Nuna - TRVL lx Stroller

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

See that’s confusing because I also tried both in store and felt that the Nuna was sturdier.

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.

We have the Nuna TRVL LX and love it. The fold is what convinced me! It’s super lightweight and literally folds with a single click basically by itself, it also comes with its own carrying bag which is nice. The day we bought it I folded and unfolded it in like 5 seconds one handed like a 100 times and felt like a magician making it disappear and reappear🤣. We’re planning on using it as our primary stroller, The weight limit on the under stroller storage basket claims to only be 10 pounds, but my giant 22 pound bengal cat routinely sleeps in it and it hasn’t damaged it at all lol.

Nuna Travel LX is a lifesaver. So easy to push around and light.

We have an Uppababy Cruz at home and we take the bus twice a week with our 8 month old. Realized it was such a pain so we purposely bought the Nuna Travel LX which helped so much! We take the M15 which has the stroller spots on the bus. You might want to think about buying a travel stroller. Much easier to navigate on the busses. Give yourself ample time. If you can, travel during off peak times.

We love the trvl lx!

NYC walk up resident here. If you plan on taking any public transit at all with the stroller you’ll need something light. I have the 2nd smallest nuna (Triv) and honestly still struggle with stairs when alone. If stairs and transit are not part of your day, or your city actually has transit that’s accessible, you’re fine going heavier. You may also consider 2 strollers. One full size and one travel. Consider second hand as well for whichever you’ll use less.

We tried out the Nuna TRVL LX and the folding mechanism is excellent and it’s very light. We ultimately went with a slightly more full featured Nuna model for our daily stroller, but the TRVL LX would be amazing for travel. In addition to Albee Baby, the Nordstrom flagship near Columbus circle also has all the models out to test drive!

Don’t get the TRVL lx. Even though it has a far softer suspension better suited to everyday use than the Minu v3, It has one incredibly annoying feature that makes it a no go. 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.

We have a nuna trvl lx - I like it, it’s lightweight and it’s comfy, and I use it everyday. We also travelled with it and it looked sturdy. The only thing I didn’t like in the beginning is that the “almost flat” feature means that you can’t really use it until maybe 3-4 months, and it’s not front facing, so you can’t actually see your baby - which is fine, when they’re older cause they’re too curious and they want to see what’s out there, but for me it made me feel anxious when he was smaller.

The seat doesn’t come off or rotate to parent-facing, and the front wheels I believe were plastic instead of rubber (not sure if they still are). Parent-facing is really about personal preference… I liked it but it’s not a must have. Sometimes I wished I had a stroller like this where I could have both the seat and the car seat at the same time (for the extra canopy coverage and convenience of not having to carry the stroller seat separately). I would say also look at the Nuna TRVL LX if you’re interested in the Tavo!

If you can wait until the Nordstrom anniversary sale starts in a few days, the Stokke Yoyo3 and Nuna TRVL will both be on sale. I would expect maybe the Aer+ will go on sale soon too but I was annoyed about the Aer2 not being out here yet so I got the Yoyo3 instead.

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 also wanted it to fit behind a seat in the car because we have limited cargo space on roadtrips. The Yoyo fold takes some getting used to, but I absolutely love how small and lightweight it is, and I used the heck of out the seat back pockets lol. It pushes really nice and is narrow so fits anywhere! It’s small yet sturdy enough to hang bags on the handle. The basket is small and awkward but holds a lot of weight (just not a large diaper bag). They made the seat sit more upright in the Yoyo3 (and in the TRVL) which won’t matter much for you now but might when you have a toddler who wants to sit up and look around! I think the Joolz is honestly a fabulous stroller, if it had been on sale I’d probably have bought it. I just couldn’t stand paying $500 for the older model. The fold and unfold is easy and flawless from what I can tell.
