"I never thought I'd be the kind of person who cared about the aesthetics of a stroller – until I had one," says Vogue Scandinavia's Sarah Bardling, a Stockholm-based mother of two under two, of her trusty Nuna travel companion
For parents in the Nordics who bring a discerning eye to their wardrobe, home interior and all-round lifestyle, there can be no exception when it comes to baby gear. Enter Nuna, the brand that has quietly become a firm favourite amongst those in our region who appreciate thoughtful design, top craftsmanship and seamless practicality. With a philosophy rooted in sleek Dutch aesthetics and expert engineering – two aspects that feel oh-so at home in Scandinavia – Nuna's strollers offer that meeting point of form and function that stylish parents can't get enough of.
“I never thought I’d be the kind of person who cared about the aesthetics of a stroller – until I had one,” says Vogue Scandinavia's Sarah Bardling, a Stockholm-based mother of two, an infant and toddler. “It’s something you use every single day, so it makes a difference when it’s well-designed – not just in how it looks, but in how effortlessly it fits into your life.”
Vogue Scandinavia's Sarah Bardling relies on the stylish DEMI next's myriad of riding possibilities to accommodate her two children under two years old.
There's something about Nuna's premium stroller range – from which Bardling opts for the DEMI next model – that resonates loud and clear with Scandi parents looking for high-quality, good-looking essentials that are built to last. Aligning perfectly with this, the brand's strollers are engineered for easy manoeuvrability, smooth suspension, and a hassle-free fold – whether navigating city streets, park trails, or snowy sidewalks.
Bardling, who juggles an on-the-go career with bustling family life, appreciates the practicality that Nuna affords her and her partner. “There are so many small frustrations that come with parenting – your stroller doesn't need to be one of them,” she says, calling out the versatility of the DEMI next stroller with over 25 modes of riding possibilities. With two children under two years old, the DEMI next gives the needed flexibility and adapts to your family needs. Whether you want your kid facing you or the world, both children in a seat, or to click on the DEMI next rider board – the fun hop-on accessory to ease tired feet or welcome a new perspective. “Having the DEMI next which is sleek, easy to fold, and sturdy enough for any terrain has been a game-changer for me, with two boys under two, and I know I can continue to evolve the model to suit my needs as they grow," Bardling adds.
Beyond performance, Nuna’s commitment to sustainability resonates with Nordic families who prioritise conscious consumption. The brand incorporates organic cotton and environmentally responsible merino wool into its designs, ensuring that materials are as carefully considered as the engineering itself. “I try to be mindful about the products I bring into my home,” Bardling shares. “Knowing that Nuna values sustainable materials and long-lasting craftsmanship makes me feel even better about my choice.”
With clean lines, neutral colourways, and an understated aesthetic, Nuna’s designs slip effortlessly into a well-curated lifestyle. “I wanted something that didn’t feel like typical ‘baby gear’ but actually complemented my home and wardrobe,” Bardling adds. “Nuna just gets it – it’s stylish without trying too hard.”
Nuna's DEMI next model is available in neutral tones that seamlessly fit into your lifestyle: the soft green Pine shade, light brown Cedar hue, and the classic black Caviar tone as selected by Sarah.
Ultimately, a good stroller is one that adapts to the rhythm of daily life, making everything feel a little easier – while being easy on the eyes too. With the stamp of approval from Bardling and other stylish parents across Scandinavia, Nuna and the DEMI next stroller prove that parenting and personal style no longer need to be at odds.
