Nuna MIXX next vs Nuna SWIV
The more expensive stroller is the SWIV at $1,000, against $900 for the MIXX next, and it is 6.5 lb lighter at 21.8 lb against 28.3. What the extra money buys is a sideways-sliding seat that lets owners turn and park in tight aisles, a one-hand fold to 14.5 x 21 x 30.5 inches, and a basket rated at 22 lb. What it costs you is the newborn setup: Nuna's page makes no from-birth claim for the SWIV seat, owners say it does not lie flat, and the SWIV & TRIV series bassinet is a separate purchase. The MIXX seat reclines flat from birth across five positions, against three on the SWIV, and its big wheels and suspension are what owners praise. The MIXX is longer when folded at 27.5 inches, and both take a Pipa through an included ring adapter. The SWIV makes most sense once the baby sits up; before that, its extra $100 buys a seat that still needs a bassinet or car seat.
Folded, the Nuna SWIV makes a 5.37 cu ft box to the Nuna MIXX next's 7.14 cu ft. Neither fits a 22 x 14 x 9 in carry-on sizer: the Nuna MIXX next misses by 10 in and the Nuna SWIV by 8.5 in. The Nuna SWIV is 6.5 lb lighter by its maker's figure (21.8 lb to 28.3 lb). The Nuna MIXX next is newborn-ready as sold; the Nuna SWIV needs a bassinet, insert or infant car seat for the first months.

Nuna's full-size seat flips to face either way and still folds in one piece, with a fold-away rear axle that shortens the package.
Best for: Nuna car-seat owners moving up to a reversible full-size seat

SWIV's party trick is a button on the push bar that unlocks the rear wheels too, so the whole stroller slides sideways into a parking spot or along a crowded aisle.
Best for: Daily errands through crowded shops and tight parking spots
