Comparing Doona + and Doona X product features
At Doona, we strive to make parenting as simple and efficient as possible. We take pride in developing innovative products for your little ones that make life on the go easier for families, including our revolutionary 2-in-1 car seat and stroller. To help you choose the model that best fits your family's needs, we've outlined the key features and distinctions between Doona + and Doona X.
What do the Doona models have in common?
First and foremost, both Doona + and Doona X are travel systems that seamlessly transition from car seat to stroller mode in seconds, offering the convenience and functionality that define Doona. Both models are engineered to meet high safety standards and are FAA approved for aircraft travel. From materials to design, both prioritize safety, comfort, durability, and ease of use in everyday life. Key features included in both models:
5-point harness with a chest clip, designed to secure your baby at the shoulders and hips
Supportive headrest and infant insert for newborn posture
Anti-rebound protection for improved impact performance
UPF 50 + canopy
Durable wheels built for smooth everyday mobility
Dedicated LATCH base
Meet the Doona X: the next generation of Doona
Doona X introduces a new level of comfort and versatility. It effortlessly transitions from car seat to stroller and now includes three recline positions, including a full near-flat recline for added comfort in stroller mode. The recline feature is the most notable upgrade, allowing you to better support your child’s needs throughout the day, whether they are sitting upright to explore or resting in a more relaxed position.
Doona X vs. Doona +: a closer look at what sets them apart
The key feature difference between the Doona X and Doona + is the introduction of the recline feature, which redefines the all-in-one car seat and stroller experience. While this is the most significant upgrade, several additional enhancements further distinguish the two models in comfort, functionality, and overall usability.
Integrated 5-point harness and headrest
Both models include a 5-point harness system as a safety feature, but the Doona + uses a traditional rethread harness that requires manual adjustment as your child grows. Doona X upgrades this with an integrated system where the harness and headrest adjust together in one motion, making changes faster and more intuitive while reducing the chance of incorrect setup.
Stroller storage
Storage is another key difference. Doona X expands on everyday convenience with additional stroller storage solutions such as the Pack & Go Basket, which converts into a backpack, as well as the Storage Basket, for greater flexibility when traveling or running errands. Both baskets are only compatible with Doona X.
2 position adjustable handlebar
Doona X features a two-position adjustable handlebar, allowing parents to choose the height that feels most comfortable for them. In comparison, Doona + handlebar offers only a single height position. Doona X handlebar also comes with a premium faux leather grip, providing a more refined look and comfortable feel during everyday use.
Self fastening shoulder pads
For everyday handling, Doona X offers self-fastening shoulder pads that attach to the headrest, making it easier to place your child into the seat.
The canopy
The Doona X canopy has also been upgraded with an extended design that provides enhanced coverage for your child. It also features an improved zipper system, making it easier to remove and reattach when needed. While both Doona X and Doona + offer UPF 50+ sun protection, the Doona X delivers added convenience and greater coverage for everyday outings.
Finding your perfect Doona Car Seat & Stroller
Both Doona X and Doona + offer the same innovative car seat to stroller functionality that parents love. Doona + provides the trusted original experience, while Doona X builds on that foundation with added comfort, improved adjustability, and more convenience-focused features for daily use. The right choice for parents depends on your family's needs, but either all-in-one solution delivers a safe, seamless, and travel-friendly solution from day one.
At Doona, we’re committed to making parenting simple for every family. That's why we’ve created our innovative and revolutionary Doona Car Seat & Stroller, transforming from car seat to a stroller in seconds; and Liki Trike — the most compact folding toddler trike on the market that grows alongside your toddler from 10-36 months.
