Car Seat & Stroller, Midnight Edition - All-in-One Travel System

Worth every single penny! This is a game changer for my daughter in law and my second grandbaby! She can get the little one in and out with ease, and just like magic, it is a stroller. So safe to move with ease from car seat to stroller. The quality is top notch and it looks so classy

Let me clearly state that this has been the best and most satisfying purchase I’ve ever made in Amazon (and probably everywhere else). It arrived just the day the baby was born, and so we were able to come out of the hospital with the baby in it the next day. It was amazing having learned how to use it right away. We had a 15 minute walk from the hospital to our home and we chose to go that way instead of using a car. Since then we have been using the Doona every day and our baby has always felt comfy and happy when we seat him in it. It’s very maneuverable and it has served its purpose for every use we have thought of for it. So here’s a short summary of use cases we’ve successfully checked: - Taking the baby to the restaurant for lunch and dinner: we have used it in car seat mode and kept him just by our side in long benches in restaurants or as a stroller (with the brakes on) and replacing a seat at the table with it. It’s compact enough to avoid people getting in close proximity to its wheels, unlike most strollers. - Taking the baby on a ferry: Yes! It worked wonderfully in car seat mode for this. And the baby really likes traveling since his first day out (really thanks to the Doona... remember the baby adapts to your lifestyle instead of otherwise, if you choose to do so). - Using Uber: We’ve taken the baby on more than 50 rides and all drivers -really, all of them- were impressed at how easy it was for us to get him in and out of the car, converting from stroller to car seat and back to stroller in an easy operation. Just tell your Uber they don’t need to get off the car to open the trunk or help handling the stroller, because it’s instantly a car seat. It has made our life out of home really easy. - Taking the baby to the beach: just convert to car seat and carry it with the handle and then pop out the wheels when you hit your palm tree spot. The integrated shade helps keep the baby comfortable but we go extra cautious and always put a blanket covering the top of the Doona so no mosquitoes or too much sun and wind gets in. There’s an official sunshade but we found it easy to go the cheap way since we didn’t get the sunshade along and didn’t want to wait for shipping times. - Taking the baby to the movies: Yes! Believe it or not, babies like Avengers even if it’s a three hour long movie. We just put the Doona in car seat mode and voilà! Just check the baby for signs of wet diaper and maybe go to change it once through the movie to avoid crying. Remember to seat close to the aisles or next to the handicapped seats and you’ll enjoy your movie date once again and not having to wait for years to go back to the cinema. Actually having done this helped us emotionally since we found out we still can do things we like. - Taking the baby on a plane: Oh, yes... we had an international flight at week 5 and we felt like a “moving Kodak picture spot/opportunity” everywhere through the airport. It was so easy to get to narrow or crowded places and there are two ways of traveling with it: 1. Taking it to the gate and unloading the baby right at the plane’s door and the airline will take care of it and put it with the cargo and then deliver it back when you get out of the door so you can keep using it through customs and luggage pick up without having to hold the baby the whole time. And... 2. Getting a seat for your baby that you can take the Doona on board because it’s certified for air travel... We chose option 1 and saved some money for diapers and baby formula. And it was by far the easiest to use stroller/seat we saw (and the airline staff said that too). There were other babies on both planes we took and honestly they weren’t having as good time as we were. - Taking the car seat through TSA check... easy... it goes through the X-ray machine in car seat mode, flipped upside down. Just the right size for that. - Taking the baby to doctor’s appointments: waiting rooms sometimes get crowded and we were happy our Doona didn’t take as much space, avoiding making other people uncomfortable. During an appointment I found out another “mode” for the Doona that I’ve never seen in reviews or elsewhere: just retract the wheels to put it in car seat mode and leave it in the floor. Surprisingly, it works like a rocking chair! Really, just try it when you get yours and be amazed at that “rocking chair” mode. I’ve never seen so many “WTF” faces around before. - Getting in and out of elevators with one hand: just retract the handle and put it upright and it will take the less space possible. It’s so easy to do. - Going shopping: it’s so small and flexible you can take it to the outlets and feel like a “Kodak picture spot/opportunity” once again (actually someone mentioned that while I retracted the Doona to climb some stairs and avoiding a long ramp other parents where going through slowly (hence the photo op... a line of parents wasting time and only one avoiding the traffic jam). Now we’re in month 5 and while most of this review was written during the first two months, nothing has changed and we’re happy we went the Doona way. We removed the newborn insert just before month 3 and baby didn’t even notice the change. Short summary: we have been happy parents thanks to Doona. *********** Follow up: Our baby is 2.5 years old now and we miss the Doona. We used it for 15 months and once again, we miss it but it surely made another happy family after us. If there could be something similar for toddlers, we would definitely buy it. But honestly, still think it was the best purchase ever.

I loved our Doona! Sadly our 1 year old got too tall for it. Her height is above average and her weight is a bit average so we had to upgrade to a toddler 360 car seat, she also started walking at an early age so we had to let go it. I really recommend this product to any mom to make life a bit easier with a new born and a baby who doesn’t walk yet. Quality is amazing and so is the safety. Quick and easy car seat to stroller feature. Best beautiful baby car seat well worth the money!

I feel so strongly about this item. Despite people’s feelings on the price it is well well worth it! I was hesitant because some people were so negative mostly about the price of this. As a first time mom I was so nervous about taking my baby places with me and being able to carry it post c section. This made me able to take my baby anywhere and completely worry free. Don’t let anyone talk you out of getting this. It makes your life so much easier and the green color is so cute. Setting up any car seat is a struggle but you get the base to put in your car and won’t have to worry about a thing. Happy mom hood!💗

The perfect stroller and car seat! When in stroller mode, it is very easy to push around and maneuver. Converting back and forth is super simple and even with baby inside, it is not too heavy.

I originally scoffed when my daughter told me about the Doona. Then I saw it in action, and I bought for her the next day. PROS: The Doona is a carseat and a stroller! The car seat attaches to a secured base in your car. User Friendly: It’s not only quick & easy to secure & release the carseat from the base. The carseat also has a quick release for stroller mode. Durable: The cover is machine washable. This car seat was used by both my grand daughters and was still in great shape. Super sturdy wheels. Adjustable Handle: The handle is adjustable. CONS: Pricey: Over $500 No Storage: It’s an additional purchase for bottle/ cup holders or storage. Hanging a purse or diaper bag on it is challenging. Ventilation: It doesn’t “breathe” easy. We’re hot natured. We kept a rechargeable clip on fan on our Doona to keep air flowing around the babies. Regardless of the cons, we love this car seat. It made transporting our precious cargo a breeze. Easy in, easy out and you’re rolling! I definitely recommend this car seat. And I would buy again.

I wanted to update my review, sorry it's long. I bought the doona in may 2020 for my child due in Aug 2020. Alot of people are wondering is the price worth it if the doona does "last" as long because of the child maximums. The doona has lasted me 1 year. The child max for the seat is 35 pounds and up to 32 inches; which my son at 1 years old he is 25.2 pounds (93rd children percentile) and 30 inches (58 percentile) I guess I could use the car seat for a little bit longer but I decided to upgrade to a Evenflo GOLD Revolve 360 Rotational All-In-One because it'll be his forever car seat. Anyways, I LOVE my doona. Even though it is on the pricey side, I love how it was a 2 in 1. So when you think about it, it's a pretty good deal! It works like a dream when the child is a newborn, that's when it helped the most, I had an emergency C-section, and having to the doctors office all the time my son's and my appointments, the doona makes it so easy from transitioning from the car to wherever. If my son was sleeping I did not have to disturb him or ever go into the trunk and get the stroller out. You just take out the car seat and pull the button and plop it into a stroller. I will say, I started to notice around when my son was 10 months, the car seat plus the child is pretty heavy, the doona is already I think 16 pounds. And for me, I liked to put him in the doona first and then took him out to the car and latched the doona to the base, going down stairs with him in the seat was heavy, which I could have done it differently, it just worked better for me this way. Also, I love you hear a clear latched sound and the green button show when the doona is clicked into the base. I used the anchors for the base and that was so easy for the doona to get in and out of the car. The doona also is easy to secure the car seat to another vehicle that you didn't have another base for, so if you only really ever use 1 car, probably save your money on buying an additional base. Loved the green and red brake system, the red brake both locked both rear wheels, and the green unlocked them both. It was super easy to adjust the straps for the harness. I do wish the sun visor was a tad-bit bigger but it never was any big issue because I always had a nursing cover to put on the doona. Overall, if you have the money to buy it, BUY IT! I loved this thing, it manuvers so we'll, it glides (it's not all terrain, not great on big gravel) It was worth the money, you cannot get better convenience that this!!

I'd like to start by addressing what I read in poor reviews because I feel that a lot of them may have just lacked a little understanding of the purpose for a carseat/stroller conversion combo. 1. Yes, it is heavier than standard carseats because they've added wheels! But, isn't that the point of buying a carseat that immediately converts into a stroller???? Also, I don't find it overwhelmingly heavy when placing it into the base. 2. Cupholders??? Why are people trying to store liquids near tiny humans inside a vehicle? ITS 1ST AND FOREMOST A SAFETY APPARATUS, you don't need and should not be trying to store drinks on it 2a. The wheels are intended to make taking it into/out of places (i.e. home, church, store, dr appts) more manageable.... which maybe only parents who have actually experienced carring a carseat when necessary can truly understand .... all that to say: with wheels under my baby EVERYWHERE I need to go it's not an inconvenience to carry my drink, because in the days before wheeled carseats us parents were dehydrated ;p 3. Parents saying their child is outgrowing it at 4 months either; have abnormally large tiny humans or have not figured out how the adjust the strap height and/or remove the newbord head rests. My 9lb 11oz newborn needed it adjusted for his 1st ride.... he's nearly 2 and is finally approaching the end of his doona run, which is fine because he walks... most children will be walking around the 35lb weight limit anyway which eliminates the need to wheel them to n from the van 4. It doesn't fit in/on shopping carts..... I always push my doona with 1 hand while pulling the shopping cart behind me so I guess I found it a plus since now I have room in my cart for more food :) or maybe a houseplant 5. Tipping forward easily seemed to be a concern for a few people.... I would consider this a somewhat valid concern especially if there's other children helping (which I have experience with) When the seat is in the stroller position (especially with the handle fully extended) there should be care taken not to put extra weight on the handle, the wheels closest to the operator are a fulcrum point, therfore one of your larger little humans can tip the tiniest of your humans by pulling, hanging, or leaning on the handle. However, if you have securely fastened and tightened your tiny human all is well.... now you just have to figure out how bad the bigger small human is hurt Now that I've addressed what other people think is wrong with it (and why they're wrong;) I think its probably best i give my pros/con list Con: This may sound a bit silly but I seriously contribute my struggle with loosing "baby weight" after this pregnancy to the Doona.... THE ONLY MAJOR LIFESTYLE CHANGE from my 1st 3 postpartum experiences and my 4th was not carrying those heavy, awkward carseats around. Pros: 1. Single handed steering!!! This feature is what sold me.... I went to a baby boutique to test out the different carseat/stroller combos before investing that much $ into something I wasn't totally convinced about the convenience of.... when I could steer the Doona single handed around displays I knew it was the right choice!!!! 1a. Maneuverability in general is fantastic! We get FEET of snow where I live and it has powered through (sometimes turning it around and pulling works a bit better in treacherous conditions) 1b. Handle adjustments: 2 height options for angled standard stroller pushing but it can also be postioned vertically which helps maneuver in super tight corners or crowded spaces 2. Durability.... its been nearly 2 yrs through snow, ice, paved trails, dirt trails, asphalt, grass, all kinds of terrain.... she's still rolling 3. The conversion function can take some getting used to but once you do it a few times it becomes muscle memory.... I highly recommend that you familiarize yourself with ANY CARSEAT before putting a newborn in it.... I may or may not practice with a babydoll/stuffed animal ;) converting actually gets easier with a little weight in the seat so a milk jug might work good too Overall it was a great investment for me!!! (especially since I used my registry discount) I recommend this 100% to every pregnant woman.... but you have to be willing to understand the product to truly appreciate it

Muy práctica y cómodo para transportar a mi recién nacido

Muy buena opción, la calidad increíble, la practicidad de traer el asiento del carro y la carreola en uno solo fue lo mejor, fácil de colocar, super segura para mi bebé durante el recorrido en carro. Lo único detalle es que casi no respiraba de la espalda y mi bebe terminaba siempre sudado, pero primero su seguridad. La tuvimos durante 1 año y medio y fue lo mejor.

Llegó en muy buenas condiciones, el producto es lo que esperábamos, original y a un excelente precio. Llegó completo, con la base y todo

Se solucionó mi problema y se entregó la carriola en buen estado, el vendedor se contactó y estuvo al pendiente de que llegara y de mis dudas

Una carriola muy funcional, buen material, buen tiempo de entrega y buen precio
