Reviews
According to customers, Doona is just a godsend for those who often use the car, because the child does not need to be transferred from the car seat to the stroller, no need to fold the carriage and load it into the trunk, but simply took out the car seat, pressed the handle and the wheels decomposed themselves. Thus, less energy is spent and the parent becomes much more mobile. Moms are happy that the baby does not have to wake up during the transformation of the chair.
A lot of reviews about compactness, because folded stroller does not take much space. Great convenience is that the stroller can be operated with one hand, it is quite agile.
Of course, you can purchase a 2 in 1 stroller, in which both a cradle and a walking block are provided, for example, Indigo madonna lux 2 in 1, but it will not be so mobile and easy to handle.
Doona is heavier than a regular car seat and is much higher than many strollers in the market of children's goods, but if you take into account all the advantages of this stroller and especially its safety, then it is worth it!
