Best video on KZbin for the Doona. Now Doona just needs to make a larger version that can support up to 3 years old.

[@thebongers]

Thanks so much! Yes that would be amazing!

Thank you for the tips. Very practical and straightforward. I especially liked the advice on collapsing the stroller easily. It always feels like I'm trying to tip my child out of the stroller. Great tip on changing the colour between children. Doona should pay you for promotion😂

[@alohadakine4571]

If your one the fence... GET THE DOONA!!! I have zero regrets. I cannot express enough how unbelievably convenient it is in so many ways. It is PRICELESS to not have to pack and assemble a separate stroller. It is worth every penny! Who cares how long baby will fit in it, all infant seats or systems have this problem. My boy is huge and will outgrow this thing faster than most and I could care less because it has given me so much convenience in the crucial first 6mos! It is a breeze to bring baby w me and do errands. A great thing is the size this stroller is so compact it is easy to take anywhere! If I had gotten any other system regardless or cheap or expensive I would have cried and probably caved and still bought the Doona.

[@AyeKay220]

I just caved and bought it. My Britax travel system broke me while flying twice. Baby will probably outgrow it sooner than later because he’s pretty big but we will use it until we can’t anymore and hopefully resale for a good amount.

[@JoJoJoker]

They’re not even an expensive option. Resale is very high…

[@Czarina888777]

Pediatrician don’t recommend car rides longer than 90 minutes for newborns because they’ll be in a sitting position; would you say this is a problem to then have the baby sitting for a shopping trip or errand after the car ride?

[@beautybabylover2246]

@@Czarina888777 what would be the difference with a normal car seat that you transfer to a bulky stroller?

[@Czarina888777]

@@beautybabylover2246 There wouldn’t be one. Which why I went with the vista v2 which has a bassinet included and will be using the bassinet for after car ride and errands, for the first few months.

Thanks for demonstrating how to unlock the seat from the base. I was looking all over for a video that showed that part 🙌🏽

[@brentperkins6521]

Our baby will be here in 2 weeks and we have a Doona. Your video was so helpful! I also had no idea that a Doona could be transported in a car without the base! Thanks!

[@bankaoukji785]

Can I put the stearing in the back so the infant will face forward????????

[@austinstewart3392]

The visor actually pulls right off with some force. I found a video from Doona on how to do it. Super easy to do and makes cleaning the whole unit easy and efficient.

[@thebongers]

Yes! So much easier than we originally thought!

[@Muzikmiss]

Wow thanks. Was having issues getting my base installed with the tab on the green and this video gave a great tip that wasn’t even in the manual

[@andyjame28]

Very sturdy in comparison to other strollers that we had. I get a lot of compliments for it. My baby loves being in the bassinet, The kzbin.infoUgkx4qZutfp1y5CaTUcMTuFPbARE5u-8XLiE stroller comfortable. I like the rain cover and the white net that comes with it. I use the rain cover just to cover the car seat when it rains. If your front wheels don't turn well, make sure you lubricate.

[@lisac7235]

Another great video. I just wanted to mention that Doona only allows use of their own accessories with their seat. This means that the only thing that can be under the Doona in the vehicle is their own seat protector. You cannot use a towel, blanket, or any other after market products under the seat. Also want to give an FYI for the seat protector you used on your driver's seat. Please read vehicle manuals to make sure the vehicle manufacturer allows things to be attached to the head rest. I know it is a super duper light product, most newer vehicles have smart bag sensors & having anything hanging from or contacting the seat can effect how the airbag deploys in a crash.

I have one and it's my favorite baby item I have, no joke. The only downside is I get stopped by so many older men with their jaws dropped to the ground because it converts to a stroller with a push of a button and they had to carry everything when they had little ones. I don't love it for the compliments but it makes me know I have a great purchase. So glad it holds it's value too once I'm done with it. ❤️❤️❤️
