Why You Should Choose Doona or Nuna?
Would I go Doona, would I go Nuna? That really depends on your personal needs. The height handle on the Doona is maxed out at around a 6 ft parent for your stride down below. It doesn't go any higher. Where as on the TRIV, I do have the ability to extend it to a much higher length. However, when you purchase a TRIV Travel System, you purchase a stroller and a car seat – and it's a larger investment out of the gate. The portability of a Doona is what's really become a game changer. By just flipping it down, folding it, nice and compact. But the simple use (of the TRIV) sometimes is greater than anything else. Just pick it up and you're done. So the Doona versus the Nuna.TRIV Travel System versus Doona Travel System: You need to make the choice. If you have any questions or comments, leave it below.
