Enough stop bashing doona. You don't like it buy what you like. There is nothing unsafe about a doona if it's used the way it's meant to. It has the same rigorous testing other carseats in the US have. Enough already. Everyone can use what they want for their child but stop using it as the evil you claim it to be!

It’s an ad. Ignore if you don’t like it. The people advertising apparently did not go to marketing school, because bullying people for their choices rarely works to get them to buy your course.

People use it differently than they would a car seat and the repercussions are many. If you use it as you would a car seat, meaning only in the car then ignore the bashing.
I also think it's not the same as car seats. It sits upright and not as comfortable for baby.

Exactly. You just said it yourself. The bashing is for improper use.

Why do you care? If it doesn't apply to you, just move on. For example, I hear people issue warning about charging e-bikes overnight consistently. If I don't charge them overnight, I just ignore and move in. If I did do that, I take a moment to evaluate my actions.
Why does that impact you so much?

You posted in strollers which is the problem. It is not a safe stroller. It’s a safe car seat, it can be used in the car, and it can be used on 5-10 minute errands. More than that is very unsafe for the baby. I see people use it in their house, I see it in the park on shabbos, I see it at babysitters being used for naps… all of that is not acceptable.

Exactly. And unfortunately there are certain communities that seem to use it improperly more often than properly. And BTW I see improper use with snap n go car seats sometimes too, with babies in them all day, it’s not just doonas, but there seems to be something about doonas that makes people use them as a stroller, I even know multiple people who don’t buy a stroller till their baby is 6+ months old and only use the Doona. Partially because the doona is so expensive.

People also use carseats too much just to park the baby. Don’t pretend people didn’t do it before doona came around

It's not bashing, it's bringing awareness to the issues that may cause if you use it too much.
It's good for people who use the doona to be informed so they can use it in an appropriate manner, meaning not letting their baby sit in it for most of the day.
It's not good for a baby to sit in a regular car seat as well for the entire day but the doona is a different shape than the regular car seats and worse
The point is to inform and use its responsibly.

There is flat out bashing going on and if you read some of those comments its specific to the doona as if all other carseats dont have same issues. As I stared before Doona is not unsafe if used properly. Enough preaching no one asked

People used the snap n go the same way as they use the doona...as a stroller. I didn't buy a stroller for my dc till they were 9 months, we solely used the snap n go, as did many of my friends. And I don't remember any snap n go bashing. Probably because it had a lower price tag.

We should keep up the doona bashing.
It’s not ok the way people use them and there needs to be more awareness.
Moms need this information badly to make good decisions.

I think before the Doona there was a lot less awareness. When I told my mom to make sure the baby doesn’t sleep in the car seat and not to prop up a bottle (in the car seat with a blanket) she was confused and thought I was extreme. She asked my sister who is much older than me and she also never heard how bad car seats can be when used improperly for multiple hours a day. Now that doonas became so popular people are spreading awareness.

People didn’t know. And then all those babies ended up with head, neck and spine issues and doctors and therapists started spreading awareness.

Why do you care so much? You should be comfortable doing whatever you want without getting offended at a post spread awareness about the harms of the doona. If you use it the right way, great! Who cares what anyone else thinks?
Only the founder should have such an extreme reaction. Are you the founder?

In certain communities, you never saw a snap n go or car seat attached to a stroller. And suddenly doona is the latest trend, and every baby is in a doona which is used as the regular stroller & babies are in it for hours long at a time.
So it's go nothing to do with the price tag & all to do about the doona specifically. Many people of said communities never even owned an infant car seat before doona was around.

And you didn't see people lugging shoe-wearing toddlers around in their snap 'n gos! I always feel sorry for the oversized babies sitting in Doonas long after they've clearly outgrown them.
