If you’re reading this you probably saw or heard of this “amazing car seat that converts into a stroller”. I get it, Doona is incredibly trendy in the US at the moment.
Many celebrities are using it (which the company is promoting heavily) so people easily get talked into having one as well. They’re also great with their marketing campaigns, so influencers are also loving Doona.
If you read my other reviews you know by now that they’re unfiltered, non-sponsored and more than whether I like the product or not, so I will go into different aspects of the trendy Doona here as well (probably way too much you might need to know) 😉
However, as another trendy brand Uppababy has proved to us before – trendy doesn’t always mean good, even despite a hefty price tag. Or safe, like in the case of a popular item Dock-a-Tot, which is heavily promoted on every American registry but it’s unsafe for sleeping and this is why it’s actually banned in Canada.
Before anyone asks, Doona is actually banned in Canada as well because the angle of the car seat is not adjustable and hence considered unsafe according to Canadian standards. Don’t even try to sneak it through the border – it’s subject to a ton of fines and voided insurance.
Doona is also not a non-toxic car seat, which I actually found out later and it adds to its cons – I explain more in the article under cons.
Is Doona Stroller Worth It?
I’ll be real. It didn’t cross my mind to get the Doona with the first baby because I automatically disregarded it due to the price and the fact it’s a car seat and the baby shouldn’t be in it for long periods of time.
A year and a half later many friends tried to talk me into getting a Doona because it’s convenient. I think quite often it’s worth paying for the convenience if your time and patience are limited, especially with two kids, I began researching the Doona more and more.
The more I researched, the more I realized that Doona is a product that was designed with a good idea of not having to carry your car seat around, but consumers often misinterpreted it.
Lots of you are asking if Doona is a good stroller for NYC and the answer is: absolutely not.
While it is convenient and hence why so many people think it’s worth it, Doona is not a stroller and shouldn’t be used as a stroller for walks. The more I talked to actual doctors and people who know what they’re talking about (not just random consumers), the more I realized that Doona surely isn’t a must-have and whether you want it or not depends on your lifestyle.
For some it might be worth it, for others, it might not be. However, you should know all the facts before making your decision.
Either way, these days there’s a better similar car seat & stroller combo on the market called Evenflo DualRide – it basically has everything Doona doesn’t offer and more, so if you really think that you MUST HAVE the car seat stroller then I recommend going for it over Doona.
Can Doona Be Your Only Stroller for the First Year?
I think whether you should get Doona or not depends on where you live for sure, but also there are several things to consider for the sake of your baby’s health.
Most importantly, Doona should NOT be your only stroller for your baby because it’s NOT a stroller. It’s meant to be used as a car seat, in and out of the car for quick trips, but you shouldn’t be rolling around your baby in Doona for walks or in the city.
I found so many reviews saying “we just use it to roll the baby around the house because it’s convenient” – every sane pediatrician would cringe at this. It’s very unhealthy for infants under 4 months who should have limited time in the car seat. The official recommendation is 2 hours in the 24-hour cycle, but the less the better and newborns under 4 weeks newborns should spend 30 minutes a day at a maximum in a car seat).
I am aware that in the US it’s pretty common for infants to roll around in their car seats everywhere, but it doesn’t mean that it’s safe or good for babies. Many people naively disregard it as gossip, but babies die every year due to extended periods of time in their car seats. It can not only block their airways but it’s also very bad for their spines in the long term, so please keep this in mind. (It also applies to sleeping in baby swings).
It increases the risk of SIDS due to the fact that oxygen saturation levels (the amount of oxygen in your blood) are lower when children are in child car seats, many parents claim “my child slept in a car seat and is fine” – sure, deaths are rare, but reduced oxygen can lead to other issues in the future.
In Europe, it’s pretty common knowledge not to stuff your babies in car seats and bassinets are a way to go – hence why Doonas are approved but not very popular at all because it’s just a car seat (and quite frankly, car seat choice are way better and much more lightweight in Europe).
In fact, when I did a poll on my own social channels about which car seat I should get I received a ton of messages from people telling me why Doona is not a good idea at all. It’s something people just know. (Ironically, I know a similar thing happened to a pretty popular European influencer/photographer who said he’s never seen so many people advocating against a product – with the product being Doona and he ended up getting a Babyzen Yoyo instead.)
I know some friends who took their Doonas to the supermarket in the UK and were asked by strangers why are they destroying their infants’ health and putting them at risk. Rolling babies around in a car seat, whether it’s a Doona or anything clipped to your stroller is considered insanity.
This brings me to the next point: is Doona safe?
Is Doona Car Seat Safe?
There’s no denying that Doona is safe if used as a car seat and exclusively as a car seat and not a stroller. If you plan on rolling with it all day then no, unfortunately, it’s not safe (explained above).
It’s an approved car seat, so if you buy it directly from their website or approved retailer (eg. Magic Beans or BuyBuyBaby) you can be sure that your baby will be safe in it.
Why am I insisting on an approved retailer? Simply because there have been fake Doona 4-1 car seats on Amazon just last year and these car seats were not safe. They had nothing to do with the original Doona car seat. Sadly, as a former Amazon seller I know too well how easily regulations can be bypassed for Amazon so it doesn’t surprise me that the fake Doonas sneaked into Amazon.
Is Doona the safest car seat on the market? Sadly, it’s not. In case you didn’t know, to meet federal safety standards, a car seat is strapped to the center of a bench seat, which is then projected rearward to simulate a frontal crash of 30 mph (and let’s be real – that’s pretty slow). For more detailed rankings, you can look to independent crash test reports from trusted sources, including Consumer Reports.
Doona actually performs WAY below average in terms of head injuries (which makes sense for small babies because the head can get wobbly with little side cushioning), and it doesn’t get to the top 10 car seats on the US market in terms of safety. It has terrible ratings actually compared to other car seats on the market.
Flying with Doona Car Seat
Doona is FAA-approved and can be taken on the plane. Yay! But…
Doona is 17.3″ wide, which makes it too wide to fly and won’t be allowed on some planes on various airlines. It includes some Alaska Airlines aircrafts, some from American Airlines, Southwest, and various others.
As it’s an infant seat, also often called a bucket seat, it’s naturally meant to be strapped rear-facing and it’s not meant to be used front-facing, which makes it not allowed on various non-US airlines. Most airlines allowed approved car seats, but they MUST be secured rear-facing for take off and landing, but then turned forward-facing in order not to block the recline.
In the case of Doona, it is not possible which makes it:
- ineligible on Air France, British Airways and KLM as it cannot be turned forward safely
- You can use it on Emirates if your baby is under 6 months old and not older and you must be seated on bulkhead seats only.
- You can use it on Etihad only if your baby is under 6 months old and only in Business or First class (not in Economy)
- Too wide for Asiana airlines and rear-facing cannot be used at all
Pros of Doona Stroller
Convenience
The biggest advantage of the Doona is that you don’t have to carry it out of the car. You just pop the wheels and seconds and boom – you can roll with it.
Once you know what you’re doing it’s easy to use. It naturally also has a break so the whole thing won’t roll away from you.
The stroller has a push and pull-on mode, but I honestly don’t know when would you ever need to pull your infant behind you in a car seat.
Washable Cushioning
Doona has fantastic washable cushions and a water-repellant canopy that offers UPF 50+ sun protection. The fact that it’s all washable is great because it’s not the case with all car seats.
However, I must say that lots of more experienced people mention that despite the extra cushioning the car seat offers less side protection. As I naturally have no resources to perform reliable crash tests I simply cannot comment on it, but will link some here in case anyone wants to see the results.
The included head support is also washable which is great for spit-ups, but I feel like it gets too snug for older babies and offers not enough protection for newborns.
There’s also a removable infant insert for babies up to 11 pounds.
Cons of Doona
Price
This one is quite obvious – for $599 with the base but without any accessories, Doona is not cheap.
Add a bag (either $40, 60 or $90 depending on size), sun protection ($45), rain cover ($40) and travel bag ($100) if needed and you come down to over $800 for possibly less than a year of usage. Absolute insanity.
Disclosure not to sound like a hypocrite – admittedly, I did pay $399 for Cybex Cloud Q Carseat for my second child, but unlike Doona I think it’s worth it in some circumstances like mine (I described it in my Cloud Q review). In the case of Doona stroller, I think it’s not worth the price considering all its cons.
The problem with expensive infant car seats in general is that if you happen to have a big baby they might not last you very long. Doona says the maximum height is 32″ or 31lbs, which is pretty standard for all infant car seats. I honestly say that while it says maximum it doesn’t also mean it’s comfortable until 32″. I think passed 27″ it’s pretty tight and pushing it.
Some parents claim to use Doona up until 15 months, but in case of my firstborn, we switched him to a convertible car seat by 8 months because he was already 30″ in height and looked painfully uncomfortable even a month earlier. In a Doona baby’s feet are dangling without support passed 28″ so I’ll say you really shouldn’t stretch it to the max.
I know some people whose babies were not only tall like mine, but also chubbier so they only got about 6 months’ worth of Doona usage. It’s sort of like a Snoo baby bassinet – some parents swear by its worth (it’s $1000 and can only be used up to 4 months), others think it’s absolute insanity, but hey – if you can afford it it’s your money.
Not Non-Toxic
A majority of children’s car seats in the United States are filled with toxic chemical flame retardants due to an outdated 1972 federal flammability regulation. So is Doona, unfortunately.
The fabric used on the Doona is sprayed with a flame retardant. This is not used on the infant height adjustment pillow or head support.
Chemical flame retardants do not bind well to the products that they are used on. That means that they are released into our environment as air particles, dust, and direct transfer. As children spent plenty of time rubbing in their car seats, it’s an important factor.
Those flame retardants are toxic and linked to various diseases and there’s no proven benefit of it.
Weight
There’s no denying that Doona is heavy – 16.5 lbs. While it seems like you never need to carry it because it has wheels it’s not the case. You still might have to carry it up the stairs, or simply get it out of the car and lift it back up.
The base is also 10 lbs. You’ll never carry the base unless you want to gate-check it if you’re flying with a baby.
Speaking of flying with a baby, if you decide to bring your Doona on the plane you will usually have to carry it through the aisle (officially you can’t roll strollers down the aisle so you might be told off) so assuming your baby is a standard size and 50th percentile you will carry 16.5 lbs of the car seat & in case of a 4-month-old as an example, about 16 lbs of a baby on top of it. It’s a mission.
While technically Doona or cabin-approved strollers fit through the aisle, only once (out of over 150+ flights) I was able to roll anything airline-approved down to my seat (probably because I was flying alone with a baby while having a cold and looked very desperate, haha!).
The other million times I flew I was told to fold everything before entering the plane and carry it on because flight attendants insisted it was not legally allowed to roll a baby in a stroller or car seat through the aisle due to other passengers’ safety.
No Storage
There’s no option for storage because it’s not a stroller – it’s a car seat. This means you need to carry your diaper bag and other extras yourself instead of just putting them under the stroller.
You can get a mini storage compartment but it’s tiny – you’ll fit a bottle and a diaper there, and you still have to remove it before putting it in the car. It is a pain in the butt.
Then again, it’s really not designed to work as a stroller so the lack of storage isn’t surprising but might be important for people to consider.
Even if you just use it for short trips out of the car to Target it makes things difficult, because then you need to roll your Doona and the cart which is pretty inconvenient. I know some people put car seats inside the cart (which again, is not considered safe because of the angle) but you cannot even do it with Doona as because of the wheels it takes lots of space in the cart not leaving you much room for shopping.
Wheels on Doona Stroller
Wheels are small because they have to be small – otherwise, the car seat wouldn’t fit. While the wheels are an advantage, keep in mind that when it’s muddy or snowy outside you’re putting all this dirty inside your car, not in a trunk.
The Doona also has no dampening system, so it is a rough ride over any uneven surfaces.
Your car will get filthy quickly including the inside of your car door. They do have a car protector but it makes the base slide a bit so some people aren’t comfortable with it. They also sell wheel covers, but who has time for that really?
Low handlebar
The handlebar is painfully low. Unless you’re 5’5 the handlebar is going to feel low and uncomfortable, because again – it’s a car seat and not a stroller so it cannot be extendable for safety.
If you’re taller it really makes you slouch and feels weird – some parents laugh that for tall husbands it looks like you’re pushing a toy stroller and frankly, I must agree. On uneven terrain, it’s a pain in the butt to push a stroller with a handlebar that’s too low.
Seat Only Parent Facing and No Recline
As it’s an infant car seat the seat can only be facing the parent when rolling around in a stroller mode. the seat orientation is not ideal for young babies. Once older though, curious babies can be frustrated they cannot see what’s going on when strolling (I know mine was after 6 months) so it’s frustrating.
Doona is also angled at a car seat level (45 degrees), so the child cannot sit upright. It will frustrate the crap out of most curious babies and toddlers for sure. Unless your child is a unicorn baby and is fine sitting and staring at the sky then it’s not the most fun experience.
No Option for a Double
If you’re planning more kids you might think that Doona might be worth it because you will reuse it. Sure, however, Doona is a single option – no boards, no extra seats.
If your kids are less than 2.5 years apart your toddler might not walk to walk (or will walk but not where you want him to walk) so it gets tricky.
Other Things to Consider About Doona Stroller
Few things that might not be cons or pros, but might be important to think about and decide whether it’s a con or just something that you might be willing to oversee.
Installation Without a Base
Especially if you live in NYC or other cities where you don’t need a car, you might consider Doona so you can easily and safely get around with it by taxis. Yes and no.
Doona is a piece of cake to put in a car with a base, but naturally, you won’t be dragging a 15lbs of a base with you around the city, so will have to install it “European style” with a seatbelt. Which isn’t just one click and it takes a few minutes.
I was laughing at Doona’s marketing video from NYC of “how easy it is to put it in a taxi” – sure thing it’s easy if you just put the car seat in the car without strapping it, as the video ends before the lady actually installs it in the car #MarketingTricks.
Is Doona a Good Travel Car Seat Then?
I think once again, it depends on your preferences and where you’re going to travel.
If you’re traveling around the US or Mexico then it could be. It’s easy to roll through the airport, if you purchase a seat for your infant it’s FAA-approved to take on board, and so on.
However, if you’re traveling to Canada or Europe then unfortunately it’s not a good option as it’s simply not approved for usage there, so you’re subject to fines and voided insurance in case of a crash.
It’s also important to note that non-US airlines do not always allow car seats on planes (and often they must be pre-booked) and in most cases only front-facing car seats as allowed after take-off and landing because infant rear-facing car seats limit the recline of the person in front of you.
In all honestly, I’ve taken thousands of flights around the world and never saw a single person using a car seat on a plane outside of the US. It’s just not a common thing to do.
I’ll also be brutally honest – unfortunately, if you live in a US city and don’t own a car things get tricky with infants. If you need to run around all day with a baby and want to take Ubers/Lyfts you need to have a car seat but it’s also bad to keep babies in car seats all day. Basically, you’re screwed either way if you want to keep your bub as safe as possible.
For older toddlers and kids there are foldable booster seats or foldable car seats such as WayB Pico that is easily portable, but it doesn’t exist for infants. The closest to it is Cosco Scenera Next (if you’re getting one get the convertible version because quite frankly it’s more of a bucket seat without it with no head support), but it’s still not a small portable seat.
Most places in the US require by law to have a child in a car seat when in a car or taxi (NYC does not require it, but you naturally want to keep your little one safe). In cities where public transportation is available, you can just use a bassinet and take public transportation.
I never took a car seat with me on my solo European escapades and was able to move around with metro, trams and public buses without issues and never had to use cars with the baby – just like everyone else around me. But, in the US it can be tricky as quite often there’s no other way of getting somewhere other than a taxi.
Issues in the Winter with Doona Car Seat Stroller
This is something I never considered with my kids as my first was born in the spring and my second was born in the winter but Mexican winter, so I never had to deal with newborns surrounded by snowy or cold weather.
As a parent, you want to keep your kids comfy, especially when they’re tiny during the first few months. If you’re expecting a winter baby it’s only natural to think about a snowsuit or outdoor sleep bag to keep an infant warm and cozy.
Sadly, neither of those work with a car seat. Winter attire adds to space between car seat straps so it’s advised to undress the baby before strapping them to a car seat.
It’s not a problem if you’re just in and out of the car – you can cover your little bubs with a blanket, but if you thought of wondering around NYC with it then you’d either have to have a child covered with a blanket without winter attire (that’s a ton of fun if you have a kicker baby :P) or not strapped and undress him before hopping into a taxi. Not an ideal solution.
Issues in the Summer
Car seats run hotter than strollers. My firstborn spent his first year in Europe, so temperatures were moderate but I still felt like my son was always sweaty when in the car seat.
However, now that we live in Utah from May to September temperatures range between 90 to 105 degrees. Even in the car with AC on the baby is melting in an infant car seat. I absolutely cannot imagine keeping a baby in the car seat when it’s over 80 outside.
P.S. Throwing a cover on top of the car seat actually increases the temperature inside it.
Verdict – Doona Stroller Car Seat Combo:
While Doona can be a good car seat solution for some people, it shouldn’t be your only travel system for the first year of the baby.
If you can afford Doona, a standard stroller, and then the next car seat after a year then it might be worth a purchase if you think you’ll use it enough.
If you want the safest car seat available, then Doona is not the answer as while it passes it performs badly in crash tests.
If you typically will have your baby in your own car, I would go with a more typical travel system or actually skip an infant car seat altogether and get a convertible car seat that will last you years.
However, if you’re looking for a stroller for NYC, have a smaller car (like an electric vehicle or compact car), it’s your second child, or planning on having another fairly soon, then I think you’ll be better off spending money on something else.
Thank you for writing your article! It really helped me to decide whether or not I should get the Doona. I do have a question for you. What would you suggest for a 14 mo old when flying? I have the cybex which is the car seat/stroller and I take that to the door…pack the base in my luggage. I was looking at the Doona for the convenience of it. Any other suggestions, since you traveled a lot, that could be a stroller and car seat? Thanks!
Your 14-month-old still fits in the infant car seat? Lucky! 😀
Out of all my travels with both kids, I only brought a travel system (clippable car seat to a stroller) once, and my husband and I instantly regretted this decision. It was unnecessarily heavier, the baby was getting sweaty and uncomfortable, so I don’t recommend any.
I’m always bringing a travel stroller into the cabin and check car seat at the counter (not to lug it at the airport), but since my older is tall he’s been using WayB Pico since he was about 15-18 months old (that one also fits in the overhead so we never check it) and now the second child is using Cosco Scenera Next for the time being (he stopped fitting in any infant car seats at 8 months just like my first son) and we check that at the counter.
No base or anything like that – just a lightweight car seat easy to maneuver when traveling. Neither I or my friends ever brought a base for traveling because it’s huge and heavy, and once again – unnecessary.
I am so glad I came across your review! I have been lusting over the doona for a few weeks now and your article completely changed my mind.
I have a hand me down city mini from my sister that I use with a chicco key fit car seat. We’re planning on traveling a bit over the next few months and I’m worried that the stroller + adapter + car seat will be annoying. My baby is 5 months old but on the really small side (just 13 pounds). We need a car seat for when we land to get to and from the airport etc so that’s why I was considering the doona but not worth the price if we’re only going to use it for 2 or 3 trips – do you have any recommendations? At what point can she safely/comfortably sit in the city mini (or a travel stroller)?
All travel strollers will have printed on them to use the seats from 6 months up, but in reality, it all depends on your baby as the date is approximate. The 6 months is based on allowing the baby’s spine to be rested but in a car seat vs bassinet, the spine isn’t resting anyway so many people just put the seats in a recline position at 4 months. Some baby’s muscles are strong at 4 months and they’ll want to be seated upright (eg. my first child refused the bassinet) vs some babies won’t be ready for it until even 7 months (eg. my friend’s child who was just not ready to sit upright because of the lack of head control). Most kids though are ready about 4.5 months 😉
Where are you headed? If you just need it to/from the airport then it might not be worth bringing the car seat – better to order transport or a taxi with a car seat, but also not all places require car seats in a taxi or even are accustomed to it (I’ve been to a few places where it was basically impossible to install a car seat in a taxi). But if you want to bring your own car seat the most economical car seat for travel would be Cosco Scenera Next – it’s extremely lightweight.
how come you said NYC doesnt require a car seat? i just read their law and anyone under 8 will need some sort of restraint.. please clarify or send link where you got your sources. thank you
Private cars do, but not taxis. Taxis are exempt from this law. Here’s a link: https://www1.nyc.gov/site/tlc/passengers/passenger-frequently-asked-questions.page
“Children under the age of seven are permitted to sit on an adult’s lap.”
I completely disagree with everything in this post. Not sure how I got here as I was looking at getting my doona replaced after an accident… but a lot of this information is so skewed and just, misleading. The doona isn’t THAT heavy, even my orthopedic surgeon was impressed with how light it was, it has wheels it’s not like you’re going to be carrying it around like an infant carrier. People reading this need to not be influenced by one persons skewed review.
I’m afraid you cannot logically disagree with everything in the post, because a big part of the article is facts, not opinions in regards to its safety, what it does to infants’ spines when they’re in it for extended periods of time when used as an actual stroller and not just in and out of the car (in fact, even the actual Doona manufacturer confirms it).
Doona IS indeed significantly heavier than various other car seats on the market (it’s over 3 times heavier than some of the lightest ones) and if you have stairs or need to conquer cobblestones you will be carrying it indeed. Not to mention having to lift it into the vehicle which is an issue when women are recovering from c-sections for example.
Doona is not banned in Europe, and therefore absolutely not issue to any fines etc.
Regards
Maria
Where did I say Doona is banned in Europe? It’s banned in Canada. It’s just not popular in Europe. However, if you bring a Doona (or any car seats) from the US to Europe that IS indeed banned, because all US car seats are illegal in Europe and vice versa.
Was looking at the Donna for our last baby, #6, due on Thanksgiving. However after this article I see it’s nothing more then a waste of money. Thank you for the eye opener. My 21 month old just outgrew her infant bucket, Graco SnugRide SnugLock Extend2Fit 35, so I’ll just wash it on up and save it for the new baby. Yes, my babies are super petite and all where born at 5lbs, so I’m expecting almost 2 years from the infant bucket with new baby. Do you have any car seats that are good for the next stage? We have a Graco Wayz and I don’t like it lol.
We had this Graco before, along with Graco Slim Fit, and I hated them too – too many pieces to clean. Currently trying out Evenflo Maestro and so far no concerns and easy to get the dirt out, because it’s just one piece.
I’m live in the UK and I was seriously considering buying the Doona for my 1 year old (late, I know). I’m so glad I came across your article, it’s put me off but I’m glad! Something about it didn’t sit right with me from the start! Thank you.
I wish I had seen this article prior to purchasing because it has been a total nightmare. We were drawn to it for the fact of being able to wheel the infant while holding our daughter who is less than two. However, our plan backfired because our doona broke within three months of use – the wheels wouldn’t click in. Doona states on their website they cover manufactured issues but they asserted we damaged ours. Also, the head support is terrible for newborns. So we are back using our nuna pipa lite that we bought for our daughter and highly recommend.
That sucks, but I’m not surprised. The head support is a joke on the Doona and when I talked to experts they all agreed that the wheels make the car seat less safe for multiple reasons :/
I have a friend who started out with the doona. Baby was too big for the infant insert but still too small to safely ride in the carseat and maintain her own airway properly due to the angle of her neck (but mom did not know this until it was almost too late!). Her chin was tucked to far to her chest and she stopped breathing during the car ride! She pulled her baby limp from the seat. There’s a reason it’s illegal in other countries! She took the seat to the fire department so the chief could inspect it and since there’s no way to recline baby to a safe angle for breathing properly before they develop more neck/head support, this makes it absolutely not safe for our babies!
Thank you for taking the time to write your article on the Doona! It was incredibly helpful in my decision process, and I ultimately decided to purchase one. Now that I have it, I’m wondering what other suggestions you might have for a 14 month old when flying?
I currently have a Cybex car seat stroller – so at the airport, I take it up to the door and then pack the base into my luggage. While this is convenient enough, I know there are other options out there like the Doona. Do you have any other recommendations since you’ve traveled with your child so much? What do you suggest for parents looking for something that can serve both as a car seat and a stroller? Thank you for all of your insights!
There aren’t any solutions for older kids since only infant car seats can be clipped into the stroller and this is why when the child has outgrown the infant seat but isn’t quite ready for a booster yet is very tricky for travel and general commuting. The best solution for the US is WayB Car Seat as it fits under the stroller (or can hang from it) and fits nicely in the overhead bin of the plane – search for my full review here on the blog 🙂
Thank you for writing this comprehensive article. I’m an American living in the U.K. and Doonas are definitely becoming more popular here – as a soon-to-be first time mom I’ve had them recommended to me already. After reading your article it’s going to be a hard pass from me!
You state that the doona is not and should not be used as a stroller (agreed) yet you review it as if it is a stroller, comparing it to stroller features. It’s a car seat…compare it to car seats. Very misleading.
Because people look at it as a stroller, while as we both agree on – it’s not, so this review explains it.
Last month I travel to Europe with Donna, it is approved for flight within continental Europe. The baby traveled conformably on Donna and we use it during the whole trip. Great choice. Only one item.
Hi, I was wondering if you could post a review on the evenflo as it is your recommended replacement? Would super appreciate it!
Yes, it’s actually scheduled to be posted next week 🙂
THANK YOU! I already had a sense that this product was just not it but you summarized it all perfectly…. so many reasons I feel like it just doesn’t make any sense! Yet people will not stop INSISTING that I must buy it in NYC. This question is now put to rest.
So hi my names kaera ive used this travel system for 9 months now with my son so I’m a teen mom with autism I had him when I was 12 I’ll be 13 in 2 months so i love this travel system it works so well so I got it in the racing green color so I’ve brought him to dance class with me in this to school with me in this and my moms brought him to work with her in this it’s supper easy to go in restaurants so I’ve been on 2 vacations with this so he weighs 19 pounds and is 22 inches so hes used this since birth I’m a first time mom so it’s the only thing I’ve ever used my only complaint is that it’s heavy it weighs 16 pounds and my son weighs 19 pounds so with him in it it’s rather heavy
