Nuna - TRIV next

The Triv is amazing, works in every setting, and it's perfect for NYC

We also did the Triv as a compromise and wound up buying the Joolz Aer for travel. I couldn't run errands with the Aer's basket so if we only had one it would be the Triv.

We use a Nuna Triv Next. It checked all of our boxes as our single stroller... it's pretty small and light!

We have the Triv Next. It's slightly bigger, but we like it because it is bassinet compatible and it allows you to turn the seat to face you vs face out. We loved the Trvl too, but ultimately those were our deciding factors.

Nuna TRIV Next. Definitely pricey, but I'm so happy with it. We tried out a lot of strollers before purchasing this one

I have the triv next as my only stroller, I live in a rural area and it doesn't go on the bumpy roads. I use it only for paved sidewalks and trails, grocery stores, coffee shops, etc. I really love that it's easy to maneuver, doesn't feel flimsy and is light enough for me to manage on my own. It takes up about half of my Mazda cx 5 trunk. If you are a big trail walker, you'll probably want a Bob as a secondary stroller which you can get second hand easily. Overall I've loved ours, I've treated it pretty rough the past year and it's still working great.

We got nuna triv next with the bassinet and so far it's great! The only fuss is that you have to switch attachments when you want to mount the car seat on the stroller. We use bassinet quite a bit because the baby can get hot in the car seat after a drive.

Yes! I think if I lived in the suburbs, I'd have cared a lot less about the type of stroller. However in NYC you really do need something that is fit for your specific use case. I got a Nuna because it's super light but doesn't feel flimsy and has an amazing one hand hold. I live in a walk up and use the subway a lot which equals A LOT of stairs. We looked at a few cheaper alternatives, but they were either heavy or flimsy.

I took lots of Ubers and just used a travel system that was light and offered latch or European belt path installation. I just had to pop the stroller part in the trunk after a one-hand fold. Still in that same stroller with a toddler seat at 20 months and still loving it.

I did the Nuna Urbn and Triv combo.

We have the triv next as our only stroller and we love it! We're in a suburban area so we mainly use it for walking around the neighborhood or trips to the zoo, etc. it doesn't feel flimsy and it's so easy to use. Especially freshly PP I was grateful it was easy for me to collapse and put in my trunk. We do have the bassinet and I don't think it's necessary, but it's nice to have depending on your lifestyle. I love to walk outside. I had my baby in early May and the bassinet has been great for morning walks because it's been warm in the mornings and the car seat attachment just gets sooooo hot in warm weather. It's basically insulated. She's much more comfortable in the bassinet. If I had my baby at a cooler time of year then I would probably skip it.

It's really a lifestyle question. I live in a walk up in NYC and use public transit a lot. So we got a Nuna Triv next, knowing we would go up and down stairs all the time. It's light and compact, but not quite a travel stroller. It also allowed for a bassinet attachment and parent facing seat. It also is small enough not to take up the whole trunk of our car. Overall very happy with that choice for our specific circumstances. If we lived in the burbs, I'd honestly get something cheap or on marketplace since you're driving everywhere anyway.

The new Joolz Aer2 has a full recline. Do you technically need a bassinet if it has a full recline and you are confident strapping the baby in? I think the nice thing about the Nuna Triv/Swiv is that the Lytl Bassinet comes with a stand. So you also get a portable travel and secondary bassinet. That is great for setting up a bassinet in a living room or office while one parent stays up with baby and the other parent gets protected sleep in the bedroom. However it's now a $500 retail, but i'm pretty sure you can buy on facebook market place and plan on selling it later to recoup most of the cost.

I got the nuna pipa car seat and nuna triv because it was 6lbs lighter than the uppa Cruz. I've only been using it for a few weeks and my only complaint is the under storage only loads from the front which can be annoying. We live in a walkable city so having a bigger under storage would have been nice

We are getting the Nuna Triv Next for this reason - can be gate checked, super light and easy to fold, one handed fold Once we tried it out in the store we were sold

She's my best friend since we were 5. My stuff is very gently used. My nuna stroller and carsest don't look like the ones you see online. They were both from 2023. Brand new and super clean. My son luckily never had blowouts or even puked on them. I tried selling and offers were 200. No one wanted to pay over 200. It was over 1k retail. I'm not being that nice to a stranger who could most likely afford it but just wants a deal.

My issue with the triv is that it doesn't lay flat, so it's 6 months and up. Also doesn't stand up on its own.

Wow, tied down! That's really unfortunate. You're welcome and I hope you find the stroller of your dreams. By the way, another feature that made me select this stroller is that it has the option to parent-face (as well as world-face). Parent-facing seats are a benefit to language development, cause less anxiety in children (according to studies), and it's nice to look at and chat with their little face as you explore the world together. Not many lightweight strollers have this ability at all. It's a big plus for me.

Should've specified 😅 TRIV Next

Nuna mixx or triv fits all of your wants! It's what I landed on

We have the Triv (Triv next wasn't out yet) and part of the reason we picked it was the collapsed size - our entryway is not that big, we're folding and lifting to store every time. Take measurements of where you're going to store it and compare it to the collapsed size.

I debated all of these and ultimately decided on the Nuna Triv due to the safety of the carseats that were compatible and the weight being easier to load in and out of a car. I live a suburban lifestyle in and out of cars a lot so that was most important to me. As an NYC resident, you might not need it to be so light as you're not hauling it in and out of cars as much. My cousin lives in NYC and swears by her Uppababy Vista being great for the ease of the ride and navigating the streets there. (Cruz would probably fare similarly!) I know there's a Bambi Baby store in Jersey that carries all the luxury brand strollers where you can try things out!

if you have a Graco car seat why not get a stroller that works with it? I'd personally go with baby jogger than graco strollers though, but that's a personal preference. But if you're not planning to use it as a travel system, if weight is what matters most to you then I'd do either nuna or joolz. It's true that nuna's quality isn't really up there compared to uppababy or cybex (depending on the cybex model), they're just more fashionable tbh. But with their weight and ease of use it is hard to beat. Joolz is much sturdier and better built, but I've heard both the fold and the suspension are pretty stiff on the joolz.

Are there any stores you can visit to try out strollers? It really does help to zip around with them in person. I have a Nuna Triv Next and I love it. I live on a second floor, accessed by stairs. This stroller rides smoothly and is lightweight, folds flat by simply lifting the handle (no buttons or levers), and is easy to push. I have taken it through winter snow and over bumpy ice without problem. I live in a metropolitan city and the stroller can definitely handle janky sidewalks and squeezing past people in narrow spots. There is a bassinet attachment, but in Canada (where I live) it's not available for sale. You can skip that by using a Nuna car seat as the seat until the child can sit up and use the regular stroller seat. Any Nuna Pipa car seat will fit it, and you don't need to buy any extra attachment for it.

A Nuna stroller! Lightweight and easy to fold with one hand, have gotten every penny out of that thing!

We bought a Numa stroller to go with our car seat, and recently a GB pocket air. We really regret the numa since it was expensive, is massive, and we never use it. Whenever we go places or on neighborhood walks, I always just carry our son in the carrier. The Numa has been used once, so we're trying to sell it. We're hoping to travel more with the little guy this year, so that's what prompted the much cheaper GB pocket purchase. Folds up really small so you don't need to check it on the plane. Will probably be our main stroller if we ever need one when not traveling too.

I think the UB Cruz or Nuna triv next are probably both good fits. I have the triv and my criteria was really similar to yours, and I love it. If you can, go to a Nordstrom with a solid baby department and try them out side by side.

General consensus is Joolz Aer usurped the yoyo for best lightweight travel stroller that fits in an airplane overhead. Swiv and triv are like light and easy to fold versions of the uppababy cruz. Triv/swiv allow the chair to face backwards towards a part which some people like during the transition out of the bassinet. Other parents don't care going straight to forward facing seats. The new joolz aer has a full recline which means you might be able skip buying a bassinet attachment if you feel comfortable strapping in the newborn. It seems like the hive mind 5 years ago was either yoyo or uppababy cruz. But these days it's definitely joolz aer, but a toss up between uppababy or nuna for the cruz/triv/swiv form factor. Cruz is harder to fold and bigger folded, but more durable. Triv/swiv is smaller folder, lighter, and has a one handed fold at the cost of durability. If you have an elevator building and storage space uppababy seems nice.... But if you need to carry a stroller up stairs in a walk up brownstone the lightweight nuna strollers might be a better option. I have both a swiv and aer+. I like having both for different types of outings. But probably should have gotten a used joolz aer to save money as a travel beater stroller.

When I was gear shopping I started at the top brand, and then worked my way down through the used market. So where I am the top brand stroller is Cybex, which is about 2000€-2500€ new. I kept my eye on the used market for Cybex and then researched anything someone would say was comparable. I eventually found a Nuna system used for 750€. All of our bottles, bottle warmer, and my pumps are used. At least 90% of our babies clothes are used as well. I got some great name brand stuff but I've bought it all at a fraction of the price.

If you're in the burbs you're buying a travel system that clicks into an installed car seat base, and you're going to buy an extra base for every vehicle you own.

I will sing the praises of the nuna triv next from the rooftops. I love that thing. We had an uppababy vista because we were planning for 2 under 2 and sold it a month after baby was here. Baby hated it, we hated it, it was clunky and bulky and not at all suited for our lifestyle. The nuna triv next has been amazing. We use it almost every day.

They only come bundled with certain strollers. Because of the weight limit and stroller I wanted, I just got a pipa aire. It will last longer than the urbn due to weight limits. The seatbelt hooks are easy to use.

NYC walk up resident here. If you plan on taking any public transit at all with the stroller you'll need something light. I have the 2nd smallest nuna (Triv) and honestly still struggle with stairs when alone. If stairs and transit are not part of your day, or your city actually has transit that's accessible, you're fine going heavier. You may also consider 2 strollers. One full size and one travel. Consider second hand as well for whichever you'll use less.
