In this post, we’ll walk you through the English step-by-step installation process for both car seat and stroller modes, whether you're using the LATCH base or vehicle seat belt. Let’s get you rolling with confidence!

???? What You’ll Need Before Installation

  • Doona Car Seat Stroller

  • Doona LATCH Base (optional)

  • Vehicle with standard seat belt or ISOFIX/LATCH system

  • User manual (included in the box or available at Doona Official Website)

???? Option 1: Installing the Doona with LATCH Base

This method is ideal if you plan to use the Doona frequently in the same vehicle.

✅ Step-by-Step Instructions:

  1. Place the Base on Your Car Seat:
    Position the base flat on the car seat. Ensure the support leg touches the vehicle floor.

  2. Attach LATCH Connectors:
    Locate the LATCH anchors in your vehicle. Connect both sides of the Doona base’s hooks to the anchors.

  3. Tighten the Base:
    Pull the strap to tighten. The base should not move more than an inch side-to-side.

  4. Check the Level Indicator:
    The built-in bubble level should be within the safe zone. Adjust if necessary.

  5. Click the Doona Car Seat into the Base:
    Align the seat onto the base and push until it clicks.

  6. Double-Check Stability:
    Give it a firm tug. It should be secure and properly locked in place.

???? Option 2: Installing with a Vehicle Seat Belt (No Base)

This is great for taxis, travel, or rideshare use.

✅ Step-by-Step Instructions:

  1. Place the Doona Rear-Facing on the Vehicle Seat:
    Make sure it's flat and stable.

  2. Thread the Lap Belt:
    Route the lap portion of the vehicle seat belt through both blue guides on the Doona base.

  3. Buckle the Belt Securely:
    Ensure there's no twist in the belt.

  4. Tighten the Belt:
    Pull tight to reduce movement. You can push down slightly on the Doona to secure a snug fit.

  5. Check for Movement:
    It should move less than 1 inch side-to-side or front-to-back.

???? Using the Doona in Stroller Mode

✅ How to Transform from Car Seat to Stroller:

  1. Press the Handlebar Button:
    Pull the handlebar into stroller position.

  2. Push the Red Safety Lock Release Button (at the back):
    This unlocks the wheels.

  3. Push Down the Stroller:
    The wheels will automatically unfold.

  4. Adjust the Handlebar Height to your comfort.

To return to car seat mode, reverse the process by pushing in the wheels and folding the handle.

⚠️ Safety Tips

  • Always use the 5-point harness correctly.

  • Never use the stroller mode on stairs or escalators.

  • Avoid installing on the front seat of cars with active airbags.

  • Do not modify or use aftermarket parts with the Doona.

  • Check all connections before every ride.
