
"too big to take into the cabin"

"I would say the only thing I hate are the straps. ... I think I never learn to use them properly or maybe now that my son is 17 months the seem to be short for him."
TRVL has bigger wheels than the Minu V2, so it should be better over rough ground. The TRVL LX has even bigger wheels of you still want bigger, and still folds compact. The Minu V2 already has bigger wheels than other strollers in its class (Joolz Aer+ and Bugaboo Butterfly), so I don't think either of those would be an improvement in the ride department. The Guzzie & Guzz Oxygen V2 stroller has 6.8 in / 6 in rear/front wheels, respectively, which are also bigger than the Minu's. Another option is the Peg Perego Vivace, which has 7 in wheels and also a reversible seat, but still folds fairly compact. It's around 21 lbs though, so heavier than ultracompacts. The Cybex Beezy (make sure it's the 2024 model, or newer) also has fairly big wheels and folds relatively compact.

r/Buyingforbaby • Compact stroller that rides well ->You may like the Minu if you’re using it a lot. It will fit in the backseat easily and is pretty sturdy for a travel stroller. We have the V2 and it’s nice for using during car based errands. We also have the Trvl and I wouldn’t recommend this one because it gets rickety pretty fast. Can’t speak to the upgraded version as ours is the base version. It’s also bigger when folded than a lot of the others on your list. At least if the base Trvl is still pulling you in, you may want to check out the version from Joie since it’s cheaper.
r/Buyingforbaby • Stuck on travel strollers ->Like someone else said, if you want something that lasts until toddler age, it will be a convertible seat not an infant seat. I’m not a fan of infant seats so we’re going straight to a convertible and getting a stroller with a bassinet mode. Nuna is great, just pricy. I am a big fan but do agree with the other commenter that I need two hands to collapse. The mockingbird is also pretty nice - plenty configurations and compatible with a lot of car seats. I can fold it with one hand and i think it pushes well. If you’re planning on having more kids it’s nice with the ability to add a second seat or have one bassinet and one toddler seat at once.
r/BabyBumps • stroller + car seat recs? esp. Nuna or Doona - FTM feeling overwhelmed ->Uppababy Vista plus Nuna Pipa RX and TRVL. I definitely used the TRVL more for the first 4 months or so. It weighs nothing! I also had a C section and didn’t have any trouble lifting it. I use the Vista for neighborhood walks and longer outings. It’s getting much more use now that baby is sitting up and super alert.
r/BabyBumps • Please just tell me what stroller to buy ->I knew we would want to do a lot with our kid and wasn’t sure if I should get one stroller to “do it all” or multiple with specific purposes in mind. We ended up getting two, one small super lightweight and one large jogging stroller and I’m so glad we did. The lightweight Nuna Trvl is perfect for the grocery store, coffee shop, mall etc and our jogger (Thule urban glide) is amazing for all our outdoor trips, walks in the park, etc. Instead of having one middle ground, I’m so glad we have two very different options that work for our specific wants. Also we got both on sale so it worked out. The urban glide 2 we got at an REI garage sale for only $280!
r/NewParents • Strollers - what did you wish you knew before you bought? ->Thanks for the update! That’s the one I’m leaning towards. I have the single nuna trvl and I love it.
r/2under2 • Nuna Trvl Dubl Stroller ->We used the Nuna trvl stroller. It super lightweight and goes almost completely flat for baby to lay down. We started using it when he was around 3 months old. We bought a head support pillow to use with it until he was 6 months old. Personally I would probably baby wear until baby was a bit bigger. Not sure I would have been comfortable using it when he was a newborn. We had a different stroller that fit his car seat when he was little but I found it way too big to fit in the car. Couldn’t get grocery’s in with the stroller which is why we switched to Nuna and I love it. It so light and easy to use. Should also add that I had a big baby. He’s 99% for both height and weight. We stopped using the bucket seat because he was so big and I wasn’t going to buy another huge stroller system with a bassinet for a few month of use.
r/BabyBumps • Lightweight strollers useable from birth without a car seat? ->We love our nuna trvl. It’s lightweight and my almost 40 lb 14 month old is still comfortable.
r/bigbabiesandkids • Light weight travel stroller ->The nuna trvl with a pipa is elite - see if you can get the stroller on marketplace or something!
r/Buyingforbaby • Travel Stroller ->I’d do the nuna trvl with the bassinet attachment and the nuna pipa capsule, the bassinet and capsules just click in super easily, that way you get all the benefits of those and can transition to the regular stroller whenever you want. It lies flat too so you can do that from birth.
r/Buyingforbaby • Travel Stroller from birth ->I do too! I have an Uppababy Vista as my daily driver and the single Nuna Trvl for traveling. I actually had forgotten that I’d checked out the single Minu in person when I got the single Trvl and had vastly preferred Nuna! I’ll be getting rid of my Vista travel system soon once my younger son is out of the Mesa.
r/2under2 • Nuna Trvl Dubl Stroller ->I have a Nuna Triv, and I'm so happy with it. You can steer it with one hand, it has actual wheels (not the plastic garbage), so it can handle a good bit of terrain. It folds easily and is lightweight, so its easy to get in and out of the car. Fits in the xray machine at US airports. I used the Nuna Pipa Rx, and was so thankful that it was only 6lbs - baby gets heavy very quickly! My son is 19 months old and I still love my stroller.
