First time heading abroad as a family? It may seem stressful but it doesn’t have to be! Many of our compact travel pushchairs can be used as cabin luggage on board a plane to help you travel with ease but make sure to check with your airline before travelling. If you don’t have a cabin-sized approved stroller you can also use your pram until you get to the steps of the aircraft, just make sure to tag it when checking in.
Many brands advertise their strollers from birth, as they have lie-flat seats. However, some seat units are not completely flat so you may feel they’re not suitable for your newborn or baby, so it’s best to check to see exactly how flat the seat unit is and if you’d like to use it from birth. It’s worth remembering that buying a compatible carrycot will offer the ideal lie-flat position for babies.
This totally depends on the model however most compact strollers require little to no assembly. Often they are pre-assembled straight out of the box or require minimal additions such as wheel installation.
SAFETY is not just another consideration for us, it is our state of mind! Our products are geared towards parents and their babies, and as such, they must comply with the highest safety standards. Each product goes through stringent internal and external safety examinations to ensure its safety. We believe that there is no such thing as too safe… but we still strive to get there.
Unlike typical car seats, Doona’s unique structure enables positioning the handle against the back of the car seat, thus providing the baby with exceptional Anti-Rebound protection. In case of collision, the Anti-Rebound handle absorbs the impact and prevents the Doona from rotating quickly towards the back of the seat, thus dramatically reducing rebound injuries.
Misuse and improper installation of car seats and strollers are the most common causes of injuries. Doona’s design and engineering teams developed multiple fail-safe mechanisms to assure safe operations and prevent misuses. Among others, these mechanisms prevent the following: Unintentional folding, hasty extension of the carry mode handle, and rotation of the extended handle in the “on-the-go” mode.
The unique double-wall structure of Doona enables the folding of the wheels into the body and offers a significant safety benefit. The two layers of durable, impact-absorbing plastic, along with additional layers of EPS, foam, and textiles provide enhanced side-impact protection.
Doona is the ideal solution for air travel. Flight safety experts encourage parents to use an approved car seat to keep their child safe throughout flights. Doona has been certified and approved by the authorities for air travel and therefore offers the perfect solution for family’s on-the-go.
** ‘We recommend contacting the airline in advance to ensure car seats are permitted on your flight and confirm the appropriate seat assignment.
