Doona or evenflo car seat stroller combo?

Does anyone have any experience with either of these 2 stroller car seats? Doona or evenflo. I think they’re both all in one car seat and stroller. You can strap them into a base then take out easily? Are they safe? Easy to take in and out of car while attachment is a breeze? Is it heavy or no? Travel friendly? They appear to be pretty much exactly alike. I have photos I can show in the comments upon request, but I was able to add one photo shown below. Tysm!

I've heard the Doona is good my friend used one

If you’re going to do a stroller/car seat 2-n-1, then go for Evenflo. Much lighter weight, better looking, newer model, and can be detached from wheels when needed, unlike the Doona! It also rides a lot smoother. Evenflo 100% because it has more features.

They’re about the same price anyways, so!

My son outgrew the doona by height at 8 months. It’s safe and easy but didn’t last us long. It is heavy.

I have a doona. We loved it and she still fit Into it at 18m. She’s 50th centile

tysm. I was reading the reviews and some were saying the evenflo was a bit heavier but I didn’t know the Doona doesn’t disattach from the wheels! Thats a huge plus but the ads make it vague. I saw the Doona is made of aluminum which made me nervous. And yea I actually evenflo pricing way better😆

oh wow. Do u know what %tile ur lo is? Our 1st 2 babes were in the 78th and 98th or somewhere around there so I was wondering if this may be a problem since it says 35 lbs. My kids are tall and skinny too so they’ll fit the weight requirement but I’m not sure how long for the space! Honestly I loved my zen yo-yo and never looked back after using the nuna for only a shorter timeframe w the last 2 …but that’s an expensive option! Lol

98th for height and weight but maxed out on height first

The doona is banned in several countries in Europe and Canada because it doesn’t pass their standard safety crash tests

dang that’s crazy but makes sense

I would love to believe that the evenflo is much safer and passes the tests. The weight was the first thing I noticed concerning safety thank u for sharing!

did you get a new one?

you just need to buy the EU model, we have different safety standards but it’s not that one is better than the other. US stuff has a chest clip and wider set straps. EU is required to just have a single button release to get the baby out of the seat.

we use a large convertible, the Britax Romer First Class Plus. It’s heavy as heck but easy to install, easy to clean, and should last us a while. We’re still rear facing and have done the front facing install on airplanes, both were easy.

When do things get easier?

As we entered the 9-12 month stage, my son started crawling and pulling himself up. He also became more clingy and does not play alone, still doesnt sleep through the night, and this week has been sick (so EVERYTHING amplified). I am tired and overwhelmed. Please lie and tell me things get better. 🥺

Colostrum storing?

Has anyone successfully extracted colostrum before the baby’s born? Apparently it gets produced from 16w pregnant and you can start storing it in the freezer but I’m 34w looking at my nipples and the syringes on amazon wondering how it works?? Like what did you use and did it hurt? 🥲

Dummies🤦🏼‍♀️🤦🏼‍♀️🤦🏼‍♀️

Has anyone got any tips on how to GET RID of dummies😂🤦🏼‍♀️ my little girl is obsessed and i have no idea where to start!!

Self settling

Any tips or advice of how to teach 6.5month old to self settle? I’m up multiple times in the night to cuddle her back to sleep and put the dummy in. I understand she will wake up and want a cuddle etc but any tips on self settling would be appreciated 🥰

Baby losing weight

Hi all, it's been a long time since I had a baby (my son is 15!). My daughter is 10 days old and was 9lb born, she has since lost weight at every appointment and is at a 12% loss. I am breast feeding every two hours for over an hour and topping her up every feed. I pump and can get 60ml in 10 minutes so I know my supply is okay. Anyone had this before? Can give me some tips? I currently feel like I'm letting my baby down.

Did I overreact?

I have had 3 c sections, recently had a wisdom teeth removal (4) to be exact and all my mom did was visit the day BEFORE and then she only sent 1 text. She has NEVER spent one full day with me and doesn’t acknowledge my achievements much. She just isn’t there when I need her to be. She claims she’s always working but she lives like 7 minutes away! she can come help with the kids so my husband can have break? we don’t ask her for much and she only sees the kids 1-2 a month. She also didn’t visit with my last c section. I told her that she should’ve gotten the abortion when she had the chance with me because why would you have me and neglect me emotionally? To not actually give me a present father in my life. I am very angry all she does is disappoint me. She only wants to show up for certain people in the family and I just want to grab her and shake her and ask her why can’t she be a good present mother?
