Nuna MIXX next vs Nuna TRIV next

Same maker, same Pipa ring adapter in the box, and $300 apart: the MIXX next is $900 and the TRIV next $600. The bigger difference is 28.3 lb against 18.4, and Nuna's TRIV figure leaves out about 2.6 lb of insert, arm bar and canopy. The MIXX has a reversible seat with five recline positions that lies flat from birth, with a bassinet sold separately. The TRIV has three recline positions, and owners report the US seat does not lie flat, so Nuna recommends a Pipa seat until about 6 months. The TRIV folds with one hand to 24 x 22.5 x 15 inches and stands; the MIXX folds to 27.5 x 23.6 x 19 and stands. Owners say the MIXX wheels keep babies asleep over gravel and snow, but that it fills a midsize sedan trunk. Nearly 10 lb is a lot to lift up stairs every day, and the MIXX has to earn it with its flat seat in the first year.

Folded, the Nuna TRIV next makes a 4.69 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 TRIV next by 8.5 in. The Nuna TRIV next is 9.9 lb lighter by its maker's figure (18.4 lb to 28.3 lb). The Nuna MIXX next is newborn-ready as sold; the Nuna TRIV next needs a bassinet, insert or infant car seat for the first months.
