Doona

Because every new mama deserves the safest, simplest travel system for her baby.

Infant carseats are a must for new moms and their babies, but say goodbye to the heavy, bulky traditional travel systems and say hello to the Doona. This innovative infant seat is an all-in-one carseat and stroller letting new moms stay mobile with their little one from the very beginning. The Doona is the first ever carseat with a fully integrated mobility solution. No longer do new parents have to worry about carrying a hefty infant seat on their arm, taking up precious space in the car for both a carseat and stroller, or waking a sleeping infant, transferring him between carseat, stroller, or carrier. The Doona does it all!

The Doona provides an ergonomic seating solution for optimal use both in and outside of the car. Realizing that babies spend a significant amount of time in carseats these days because of their parents’ busy lives, this infant seat was developed with both baby’s physical and social growth in mind. To fully support baby’s posture from birth, the Doona comes with a unique newborn insert inspired by the position of an infant in its mother’s arms. The newborn insert is recommended for use with baby until he or she reaches the 11 lb. limit. Both with and without the insert, the Doona is designed to promote social development by allowing baby to maintain eye contact and interact freely with the world around him.

The Doona’s double wall structure provides enhanced side-impact protection, and its adjustable handlebar when placed against the back of the carseat with installation provides advanced anti-rebound protection. Featuring an interior crafted of thick, protective padding for baby’s optimal safety and comfort, the Doona is made of baby safe materials, free of both PVC and BPA. The Doona also features an extra large sunshade perfect for protecting baby’s sensitive skin both in the car and on a stroll.

With the ability to use the carseat with both the latch system base and a vehicle seatbelt, this carseat allows for an easy transition between mom and dad’s cars with no need for more than one carseat. The Doona also comes with a vehicle seat protector to keep those carseats free of dirt, debris, or scratches from the carseat itself.

Meeting all of the highest safety standards in both the United States and Europe, the Doona is certified as an infant carseat/carrier and stroller. It is also approved for use in both cars and aircraft making it the perfect solution for use in airports and on planes for the frequent traveler. In one simple motion, the Doona converts from a carseat to a stroller and back again, making it the most simple travel system available to new parents.

Knowing parents these days are always on the go, the Doona also has a variety of custom, attachable accessories making life just that much simpler. We love the essentials bag for every day use. This compact and lightweight bag easily carries baby’s necessities and provides 4 exterior compartments perfect for water bottles, phones, keys, wallets or sunglasses. Specifically designed to attach to the Doona’s quick-release connectors located on the handlebar, everything is within reach so no longer do new moms have to juggle a diaper bag or struggle with shoving everything underneath the stroller. With everything from travel bags to insect nets designed to maintain the stability of the Doona and enhance its use, no matter your adventure, parents and baby can easily and enjoyably travel together.

When the founder of Simple Parenting welcomed his first little girl into the world, he and his wife experienced the struggle of all new parents trying to juggle a heavy infant carseat and stroller combo. Wanting all parents to be able to take their babies with them around town or around the world, the simple and practical parenting solution of an all-in-one mobility system was created, the Doona. Simple Parenting is committed to developing high-quality, innovative, and practical products meant to inspire parents and help them through those first tough stages of parenthood.
