New Standout Features We Love on the Nuna Mixx Next Stroller
1. Luxury craftsmanship

2. A smoother journey
You’ll experience an upgraded level of smoothness with the Nuna Stroller Mixx Next. This stroller has been enhanced with improved suspension and newly designed rubber wheels at the front, enhancing its maneuverability. Gone are the days of plastic front wheels! Now, all four sport rubber tires, resulting in a stroller that effortlessly glides across various terrains and can be effortlessly maneuvered with just one hand.
3. Folding made easier
Nuna has also designed a more convenient folding mechanism, with the back axle now folding into the frame. This innovation not only saves space but also allows for an easier fit into narrower car trunks. In fact, it's approximately 6 inches more compact than its predecessor, the Nuna Mixx, making it a practical choice for on-the-go parents seeking convenience without compromising on performance.
4. Stands on its own
One of our favorite upgrades is the space-saving self-standing feature, which can be collapsed effortlessly with just one hand. This marks a significant improvement, addressing one of the most common concerns with the previous model. It's a testament to a brand that values and heeds customer feedback, making the Nuna Mixx Next Stroller a prime choice for parents looking for user-friendly innovations.
5. Sunshade supremacy
The sunshade is undeniably one of the best updated features! Crafted from top-quality fabric, it not only feels luxurious but also boasts impressive durability, capable of withstanding blustery weather conditions. Offering UPF 50+ protection, it provides genuine peace of mind. The canopy's ample size is made up of two generously sized panels, accompanied by a retractable sun visor for those sun-drenched moments. Beneath its shelter, you'll find one panel designed with breathable mesh, and for those seeking even more shade, a third zip-in panel awaits with mesh windows on both sides. Adding to its functionality, a mesh peek-a-boo window crowns the canopy, ensuring excellent airflow, even during scorching summer days.
6. Style meets ingenuity
Beyond its stylish appearance, we're enamored with the ingenious Magne-Tech Secure Snap feature—an auto-guiding magnetic buckle that effortlessly aligns and locks into place, simplifying those precious moments with your baby.
7. Dining convenience on the go
Another fantastic new feature of this stroller is its table-level seating, allowing it to double as a high chair during mealtime outings. Believe us, the convenience of not having to unfasten your toddler can significantly elevate your dining experience, making family outings even more enjoyable.
8. Versatility
While this stroller represents an investment, its versatility with four distinct modes and suitability from birth to 50 lbs guarantees you'll derive substantial value from it. You have the flexibility to pair it seamlessly with any Pipa car seat or configure it in the Nuna Mixx Next Stroller Bassinet mode, ideal for newborns. As your child grows, you can also choose between a parent-facing seat or a forward-facing seat, ensuring the stroller adapts to your child's changing needs.
9. Seamless compatibility
Although this feature remains unchanged, the compatibility of both the Nuna Mixx and the Nuna Mixx Next with all Pipa car seats is undoubtedly one of the most significant advantages of this compact stroller. You can conveniently purchase two different Nuna Mixx Next Travel systems at ANB Baby! There’s the Nuna MIXX Next Stroller with Magnetic Buckle + Pipa RX, which includes a ring adapter that streamlines the process of attaching and detaching the car seat from the base with a single click. There’s also the Nuna Mixx Next + Pipa Urbn Travel System, ideal for city living and UBERs as it can be installed with a vehicle seat belt—no base needed.

Is the Nuna MIXX Next Worth It? ANB Baby's Verdict
The Nuna Mixx Next is the ultimate all-purpose stroller, graced with premium craftsmanship and an exceptionally smooth ride. It stands tall against well-established and high-end brands, boasting superior features, versatility, and user-friendliness.

As your child grows, you might notice that the toddler seat becomes more snug, but this snugness is by design, maintaining a compact and secure feel without overwhelming you. The luxury features do come with a higher price tag, but if you prioritize these attributes and a compact design, the Nuna Mixx Next reigns supreme as the top choice in the realm of compact strollers.
