Nuna Demi Grow Stroller | IN DEPTH REVIEW | Margot Brown

[@MargotBrown]

**Update 4 yrs later** My honest opinion still stands, this stroller has been a great fit for our family. I love the luxurious feel, easy and comfort of maneuvering. The extendable handlebar works well with my height, and my legs don’t hit the stroller as I push. They have a newer version of the stroller out and I’m sure it’s just as nice (I have checked out the new one yet). At a very high price tag, yes it’s worth it due to the top notch quality and build. If you want a lasting and adaptable stroller for all family types I highly recommend this stroller option.

[@alexihunter6433]

It's such perfect timing that you posted this video . My second baby is due any day now my kids are 18 months apart and I've been seriously looking for what would fit our family best ! And I think this basically seals the deal ! I mean I've watched this video about 4 times already since you posted it 😂

[@MargotBrown]

That is awesome, thank you for the support. I'm very happy you've had a chance to watch. I think you will love this stroller. Very versatile and functional.

[@annedg]

Thank you for this review! Like you’ve said, I haven’t seen too many reviews from actual mommies that have actually bought this stroller system so your review was extremely helpful and reaffirmed my decision to get a Nuna Demi grow. I am having my second in July and have a 4 year old. We tried the uppa baby vista in store as everyone (including the sales reps) kept pushing for it. It definitely is the top choice but I just couldn’t get over the configurations where the youngest goes in the bottom front and having my eldest child on top. It just didn’t make sense to me. Plus my son is too tall for the rumble seat that it came with. We tested out the Nuna and found the Nuna Demi to work the best! My son is pretty independent and can get in and out of the stroller himself and loved being in the bottom when we tested it out. And the fact that both seats can hold 50 lbs and are interchangeable is so awesome and I don’t have to fiddle around with all those extra adapters like with the vista! I am planning to buy the Nuna Demi with the clek car seat (the Nuna PIPA here in Canada is made different than in the States and doesn’t offer the same safety qualities like having the load leg) and they both work great together since Nuna uses maxi Cosi adapters! Oh and I found great hacks on this stroller too which will help a lot! Have you ever tried a stroller bag that can attach to the front or handle of the bar before as added storage?

[@emilyalcorn3547]

Anna Banana I agree about the configuration of the Upper Baby Vista. It never sat right with me to have the younger one at the bottom at the front... that just doesn’t make sense to me... this seems a more mum friendly configuration 😊

[@worksomucho]

Anna Banana would you mind posting a link to where you found some of those hacks for the Demi Grow?

Thank you Laurie!! That means a lot to me!😘😁💗

[@bragon0895]

i just found we're having another and our boy is currently 9 mo. I will admit I'm a stroller snob and I'm so excited to get a new stroller. I'm such a simple person and only want bare minimum. I have a nuna pipa and hate adapters. I briefly looked at the vista but I dont like the look of it (too bulky). Your points were very relatable! Great detailed video!

[@SaltyTribeCo]

I’m so glad to see a new review of this stroller. I’ve scoured the internet for them. There’s one configuration that I’m dying to see (and have only seen one other person do it) it’s using both toddler seats but having the upper adapters in use for the top seat. I want to see the span of distance between the two seats so so bad lol. But only one person has shown it. Thank you so much for showing all you did! Much appreciated!!!

[@MargotBrown]

Hello! Thank you for watching! Ohhh darn, if I had the additional toddler seat I would most definitely show you and give you the distance. I don't have that seat just yet. My little girl is on the taller side I'd say for her age. She has enough space with the carseat on top, and at the store trying this out, with both toddler seats- it seems to be just fine! :)

[@gurdeepkaur2395]

The upper adapters for the toddler seat are only available in the Europe, not USA. I had to have nuna send them to my cousin in London who sent it to me, (they wouldn't mail it here) . I like it so much better now with the adapter, (car seat adapter does not work for the toddler seat).

Two negative reviews I’ve read: Let me know if you have the same issues. That the upright position is not fully 90 degrees and toddler slides down and also the leg rest weaken and do not hold up legs for a toddler. They start to Bend down and don’t stay up for bigger kiddos still under 35 pounds.

[@MargotBrown]

Hello thanks for watching! You are correct in that it doesn’t sit up to a complete 90 degrees. It has always seemed comfortable from the looks of it. There is a newborn insert I believe that should help with this if the baby needs the support. There’s a slight recline. I haven’t noticed in mine the foot rest weakening. However if the child put too much weight in it over time or crawls up it to get in the chair then I’m sure it will weaken the fittings. Over all though it’s been a great stroller for us. I’m at the point not where I don’t use it as much. My children are 5.5/3.5/1 and I use a more compact lighter weight stroller bc it makes things a little easier for me. My middle wouldn’t be happy to ride in as a double. I hope this helps!

[@ksdbs6324]

Thank you for the thorough and very helpful review! This definitely helped me decide and I’ve been very indecisive to say the least

[@MargotBrown]

I'm very happy to hear that! Thank you for watching. Are you going to purchase the demi grow?

[@ksdbs6324]

Margot Brown yes!

[@valentinaorange]

Hello there! I appreciate the review you posted. I was wondering if you could help me with something. I'm having trouble finding the length and width measurements of the toddler seat. My child is already 15 months old and quite tall, so I want to make sure the seat will be comfortable for him for the next year or two. Thank you in advance for your help! Thank you!

[@MargotBrown]

Hello, thank you so much! I see the website states the following for the seat: Sibling seat dimensions L 9 in W 16.5 in H 36.5 in. I hope this helps!

[@sarahcushman9248]

You did this review about a year ago I would be so happy to see an updated stroll if you are still using it! My son is 3 and will be 4 by the time I have a second and I am doing research way early! Does her girl still fit ?

[@MargotBrown]

Hello! My comment is very late, and may not be relevant for you anymore. However my children are now 5.5/3.5/1. We don’t use now, my middle is independent and doesn’t like being confined so to make things easier and quicker we use a more compact light weight stroller. It was perfect every other time I needed it though! He would still fit in it, his weight meets the limits and size wise he’d be ok. Thank you for watching!

[@EH-ke3sl]

My toddler is 3 1/2 would you say it’s worth it i would be getting it mainly for him for bottom use and my 2 year old on top.. I’m just so confused and nervous to spend

[@MargotBrown]

It’s a big investment I understand! Honestly at that age for both, I probably wouldn’t. My 3.5 likes to walk on his own. There are less expensive strollers that you can fit a universal piggy board on the back. This would probably seem more fun for them.

[@sfiga87]

Super helpful video thanks! I'm expecting my first but looking at doubles as we think we would like another baby within a couple of years. I agree with your thoughts on uppababy, its a great pram but just didn't feel right to me and as a more petite person it felt so long. I'm really torn between this one and a cheaper online australian pram called redsbaby, think the nuna has the edge though in terms of quality and the variety of configurations and I've already got the nuna capsule which is compatible with both. The redsbaby is lighter than the nuna demi grow but I think is more ackward to pick up from folded. Thanks so much for this, the one shop that sells nuna in Australia unforrtunately the sales assistants didn't know that much about it and the configurations so this was so helpful to me!

[@elisabethkriser4062]

Great and convenient all in one stroller! My only major disappointment is (( no cup/flask holder?))??? For this price toddler and Mom should both have one (even in the form of an add on clip on accessory)

[@alysharadics875]

Thanks for the great review! So you probably said this.. but do you need to buy the separate sibling seat to use it on the bottom while the infant car seat is on the top? Or did the seat included with the stroller work on the bottom?

[@theaswift3117]

I really this double stroller and i love how you reviewed it.

[@MargotBrown]

Thank you very much I appreciate that!

[@TheJouvea]

Thanks for the great review. What car seat do you use for your toddler? Did you have to get a different seat base or does the nuna seat base work for it too?

[@MargotBrown]

I am sorry for my late response! I use the Nuna Pipa Lite LX. A carseat base comes with the carseat as well. The carseat works perfectly with the stroller, no adapter required. Thank you for watching!

[@jessicaaguirre47]

Hi I’m trying to decided on a double stroller I have nuna Demi grow in mind & uppababy VISTA . But i don’t know how i feel about having both babies in and no space to put diaper bag or shipping bags :/

[@MargotBrown]

Hello! This was probably my biggest concern too. I truly wish the Nuna had more space below. Nowthat I've had it for several months with constant use (almost every day) I can say that I am not 100% disappointed with the lack of space. My toddler, almost 2.5yr likes to walk or sit in the basket w/ out the seat- which allows for extra room. My 4 month old, I usually wear bc he loves the closeness. If I'm not wearing him then he's happy in the top or bottom. My older has also been loving lately is standing on the folded down basket and holding onto the push bar. I really thought the second seat at the bottom was going to be a big annoyance but it turns out I have not missed the space. I've learned to just carry the basics and it totally works out ok for me. But if you are planning a shopping trip with 2 babies/kids in the stroller, you will be tight with space for sure. The Vista has great space and that is one of the best features in my opinion. If you think you''ll definitely need the space bc you carry a good amount of stuff or just want it to be prepared for whatever, then the Vista is a great choice too! Both are good option. I hope this helped!?

This was a great review it was so nice to see how the kiddos fit top and bottom! I’d love to get this stroller for 2 kiddos! Now to just get pregnant again ASAP :)

[@MargotBrown]

Thank you for watching! Best wishes with a hopeful new baby!!

[@TaaNiNablue]

I had recently ordered this stroller and can't wait to put my baby in it. One question. The model I had purchased has a removable basket that can be used within the one you have on your stroller and can be taken out which will then mean you have two baskets to use. Did your model not include that removable basket?

[@manarm8316]

Thank you so much for this! Like you said, I’ve only seen reviews from companies and not actual moms.

[@MargotBrown]

Thank you! I hope this video helped you if you were looking for an outsider opinion.

[@kevindesai4252]

hey Margot - great video. What color is the car seat? Looking for the one that matches the threaded Nordstorm collection

Hi Kevin, thank you! The carseat is also from the Threaded Collection. Each piece matches!

[@Teawithtiffanyk]

Do you know if any car seat would fit? I have Graco Click connect. My baby is 7 months old and I'm currently pregnant again. They'll be 14 months apart so I feel like this would be perfect!

[@MargotBrown]

Hi Tiffany thank you for watching! I tried to Google that for you and I couldn't find anywhere that said specifically the Graco would fit. But perhaps reach out to new knows customer service and they could give you a for sure answer. I'm sorry! And congratulations! Yes having them 14 months apart I would definitely invest in a double stroller as well.

[@Teawithtiffanyk]

Margot Brown thank you and thank you for replying! No need to apologize hun, I can ask their customer service!

[@rachelann9702]

I really like this double stroller and I love how you reviewed it, I’m having my second child in May 2020, my son is 2 and will be 3 in August, do you think I can get my use out of the stroller for my oldest ? Like I’m afraid he will out grow it too fast he’s pretty small thanks !

[@MargotBrown]

Hi Rachel, thank you for watching! That's a good question, I questioned this a lot before I purchased b/c my oldest will be 3 in August and our new boy will be 1 yr in August as well. I am out and about often during the week, wether it's at the park, library, store, walks, etc so I knew that having a double stroller was something that I would really appreciate having. My 2 year old is a runner I guess you could say, she likes to take off on me which can be very dangerous in certain situations. Once I have her in the stroller (top or bottom) she is fine. She doesn't fuss or get upset b/c she's on walking. Having the double stroller makes me more comfortable because I knew with a little one and her as active as she is, it would be nice to be able to contain her and not have her run away...and I'd be stuck chasing after her with a baby, diaper bag and (single) stroller! Know what I mean? It just makes things easier because I have the option of using the Demi grow as a single/double. Long story short, I do think you would benefit from this as long as you make frequent trips out and if your 3 yr old is adventurous :). Thank you for watching! Hope this helps!

[@jimmyjams2222]

I really want this stroller but my wife is nervous that you lose too much basket space when in double mode. Has this been an issue for you?

[@klauskinski4060]

Thank you so much for the thorough review! We're thinking about buying the demi grow but are concerned that the upper seat is too high for a toddler to climb in and out of by themselves, so we would have to pick them up every time. How is your experience with that?

[@MargotBrown]

Hello thank you for watching!s my toddler cheese 2 and a 1/2 now is able to climb in-and-out of the Topsy by herself. She's been able to do this for a few months or so. Honestly I think she prefers to do it herself because she is in that independent stage right now lol!

[@MargotBrown]

Thank you so much for watching! My kids always seemed comfortable, however it doesn’t fully sit up 90 degrees. The grab bar in front offers support as well. In my opinion they looked comfortable, then again they never said anything about not being able to sit up straight but I think they were good!

I'm having my first baby and I am trying to figure out if I should get the Nuna mixx which is the single or if I should invest a little more money and get the double so I don't have to replace it in the future.. thoughts??

[@MargotBrown]

Congratulations how exciting!! I am sorry I did not get back to you sooner. Personally, I love the size of this stroller even as a single. I have been using it regularly as a single and am happy with all the aspects of it. The Mixx is nice in size, easy, maneuverability, etc. I would consider the Demi Grow if you think you may expand your family within a few years of having your first. If mine were lets say 3 years apart, I may not have opted for a double just because the older would not get a lot of use out of the stroller. I am happy with my purchase, since mine are exactly 2 years apart, we've had the need! Thank you for watching.

[@MargotBrown]

Hello! Thank you for the question! The handle goes from 38”-42” from the ground so you should be able to measure about where that falls for your hands comfortably. For just one child I wouldn’t personally unless I bought second hand at a good price. It’s really expensive new! There’s many great strollers out there that are singles with sufficient space. I also have the uppababy Cruz and love it. If you plan to grow your family or just love a large stroller than this one is a good choice!

Does your toddler still like the bottom seat? That is the only thing that worries me. All the sellers say toddlers love the cozy feel down there but hoping for some real toddler input. Mine will be exactly 2 years apart

She said yes in another comment

[@auroramuriqi6676]

is the lower seat too close to your legs when you walk

[@MargotBrown]

It's not- You always have the option to adjust the handle bar if you are taller and need more Room for walking. In addition the bottom seat does not recline back further so the fixed position does not get in the way of walking for me. Thank you for watching!
