Nuna TRIV Next review

When looking for the best pushchair, Nuna TRIV Next has to be high on the list. This compact fold pushchair is cleverly designed with a seat that faces and folds both ways, no matter what direction baby's facing. The all-season seat keeps your precious cargo snug in winter and converts to breathable mesh in summer, while the rain cover provides extra protection no matter the weather.

Described as a natural city dweller that quickly converts to a travel system, packs up easily, and stands on its own when folded  – it's the perfect sidekick to your everyday adventures.

Awards

The Nuna TRIV Next won Gold in the Mother&Baby Awards 2025 for Best Pushchair. This product also won Gold in the 2024 Mother&Baby Awards. This year, it was reviewed by 13 parent testers.

Overall, the product was loved for being easy to use, smooth to push, and light to steer. It is effortless to manoeuvre in tight spaces and "responsive to touch." The huge underneath storage basket "which somehow doesn't even get in the way" holds all your everyday essentials, alongside many shopping bags "without it touching the ground," says one tester! The shade hood was also well-praised for covering "baby from the sun in a very efficient and safe way - unzipping for further coverage."

The Nuna TRIV Next folds up small enough without taking up too much space. "The one-hand fold made it easy for multitasking, being able to fold the buggy while holding the baby." Many of our testers have small boots and managed just fine, although one mum did have to "either take one of the wheels off or put it in standing up, which left less room for other luggage."

All the parents agreed that the sturdy design, which "didn't feel flimsy, bounce or rattle when pushing," was great and "makes it perfect for taking on public transport."

One mum took her 18-month-old son out in this pushchair - "We used it for pavement walking and took it to the country park to test on a bumpier trail. The suspension on the wheels made for a smooth ride and he fell asleep easily in the pushchair, which he rarely does these days - there are too many distractions - so it must have been comfortable!"

Thanks to seat padding, snug straps, and easily adjusted recline, many of these testers reported that their children were happy in the pushchair for long periods of time. "The fabrics used felt high quality and were soft for my baby; they looked so supported and comfortable in it, in any position!" The product can change from facing away or towards you as a parent, it is also "perfect for napping with the footrest up, and great for exploring with it down." Further adjustments can be found on the handlebar so all parents can get a comfortable pushing height.

For our families, the Nuna TRIV Next has been a buggy that "can cope well in a variety of mixed terrains, alongside very changeable weathers" while not compromising on durability, style, quality, and comfort. One mum said, it "has been a fantastic addition to our daily adventures."

Read on to discover how new mum Molly put the Nuna TRIV Next through its paces.

Testing the Nuna TRIV Next

"The assembly process of the pushchair was so easy, I was able to assemble the pushchair alone at 40+2 weeks pregnant. I also tried out a few of the different seat positions, and changing to the collapsable carrycot the first time I set it up and I was really impressed with how simple that was to do. It all felt very good quality, especially the stylish colour scheme of black, really set off by the brown leatherette handle and front bar.

"Because its so lightweight and so easy to fold, this pushchair is great for the recovery process after birth. The one hand fold and unfold has to be my favourite feature as it makes life so much easier when collapsing the pushchair in car parks to put away in the boot, or for storing at home.

"I have two pushchairs and I find I use this one more as my 'grab-and-go' pram as it's much lighter. I also love that the carrycot is collapsible, it makes it great for storing in the house or car.

"Although the carrycot is an additional purchase, I think it's worth it if you have a newborn so they can lie flat. The fact that it's collapsible means it's not that bulky to store too.

"The TRIV Next has a smooth push while walking allowing for easy manoeuvring, and I liked that it can be world facing or parent facing. It's definitely a pushchair that can grow with my little one. Another really useful feature is that the wheels have a one button release, making them easy to remove for cleaning - great if it's been wet or muddy out, to save it going on your carpet or in your car boot."

Final thoughts

Molly says: "I would recommend this pushchair for someone who is living in a city and not in the countryside as the suspension isn't good enough for the country. It's also great for travel as it's so lightweight. I did find the cover of the carrycot hard to get zipped up, it was very stiff and I was concerned that the jolting would wake baby up if they were asleep inside. Hopefully this is something that will loosen up with use. This pram is also perfect for someone with a small car or if storage is an issue at home as it all collapses up so small."

Nuna Winter Stroller Set

Keep cosy over the colder months with the Nuna Winter Stroller Set, compatible with all Nuna strollers. The set includes an ultra-plush footmuff for baby and matching mittens for mum or dad. The interior of both the footmuff and mittens is lined with a blend of merino wool and TENCEL lyocell fibers, ensuring optimal warmth and comfort.

The footmuff is designed to fit securely into the stroller, providing ample space for your little one to move comfortably while ensuring they remain snug against the elements. The matching mittens will keep hands warm, featuring the same luxurious lining for consistent comfort. As well as Caviar, the winter stroller sets are now available in gorgeous new shades Biscotti and Cedar.

Nuna TRIV vs. Nuna TRIV Next

The Nuna TRIV Next retains everything parents loved about the Nuna TRIV, while getting upgraded features. TRIV Next is lighter weight yet with larger tyres, and because of the wider wheel base and larger rear tires, the TRIV Next is 2.5" wider than the TRIV. However, once folded the TRIV Next measures a little over 10% smaller than the TRIV, with a slender profile when folded that is easier to stand upright and stow out of the way.

The larger wheel size has improved manoeuvrability and handling on and off pavement. While it doesn't compare to the extra large tires and responsive suspension seen on the MIXX Next and DEMI Grow, the TRIV Next is a serious contender for parents who prefer a lighter weight stroller but need something that can comfortably handle those every day adventures. The price of the TRIV Next remains the same as for the TRIV.

Can the TRIV Next be used from birth?

The TRIV Next can be used from birth to 50 lbs. Nuna recommends that the TRIV series be used with a PIPA series infant car seat, or the TRIV carry cot until the child is about 6 months old, and then they graduate to the stroller seat.

What does the TRIV Next come with?

Along with the stroller it also comes with the folding ring adapter which is needed to connect the PIPA™ infant car seats and a rain cover. A wheeled travel bag is also available but this is sold separately.

How do I clean the TRIV Next?

Do not use any abrasive cleaning products or bleach. The frame and plastic parts can be cleaned with a damp cloth. The wheels can be cleaned with water to remove any dirt. The adapter can be cleaned with a damp cloth and mild detergent. You can machine wash the seat insert pad on a delicate cycle with cold water and mild detergent, air dry. The canopy can be spot cleaned with a damp sponge. Do not store your stroller in a damp place.
