DOONA CAR SEAT & STROLLER WORTH THE MONEY ???
DOONA CAR SEAT & STROLLER WORTH THE MONEY ???
Is the Doona Car Seat \u0026 Stroller worth the money?
In our opinion absolutely NOT!
The Doona’s main issue is its extremely short life span vs other products on the market.
We also had plenty of other issues with this product.
This is the video we wish we had seen before we purchased ours.

0.06 -> what is going on YouTube world I'm your brother
Reza this is your sister cat and then this is your
4.56 -> nephew PSY and we are KRT live KRT live with
the Y like subscribe comment all these things
8.82 -> today's review is all about the Duna the Duna
is known as the Swiss army knife of the uh child
16.38 -> seat Community if you're one of those kind of
enthusiasts like us but is it all that is cracked
21.48 -> up to be and is it really worth your money we're
gonna find out right now [Applause] all right
31.74 -> all right y'all so it's been eight months since
we've been using the Duna stroller in midnight
39.18 -> what did I just say next Monday will be nine
months oh as you if you're watching this video
43.68 -> you're probably very familiar with this thing
already you've probably seen before how it works
46.98 -> really cool or really simple in theory all you
do like this is seem to be very versatile yes
52.5 -> you like that boom you got a car seat and then you
press this button back here and then you come back
57.3 -> again and you have a stroller don't have to take
your baby out don't have to do anything like that
61.5 -> this thing costs about the one that we got cost
us somewhere around 800 I'll put the correct price
67.26 -> because we had a special midnight Edition that
came with the extra bag it has like a leather
73.86 -> um handle handles yeah so and it's all black so
ours came a little bit more expensive I think
80.46 -> regular donut costs about what 600 bucks yes I
think no the entry level Doodles are like 550
85.86 -> and then it goes up from there okay so yeah so
uh so we saw the stroller we thought it was very
91.32 -> very Sleek very sexy in theory we thought it was
great but for us it did not work so much and now
97.8 -> let me just preface this whole conversation with
this your results will vary based upon your baby
102.84 -> your lifestyle what kind of cars you drive all
those different things but these are our results
108.72 -> with our lifestyle so we're going to start with
our pros and why we got this thing so number one
114.24 -> we got it because in theory it just looks great
it seems like it's a simple thing it's Sleek it's
118.98 -> sexy we saw a bunch of people in Miami and other
places that we travel with these things and we
123.72 -> were like you know what we should give it a go
and um that's pretty much where the pros stopped
133.28 -> [Music]
134.28 -> they turn out completely something different
for us yeah so my wife and I we both wrote Our
139.44 -> pros and cons uh separately and when we compared
our notes we both had the same pros and cons so
144 -> we're gonna follow the notes and we're gonna
tell you all the cons now and why we stopped
148.14 -> using this thing after less than three months
in so the number one con and just the overall
153.66 -> headers that this thing is great in theory but
it's not so great in real life and there's a
158.52 -> bunch of reasons why number one for us yes be
mindful We're Not Gonna repeat that every time
163.32 -> for us for us but number one this thing is
a bit too narrow and a bit too deep and our
169.62 -> son was born pretty large so yeah so our son was
born almost two pounds bigger than we anticipated
176.46 -> he was almost nine pounds and he was very long
for the newborn baby it's almost 22 inches so
182.46 -> even without all the inserts inside the Duna he
was feeling pretty squeezed in there so he would
190.92 -> get aggravated very fast and yes I know a lot of
babies don't don't like to sit in the car seats
196.08 -> and some do but he just hated it no matter how
many times we tried to make him get used to it
202.5 -> so after a little while we realized that he's it's
too narrow for him he's not comfortable and it's
210.24 -> getting too hot in in there for him and I've heard
the too hot thing is from multi from multiple
216.54 -> people we have several people that we know and uh
every single person said yes it's getting too hot
222.18 -> in there right that was the first one that did not
work out and even in the winter time he was still
227.52 -> getting too hot and didn't like it so yeah it
was too hot it was too narrow it was too deep uh
232.56 -> your child can grow out of it really fast it was
another thing that we both agreed on and in our
237.12 -> sense he was almost born too big for this stroller
to be honest with you uh because very short period
243 -> yeah because we couldn't do road trips we couldn't
go anywhere far with this stroller he would sit in
247.44 -> and he would complain like he would just like
he would see the stroller and he would get mad
252.18 -> and his shoulders would be like this and I mean
he's you know he's a little Beefcake but he's not
257.28 -> that brawny of a baby but he's not a like a chubby
baby but it still was very narrow for him we have
263.76 -> a neighbors who have a small baby girl and for
her it seems to working out better because she
269.46 -> is much smaller she's more narrow she's not as
tall for us was definitely no go yep so another
275.94 -> thing that we both agreed was really not so great
about this thing is this Center clip right here
280.5 -> that goes between the legs of your baby so that
thing never really fully disengages easily you
285.9 -> have to mess with it several times while you're
trying to uh clip your baby free and it's just not
291.36 -> yeah it just doesn't operate as seamless as you
would think um another thing is that this thing
296.7 -> is not as easy to put in your car as it seems
depending on what type of car you have but we
301.02 -> live in the city we're always in tight parking
spaces and getting it in and out can be uh it's
307.02 -> like it's just like you're literally putting a
car seat in and out of your car every single time
310.44 -> but you don't think about it like that because
it seems so cool and sexy but with the combined
315.72 -> weight of this and you're in your kid and this
thing is 17 pounds and then in whatever weight
320.64 -> your kid is it can be very cumbersome putting
this thing in and out of your car every time
324.42 -> yeah there was definitely very heavy for me to put
in and out especially with him uh so is my mother
331.68 -> and then another thing right so it comes
with the base but you can clip it with the
337.32 -> um seat belt so we use my mom's car when we came
from the hospital because she was picking us up
342.24 -> her car is a little smaller her seat belt we kind
of struggled putting it clipping it with a seat
348 -> belt because the seat belt seemed almost not long
enough but it's like but you can use the direct uh
354.6 -> clipping mechanism with the base if you have the
base but we did we didn't have the base that day
359.4 -> for some reason yeah so make sure you use the
base because it's much easier especially with
362.94 -> modern vehicles to clip it in with the base
because it has those Quick Connect things
367.98 -> um so it's not so easy to put in the car and
okay so it's not a great stroller and let me
371.94 -> preface this that you know when something is a
multi-use thing like this when it's a car seat
376.02 -> and a stroller it ends up being a not so great
either one of them and we I really realized that
382.98 -> when we got our uh upper baby and our new Nuna
strollers those strollers have better tires it
389.82 -> has suspension it's comfortable it's wide it gives
you all these other features that make the whole
395.4 -> stroller ring experience a lot better for you and
for your baby versus this has no suspension the
402 -> tires are pretty small everything you roll
over it's like bumping your baby so unless
406.62 -> you're just like rolling around the mall or any
other shopping area that's really smooth and easy
411.6 -> to walk this stroller right here does not work
outside of shopping can't change the seating angle
417.6 -> yes can't change the seating angle that's a big
thing and because you know as your child develops
422.34 -> and grows and starts looking around more and can
control their neck muscles they're going to start
426.06 -> wanting to sit up and see the world they're not
going to want to be confined in this deep Cavern
430.5 -> this deep hot Cavern that is this stroller and
yeah that was one thing that really aggravated my
437.82 -> son trying to use this thing as a stroller and um
the other thing about it is that it's really not
442.92 -> that great of a car seat either because of all the
reasons that we already mentioned and it's like
447.9 -> when you pull your kid out of the stroller when
you put your kid in the stroller it wakes them up
453 -> it shakes them too much it's too hot it's too deep
um yeah oh oh you know what else and speaking of
460.56 -> this bag we can go back to this really expensive
bag that we had to add on the storage Factor man
466.26 -> that storage Factor on the Nuna on the upper baby
strollers that we use now so much better than only
473.34 -> having this bag like so I know this thing comes
with additional you can get an additional storage
480.42 -> that Clips right here and it works but it's still
small and I know for those people who's gonna say
487.92 -> well you guys expecting too much this is just a
pretty much a car seat with the wheels yes it is
493.32 -> but it's expensive car seat with the wheels and it
would be great to have additional features built
499.08 -> into it if we paint that kind of price because our
travel Noona stroller was cheaper than this thing
505.26 -> yeah by far almost half while we're talking about
the bag do you want to say anything else about the
509.7 -> bed because I didn't really use it that much the
back was good it's small which I mean I guess it's
514.62 -> expected it's just a quick storage right it has
like compartments I didn't mind the bag the bag
520.14 -> was good until it lasted but then when he started
getting older we start carrying a little bit more
525.24 -> diapers more food this that the other and the
things quit fitting into it but it does clip on
530.52 -> really conveniently I can show you all that it
does like this and like this it has these cool
536.4 -> little click on things so the bag is cool but
you know it's it's just it's a lot of price
543 -> that you pay so overall this thing is expensive
like super expensive we paid eight something
549.12 -> for it which I didn't realize we paid that much
but in conclusion let's wrap this up how do we
555.96 -> I guess if you would ask me would have bought this
now after trying it out no absolutely not it was
565.02 -> very short-term use and it's even shorter
term used for us due to our circumstances
571.98 -> uh very hot very heavy we're driving High cars
and they're not even lifted but it was very comp
578.58 -> like it was difficult for me to it was difficult
for me to put it in so um is it really worth the
587.04 -> money you think absolutely not I think that you're
better off getting a proper stroller and a proper
591.96 -> car seat that can grow with your kid for like six
seven eight years until they don't need a booster
597.6 -> seat and they don't need a stroller anymore versus
spending you know 800 like we spent for this and
603.9 -> we only got we let we have probably two and a
half months of use out of it yeah so funny fact
609.3 -> is right our older daughter it's been a while so
my husband must not remember but um when we were
616.5 -> buying this and we wanted a new cool hot items
seemed to be so versatile so cool I said we're
623.34 -> not going to be able to use this for longer than
six months that's what I was predicted right yeah
628.14 -> people say oh you can use it up to a year and
yeah it depends on the baby you probably could
632.94 -> I think that's a stretch our daughter was super
wiggle warm she wanted to be out and about she
639.12 -> did not want to sit in this thing for too long
she wanted something bigger more comfortable
643.92 -> and I expected the same thing with thigh and but
we bought it we thought it was cool and I agreed
651.24 -> I'm like man this is gonna be so easy and so
convenient at least for first three four months
656.82 -> there was a complete fail for us yeah right
so in summary everybody's situation is going
664.5 -> to be different but for us it's a definite
skip I would never buy this thing again even
668.94 -> though it is really cool and really sexy and
attractive doesn't really work in real life and
673.8 -> you're better off buying a proper car seat and a
proper stroller so that's our consumer advice we
679.08 -> are currency life character life with the Y like
subscribe comment all that and then some of the
682.74 -> videos coming up we're going to be talking about
the car seats and the strollers that we do like
686.7 -> because we have been collecting these because
we are aficionados of this type of things we
691.5 -> like to try things out for sure to find the best
oh and I forgot to tell y'all yeah this is not
696.36 -> a pay uh review obviously because we just bashed
this thing I don't want to want a terrible thing
703.08 -> for us with the size of the sun with the bigger
cars or the taller cars you know and then maybe
709.86 -> maybe you would live in the wrong climate for this
thing maybe you need to live where it doesn't get
714.66 -> super crazy hot I don't know but for us it doesn't
work for some people well they loved it we stopped
721.8 -> several people in Miami and asked hey how do you
like it and they're like oh I would love it this
725.7 -> is my second child and if I would have done the
that's the first time around I would have loved
730.14 -> it too yeah and then for us it was complete fail
so all right so we'll see you on the next video
742.16 -> [Music]
743.16 -> thank you [Music]
