Is the Doona X Worth It? An Honest Review for Traveling Families

The Doona X is one of the most talked about products of the year, but is it really worth the hype or is it just another trend? Here at Hazel & Fawn, we spend a lot of time listening to parents and helping them pick out the right gear for their family. We take pride not only in our selection of quality products, but also in our ability to match the right product to the right family. 

Here’s our take on who the Doona X was designed for so you can decide if it’s right for you. 

Who Gets the Most Out of the Doona X?

The Doona X was designed for on-the-go metropolitan parents and families that travel frequently. Its slim size, easy conversion, and additional safety features simplify transitions from one space to the next and ensure that you’re little one will always feel at home, no matter where you go. 

The Doona X might be for you if you're a:   

• Frequent flyer: The Doona X is FAA compliant and compact enough to fit in most overhead bins or gate-check situations. No more renting sketchy airport strollers. Double bonus – it also safely latches into most airplane seats, so your baby can sit in their own seat throughout the flight.
  
• City parent: Navigating restaurants, shops, rideshares, and public transit with a separate car seat and stroller is exhausting. The Doona X collapses the two into one, so you never need to worry about where to store your stroller frame. Plus, the Doona car seat works perfectly even without the base. 
  
• Parent with a small car or home: Tight on trunk space? The Doona X folds flat and takes up significantly less room than a full travel system. And it’ll fit perfectly in a small closet or entryway.  
  
• Babysitting grandparent: One purchase works across multiple vehicles with or without the LATCH base. No extra equipment required to stay with grandma.
  

What to Keep in Mind

The Doona X costs more than the standard infant car seat, which is important to keep in mind if you’re shopping on a budget. It also is designed for babies up to 35 pounds. It’s a baby-only product and you will need to purchase a new car seat and stroller once your little one reaches the toddler-stage. 

It's an investment. But for the families who need it, it genuinely replaces two products and saves real time and hassle every single day.

Our Verdict

The Doona X is the perfect integrated stroller and car seat system for traveling families, city dwellers, and anyone fed up with the car seat shuffle. It’s a premium product designed to make modern parenting easier. If you’re still on the fence, stop by or give us a call.
