Doona Car Seat & Stroller

“Before I had my daughter, I couldn’t comprehend the brilliance of a stroller that is also a car seat. Then, we had our baby and everything changed forever, etc etc. The Doona was BY FAR the most useful travel item in our family from 0-2…(we pushed our use to 2.5!) Since it’s pricey, I’ll just say, it’s a stellar hand-me-down or secondhand friend gift. FYI it doesn’t have an undercarriage, so we just added hooks for the diaper bag!”

“We got two of these car seats they are saving our lives rn. Easily converts to a very stable stroller so you don’t need to carry both.”

“I know everyone says it, but it's actually such a game changer. Outings with a newborn can feel daunting, but limiting transfers makes them much more approachable. The one caveat is that you actually do need a second stroller for longer walks and bumpier terrain. But grocery stores? Coffee shops? Bars? Restaurants? Quick stops at a friend's house? Doctor's appointments? Doona all the way.”
