Can you do a review or doona versus eve Flo dual ride please!

@allystanhope4431 Год назад

The Doona is actually banned in Canada because it doesn’t meet car seat safety standards since the angle cannot be adjusted. Since it is banned, it is also illegal to buy one in the US and bring it home (fines, voided insurance, etc.)

@dadverb Год назад

I've seen a good sized list of products unavailable or banned in Canada but hadn't realized the Doona was included, thank you.

@tierracaccitolo Год назад

There's a recliner angle foot though and you can recline it with a pool noodle or tightly rolled towel.

The doona also scores much lower in safety than other popular infant car seats.

@kmot92 Год назад

I want to like the Doona for as much as we travel and have family all over the country, but it scores SOOO LOW in safety. If we did splurge, it would be for travel only. Which doesn't make the price that worth it bc we would get a 2nd car seat and stroller.

@beat4meat 4 месяца назад

We thought about getting the Brezza, but decided not to as the mayor hazel with bottles is cleaning and sterilizing them - mixing powder and water takes two seconds. We have bottles prefilled with powder on our bedside table and water in bottle. When the baby wakes up, we just fill with water to the mark and give a little shake. Will be checking out the Doona though.

@Domlazarus Год назад

+ 1 for the Doona, Bjoern carrier and brezza although we don’t use any of them exclusively. The brezza at night is a life saver, quick enough to prevent a meltdown so she gets back to sleep much quicker vs waiting to warm a bottle of expressed/pumped milk or prep water for formula!

@adamdarcy2007 Год назад

Baby Brezza experience: our newborn stopped drinking the formula from the first bottle made with this. I researched and found many claims that this product simply wasn’t mixing formula properly and many babies were diagnosed as failing to thrive. Luckily we caught it early and went back to manually mixing although we still use the unit for warming and dispensing water. We’re transitioning back to pre made liquid formula despite the price.

@jennyjohnson5428 Год назад

I've heard this several times as well. If it's not mixing the ratio correctly then it can be potentially dangerous. It's too bad; I love the concept very much.

@EmmaNoemi 7 месяцев назад

We love our kyte baby products! Our 2 yr old has a positive sleep association with his sleep sacks and can’t wait to start using it for our newborn once she transitions out of swaddles. I came to watch this video again because I definitely need a carrier with 2 kids. My first is exactly 2 yrs older and we definitely need to be hands free

@alina52s Год назад

The Nuna Cudl 4-in-1 is hands down an awesome carrier from use at newborn up to three years old or 35lbs worth the sPlurGe. I have a good amt of splurge worthy things off of this list so had to add the Nuna Cudl 🙌🏾

I only used the Doona until my daughter was 4 months old. She grew too tall too fast. I also could not go to the grocery store without the help of my husband...opted for a Cybex. However, it was really great when she was a new born - though I think it would of been similar effort if I had gotten the Cubex infant seat ...at least there was storage from day 1

Love this video as always, Andrew! I was wondering if you’d be open to doing a review of infant formula especially after the shortages this past year. It would be incredibly helpful to understand what goes into infant formula and how it’s made.

@Kayslays2489 Год назад

1000% agree about Britax’s clicktight line! I prefer our Boulevard over our Nuna Rava, which I never thought I’d say.

@dadverb Год назад

Clicktight for the win

@user-zn3we25h2b Год назад

I hired the Doona for a month, and hated it. Overall feels flimsy and not sturdy. It rattles of any surface that’s not perfectly smooth. No basket is actually really annoying, not just a minor detail. Hood is also so small, that it provides zero shade against the sun. Much preferred having Bugaboo capsule on a Bugaboo Fox base.

@VS-im5yz Год назад

I get this. I have a Doona and I just call it a car seat with wheels, it’s really not a stroller, you need something else along with it

@rehmsmeyer Год назад

Nice try, Bugaboo employee.

@ap3008 11 месяцев назад

Upon researching, I like the Nuna Arra Next car seat and the Cybex Cloud Z. Both can be reclined and they are pretty safe with nice materials. I’m not sure which one we are going to purchase. Also, we are definitely getting the BabyBjorn.

@jennyjohnson5428 Год назад

I was going to buy the Doona to accommodate my ongoing & almost debilitating post-viral fatigue, but when I had almost decided to buy it I tried lifting it to car seat height with an 8lb 'payload' & found that this seat is no accomodation at all. The heft of it is significant well before you add the maximum-weight baby. It does seem great for healthy young travelers & urban types & people who hop from car to Uber, etc.

@jennyjohnson5428 Год назад

My poor mother-in-law, who asked me to do that test, was mightily relieved that she wasn't ever going to have to install that seat into her own, even taller, vehicle.

@jordanscott9023 Год назад

We NEVER leave the house without our Baby Björn ONE carrier since having our second - we even have two for that reason. If we didn't live in Japan right now, where hardly anyone uses strollers and just wear their kiddos I don't know if we would babywear as much as we do.

@julieboo Год назад

i loved the baby brezza when it worked. it stopped dispensing the correct amount of water so that started making me think that it was not properly dispensing the correct amount of formula. For piece of mind, I returned the breeza and kept doing myself. I opted for the baby breeza water dispenser instead.

@dadverb Год назад

Eff I'm sorry to hear that was your experience. Glad you found what worked for you though.

@jenweatherwax7113 Год назад

Love your channel! But I would call out a warning on the Brezza machine. All my friends stopped using theirs and pediatricians are starting to recommend against them because they frequently fail to mix formula correctly. The formula gums up and it either puts in too much or too little formula. For the expensive price it’s worth knowing it can be a big bust!

@kylamarquez2769 Год назад

Have you checked out woolino before? I actually like their 4 season ultimate sleep sack more than Kyte baby and you don’t have to buy different ones for different seasons.

@elizabethc8254 Год назад

I was initially going to buy the babybrezza bc we had heard sooo many good things...but just think it's important to point out that there have been cases of it malfunctioning and dispensing incorrect amounts of formula powder and causing dangerous electrolyte imbalances in newborns, whose kidneys cannot handle formula thta is too dilute

I love how much you are promoting babywearing. Interesting that you are doing the ‘splurge’ list and you’ve not chosen the Babybjorn Harmony 😂. You don’t have to splurge to get a good carrier, seek out a consultant or sling library, for those to-be-parents ❤

@ren4951 Год назад

The Doona is amazing but, it's just not for everyone. My wife, my mom, mother in-law, it works amazing me. But for me, I sincerely wish it was taller. It's pretty inconvenient for anyone on the taller end. :( I really wanted to love it.

@catsandmountains Год назад

When it comes to car seats it's worth considering weather. Winter baby? Absolutely get a infant carrier over a convertible. This way it's easier to carry the baby in the cold.

@ondonando Год назад

As someone who's not in the USA, when talking about Baby Brezza, please make sure to mention it might not be a viable option in other countries. In the UK, formula is not sterile but is sterilised by using boiling water during preparation. Baby Brezza doesn't use boiling water so it doesn't sterilise the formula which is quite dangerous. (And it's being sold here as well!) There are alternative formula machines that use a hot shot and then add cold water after the powder is sterilised, like the tommee tippee one.

@dadverb Год назад

Very true. I often lose sight of the viewers who watch outside of the US when talking gear. Thanks for keeping that part in check. If you have any other suggestions, please go ahead and drop them here.

@lordpablo1985 Год назад

In a similar vein, sleep sacks are not recommended here in the UK. We used one last night when we got our new born home but the midwife who visited today said they are no longer recommended and to use a cellular blanket instead. Luckily we had been gifted a few hand knitted ones.

Considering a Doona, but aren't infants not supposed to be in carseats for so long for their spine growth?

@robfrancis2195 10 месяцев назад

The Doona isn’t supposed to be used as a true stroller. It’s really just for quick trips as babies should be flat and not hunched up, per European standards. Being hunched up for too long can also cause SIDS.

@amygipsmanstein4787 Год назад

When did you start using the sleep sack vs a swaddle?

@emrac377 Год назад

Switch to a sleep sack as soon as your baby starts showing signs of being able to roll over on their own. For safety, once they can roll, they should have their arms out :)

@dadverb Год назад

Once the baby shows signs of rolling, swaddling should be stopped. Typically happens around the 8-week mark.

@lisagiannoumis3816 Год назад

The Doona we just bought for baby two and the One 4 Life we have for our toddler and we love it. I think splurges on everyday items like that are so worth it...certainly we weren't splurging on clothes or other stuff. We had to do ready to feed formula for our eldest so a Brezza wasn't applicable even though he was formula fed, so it's better to wait till baby is there to see if you end up EBF or even on a RTF formula.

Mini is great but I think it was made particularly for newborns. I like that the One has more life to it, but while the One can support newborns, it's not the best and carries more value a little more after the first eight weeks. That's just my take.
