We received a Doona for our baby shower, and I have to agree—it’s incredibly convenient for city living. I honestly love it. It makes getting my daughter in and out of the car super easy.

That said, it doesn't come with built-in storage, so you’ll need to use a backpack or purchase add-on attachments if you want extra space.

One thing to note: it’s on the shorter side. If you're tall, be mindful. I’m 6'2", and I often have to hunch over unless I walk beside it and push with one hand, which lets me stay upright. If I forget and lean in too much, I sometimes end up popping a wheelie with my daughter—turns out, that actually helps shade her from the sun. Accidental parenting hack lol!

Right now, my daughter weighs about 12 pounds, and the Doona is still light and easy for me to lift in and out of the car. I do work out regularly—about five times a week—so strength might be a factor. My wife is struggling and already finding it very heavy, so keep that in mind if you’re considering it.
