Quick Answer
The Mimi LUNO travel system is built around the LUNO stroller platform, with different setup options depending on what your family needs.
- LUNO 2-in-1: stroller frame, reversible stroller seat, lie-flat carrycot, raincover, organiser and backpack.
- LUNO 3-in-1: stroller frame, reversible stroller seat, AVARO infant car seat, ISOFIX base, car seat adapters, raincover, organiser and backpack.
- LUNO Complete 4-in-1: stroller frame, reversible stroller seat, lie-flat carrycot, AVARO infant car seat, ISOFIX base, car seat adapters, raincover, organiser and backpack.
The right setup depends on whether you want carrycot-based newborn outings, AVARO vehicle travel and car-to-stroller transitions, or both from the start.
What Is a Travel System?
A baby travel system is a coordinated setup that connects different components around one stroller platform.
A travel system may include:
- A stroller frame
- A stroller seat
- A lie-flat carrycot
- An infant car seat
- An ISOFIX base
- Car seat adapters
- Accessories such as a raincover, organiser or backpack
Not every travel system includes all of these components. Some are stroller-and-carrycot setups. Some include the stroller and infant car seat. Some include both.
That is why parents should check what is included and not included before comparing prices or choosing a setup.
How the Mimi LUNO System Works
The Mimi LUNO range is built around the same stroller platform, with different components included depending on the selected configuration.
The system may support:
- Lie-flat newborn outings with the LUNO carrycot
- Rearward-facing infant vehicle travel with AVARO
- Short AVARO-to-LUNO stroller transitions using the correct adapters
- Parent-facing stroller seat use
- World-facing stroller seat use as your child grows
Each component has its own intended use. The carrycot, infant car seat and stroller seat should not be treated as interchangeable.
Stage 1: Lie-Flat Carrycot Use
The LUNO carrycot is designed for lie-flat newborn outings outside the vehicle.
Use the carrycot for:
- Newborn stroller walks
- Lie-flat early outings outside the vehicle
- Carrycot-based movement where a flat resting position is preferred
The LUNO carrycot must not be used for car travel. It is not an infant car seat and should not be treated as a vehicle child restraint.
Learn more in the How to Use the Mimi LUNO Carrycot for Newborn Outings.
Stage 2: AVARO Infant Car Seat Use
AVARO is the infant car seat component used for rearward-facing vehicle travel.
AVARO is used for:
- Rearward-facing infant vehicle travel
- Use with the compatible ISOFIX base
- Short AVARO-to-LUNO stroller transitions when used with the correct car seat adapters
AVARO is approved under UN R129 / i-Size for rearward-facing infant vehicle travel from 40 to 87 cm and up to 13 kg.
ISOFIX may help reduce some installation errors when used correctly, but correct installation, vehicle compatibility and the product manual still matter.
Learn more about installing the AVARO ISOFIX base and attaching AVARO to the LUNO stroller frame.
Stage 3: Parent-Facing Stroller Seat Use
As your child grows, the LUNO reversible stroller seat can be used in the parent-facing position according to the product manual and your child’s stage.
Parent-facing use may help with:
- Keeping visual contact during walks
- Checking comfort and positioning more easily
- Supporting interaction during outings
Do not rush the move from carrycot to stroller seat. Check that your child has enough head and body control and that the stroller seat gives suitable support for their stage.
Stage 4: World-Facing Stroller Seat Use
The LUNO stroller seat can also be used world-facing when your child is ready for a more outward-facing view.
World-facing use may help with:
- Exploring surroundings during walks
- Longer toddler outings
- Everyday stroller use as your child becomes more alert and engaged
The stroller seat should always be used with the harness correctly adjusted and the seat set according to the product manual.
