Is the doona stroller heavy?

I found it heavy to lift with baby in it, so when transferring from stroller to car seat / collapsed - also found it didn’t have great suspension. Most people I know have been able to use it until one year x

thanks !

Can't comment on the weight, bu I read they don't have the best safety rating as a car seat. I've also seen some around and they look really small and don't have storage space under the seat. We didn't get one in the end as it would have been uncomfortable for hubby to push being so short as he is tall and I think my little one would have grown out of it far too quickly (he's a long baby).

They are ok for short trips but because they are car seats baby shouldn't be in them for a huge amount of time at once. So I think it's half an hour for newborns and then no more than 90 mins for older babies. Just something else to consider x

It’s heavy compared to over systems but you don’t have to carry it far because you just put it in stroller mode as soon as you can. I thought it was worth the buy. We travel a lot so having a car seat & stroller with us always was worth the few minutes you might have to carry it. Also was great if you get to a place and there’s no elevator or only an escalator- just colapse and use the stairs/escalator. Highly recommend if you’ll be using a lot of alternative transport (ubers, car rentals, flights etc.) and don’t want to carry a lot. Both our kids outgrew the height requirement a little over one year.

well I would take the train sometimes. I was wondering if it’s too heavy to go up some stairs or manageable 😅

It’s very manageable. If you can lift 30-40lbs you should be fine. I think the system is like 15lbs plus whatever your baby weighs. It’s really not that bad at all. I just liked the convenience of not having to think about carrying a separate car seat while on the move. Saved us a bunch of times when we were out and about and needed to hop on a Uber last minute. I always recommend it, but I understand it may not be ideal for everyone.

It’s definitely heavier but worth it. It just makes coming and going places so so quick and simple.
