If you've been researching baby gear, chances are you've heard about the Doona—the innovative infant car seat that transforms from a car seat into a stroller in seconds. It's a favorite among city families, frequent travelers, grandparents, and parents who want a simple, convenient solution for life on the go.

But with the introduction of the Doona X, many parents are asking: What's the difference between the Doona+ and Doona X? Which one is right for my family?

At Galt Toys + Galt Baby, we love helping families compare baby gear in person so you can find the option that fits your lifestyle. Here's a quick breakdown of the differences.

The Doona+ Infant Car Seat: The Original Game Changer

The Doona+ became a parent favorite because it solved a common parenting challenge: getting your baby from the car to your destination without waking them up.

With its built-in wheels, the Doona+ easily transitions from an infant car seat to a stroller—no carrying a separate stroller frame, no transferring your baby, and no juggling extra gear.

Doona+ Highlights:

✓ Infant car seat and stroller in one
✓ One-motion transition from car seat to stroller
✓ Compact design great for city living, travel, and quick errands
✓ FAA-approved for travel when used according to guidelines
✓ Easy-to-clean materials and thoughtful design
✓ Ideal for parents who value simplicity and convenience

The Doona+ is a great choice for families who want an all-in-one solution for everyday outings, airport travel, restaurants, and errands.

The Doona X: Added Comfort for Growing Babies

The Doona X keeps everything parents love about the original Doona while adding upgraded comfort features designed to give babies a more adaptable ride.

The biggest difference? The Doona X offers three modes:

• Car Seat Mode — for safe travel in the vehicle

• Pull Mode — allows the wheels to roll while keeping the seat reclined

• Relax Mode — provides a more comfortable reclined position when outside the car

Doona X Highlights:

✓ Three-position recline options
✓ More flexibility for baby's comfort outside the vehicle
✓ Updated design features
✓ Same convenient car seat-to-stroller transformation
✓ Great for parents who want added comfort and versatility

The Doona X is especially appealing for families who spend more time walking, traveling, or using the Doona outside of the car.
