Doona?

Having a donna doesn't make transporting a baby any different. There is still have the maximum time in the car seat especially for babies plus you also need to think as baby gets heavier are you going to be able to lift it in & out the car?

You should look up the pros and cons of them. They are banned in canada and Australia as they were being used as strollers rather than car seats and causing positional asphyxiation (they should only be used for very short journeys and not in place of a stroller ever). They’re also pricey and they don’t have a long lifespan as your baby can only fit in it until they reach 80-81cm in height, 35lb in weight or have one inch between their head and the top of the car seat. It also has zero storage space underneath and it is very heavy for a car seat too, so lifting in and out with a growing baby might be strenuous. They also have quite low handles which also put me off.

I’d honestly recommend getting a 360 spin car seat that works for every stage from birth to 12 years old like a Joie. They’re such good value for money, very safe and comfortable and once they are in your car you hardly have to move them. Plus the spin function makes it easy to put them in and spin them rear facing

We got a car seat with our cosatto travel system which has been fine for the first wee while but it’s the rarest of occasions we’ve used it on the wheels as a stroller because babies need to lay flat for those first six months when you’re in shops etc as much as they can anyway. Plus it’s a faff taking it in and out of the car. Better to just use the bassinet or a lay flat stroller/pram that’s compact and lightweight with storage space for your nappy bag etc xx

As I think others have said, people tend to use them incorrectly. The baby isn't supposed to be in the car seat for longer than 30min at a time before they reach 6 months as it can cause breathing difficulties. Although a pain to put on and off, I absolutely loved the carry cot we had for the first 6 months and baby slept so comfortably in it when we were out and about. Xx

I’ve got one ! Waiting on my baby arriving! don’t listen to anyone’s opinions on them ! The amount of people I actually see use a car seat attached to a pram on a day to day basis is the same 🙈🤣 and I’ve heard really good things about them! They wouldn’t be getting sold if they weren’t safe! X

I got one Ive heard there so handy for holidays etc x

I wish they could engineer a 12 month + equivalent 😅 I had a pram system that came with a carseat and an isofix base. I have a car big enough to fit the wheels and carrycot in the boot. I would use the wheels and carseat or carry cot for small grocery shops, but if I needed to buy more than a few things I would pop the carseat on top of those specifically designed trolleys. Besides that I alwaus the used the carry cot on the wheels.
