As a parent myself, my partner and I have tried a wide variety car seats, prams and strollers over the years. There are a few things that we like to consider before committing to a purchase. The price point, the aesthetic appeal and most importantly, ease of use.
Now, we all understand the importance of keeping our children safe while travelling in the car. That’s why we often invest time researching and picking out the best car seat for our little ones. Many full systems come with a car seat that clips onto a pram chassis, or alternatively is left in the car with a carry cot or pram that you simply clip to the chassis. Don’t get me wrong some of these systems are great but they do have some drawbacks.
One issue is the lack of boot space when the pram is stowed away, leaving little space for shopping, not good for a large family as I’m sure you can imagine. There is also the torturous task of removing a sleeping baby from a pram in order to load them into the car seat. Obviously leading to a screaming and distressed child that you now need to calm down before struggling to load your enormous pram and ten bags of shopping into the car boot.
This is where the Doona comes in. It’s a car seat that not only guarantees the safety of your child but because of it’s unique design, it’s extremely convenient. The Doona is the first and only infant car seat with integrated wheels that transforms into a stroller in seconds. When in car seat mode, simply press a button and the wheels drop down. Click the handle into position and off you go! This eliminates the need to transfer your baby to a separate stroller, making it the perfect option for short trips to the school, the shops or running errands.
As a car seat it is super safe, with an anti-rebound bar that helps to reduce impact forces in the event of a collision and an easily adjustable 5-point harness system. As a stroller it is lightweight and easy to manoeuver and looks pretty cool too. Add in the isofix base and you have a fantastically convenient setup. I can honestly say that out of all of the prams we have had throughout our 21 years of parenting the Doona is our favourite by far!
Additionally, there are various accessories available like a rain cover, insect net, a cup holder, nappy bag and clip on bags to name a few, making it even more practical for everyday use.
Overall, the Doona carseat is the perfect combination of convenience and safety. It’s designed to make the lives of busy parents easier, and achieves this on every level. If you’re in the market for a new car seat / stroller, we highly recommend you to consider the Doona carseat. You will not be disappointed.
