Nuna DEMI Next vs. Nuna TRVL dubl

Nuna lovers are rejoicing over the launch of a new Nuna stroller! The Nuna TRVL dubl, which debuted in Europe last year, has finally crossed over to the US, much to the delight of American parents. Along with the excitement, many questions have arisen. Nuna's stroller lineup also includes a single-to-double convertible stroller, leaving fans pondering, "What truly is the best option for two?" In this article, we'll compare the DEMI Next and the TRVL dubl to help parents decide which is the best choice for a new baby and older sibling or twins.

Nuna DEMI Next vs. Nuna TRVL dubl

Is a convertible single-to-double or traditional side-by-side stroller better? Nuna DEMI Next and Nuna TRVL dubl:

Convertible single-to-double strollers and traditional side-by-side double strollers each offer their own unique advantages. The clear benefit of a convertible stroller is its versatility; it can be used as both a single and a double stroller. Parents don't always need to take both kids out—older children might be in school, and only the baby needs to be ready for an outing. Even parents of twins appreciate one-on-one time with each child. A convertible stroller provides families the flexibility to head out with only what they need.

In contrast, a side-by-side double stroller is always a double stroller. Therefore, when heading out with only one child, parents must deal with the extra bulk or, even worse, purchase and store an additional stroller for single-child outings. However, side-by-side double strollers have their own advantages. They tend to be simpler and more streamlined, which is exactly what parents of two often need. Convertible strollers usually have more moving parts and typically cannot be folded all in one piece.

Each family has its own unique needs and preference. Deciding between a convertible option or traditional side-by-side double may come down to choosing between versatility and ease of use.

 

 

 

Nuna DEMI Next vs. Nuna TRVL dubl

Can the Nuna DEMI Next and Nuna TRVL dubl be used from birth?

The DEMI Next can be used from birth when paired with either a Nuna PIPA Series Infant Car Seat or a DEMI Bassinet. While the infant car seat offers much-needed convenience for families on the go, a bassinet is the preferred environment for extended periods of stroller use. The DEMI Bassinet is a versatile accessory that comes with an included stand, making it a great overnight sleep or napping station for home use as well.

The TRVL dubl provides a near-flat recline on both seats, which can be adjusted into carriage mode, offering a newborn-safe space during strolls. Additionally, the TRVL dubl can be paired with one Nuna PIPA Series Infant Car Seat.

Can the Nuna DEMI Next and Nuna TRVL dubl be used as travel systems?

Nuna DEMI Next vs. Nuna TRVL dubl

 

Both the DEMI Next and the TRVL dubl can be used as a travel system. The DEMI Nextcomes with two car seat adapters, allowing it to hold two infant car seats, making it an excellent option for twins. In contrast, the TRVL dubl is compatible with Nuna PIPA Infant Car Seats without the need for adapters. An infant car seat can be connected directly to the stroller’s armbar. However, the TRVL dubl can only hold one infant car seat, which might be challenging for parents of twins.

What stroller offers better performance? Nuna Demi Next vs. Nuna TRVL dubl:

Nuna DEMI Next vs. Nuna TRVL dubl

 

Both the DEMI Next and the TRVL dubl offer advanced suspension and are capable of handling various terrain. The DEMI Next boasts larger back wheels which makes it better suited for rougher terrain. The DEMI Next will also prove to be a bit easier to maneuver in tighter spaces due to its narrower profile. 

Which Nuna double stroller offers better features? Nuna Demi Next vs. Nuna TRVL dubl:

Both the DEMI Next and the TRVL dubl are packed with luxury features that parents have come to expect from Nuna. Each stroller includes a magnetic self-guided harness that automatically locks into place, extendable UPF50+ canopies, easily adjustable independent recline on each seat, and adjustable footrests.

Stand-Out Features

DEMI Next:

  • Integrated Mosquito Net: The canopy features a mosquito net stored in a zippered compartment that can be pulled out for full coverage protection.
  • All-Season Seat: The main seat liner can be removed to reveal a mesh backing, perfect for summer months and warmer climates.

TRVL dubl:

  • Carriage Mode: Each individual seat has a carriage mode, creating a newborn-safe environment without any additional accessories.
  • Easy Fold: The stroller features a one-step, one-handed fold that automatically folds with the touch of a button, a feature carried over from its single model.

Both strollers boast large storage baskets with a 22 lbs weight capacity. However, the DEMI Next's second seat is positioned within the storage basket when configured as a double, which limits the amount of usable storage space. This might make the TRVL dubl a better choice for families who need more storage.

Both strollers also feature rotating arm bars. The DEMI Next has an arm bar for each seat, while the TRVL dubl has one arm bar spanning the width of the stroller. This could be challenging when using the TRVL dubl as a travel system since the infant car seat locks onto the arm bar. Removing an older child might require extra effort, either by removing the infant car seat first or lifting the older child around the arm bar.

 

Ready for Two Children

Both the DEMI Next and the TRVL dubl are ready to transport two children straight out of the box. The TRVL dubl comes mostly assembled with two side-by-side seats. The DEMI Next includes one seat, two infant car seat adapters, and a ride-on board. The ride-on board is perfect for older siblings who like to transition between sitting and standing. The included seat can be positioned on either the top or bottom of the stroller. Parents can use the seat on the bottom with an infant car seat on top, or vice versa. However, the stroller seat and the ride-on board share the same connection points on the bottom of the frame, so the DEMI Next can only hold two children at a time. For two seated children, the DEMI Next Sibling Seat must be purchased separately.

Which Nuna double stroller is the best? Nuna Demi Next vs. Nuna TRVL dubl:

Nuna DEMI Next vs. Nuna TRVL dubl

 

 

Either the Nuna DEMI Next or the Nuna TRVL dubl will be a welcome addition to any family. Both models feature the luxury and premium quality synonymous with Nuna. Choosing between the two may come down to a few key factors—primarily the configuration. Parents should consider whether the versatility of a single-to-double stroller outweighs the ease of use provided by a side-by-side option.

Parents of twins might find more utility in the DEMI Next, with its ability to hold two infant car seats. Its included ride-on board also makes it a great fit for families with an older child and a baby on the way. On the other hand, the TRVL dubl offers convenience and is also well-suited for a newborn and an older child, it is also a great match for families requiring a lot of storage space.

Deciding between the two might be tough, but either way, parents can trust they will be happy with Nuna. We suspect some families may even end up with both!
