How to Choose a Travel System: Why the Doona X Stands Apart

As an expecting parent, wading through all the travel system options can feel overwhelming. There are dozens of options — separate car seats and strollers, car seat + stroller combos, all-in-one systems — and the differences can feel overwhelming. Not only do you want the safest for your little one, but you also want something that’s designed for daily use. You’ll be folding that stroller and clicking in that car seat hundreds, maybe even thousands, of times. Thankfully, the Doona X is here to help simplify things. 

What Is a Travel System?

A travel system typically refers to an infant car seat that’s compatible with a stroller frame. The car seat clicks into the stroller frame and allows you to move your baby from stroller to car seat without disturbing them. 

The problem with traditional travel systems is that you’re required to carry two separate pieces of equipment. In order to accommodate the weight of the car seat, the stroller frame is often bulky and will need to be stored in your car while you drive. And, because they’re separate, you’ll be assembling and dissembling the system over and over again. For those who travel frequently on the day-to-day – especially for those who take public transportation or need to use multiple vehicles – the struggle adds up. 

How the Doona X Changes the Equation

With the Doona X, that process is completely streamlined. The Doona X travel system acts as an integrated system. The fully certified infant car car seat is attached to the stroller frame and the folded stroller clips directly onto the car seat base. You just lift your baby out of the car, unfold the legs, extend the handle, and you're done. Plus, you never need to create extra storage for your stroller frame. The convenience of a Doona is unmatched, which is why it’s one of our most popular products.

This matters especially for:

• Parents who use multiple vehicles or public transportation 
  
• Parents who travel frequently by flights 
  
• Parents who navigate urban environments with limited space 
  
• Parents who take a lot of quick trips daily
  

What to Look for When Comparing Travel Systems

When evaluating a travel system, safety and your baby’s comfort are the most important considerations. The Doona X meets the newest standards in car seat and stroller safety ratings. This updated Doona also offers three different seat recline positions, all new comfortable materials, and ergonomic inserts. Plus, the LATCH base means your baby is extra secure when you drive. 

The Doona X also demystifies the shopping process. Most other travel systems are sold as separates or come with additional features that you can’t use in the first year with your little one. The Doona X is a one-stop-shop that’ll have all your baby’s travel needs covered. This means no extra seats sitting in the back of your closet, no math to figure out overlapping weight limits, and no extra adapters.
