Doona Infant Car Seat & Latch Base ($550)
The Doona is a must for urban parents without their own cars. Why? It transitions — in seconds — from small stroller to rear-facing car seat, allowing city parents to pop their kids into a taxi, then seamlessly stroll them around town, without having to lug two pieces of equipment.
Editor Quote: "Aside from its major selling point, which hasn't yet been seen elsewhere on the market, the first thing I noticed was the space-saving benefits. I no longer had to reserve half of my car's trunk space for a stroller, and my cramped city apartment felt less so with just this one piece of baby gear in the entryway. I also noticed that when in stroller mode, it was ridiculously easy to maneuver. The Doona could be steered one-handed — something I didn't consider a big deal until I tried to take my first sip of coffee while pushing my original stroller. Because of its low-profile design, it can turn tight corners and fit into smaller spaces. As a city dweller, this made tooling around with it on foot, without any need for a car, completely worthwhile." — Kate Schweitzer, former senior family editor
