Nuna Tavo Next

Thread: "Are expensive strollers worth it?"

Short answer, yes. I looked pretty extensively at strollers but I did make a mistake. I got the Nuna Pipa Travel system. Great materials and sturdy. We use the stroller everyday on a non paved trail and on sidewalks/roads. The wheels stand the test. The material is nice and not plastic-y which I prefer. My mistake was getting one that was a stroller that turned to to a bassinet. I dunno, it just never happened. I should have gone with the one where you click the stroller or car seat. Would have been more convenient.

Thread: "Doona or something lighter?"

The Doona is really heavy and not rated highly for safety. It actually doesn’t meet safety standards in a lot of countries. If you’re going for convenience get the Nuna car seat and a Nuna trvl or other compatible travel stroller (I’ve heard the Joie version is really similar and that it’s compatible but the brand has not officially said it’s compatible). If you like uppa baby they have a decent travel stroller too.

Thread: "Nuna tavo + pipa urbn travel system or the chicco corso primo cleartex system?"

nuna Trvl stroller is the best. I have that one for travel and use the Nuna Mixx Next stroller for everyday. I have the Nuna Pipa RX infant carseat which fits into both and has been amazing. About to get the Nuna Rava. Clearly a Nuna fan here haha

Thread: "Alright, what's the catch...."

The seat doesn’t come off or rotate to parent-facing, and the front wheels I believe were plastic instead of rubber (not sure if they still are). Parent-facing is really about personal preference… I liked it but it’s not a must have. Sometimes I wished I had a stroller like this where I could have both the seat and the car seat at the same time (for the extra canopy coverage and convenience of not having to carry the stroller seat separately). I would say also look at the Nuna TRVL LX if you’re interested in the Tavo!

Thread: "Jogging stroller- worth it?"

We have a three wheel off-road stroller (Bumbleride) and a Nuna Tvlr. This for me is ideal, the Nuna lives in the car and is amazing for shops and pavement, can be unfolded with one hand etc. The off-road stroller is a dream on trails and for a jog with the dog. I'm glad that we have both, if you're a serious runner you might want to look at Thule.

Bonus, Nordstrom's annual sale is coming up (early access has started for some card members) and a bunch of strollers are on sale! Including some Nunas and the Uppababy Vista v2.

Thread: "What stroller do you have for everyday use and do you like it?"

Nuna tavo, super easy and compact without feeling like I'm missing out on space

Thread: "What stroller do you have for everyday use and do you like it?"

I have a evenflo travel system and hate it so much, I bought a Nuna Tavo and I LOVE it

Thread: "Are expensive strollers worth it?"

We have a Nuna Tavo Next that was gifted to us and absolutely love it. It's very substantial and great for walks. I know It was cheaper than ,800. Not sure which car seat you have but I'm pretty sure it works with any of the Nuna car seats.

Thread: "Nuna tavo + pipa urbn travel system or the chicco corso primo cleartex system?"

We are big nuna fans—we have the pipa + TRVL. We also have a used uppababy vista that we love! I would personally recommend the TRVL over the TAVO because it’s lighter weight (I believe 13 lbs for TRVL vs 23 lbs for TAVO) and the fold is so, so easy on the TRVL, BUT I also don’t like having my baby in the car seat all the time and that’s the only way to use a TRVL until 6ish months! I really wish the TRVL came with a bassinet or a full recline.

Thread: "Conflicting info on strollers "

I have the Nuna Mixx and the pipa car seat, ama!

Thread: "Nuna tavo + pipa urbn travel system or the chicco corso primo cleartex system?"

We have the Nuna rava as our convertible seat for my toddler and we like it a lot compared to the Graco seats we had before I went down the flame retardant rabbit hole so we will likely get the pipa when baby number two comes along.

Thread: "stroller help!"

I definitely think that it’s a smooth ride with great suspension! Our street is not the smoothest and I still feel secure with the baby in it and not like it’ll topple over at any moment. The handle bars are adjustable on the tavo next FYI!

Thread: "Nuna Tavo Next for newborn"

If it lays flat, I would be fine with it. That said, we used the car seat clicked into the stroller for the first 4 months or so - it’s perfectly safe, and it’s a 2 hour max at a time, not per day. You definitely want to make sure they don’t spend too much time in containers, including car seats, swings, and bouncers, but if they have a doctors appointment and spend 90 minutes in the car that day, maybe 15 minutes at the office still in their car seat, and then you go on a 45 minute walk a few hours later, that’s totally fine, especially if they’re getting lots of time being held and laying on flat surfaces, too - between tummy time and time spent in a bassinet or crib and feeding and doing bicycle kicks and all that, there’s tons of time for healthy development, and taking long walks in the car seat in the stroller isn’t going to hurt them (as long as it’s properly clicked in at the correct angle, baby is snugly buckled, etc). And baby wearing can be a great option in the early days, too - a wrap tends to work best for newborns and would keep baby out of the stroller altogether for walks for a little while. Also consider that you’ll be recovering in the early days, too. Depending on your delivery, it could be weeks before you’re even able to walk much - and even with an easy delivery, it’s important to be careful not to overdo it. Pushing a stroller is harder on your core than you realize until you’re well into causing more damage because you just wanted to get out of the house (ask me how I know…). So for any exercise, including walking, know the signs of doing too much: leaking urine is a huge one, also hip/back pain, and a feeling of heaviness in your pelvis all mean to take a step back and take a break. I went for walks that were too long (like under a mile) too early and ended up having to heal a minor prolapse with PT after, so learn from my mistakes and let yourself rest - which will give your baby time to get bigger, too, before you have to really get the logistics of long walks figure out.

Thread: "Do I really need a travel stroller? Or would you gate check your Nuna Mixx Next?"

Absolutely what we did. Found a faded and worn Nuna Tavo for $80, spent some time cleaning it thoroughly, and gate checked it in a $20 bag from Amazon without worry about our nice stroller getting banged up.

Thread: "Are Nuna strollers really worth it?"

We have the Nuna TAVO Next and PIPA car seat, and we love both! Dillard’s always has [past season Nuna products](https://www.dillards.com/brand/Nuna) at a discount, which is where we got our car seat. My friend has the Mockingbird and it didn’t feel great in comparison.

Thread: "Should I buy Nuna Tavo stroller?"

I have this and love it. It’s a dream to use. 10/10 would recommend.

Thread: "Strollers - what did you wish you knew before you bought?"

I originally bought the Nuna Tavo and I hated it. I ended up buying the Uppababy Cruz v2 and also hated that one lol. In the end, I bought the one I wanted all along but always thought was too expensive - the nuna mixx. I love the Mixx so if you have any questions, happy to answer them! I would get something that is: 1. Has the ability to be parent facing 2. Has a easy / not irritating fold 3. Can lie back all the way for a newborn 4. Fits in your trunk 5. Has a capsule adapter so if bub is sleeping, you can take off the seat and snap in the seat It’s worth it to buy the stroller that you want as you’ll use it a lot. I use my stroller everyday and don’t regret paying $865 with tax for my stroller.

Thread: "Should I get the doona infant car seat? Is it better than the nuna travel system?"

We have the nuna and I don’t feel like it’s heavy at all. I’m dad so maybe that’s why but it’s super super light compared to my brothers Doona. Also, my nephew who is 30th percentile has already grown out of his Doona at 1. Plus the tires on the Doona are tiny. And plastic. I routinely run over large rocks/curbs/anything I wasn’t with our nuna and my 11 month old loves it.

Thread: "Alright, what's the catch...."

I referred to this comparison chart before buying. https://usasupport.nunababy.com/hc/en-us/articles/360056628792-Nuna-Stroller-Comparison I also watched lots of reviews on YouTube, they are super helpful! Keep in mind that due to getting hot and lack of recline the newborn shouldn't stay in car seat for more than 2 hours (you either use the bassinet or you buckle the baby in the stroller seat in flat position). As someone mentioned, tavo does not support the bassinet. Also, I dont know if its a big matter, but the size of wheels might be important because strollers with smaller wheels (like Tavo model) are very challenging on any terrain other than smooth asphalt/concrete. Chosing a stroller is very hard if you dont get to see them all in person, but i hope you and your baby are happy with your final decision.

Thread: "Has anyone bought the doona? Was it good?"

I agree! My husband and I did a lot of deliberating and eventually decided to get a travel system instead. We tested out the doona and although it is convenient, having to hunch over was annoying. Also, the baby will only be in it for up to a year (depending on your baby’s size) and I can’t imagine keeping the baby in the car seat for long periods of time. It must be so uncomfortable. We decided on the Nuna travel system instead and figured it was more worth it.

Thread: "Are expensive strollers worth it?"

I love my nuna tavo. (I got the travel system with the nuna pipa lite.). It’s so easy to manage and the car seat pops right in. I’ve used it for so many neighborhood walks. Both my girls have loved it

Thread: "What stroller do you have for everyday use and do you like it?"

So- we splurged on the Nuna PipaRX Lite car seat and I wanted something compatible but decided we’d get the stroller 2nd hand and I am SO glad we did. We LOVE our gently used Nuna Tavo- and because we spent $100 instead of $700 or whatever on it, I’m even more happy about it. It’s a great stroller, but FB marketplace really came in with the win on this because honestly, I use it, but I don’t use it THAT much. I also got an incredible BOB running stroller on FB, again, the person had used it like TWO times, and I got an incredible deal on it, and my husband and I both have so much fun with baby in that- we go to the trails on the weekend and walk/run with him and he has a blast and it’s an incredible stroller for the purpose (and again, the fact I paid like $150 instead of $700 makes it that much more enjoyable). Honestly- if you want a “nicer” stroller, seriously consider getting it second hand, we got both of ours in pristine condition and I’m so happy we were able to get what we wanted but not pay an insane price for it!

Thread: "What stroller do you have for everyday use and do you like it?"

That's what we got and I in love.

Thread: "What stroller do you have for everyday use and do you like it?"

Fair enough! Always interesting to see how the same products work differently for different people.

Thread: "Are Nuna strollers really worth it?"

Oooh thanks for the tip about dillards I’ll make sure to check their website ans I liked the tavo too and the trvl but the handbar was too low for my husband 😭

Thread: "Nuna travel system review please "

Yup! I lift it into the trunk with the strap I pull on to close it and it truly is a one-handed fold at about waist level or maybe a little lower

Thread: "Minu v2 vs minu v3"

I ordered minu v2, currently it is cheap and with Amazon 15% discount from baby registry, it became cheaper, also bumper bar is added already with it, i also purchased the nuna car seat adapter and uppa baby travel bag using that 15% discount. I have not ordered the bassinet but i can if needed. Overall I am happy. :D thanks everyone!

Thread: "Recommendations for a lightweight stroller?"

We have the Nuna Tavo. I’m 5’0” and it works for me. And it lies flat like a bassinet so if you have a newborn you don’t have to use the car seat in it, but you can.

Thread: "Nuna mixx next stroller vs trvl"

This is what I’m considering. Maybe we will need two strollers down the line. I’m due in April. I know for sure we want the Nuna Pipa RX car seat, we are just stuck on the stroller to go with it. I see the uppababy vista everywhere, so it must be good. I haven’t tried it in person. How is it working with the adapter for other branded car seats?

Thread: "stroller help!"

so update: we went to dillards but hubby really doesn’t have a preference and they didn’t have the tavo next to test, just the tavo. but he said he likes that the stroller fits right in to the carrier and it’s fine that the undercarriage holds less. I also noticed that it just feels way less bulky than the chicco we got from our registry which I prefer. I’m pretty sure we are going to return our chicco corso le but my question is, is the rolling and suspension good on the tavo next? the corso le has all rubber tires and it’s smooth as heck just sooo bulky it feels like. The handle bars come up almost to my chest. but it feels like a good ride. I didn’t get to push the tavo next because they didn’t have it and the tavo was locked so we couldn’t push it around

Thread: "stroller help!"

We got a grey tavo next on Fb marketplace for $250. Love how seamless it works with the car seats. We tried using it in “bassinet” mode by placing a small Montessori pad/mat above the seat in full recline and it was great! Also this stroller has really good sun protection with lots of vents and zippers for air flow on hot days. It is a little bulkier than I expected bc the front wheels kinda flop around when folded and the seat back material folds on itself. But it does fit fine in the back of my Tesla Y without any issues. Very happy with the purchase especially bc used. But not sure I could justify brand new pricing. Hence I looked for used ones.

Thread: "Alright, what's the catch...."

The tavo model doesn’t have as many of the nice features. For someone who wants the look of a Nuna but cant justify the price. The trvl is nice but keep in mind if one of the major reasons for buying it is stowing it in the overhead compartment of a plane, it doesn’t fit all airlines.

Thread: "Nuna Tavo Next for newborn"

I have the original Tavo. When he was a tiny baby I clipped in the carseat and used that. I used the lay flat feature for longer walks. I’m not sure about the Next, but with the original you can button up the sides to almost make it like a bassinet. It didn’t bother me that he wasn’t facing me. I was able to see him through the peekaboo window or it was easy enough to pop in front of him and check.

Thread: "Nuna travel system review please "

Can you lift a folded Triv without bending down as far as Tavo? I tried my SIL’s Tavo Next and I believe I had to bend down to the ground to pick the handle (and with it being 5lbs heavier than Triv, my SI joint injury isn’t a big fan lol…)

Thread: "Nuna TRIV next vs MIXX next"

I’ve been having this same internal debate all weekend lol! I was talking to my mom about it and she felt that lighter and less bulky would be better. But a friend was telling me to not compromise on the features of a full size stroller (she had/has the TAVO). We live in a technically suburban town and use our car to go most places but most of our trips are under 15 minutes in the car. We also live in a small 900sf condo with stairs to the front door so we will likely be storing the stroller in the trunk of the car/garage (also limited on space). We occasionally go for longer walks around town in the 1-2 mile range, but nothing much longer than that. If we’re hiking we’ll likely wear baby in a backpack we got from a friend. I liked that the TRIV is a basically a lighter weight MIXX but a beefier TRVL. I’m pretty sure it folds down small enough to gate check on an airplane too so for our occasional (maybe 1x/year) flight we wouldn’t need to buy a separate travel stroller. I’m mostly concerned about its stability and feeling solid given that it’s so lightweight compared to full size strollers. I don’t know what to do!!! Leaning towards the TRIV though lol!

Thread: "Stroller/Car Seat Recs?"

I did a lot of research on this, I think we decided to go Nuna tavo / pipa urban so we didn’t have so many attachments Retails $750 at most bht around $699 at Dillard Loved the mockingbird strollers and the mompush on Amazon looks really promising! Also really like the Joie ones but didn’t love the idea of the flame retardant chemicals

Thread: "I despise my stroller & need recs"

We have the nuna swiv™ + pipa™ aire rx travel system, it's lightweight, it has a car base so i can click baby in and out, stroller is lightweight and folds up and out super easily. Downside: the price. As a mom that doesn't like to struggle... I have no regrets.

Thread: "Not sure how much to spend on a stroller"

My boyfriends mom got us a Nuna Trvl. It latches well to the Nuna Pipa car seat. I love it, however my son who is three months seems to hate the car seat now bc it is a C shape seat. It was a bit pricy, but as a combo it was $1k. It looks bulky but is very light weight and I’m only 96lbs lol. Also, storing it back into my trunk after use is so easy, just one slide and it closes on its own like a transformer. Only downfall is the stroller doesn’t lay all the way back, but since the car seat attached to the stroller it’s no biggie.
