Baby Gear Awesomeness!!!
August 18, 2016
I just received my Doona and I'm absolutely in love!!! I first saw a promo video for this baby gear awesomeness well over a year ago and I knew that if I had another baby this would be first on the list of things to buy. I purchased my first travel system through Albeebaby.com and was so pleased with them that I immediately went to their website again hoping they carried the Doona. Baby J isn't due until December but I couldn't pass up the amazing accessory bundle with purchase. Price is a bit on the high end but it's worth every penny not to have to lug the giant stroller around to click the carseat into and the quality it top notch!!! I'm having a girl but decided on the Storm color so we can use it for future children as well, I was a bit concerned it would be too drab but it's absolutely stunning. My 6 year old already loves it and can't wait for his baby sister to get here so he can push her around in it. We travel often and I can already tell this is going to be amazing and super convenient. I've watched MANY videos and read many reviews on the Doona explaining the quality and I was still amazed by just how awesome it really is.

Good concept
August 17, 2016
After using the stroller for 3 weeks while traveling I can say that the stroller is ok. I do not recommend this as your every day stroller! It is very heavy once you put your baby in it and lifting it to put it in the car can be a hassle. The cushion is plasticky and the baby was sweating like crazy, it is very narrow and if you have a heavier baby it's not comfortable for them. After 2 weeks I had to purchase a different stroller because my daughter wouldn't stay in the Doona anymore. I think it's an amazing concept and a good quality car seat overall. I recommend this for babies from birth to 5 months for traveling purposes only.
Pros
  • Good quality materials
  • Foldable wheels
  • Sturdy and safe harness
Best Uses
  • For traveling or in the city
Cons
  • The fabric of the stroller makes the baby sweat more than other car seats
  • A little heavy once the baby is in it

Excellent purchase
August 11, 2016
Definitely heavier than our old car seat but once it transforms to a stroller, you can't beat the convenience. I wish we had this stroller when we had our older kids. No more lugging around another stroller with your car seat. Probably our best purchase this time around.

I love my doona!! I was debating on the doona or the quinny buzz xtra and ended up getting the doona because my step son plays sports and I love the fact that it's a 2 in 1 and there is no need to carry the stroller separate from the car seat. It's very convenient and easy to use! Would totally recommend it and re purchase it in the future if i have another baby.

TRANSFORMER carseat/stroller- the coolest on the market! THE DREAM stroller for the flashy parent :-)
August 8, 2016
My husband and I already have our first batch of kids, our son is almost 14 and our daughter is 10. We were so stoked to find out that we are having another baby, and we had seen an ad for the Doona stroller a few years back. We made a blood oath (okay, a regular promise) that if we ever had another baby, we were going to splurge on that killer awesome TRANSFORMER stroller!But being the huge dork I am, I still did a million hours of research to make sure that the Doona was the BEST stroller on the market, and I researched to death the best price I could get. Albee won up and down, we ended up buying the stroller earlier than intended because they were running the INSANE free accessory package deal if we bought it now and also the FREE shipping. We didn't want to miss out, so we bought it!We haven't used the stroller yet, because our little package isn't due until December, but we got everything out with our over excited kids and checked everything out with the excitement of 10 Christmases. It's so amazing!!We can't wait to use it all the time!! Thanks for the amazing deal Albee, I admit this is our favorite purchase for our little Christmas elf due on Christmas Eve :-)God Bless you!

Amazing product!
August 3, 2016
If you're on the fence about purchasing the Doona, I would say purchase it even though the price is steep. The car seat is sturdy and easy to use. The handle has 2 positions. I'm 5'3" and don't have a problem using it on either level. My mom is about 5'7" and had no complaints about the handle height. The car seat and base are heavier compared to other brands I've used; however, they didn't have integrated strollers. Also, it's not so heavy you can't lift the seat into your vehicle, which is all of the lifting you need to do because it's meant for you to use the stroller and not carry it. The base was easy to install. The car seat is easy to install into the vehicle and uses the same install and removal systems as other brands without a stroller. The stroller is easy to release with the use of button. I would like for the wheels to release a little softer and quieter. As it is now, my baby is sometimes startled with the quick release of the wheels. To remedy this, I release the wheels close to the ground which gives me a quieter more controlled release.
Pros
  • The entire stroller/car seat combo.
  • Ease of use
  • Color options
  • Weight limit up to 35lbs
Best Uses
  • Everyday use.
  • City or suburban life.
Cons
  • Price- Expensive
  • The infant insert and side impact cushions are a light color. I would prefer a darker color to hide dirt/baby mess.

This seat is amazing! So much easier than carrying around a heavy seat or having to set up a separate stroller. It is heavy, but you really only need to lift it in and out of the car.
Cons
  • Heavy

July 6, 2016
I had been eyeing this car seat for a while but was debating on purchasing it mainly because of the price. I am so glad I made the purchase. Although I have had it for less than a month, I have used the stroller feature enough to say that I love the practicality of it. It is so nice not having to deal with an extra stroller base. I plan to travel in a few months and I know this seat will deliver! The car seat looks great and surprisingly does not take up much more space than a regular infant car seat. It is heavier but that is expected. If you are still thinking about it, I would highly recommend it!
Pros
  • The ride is surprisingly smooth
  • Easy to maneuver with one hand
Best Uses
  • Easy to use
  • Great for quick outings
Cons
  • Heavier than most

Doona Infant Car Seat
June 19, 2016
It is pricey, but worth every penny! Great design and functionality. My girl is coming in Aug. We have not get a chance to use it, but already install the base in the car, and can't wait to use it. It is easy to take on and off the car and the material is so soft to touch. If you are a parent on the go, you should do yourself a favor and get it. Highly recommended!

June 16, 2016
This is a dream for me since I am constantly driving my daughter to various therapies and appointments. To have the ease of being able to turn the baby's carseat into an instant stroller and not lug him/her around is going to be so worth it!
Pros
  • It opens and closes very easily, easy to install and click back into place. Turns/pushes so smoothly and easily, can operate with one hand. The multi positional handle is nice also. I Love the material and fabrics they chose, very nice quality. I got it in "dune" and it's very pretty.
Cons
  • Sun shade is definitely short, but I bought the extender and I love it! Easy to put on/off and provides coverage while still being able to allow air flow to baby. Also a little bit longer than my other infant car seat so I have to move my front seat up a bit so it's not touching.

Practical and Trendy!
May 17, 2016
We love our Doona! It is one of the best and wisest purchases we have made for our son. I can't even begin to say how convenient it has made our lives...car seat to stroller in seconds! Super stylish, trendy and great functionality.
Pros
  • We also love storage bag snap-on (purchased separately)...you can load it up with baby essentials and be hands-free as you stroll. Donna is also very compact; we have never had any issues with tight spaces.
Best Uses
  • Flat, smooth surfaces for the stroller function.
Cons
  • It's not the lightest to carry, especially when your baby starts to pack on pounds. However, there is no need to carry it around much, other than to place it in the car, because of the wheels.

Can't wait to use it!
May 11, 2016
Delivery was very fast and the color is exactly what I expected. Baby #3 is due in a couple weeks and I really think this is going to make life a bit easier with errands, extra curricular activities, and school drop offs with my two older kids. After playing around with it a little, it's very easy to use and maneuvers very well. It is a little heavier to lift in the car, but that's to be expected with it being a stroller too, but it's nothing I can't handle. So excited to use this!
Pros
  • So convenient for on the go parents.
Cons
  • The legs/wheels come down a little faster and harder than I thought they would. Not sure if it will wake up the baby every time or not. We shall see! Still think overall this will be totally worth it.

I couldn't wait to get the Doona! My baby won't be here til the end of July but I have been playing around with the stroller and love it. My 3 year old can't wait to push her brother in it either. It is a little bit heavier than other carriers, but seeing how I will only be lifting to put in car and take out it's not a big deal. My husband was a little standoffish about the price but when we started looking at other carriers and prices there wasn't a huge difference in what I wanted. Again, very excited about this purchase!!

Great but too heavy
April 11, 2016
The quality of this product is really amazing. Also very easy to open and close, easy to handle. The only huge drawback is its weight. For me, an average size/strength woman, extremely heavy to lift into a high SUV with the infant in it. Bummer, had to return for that reason.
Pros
  • Quality, practicality
Cons
  • Heavy
  • Pricey

Nitpicking
April 1, 2016
My only complains are that the wheels don't drop out gracefully or controlled. The wheels plop out with a jolt which kind of jostles my little one when getting her out. Also it's decently heavy with my little one in it, but that's only a problem when loading or unloading. The car seat is cushioned well and comfortable. The steering is easy. Comes with breaks too, which I didn't even think about. All and all so glad I splurged and made this purchase. So worth it for me.
Pros
  • Ease
  • Comfort
  • Convenience
Cons
  • Heavy
  • Bulky

As expected, and better!
March 18, 2016
I ordered two of the seats for my twins because I needed something easy to use and don't have a lot of extra room since I already have a toddler. When the seats arrived I immediately started playing with all the features to see how easy it really was to go from car seat to stroller. It was much easier than I expected! Usually strollers require several buttons to be pushed at the same time and sometimes you have to kick a piece to get it to fold out. This was not the case! It was truly a one step process and the wheels "fell" into place with ease. I questioned this purchase for months because of the cost, but it was totally worth it.
Pros
  • Easy to use
  • Space Saving
  • Time Saving
Best Uses
  • Small cars without a lot of space.
  • Busy families who don't want a lot of back and forth
Cons
  • Slightly heavy

Better than expected
March 14, 2016
I bought this, not exactly sure what to expect, but excited for the car seat/stroller all in one combo. I was expecting it to be huge, but was pleasantly surprised that it seemed no bigger than other infant carriers. It is slightly heavier than infant carriers without wheels, but you won't have to be lugging it around everywhere! With 2 older children, I was hoping this would come in handy on outings. Older child can push the stroller, while I hold toddler's hand! It took a time or two to get the hang of opening and closing the wheels, but it is very easy after that. Baby is not here yet, but the entire family is excited to put this to use!
Pros
  • Easy to maneuver, less equipment to haul around, quickly get in and out of the car
Cons
  • Price

Miracle Car Seat Stroller
March 13, 2016
This car seat stroller is so cool we even made a video showing us using it to show our friends! They are blown away at this stroller technology! It took just 25 seconds to unsnap my diaper bag, put the bag on, and with a few clicks snap the handle up and fold the wheels down and make it a ready to use car seat. How amazing is that when you want to hop in a cab? Another city essential for baby.The stroller handles really well, so you're not compromising your ride. And the car seat is sturdy, so no sacrifice on safety either. It's shockingly light for a car seat. The Dune Beige is the perfect neutral color. Not just gender neutral but an all round flattering, organic looking/natural, adult friendly color. It will match so many beautiful blankets and diaper bags. Never thought I would get so excited over a stroller!

Best EVER!!!!!
December 30, 2015
Ordered from Albeebaby.com and received my order exactly when they said it would. The Doona is hands down the best invention for on the go mothers. My son is a week old and with all the Doctors appointments and running to and from the store it has really come in handy. I start work in a week where I am able to bring little man with me and i so much look forward to not lugging around an additional stroller base. I can have everything i need for my son with the additional storage bag that attaches to the carseat stroler itself.I've read other reviews about the weight. I don't think its heavy like others have reviewed on. Seems extremely light weight to me.I'm pretty tall and was worried it would be to low to the ground, but for mmy 5'8 height its great. My husband is 6'2 and also finds the stroller at a great height for him to push around.
Pros
  • Small design
  • Easy to maneuver
  • Simple instructions
  • Easy fold
  • Great turn radius
Best Uses
  • Everything
Cons
  • Have not found any thus far

Best Carseat ever!!

I love this item with a passion. Having an unplanned c-section and not being able to lug around an actual car seat, this one came in handy for sure. Only have to lift from the ground to the car, and vise versa. We will be hanging on to this for any future children. Money well spent.

Recently purchased this car seat/stroller for my grandson. Plane travel with him and his mother was convenient. He was an 'infant in arms' on the plane, but only because we didn't purchase a separate ticket. Leaving it on the jetway was a snap- fold and cover in under 2 minutes. Wonderful and secure in our rental car, too! We got questions about this seat stroller everywhere we went.
Customer Images
Pros
  • Easy fold, lots of padding for baby
Best Uses
  • Travel, everyday
Cons
  • Needs a quick attach or leave on mom organizer for drink cups, etc. and baby bar and tray for toy attachment.
  • Is a bit heavy, but manageable

Love my Doona!
October 25, 2015
I use my Doona everyday! It is super convenient. The only complaint I have is that the car seat is very heavy and difficult to lift into the car. The sun visor is a bit short and little flimsy. I wish it extended more. I love the color! It handles SO well; much easier to push around than any other stroller. Worth every penny!
Pros
  • The wheels!
Best Uses
  • On the go parents and c-section recovery mamas (like myself - who shouldn't carry such weight for the first few weeks post partum).
Cons
  • Very heavy and very bulky, especially when securing into the car.

I had recently bought the Doona and all day travel bag from another company back in Aug. here it is 2nd week in Oct and they had not sent it yet. I bought this Doona from Albee Baby this past Friday and received it on Tuesday! My lil one is not here yet to put him in the Doona, but just messing around with it and seeing how it works I LOVE IT! Also love that my daughter will be able to push her little brother around when he gets out of the "newborn" stage.
Pros
  • Material is very soft!
Cons
  • When pushing the wheels out it is a little loud.

Love the doona but....
October 6, 2015
The doona is great and easy to use, I read a lot of reviews, and in some they talked about the leg straps being tight, I have seen a red mark on my daughter so I know what they are talking about, but with that being said I still love the doona, my daughter has never cried or acted like it is hurting her, and it is so great to use, user friendly & convenient. Also some of the accessories use the same attachment points so you can either use the back storage bag or the shade etc.
Pros
  • Works great, very convenient
Best Uses
  • Stilling, easy to use, and convenient
Cons
  • The bottom buckle should be a inch longer or adjustable so the leg strap does not leave red marks, also they should had made more accessories and be able to use more at same time (more attachment points), and make a bigger kid version

Omega (my grandson) and I are so happy with this chair because I dreamed of it and then I knew someone had created it. Because of the all the trouble opening a stroller, leaving the baby unattended while you do it, and then waking the baby up while you take him out of the car seat and put him in the stroller, or struggling to attach the car seat to the stroller, I knew there was someone out there that knew my pain. I have 7 grandchildren and Omega is the last of the bunch. He is such a big healthy baby that all that work is just is too much. Omega's doona car seat stroller is a dream come true. People see me take the car seat out of my jeep, pop the wheels down like the classic 747 and wow they exclaim, "is that a car seat?!" I smile and say, yes, yes it is...thank you
Customer Images
Pros
  • It is the most convenient stroller that I have ever seen. Nothing compares in terms of being compact and functional. The inside cushion is very soft and cradles him. Omega can go to sleep in his chair right after I feed. Just look at the pictures! He is awesome and therefore deserves an awesome seat.
Best Uses
  • Taking my Omega anywhere I have to go with ease and pride!
Cons
  • My Omega is a healthy baby and will soon outgrow his dream stroller. You should make one bigger stroller car seat for toddlers, big ones!

Love the Doona!!!
August 17, 2015
So far I have had this item for about a month and it is amazing and so convenient to have. With four children trying to lug around a carseat with a child in it while juggling three others can get pretty hectic and complicated at some times but with this car seat it has made life easier. I can hold my two youngest (who can walk) hands and my oldest loves to push the baby in the doona so making our way up to a store from the vehicle is so much easier. We went to the mall of America and it was so easy to manuever around the stores and the busy halls. The only thing that is a slight downfall is the weight of this car seat, I don't ever carry it but lifting it into the vehicle is a little bit of a pain (in the back). It took a little while to figure out all the buttons and how it has to be positioned to get it to work properly but it comes with instructions that are easy to understand. Just walking in Walmart we had so many people commenting on it and asking about it!! Definitely would recommend to any parents whether its your first child or fourth child its an amazing product and you will not be disappointed by the Doona!!! Oh and the interior of it is soft and it comes with alot of newborn padding that is extremely soft so it will do its job to keep your little bundle of joy safe and sound!!!!

The way of the future
July 30, 2015
First off, I'm a small person, I have a 15 pound 2 month old and this carrier is 15 pounds. Long story short...when the baby is in the carrier it's heavy to carry and lift into my tall Yukon, but guess what? I don't care because this thing is AWESOME. It is worth the weight because the stroller aspect saves so much time and energy in the long run. I have a 20 month old too and this is really helpful when trying to wrangle them in or out of the car. Bless these Doona creators, I wish they'd made this sooner!

I bought to the DoonaCarseat ahead of my due date, but I have had a fast delivery and great customer service and support while inquiring about the product. I the carseat itself is very convenient and easy to use. It can be a little heavy when it's used outside of its function but once you learn to open the stroller smoothly after unlocking the wheels it's easy.
Pros
  • Very convenient, easier than taking infant out of carseat at every stop. A durable product that isn't easy to scratch or break. A 6yr old can operate it.
Best Uses
  • Strolling on even terain; Avoiding back pain while caring for and infant.
Cons
  • Safety functions to use the stroller make it harder to maneuver from carseat to stroller smootlthly.
