Doona X USA - Everything you need to know + Pre-Order Info!

The Doona X — making its way to the USA

Pre-Orders Coming Soon!  

The Doona changed the baby gear industry back in 2015 and its done it again!    The long awaited Doona X is coming to USA!   

While we love love love the Doona+!   We did have some requests for improvement and the Doona x has perfected a nearly perfect product!   It now offers a reclining seat, better ventilation, smoother handling, and improved safety features. The Doona X delivers on all of those while keeping the same one-of-a-kind car seat-to-stroller design that made the original so popular.

What's New on the Doona X?

A Near-Flat Recline

This is easily the biggest improvement.

Unlike the original Doona, the Doona X offers a near-flat recline when used in stroller mode. That means your baby can rest in a much more natural position during walks, making longer outings significantly more comfortable.

For parents who use their Doona every day, this is one of the most meaningful upgrades.


Three Comfortable Stroller Positions

Instead of a single fixed position, the Doona X offers:

  • Sit
  • Relax
  • Lean Back

These multiple positions make the stroller much more versatile as your baby grows and spends more time awake—or asleep—on the go.


Better Fit for Taller Parents

One common complaint about the original Doona was the handle height.

The Doona X raises the handle by up to two inches, making it much more comfortable for taller parents and caregivers without changing the stroller's compact footprint.


Easier Harness Adjustments

Growing babies need frequent harness adjustments.

The Doona X introduces a no-rethread, five-position harness, allowing parents to adjust the harness height in seconds—no uninstalling or rethreading required.

It also includes convenient strap holders that keep the harness out of the way while placing your baby into the seat.


Improved Canopy and Ventilation

The canopy has been completely redesigned with:

  • Extended sun coverage
  • Zip-off extension
  • Built-in mesh ventilation window

These updates help improve airflow while giving parents a better view of their baby during walks.


A More Advanced Safety Base

The Doona X includes an all-new base featuring:

  • Rigid LATCH connectors
  • Load leg for additional crash protection
  • Built-in level indicator
  • Tension lock-off
  • Two-step carrier release

It also meets the newest FMVSS 213a side-impact safety standard, offering parents additional peace of mind.


Smoother Ride

Doona redesigned the wheels with everyday use in mind.

New features include:

  • Improved suspension
  • Shock absorbers
  • Softer wheel deployment
  • Easier wheel removal for cleaning
  • Single-step brake

The result is a noticeably smoother ride over sidewalks, pavement, and uneven city streets.


Smarter Accessories

New optional accessories include:

  • Backpack-style storage basket
  • Summer canopy with additional ventilation

These additions make the Doona X more practical for daily use without sacrificing its compact design.


When Will the Doona X Be Available?

Our first limited arrival is expected in July, with full availability anticipated around September 2026.  It will be available at Piccolinobaby.com shortly.


Is the Doona X Worth It?

While we love the Doona, we really thing the upgrades of the Doona X are worth it.  We're so excited to be able to offer you this upgraded model with 15% rewards back to help offset the price increase.
