What reviewers say about the Doona Car Seat & Stroller
Two hands-on testers cover the Doona: Wirecutter (NYT, updated Nov 2025) and USA Today's Reviewed (Oct 2022). No RTINGS-style lab benchmarks exist; Wirecutter cites BabyGearLab's crash testing rather than running its own. Both praise the Doona as a uniquely convenient car-seat-to-stroller combo for taxis, cities and flights that maneuvers easily on paved surfaces. Both flag it as heavy, expensive, weak on crash/stroller-mode safety, hard to install, and wide enough to crowd the backseat. Consumer Reports and BabyGearLab were excluded as non-whitelisted.

Where reviewers disagree Overall verdict diverges: Reviewed judges the Doona 'worth it' for travel-focused buyers ('because it solves two needs at once, we think it's worth it'), whereas Wirecutter notes one of its car-seat experts does not recommend the seat and frames it as a narrow pick for families constantly in and out of taxis. The two also cite different weights — Reviewed lists 16.5 lb as a spec and 'about 17 pounds' in prose, while Wirecutter reports 14.3 lb for car-seat mode.

weight, car-seat mode: 14.3 lb
As a stroller, the Doona maneuvers easily, and the brake is intuitive and easy to use.
At 14.3 pounds, it’s heavy and bulky to carry and maneuver when in car seat mode.
The Doona also has one of the steepest prices of any of the car seats (including infant, convertible, and boosters) that we’ve reviewed.
If you’re looking for a car seat that adapts to a stroller, the Doona is your pick.
The Doona car seat is on the heavier side (about 17 pounds) and it is not ergonomic for carrying
A stroller and a car seat all in one, but not quite as good as either alone.
