Infant Car Seat & Stroller

The Doona is a genuinely innovative product - an infant car seat with integrated wheels that transforms into a compact stroller at the push of a button. However, the convenience comes with safety trade-offs parents should understand.

THE INNOVATION: No adapters, no separate stroller, no leaving baby in the car while you set up. The Doona handles curbs, stores, and airports seamlessly. For urban parents and frequent travelers, this convenience is life-changing.

SAFETY CONCERNS (IMPORTANT): While Doona meets all US federal safety standards and has a 5-star NHTSA ease-of-use rating, independent crash testing by BabyGearLab found concerning results:

• Higher-than-average G-forces on the dummy
• Higher Head Injury Criterion (HIC) scores
• One of the highest chest clip forces tested
• Rated as "one of the worst performers" in their crash test group

Consumer Reports also gave it only a "Better" (middle tier) crash protection rating, not "Best."

NOT SOLD IN CANADA: The Doona is not approved for sale in Canada, which some safety advocates view as a red flag.

WEIGHT CONSIDERATION: At 16.5 lbs with wheels, it's the heaviest "infant seat" option and can strain your back during longer carries.

VERDICT: The Doona is best for urban parents who prioritize convenience and understand they're accepting lower crash performance than traditional premium seats. If safety is your primary concern, consider the Nuna PIPA aire RX or Chicco KeyFit 35 with a separate lightweight stroller.
