Testing the Nuna MIXX next and arra next travel system bundle

My first impressions of the product are that it is very easy to manoeuvre the MIXX next and provides a sturdy build yet manageable weight to carry about as a load. The opening and closing mechanism was very easy to figure out and to operate. It fits just fine into our two door car also so we are not having to struggle too much for space when packing up for a trip. Selling points include the handlebar for the baby that you can clip toys onto and also the safety buckle which is very easy to clip in and also the cushioning around the belts which my baby continuously grabs onto for comfort!

ARRA The design is easy to insert and remove babies from and it gives me confidence in that the build is very solid. The rotating base is very helpful as we have a 2 door car which we can easily move the baby in and out of. The installation is very easy too, with the 3 green light system making it simple and quick to install properly and correctly.

My baby was completely fine in the testing experience and actually fell asleep on our first walk in it. I used the product around our local area and on pavements, crossing roads and back home, during the day around late afternoon. My child is now 6 months old and I am pleased with how they took to a new pram. I wanted a comfortable ride for my baby and that is what I received.

ARRA The swivel base and adjustable handle bar make this product easy for me as a mum. My baby sat well and didn't slide down too much either although some more support in the base area would be a good improvement. The hood extension is very helpful and allows my baby to sleep when we need them to. I used the product in the late afternoon to see how / if my baby would sleep - this was successful! I think it was the snug surroundings that allowed for this.

I would recommend this product overall as I have enjoyed using it. I feel it is competitively priced also given the market for baby-transport too. Comfort is a key factor to keeping babies comfortable and the cushioning is very soft and conducive for a smooth ride. Overall impression is that I would recommend to anybody looking for such a push-chair. I was happy with the way it opens and folds and also appreciate the suspension and ride-comfort. ARRA Where the buttons to adjust the handle bar are situated - these are at the back of the hinge and if they could be placed at the side that would be very helpful for me personally.
