Nuna - PIPA urbn + TRIV next Travel System

We had a Nuna that was good, but then I rented a Bob jogger on vacation and fell in love with it. I ended up buying a Thule Jogger which is going strong with kid number 2, but the Bob is a great choice too. Joggers are just better with different terrain, hop curbs easy, and are simple. The Nuna was great if you're on a smooth sidewalk or something and had too many plastic parts

Joolz aer 2 and Nuna pipa URBN are what I’m doing for my nyc baby. This combo is most versatile for travel etc.

I LOVE my UB Cruz. I also have the Nuna Trvl, but honestly love the UB more because it handles more of my roughness very well. The Trvl is nice for quick trips or actually traveling. There is a Nuna Triv that’s half Mixx and half Trvl. It’s got the bigger wheels but a strap to swing over your shoulder. Might be better for the stairs.

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

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!

Update! For anyone interested, I decided to go with the Nuna Triv for these reasons: 1. lightweight and easy to deal with getting in and out of my car 2. compatibility with the pipa aire rx carseat which was my number one choice carseat (due to safety and weight) 3. push feel and easy of breaking down/setting up 4. there's also a bassinet attachment I can get (granted all of these are pricey so I'm looking for this on FB marketplace) Baby is due in November and I'll update on how we are faring soon after that!

I have a Nuna Triv, and I'm so happy with it. You can steer it with one hand, it has actual wheels (not the plastic garbage), so it can handle a good bit of terrain. It folds easily and is lightweight, so its easy to get in and out of the car. Fits in the xray machine at US airports. I used the Nuna Pipa Rx, and was so thankful that it was only 6lbs - baby gets heavy very quickly! My son is 19 months old and I still love my stroller.

We really like our Nuna Pipa car seat either Triv Next stroller. Of all the combos, the Triv Next seemed like the best balance of being lightweight/compact with a one hand fold, modular including bassinet option and world/parent facing, and being general full featured. The main features it doesn’t have a fully flat recline (which can be solved by using the infant car seat or bassinet option), and it can’t convert to be a double stroller (which we decided we’d rather buy a new double stroller that works best for us whenever that time comes).

Airplane? Carseat compatible? I'd start looking at YoYo. They are popular here. Edit: they also offer the bassinet option for the newborn and the one hand fold is rletty awesome. I ended up doing the nuna triv back in the day, but I wish I had done the yoyo.

Nuna triv. Don’t think twice about it. Will last you a long time. You can get a car seat and bassinet attachment to go with it. We love ours.

I highly recommend going to a baby store and test them out. There are a ton of factors that I never even thought about that influenced which setup I went with and having knowledgeable staff to help direct the conversation was huge. Stuff like having a parent facing option vs just world facing, how big it is folded (ex if it fits in your trunk), if you need to carry it up stairs, if you need it to convert to a double stroller some day, etc. I originally thought I could get away with a compact stroller but ended up going with the TRIV next with pipa air and bassinet. If you're in or near NYC, I highly recommend going to albee Baby on the upper west side (I believe Neiman Marcus also has displays though). The staff were super knowledgeable. Even if you don't buy it there they'll help you decide, but if you do buy it there they give you 20% off (as opposed to on the website where you get points for a future purchase equivalent to 20% off). Another alternative is to ask chat gpt... Lol

Seconding this! We had a yoyo for city stuff and a nuna for going through mud!

It is extremely sturdy with a metal frame, but lightweight and easy to push. Like, it glides so smooth haha. It’s also the only one I found that had a true one hand open/close. Also had the biggest basket. I have taken it on many airplanes and I even pushed it down the airplane aisle and it fit perfect. Some of the other travel strollers mentioned are okay, but seemed so cheaply made compared to the bugaboo. The Nuna travel stroller was nice too, but you had to use two hands because of this little latch.

I’ve been using the TRIV for 2 years. Love it. If I was to do it all over again I would still get the TRIV. Not sure why anyone would say it’s flimsy for neighborhood walks. Unless you live in a rural community with no sidewalks. The only time I had an issue was using it on cobblestone. My son was always on the small side (25th percentile) and we were able to use the TRIV seat at four months.

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. 

I tried them both in person and decided on the Nuna Triv Next. It was lighter, easier to manage, less bulky, one handed fold, able to gate check. We are also using the bassinet - the Uppababy bassinet was trickier for me and less intuitive and the stand showed scuffs easier. My partner really liked the storage under the Nuna Lytl bassinet

Seconding the Nuna triv for a lightweight stroller with parent facing option. The seat reclines all the way too. It's not as light as some true travel strollers but is the lightest one I found that parent faces. We recently took ours abroad and it worked well for traveling

I got the nuna next travel system and I was not impressed for the price. Granted I have nothing to compare it to but I expected it to be lighter and easier to get in and out of the car :/. Quality is good but wish I’d gone with a different option.

I also live on the 3rd floor and there is no elevator in my building. For me, the MOST important thing about our stroller has been it being lightweight and if I had to go back in time and buy it again that would be my number 1 priority. If you don't have an elevator, I would suggest you narrow stroller options to a list of the top 5 lightest options you can afford and go from there.  We got a Nuna Triv Next (on the pricier side, a family member gave us money specifically for a travel system) as it is lightweight but there are even more lightweight ones which I would consider if I were going back in time.  Once you've narrowed them down to lightweight options which are affordable for you, then compare them based on what else is important to you.  With the stairs and no elevator, I would say next important is how easily it folds and whether/how easily you can carry baby in part of it up the stairs whilst carrying the other part. For us, the bassinet part of the Nuna clicks out easily and I can then fold down the wheel section very easily and have worked out how to carry both at once. This is where something like the Yo-yo or Joolz Aer+ would be even lighter and easier. I think Joolz Aer+ even has a special shoulder strap for carrying!  Then I'd consider things like  - what sort of surfaces will you be using it on (eg off-road, bumpy pavements/sidewalks etc Vs smooth surfaces and shopping malls) - some of the very lightweight prams have wheels with less good suspension. For us that's what swayed us to the Nuna Vs Yo-yo or Joolz Aer - although they were lighter, we wanted wheels that could cope with city centre but also off road for when we escaped into the countryside.  - storage: do you need to be able to fold it all down and store in a very small space in your home? Or do you have space for it to stay up? Etc. if you need it to fold right down the Yo-yo would be a good option as it can fold WITH THE BASSINET ON IT!  - longevity: how long you want to be able to use it for. Do you need it from Newborn? (you'll need either a bassinet attachment or the seat will need to recline to fully flat) Are you planning to have multiple children with a small age gap and therefore it is worth getting a stroller which has the ability to turn into a 2-seater in the future?  - other lifestyle things such as will you be flying a lot and want something that can go in and overhead locker? (Very few options out there so if this is important to you, this will narrow down the field significantly.) Again Yo-yo can do this.  But start with looking for the lightweight options and go from there :) Hope this helps!  Edited to change "lift" to "elevator" for clarity in the post (I'm from the UK and default to saying "lift"!) 

I'm in exactly the same dilemma and debating between the same two models! I like the feel and quality and sturdiness of the nuna, esp the carrycot (which we'd probably buy second hand with either modell. Nuna was my original 1st choice, but now debating on the joolz aer 2, which is significantly lighter, and also has a bigger carry basket. For travel and getting around I think that lighter weight could probably make a huge difference in London, esp since we live in a third floor flat and don't own a car. 

We’re obsessed with our Triv Next!

I just bought the Minu v3 today!! The local baby store had literally just gotten it in. We currently have the Nuna triv and wanted a travel stroller to keep in the car. I brought my 13 mo son and tried out the bugaboo, joolz and the minu V3. The minu was the best one out of all three. Easiest to fold up, has a flap on top to be able to see down to the baby, and easiest capability to expand the seat up/down. it was super helpful testing them out right beside each other!

I was reading this thread and i was gonna recommend the triv being seeing this update lol. The triv is amazing! Also got a yoyo for travels :)

Also due in April and have had the luxury of pushing a lot of strollers as a nanny! We went with the vista v3 as our workhorse stroller (will use every day for dog walks and occasionally put it in the car for big stroller days, like going to the fair or something like that), the Nuna travel stroller as our car/travel stroller, and the Nuna pipa for our infant seat (attaches to the travel without an adapter). Were covered for walks from infant (with the bassinet or the car seat) through and don’t have to lug the vista in the car every time. It truly is so life dependent though. I’ll be a SAHM so most of my life is at home with our dog. If you go on tons of walks and need something more durable, a big stroller might be worth the investment. I will say I did nanny for a family and our daily stroller was the silver cross jet, which is fantastic, but the wheels wore down much quicker than a big stroller and baby had to be 6 months before we could use it. There are tons of second hand V2 on MP, but there’s also tons of travel strollers on there too!

I think the challenging thing I’m seeing here is that you don’t plan on using an infant bucket seat - I had a similar wish list, and in my research there weren’t many travel strollers that were “newborn ready” without a bucket seat or bassinet attachment. All options that I found required some head control (about 4 months old minimum) before you could safely use the seat. I think maybe the new Nuna Trvl LX miiight be newborn ready? The bugaboo butterfly was awesome but technically not newborn safe (though there are hacks…which I was not willing to do with my newborn haha). We went with the Nuna triv next for the one hand, compact fold. We did end up going with a bucket seat instead of straight to convertible for convenience, but it had an option for the bassinet attachment as an alternative. We are in the northeast and used it in the winter without issue. We love it so far…but we really could only switch to the regular seat (even fully reclined) when she was 4.5 months old.
