2020 Nuna TRIV | Review of the New Nuna Travel Stroller

Nuna released a travel stroller called the TRIV.  

The biggest question we had when we learned that Nuna was releasing a travel stroller is “Is it going to fit in the overhead compartment of an airplane?”  Read on to find out!

Note: This post may contain affiliate links.  What does this mean?

The Nuna TRIV

Nuna announced the release of their travel stroller, the TRIV, on their instagram.

Here’s what Nuna has said so far:  “It’s going to change your world”,  “Whether your days are spent strolling city streets, or in faraway fields, our new fully-featured stroller will make life on-the-go a breeze.”

And our FAVORITE:

“From the plane to train, and everywhere in between, our new stroller is going to change the way you travel your world.”

The question remains if this is going to be a travel stroller that rivals the infamous BabyZen Yoyo+, Bugaboo Ant, and similar, that fit in the overhead compartments of airplanes, or if this is just more of a compact and lightweight stroller.  

Details of the Nuna TRIV

Nuna triv price.

The Nuna Triv will retail for $699.95 .  

It also includes a rain cover and a car seat adapter.

Nuna TRIV Color Options

The Nuna Triv currently comes in 2 colors: Caviar (black) and Frost (Gray).

The Nuna Triv weighs 19.4 pounds.  However, this is without the insert, belly bar, or canopy.

This is slightly more than the other travel strollers on the market (that fit in the overhead bins of planes).  For reference, the BabyZen Yoyo+ weighs 13.6 pounds while the Bugaboo Ant weighs 15.8 pounds. (For more on the BabyZen Yoyo+ and Bugaboo Ant, check out BabyZen Yoyo+ vs. Bugaboo Ant .)

Nuna TRIV Seat

Nuna TRIV Harness

The Nuna Triv has a no-rethread five-point harness.  

This means adjusting the height of the harness will be a breeze as your child grows.

Here’s a picture of the seat and harness.

Nuna TRIV Recline

The Nuna Triv has 3 recline positions.  It also has an adjustable foot rest.

Nuna TRIV Sun Shade

The Nuna Triv comes with a UPF 50+ canopy.  The canopy can be un-zipped and expanded.  There is also a flip-out eye shade.

It has mesh panels on the side to allow for better air flow, as well a peek-a-boo window.

Nuna TRIV Wheels

Here’s a close-up of the wheels of the Nuna TRIV:

The wheels of the Nuna TRIV are small and (almost) uniform.  The front wheels are 7″ and the rear wheels are 7.5 “.  These wheels are slightly larger than other travel strollers (like the Bugaboo Ant or BabyZen Yoyo+).

You won’t see suspension by the wheels, as the Nuna Triv has a unique spring suspension that is found directly under the seat.

Nuna TRIV Storage Basket

The Nuna TRIV has a generous size storage basket underneath.  

Nuna TRIV Handlebar

The Nuna TRIV features a leather, height adjustable handlbar.

Car Seat Compatibility

As previously mentioned, the Nuna Triv comes with a ring adapter.  This allows you to pair the stroller with the following car seats:  

Nuna Pipa, Pipa Lite or Pipa Lite XT

Folding the Nuna TRIV

The Nuna Triv can be compactly folded.  It can also stand on its own when folded.

The dimensions of the stroller when folded are 25.3″ L x 21″ W x 15.5″ H .

So now, the answer we’ve all been waiting for:  does the Nuna Triv fit in the overhead compartment of an airplane?  Sadly, the answer is no.   The typical  dimensions  for a carry-on bag are 22″ L X 14″ W x 9″ H.  The Nuna Triv is far too large to fit in the overhead compartment.

Nuna TRIV Review & Final Thoughts

As a lover of all things Nuna, we were thrilled to learn that Nuna is releasing a travel stroller.  

However, it’s sadly, in our opinion, not an ideal travel stroller.  An ideal travel stroller fits in the overhead compartment of an airplane (or even under the seat!).  The Nuna Triv does not fit this criteria.  

However, don’t count out the new Nuna Triv .  It’s better described as a compact stroller, so if you’re in the market for a compact stroller, the Nuna Triv is a good contender.  It could even be a great everyday stroller if you plan to stay on paved paths.  If you plan on taking walks on rougher terrain, then the Nuna stroller that may be suited is the Nuna Mixx.

Nuna TRVL Review: Self Collapsing Lightweight Stroller – Is It Good?

I had high expectations about their new stroller Nuna TRVL stroller. It had various glowing reviews, but there was a problem with them: everyone was testing it with kids around 6 months old…

I’ve been a fan of Nuna products for a long time. Their car seats, are not only one of the best performing in crash tests, are also the lightest on the US market (Nuna Pipa Lite is only 5.3 lbs!). And that’s not even the coolest thing about their products.

Did you know that almost all kids items (crib mattresses, cribs, clothes, strollers, car seats, toys) in the US are sprayed with toxic chemicals causing long-term effects due to an outdated law ? It’s shocking honestly and it’s hard to find a product that isn’t sprayed with flame retardants. All Nuna products (every stroller and car seat) are free of flame retardants, which makes them non-toxic and natural.

Pros & Minor Cons of Nuna TRVL Stroller

Folding and unfolding of nuna trvl stroller.

The fold is amazing indeed and there’s no such contender on the market. Nuna TRVL stroller self-collapses with a push of a button.

Don’t worry though, it won’t fold with your baby in it by accident, because you need to engage both fingers in the movement. It did fall on the ground after folding itself a few times, but I’d say it happened about 25% of times only.

When locked, Nuna TRVL doesn’t lock so you need to remember to grab it from the side of the bumper bar, because otherwise, the stroller can unfold. This can be frustrating because frequent fliers know that airport employees (or even bus handles, taxi drivers, anyone) might not know how to handle the stroller properly at the gate – it makes it more prone to breaking unless it’s in a travel bag.

Unfolding also works like a charm. It never got stuck (like Bugaboo Butterfly ), it doesn’t require any practice. It just works on its own.

Weight & Size: Can you take Nuna Trvl on plane?

Nuna TRVL stroller is promoted as an ultra-lightweight at just 13.6 lbs, which is the same as the lightest strollers on the market. But, it’s a pure marketing tactic, as the “*” indicates that it doesn’t include the bumper bar or even the canopy! That means the stroller is naturally slightly heavier than Babyzen Yoyo, Joolz Aer , Bugaboo Butterfly and many others.

To me it feels like cheating a customer, because when will you ever remove the canopy from the stroller and the armband which is the only option for carrying the stroller? Pretty much never, so why not just give people the actual number of how much the stroller weighs?

It’s definitely easy to carry by the bumper bar, but it doesn’t come with a carry strap. Instead, it comes with a stroller bag that you can use to carry the stroller around on your shoulder.

It’s pretty impractical, because while the bag is great, sometimes all you need is to quickly fold the stroller and throw it on your shoulder because you need to be hands-free – whether to carry the baby, luggage or both. You don’t want to have to put the stroller in the bag first.

Just like it happened to me at the airport when the escalators and elevators weren’t working. Thankfully, I had a different stroller with me at the time, but it got me thinking that while the bag is nice for gate-checking the stroller, the lack of a shoulder strap is an important con. Especially considering that you can buy a stroller bag for $15 and a shoulder strap isn’t so easy to buy separately off-brand.

The provided bag is also incredibly uncomfortable to carry. Getting the stroller in and out of the bag requires removing the back wheels unless you want to stuff it and risking a bag breaking —easy to do, but an extra step. I think they realized how crazy it sounds and came out with a travel backpack to put this stroller in instead… for $150 . Seriously Nuna?!

The rest of the stroller is underwhelming – especially considering that it’s not exactly the smallest out there. Considering the name “TRVL” the stroller was designed with the intent of traveling, but I feel like while it could make a decent everyday stroller for a baby under 12 months rather, as for actual traveling it’s not the most practical solution.

Does Nuna TRVL fit in the overhead compartment?

The short answer is NO . The average requirement for carry-on luggage is recommended to be around 22 x 14 x 9 inches. Nuna TRVL is 24* x 20.25 x 11 in and that’s not even including the armbar, which makes it way over the limit.

Maneuverability & Design

The stroller pushes nicely and the rear-wheel suspension technology provides a smooth ride indeed. It’s stable, doesn’t wobble, you can feel the quality of the frame.

You can also lock the front wheels which enable to ride through rougher terrain without swiveling.

Is Nuna Trvl good for newborn? In theory, the Nuna TRVL stroller can be used for infants and toddlers weighing up to 50 lbs in either the travel system mode or stroller mode. What’s the issue then?

If you have a Nuna car seat, then you can easily put it in the stroller as it simply inserts into the bumper bar. To do so, you need to keep the stroller reclined which with a car seat inserted makes it slightly riskier to hand anything off the parental bar.

The problem is when you have a different car seat than Nuna because you already had one from your full-size stroller travel system or got gifted. Then, you cannot use it with Nuna TRVL stroller as it doesn’t have any adapters for different car seats.

Does Nuna Trvl fully recline? It does not, it’s only a partial recline, which makes it unsuitable for a newborn to use from birth. Keep reading about an even bigger issue with the recline.

Nuna TRVL LX

Nuna came out with a new stroller Nuna TRVL LX, which is basically the same stroller, but with bigger wheels. It’s a great improvement considering as TRVL standard model doesn’t fit int he overhead compartment of the plane either way, you might as well go for bigger wheels to make it rougher terrain friendly.

Storage Spaces

The basket is large and fits a ton. You can easily throw a big diaper bag underneath along with some shopping. It’s easily accessible and the sides keep your items safe.

This makes Nuna TRVL stroller a candidate to just be a smaller everyday stroller.

Seat Compartment, Recline & Canopy

The seat compartment appeared fantastic at first. The seat was soft and comfy and so were the straps. There’s even an in-built footrest that some kids love for naps.

The included bumper bar is great, but unless your kid learns to crawl underneath it every time, you need to remove it to let the child out. The bar is easy to remove the arm bar, but putting it back on is awkward and frustrating.

The no-rethread 5-point harness supposedly makes adjustments easy and while it does, the magnetic harness as well, but I didn’t find it much easier to put together than the regular one when the toddler was screaming and wiggling around.

You can unzip and roll up the huge ventilation panel in the back to provide tons of ventilation and let your baby feel the breeze all ride long. It’s officially made for breathability so you can open the back canopy and to make it safe the manufacturers put a “mesh wall” at the top of the seat. You cannot fully see it until you recline the stroller.

I was honestly very impressed, despite the seat back being quite short, until I reclined the seat. The recline worked fantastically, you can do it with one hand… but then I noticed the biggest problem with Nuna TRVL stroller .

The seat backrest is barely 15” when reclined. That makes the seat much shorter than Babyzen Yoyo and other competitors and the problem is that due to this stupid mesh wall that’s where it ends. None of the marketing video reviews ever show this as they never show you the inside of the seat compartment.

I’ve never seen it mentioned in any other reviews is that the mesh at the seat top that basically makes the stroller useless for naps. 

My younger son is currently 33”, which is barely the 50th percentile of height for 18 months and his head hits the mesh and pushes against it, making the stroller useless when reclined. He absolutely hated it and would stay in the stroller reclined and I don’t blame him – it looked pretty darn uncomfortable and scrunched up. If we had this stroller with my older son Dylan the stroller would have been useless by 12 months, because he was always in the 90th percentile.

Nuna TRVL Accessories

The stroller only comes with the weird travel bag I talked about earlier.

Nuna TRVL stroller doesn’t even come with a  rain cover. It’s sold separately  for $50. The canopy is water-repellent, but if you live in a rainy environment you need to add the extra accessory.

Nuna TRVL vs Yoyo Babyzen

For this similar price tag, I will pick Babyzen Yoyo any day over Nuna TRVL. The first is actually made for traveling as it folds small and fits in the overhead bin, unlike the Nuna.

While Nuna is bigger in terms of folded size, it doesn’t actually give the child more space in the seat which is disappointing. The seat back is half an inch shorter than Yoyo’s.

Nuna TRVL might feel like a more luxurious stroller as to folds easier and offers a bigger basket. But, if you’re worried about those two functions then a better contender than Babyzen Yoyo would be Joolz Aer.

Final Verdict: Nuna TRVL Stroller

Honestly, if you’re buying a stroller as expensive as Nuna TRVL stroller you want to use it for years and make sure it’s practical and fits in the cabin. Despite the incredible fold, it’s not a super impressive stroller. Especially with the seat compartment issue and lack of compatibility with other car seats.

For the price of Nuna TRVL I would expect more because there are cheaper options for travel strollers that can give you more practical features than it.

Flowchart: Which Nuna Infant Car Seat is Right for You?

Pipa aire urbn this video guide can help you figure out the best car seat for your travel needs., by babylist team.

One of the trickier things about choosing a car seat is that car seat brands update their models pretty frequently. Just like smartphones, they get upgraded every couple of years based on customer feedback, which usually means more parent-friendly features than before. The only downside? Figuring out what’s new and improved from the car seat your bestie loved three years ago and recommended to you can be challenging.

If you’re considering a Nuna infant car seat and trying to make sense of their latest and greatest gear, you’re in the right place. This flowchart will help you figure out which of their three infant car seats— the PIPA urbn , the PIPA rx or the newly launched PIPA aire rx — is right for your family. Or you can watch our side-by-side comparison in the video above where we tested each one with a real Babylist parent of two who has seen a lot of car seats. Before we dive in, there are a few things you’ll get with any Nuna infant car seat:

Super-secure install: All three of Nuna’s infant car seats feature rigid latch, which you can see at the 0:57 mark in our video. Rigid latch is sturdier than traditional belt latch and easier to install than a seatbelt—making for a secure installation in just a few seconds without a lot of exertion.

Privacy and protection : Nuna’s signature Sky Drape is built into the canopy of all of their car seats. While most infant car seats provide a limited amount of shade, the Sky Drape is basically a breathable, full-coverage canopy for blocking out sun, wind or giving baby a little extra peace and quiet during your travels. You can see how it quietly attaches to your baby’s car seat at the 1:25 mark in our video.

Travel system-ready : If you want to turn your car seat into a travel system with one of Nuna’s strollers, they’re all designed to do that right out of the box—either by clicking directly onto the stroller or attaching using Nuna’s ring adapter. You won’t have to buy extra accessories. Light-but-luxe: All of Nuna’s infant car seats weigh under 8 lbs and are naturally flame resistant without added fire retardant chemicals. They’re also GREENGUARD Gold certified.

With that in mind, let’s find your car seat!

You Got: The Nuna PIPA rx

The PIPA rx is the standard model in Nuna’s infant car seat lineup—if you could ever call a Nuna car seat standard. Even their baseline models are pretty luxe (think: easy-install features, sustainable fabrics and parent-friendly extras). The PIPA rx is best known for being lightweight and easy to install, thanks to rigid latch and a multi-position recline on the included RELX base (it lets you adjust your baby’s car seat without needing to uninstall it). Watch the 2:33 and 3:15 marks in our video to see how both of those features work).

Nuna Pipa Rx Infant Car Seat with Relx Base - Granite

A few of our favorite things about this car seat:.

All about that base: The RELX base also features an anti-rebound panel and stability leg, both of which limit the amount of movement of your baby’s car seat in the event of a collision.

Taxi-friendly : While it isn’t as easy to install in taxis and rideshares as some of Nuna’s other infant car seats like the PIPA urbn, you can use this one in either (and on airplanes) without needing to bring your base along with you. You’ll just need to learn how to install the carrier using a seatbelt.

Travel-system ready: The PIPA rx comes ready to mix and match with any of Nuna’s strollers out of the box (it’ll either attach directly or utilize the included ring adapter). You can also buy a separate adapter to use this car seat with certain stroller brands like UPPAbaby or Bugaboo.

One thing to keep in mind: the PIPA rx weighs just 7.6 pounds without the infant inserts or canopy attached—that’s less than a gallon of milk—but expect a little over a pound of weight to be added when those are in play.

You Got: The Nuna PIPA aire rx

The newly launched PIPA aire rx takes everything the PIPA rx does and levels it up for comfort and easier use. Think of it like the touring model of a car—it’s ideal for people who are using their car seat a lot or who don’t mind paying extra for more luxe and user-friendly features.

Nuna PIPA aire rx Infant Car Seat - Caviar

At 6.2 lbs, the PIPA aire rx shaves more than a pound off the weight of the PIPA rx, and comes with a few noteworthy upgrades:

Make-easier magnets: Straps and harnesses are often one of the bigger frustration points of car seats (somehow they are always getting buried underneath baby’s bum). So Nuna added magnetic buckle holders to help keep the straps out of the way while inserting baby.

Double the inserts: The PIPA aire Rx comes with not one, but two sustainably made infant inserts—Merino wool and a GOTS-certified organic cotton, so you always have a backup if one is in the wash.

Comfort cushion: Nuna upgraded the cushioning inside the PIPA aire rx to include more memory foam to keep baby even comfier.

Similar to the PIPA rx, this car seat’s lightweight factor will be impacted by the addition of the infant insert and canopy—to the tune of about two pounds—but infant inserts only get used for so long, so the car seat weight will change as your baby grows. And just like the PIPA rx, you can combine the PIPA aire rx with any of Nuna’s strollers to make a travel system or grab an adapter to mix and match with your UPPAbaby or Bugaboo.

You Got: The Nuna PIPA urbn

One of the only infant car seats specifically designed to be used without a base, the PIPA urbn is a great choice for parents who typically travel by taxi or rideshare or who want to be able to easily transfer their car seat between vehicles without needing to buy a bunch of extra bases. It features rigid latch integrated right into the carrier, so you can install it securely in about five seconds.

While both the PIPA rx and PIPA aire rx can technically also be used without a base, it can sometimes take a few minutes to install an infant car seat when using just a seatbelt (and it’s one of those baby gear skills that can sometimes take a little practice to get confident doing). The PIPA urbn, on the other hand, is more akin to putting on your seatbelt—just a couple of clicks and you’re done. So if you’re taking a taxi or calling an Uber or Lyft a few times a week or looking for a bonus car seat for the grandparents’ ride, it will make those trips a lot easier. The PIPA urbn also comes with a lot of the same premium features as the PIPA aire rx, like a merino wool insert and magnetic buckle holders.

Nuna PIPA urbn

Two things worth noting about the PIPA urbn: first, it only holds up to 22 pounds of baby, so expect to upgrade to a convertible seat a little earlier than you would the PIPA rx or aire rx—likely around the time your baby turns one. Secondly, it’s only available as a travel system—aka a combo deal with one of Nuna’s strollers—but you have your choice of any of Nuna’s strollers.

That said, if you’re a city-dwelling parent whose primary modes of transportation are typically subways and strollers, the PIPA urbn is a rare infant car seat designed specifically for city life (it can still go in your regular car too, you’ll just need to install and uninstall it every time you want to take the carrier with you!).

Choosing a stroller and a carseat as a parent-to-be is a freaking mission. No joke, I think I could write an entire thesis paper on the options for infants and how to select the right one for your lifestyle. As a mom-to-be via adoption, I have spent a little way too much time researching this stuff. After all, in the waiting period of adoption (and I would imagine pregnancy as well), there’s not much else to do. So about a month ago after extensive research I finally decided to take the plunge with Nuna Baby’s PIPA urbn + TRIV next travel system ($1,100) — and quickly found out why the word on the street was that it was the best in its class.

• Car seat is extremely lightweight (7 lbs)
• No base needed, making it easy to install the infant car seat in any car
• The entire travel system has a minimalistic, modern look
• The TRIV Next folds up nice and compact for small spaces
• Safety is always top of mind

We don't like

• The TRIV Next stroller does not convert into a double for multiple children
• Price point is unmistakably high
• The PIPA Urbn car seat must be purchased with a travel system, it's not a standalone product

Featured Product

PIPA urbn + TRIV next Travel System

The nuna kid on the block.

Though the brand has technically been around since 2007, it feels like Nuna has been gaining some serious traction with parents (and parents-to-be) around me lately. Inspired by the “ingenuity of Dutch design,” Nuna believes in excellent craftsmanship, clean lines, and thoughtful solutions in each of their products, which run the entire baby and child gamut. From strollers to car seats to swings, Nuna is a one-stop shop for parents searching for high-performing, safe gear for their kids.

From a safety perspective, Nuna believes in going beyond the world’s minimum standards for safety. To ensure the safety of all of the kiddos and future kiddos that will live in the gear, the brand invests in testing the gear at independent, accredited labs. Beyond this, they use high-quality materials that abide by CPSIA standards (for the US) and EACH and EN71 standards in Europe . 

Safety, design, and quality were really important to me in my search for a stroller and car seat, but perhaps one of the things I desired the most was the stamp of approval of parents who have gone before me. Nuna’s gear is designed by parents — meaning they actually get the needs of new parents like me. Beyond this, they try to accommodate different environments and lifestyles with a variety of products, which I really appreciate.

‍ 2-Second, Base-Free Install 

In my research of car seats and strollers, I surveyed a few parents and scoured the Internet. I learned that many car seats are compatible with a bunch of different strollers from other brands, meaning you can really mix and match here. Personally, I am so Type A it hurts; for my sanity, I needed my stroller and infant car seat to match. Not only that, I just really had no interest in paying $50+ for an adapter to a car seat I was going to use for only five or six months. All of this led me to looking at Nuna’s travel systems , which are a combination of an infant car seat (for babies anywhere from 4-22 lbs), a “regular” stroller seat (for children up to 50 lbs), and the stroller itself. 

I live near downtown Detroit, meaning we take a lot of Ubers and switch around cars a lot. This made Nuna’s baseless car seat (meaning there's no base needed in the vehicle), the PIPA urbn , really appealing to me. How sweet, I thought, that our baby could easily go with us to dinner via Uber and then the next day hop in Grandma’s car without all the fuss of reinstalling or carrying around a base. Sure, I could buy every grandma and grandpa a base, but that gets pricey, and I liked the simplicity the PIPA urbn infant car seat offered. Beyond being easy to get in and out of cars easily, the car seat is just 7 pounds, which in the car seat world, is ultralight. 

Our journey to becoming parents is strange, in the sense we could get a call to come get a baby at any point now! No joke, we might only have a few hours' notice that we’re becoming parents. With that in mind, we quickly got to installing the car seat in the car once it arrived. Unpacking was super easy and everything was so nicely pre-assembled. We took the carseat out to the car and, within seconds, installed it using the steel-reinforced rigid latch installation. I thought “2-second install” had to be an exaggeration — until I did it. Sure, I didn’t have a crying baby inside to deal with, but it is actually as simple as pushing it into the metal bars in your car and leveling it.

Getting it out, at first, proved to be a little trickier. It took a second for us to find the latch to remove the seat from the metal bars, but once we did, it was also very simple and quick. Another favorite feature of mine is the magnetic clip holders on the sides of the car seat. With my niece, I have learned that I am so awful at strapping babies into car seats because the straps go everywhere; not with this car seat! It also comes with a “Sky Drape” to shield the baby from the sun and create more privacy, plus it's also built-in so there’s no chance you can lose it.

They See Me Rollin’…

The PIPA Urbn is not sold separately from the TRIV next, which at first worried me. It is a big price tag after all, coming in at $1,100. That being said, it does fall in the luxury stroller category and might make for a great “group gift” on your registry. Paired with the TRIV Next Stroller System , this means you’re purchasing a stroller that’ll support your baby while they’re in the infant car seat (4-22 lbs), as well as up to 50 lbs within a “normal” stroller configuration. 

The TRIV next fulfilled all of our criteria, from lasting for multiple children in different stages to looking modern (no '90s baby gear for me, please.) At just 18.4 lbs pounds (without insert, arm bar, or canopy) , the stroller is incredibly lightweight and folds up with just a one-handed pull, no matter which of the 4 configurations you have it in. It stands up on its own when folded (ours is tucked away well in our mudroom) and feels pretty durable to the touch. Beyond that, it is easily adjustable for height, has an easy braking system, and per my husband’s request, all-wheel suspension and large rear wheels that “promise easy maneuverability through varied terrain.” Stay tuned on that one to see what types of terrain my man takes our future babes on *nervous laughter.*

Without a baby in tow yet, we took this puppy around the neighborhood for a test drive. I know that sounds weird, but it was not only to get a good feel for it, but also to help train our puppy dogs to respect the stroller. Overall, it was quite a successful mission – all two humans and two pups approved of our new style of family walks. I think it’ll adapt nicely to our park strolls once our sweet baby is with us! 

The Premier Stroller for City ‘Rents

As an urban parent (to be), I’m stoked about our future with this stroller. While we’re excited to soak in baby snuggles, we don’t plan to slow our lives down a whole lot on account of this baby. So iIf you’re looking for a travel system that’s going to keep up with your busy life, consider your search over. The Nuna is it.

The canisters and wares are particularly beautiful. Good tip about this market. I’d definitely be curious to visit Russia someday!

The canisters and boxes are very beautiful. We don’t really collect souvenirs, but they were tempting!

September 25, 2013 at 2:33 AM

I love all of the fur hats!! Looks like a fun market…

September 26, 2013 at 3:03 PM

Looks like a fun place to wander around in! I love markets when I travel, but I’m with you, the first one with people trying to force you into buying cheap stuff doesn’t sound so great.

September 27, 2013 at 3:10 PM

We didn’t spend much time on that shopping street. It was nice it was pedestrian and away from all the craziness of the cars, but that was about it. Oh, and there is a Hard Rock Cafe on the street. We did enjoy a big ‘ol American style burger there before ditching it and heading out to this gem.

Me too! It's fun trying them on.

What a gorgeous building! It’s a shame that cheap Chinese trinkets are making their way west, but at least it’s possible to still find traditional, hand-made artifacts. They were few and far between in China! That nesting doll chess set is the cutest!

Those unglossed matryoshki are great, as are those drawings.

October 2, 2013 at 11:32 PM

There were a lot of great finds at this market! Definitely the place for authentic souvenirs.

Update 1. Entrance fee is no longer collected 2. The line 3 metro stop is Partizanskaya (renamed in 2005)

Izmailovsky Market: the quirky flee market you must see

The quirky Izmailovsky market is the most beautiful market place in Moscow and probably the world. There is so much more to do than just shopping: there are wooden churches, a large pond and different museums. You could easily spend half a day there.

Although it looks like a well preserved historical area, it was actually completed 2007. Izmailovsky market is a cultural and entertainment complex built to imitate the Russian architecture of the 18th century.

Izmailovo market (also called Izmailovsky vernisazh or Izmaylovskiy Bazar) is enclosed inside a beautiful and intricately decorated kr emlin. The word kremlin is Russian for fortress, usually to protect an area or a city. The most famous kremlin is in Red square, however the one at Izmailovsky is purely for decoration.

The bridge leading up to the Kremlin is the best place to take a photo. With the towers, unusual shapes and bright colours, it looks like it belongs in a   Russian fairytale .

Izmailovsky market is the perfect place to do some souvenir shopping because the prices are lower than most of Moscow. Especially if you want to buy a Russian doll (Matryoshka doll) some are painted with St Basils Cathedral in the centre, others include cartoon characters and even President Putin. There is also l ots of old soviet memorabilia.

Most stalls do not have a card machine so make sure you take enough cash for all of your shopping. I was so busy shopping that I forgot to take a photo of the souvenir stands!

Church of St Nicholas

The Church of St Nicholas is the tallest wooden church in Moscow. Although it looks authentic it is a replica that was built in the year 2000. It is a popular place for weddings and includes relics of the patron saints of lovebirds (Peter and Fevronia).

Even though it is a replica we loved seeing an example of early Russian wooden architecture. Especially because we did not have time to visit the churches of Kizhi island.

Quirky Museums

We were surprised to find that there are lots of museums inside Izmailovo market. Unfortunately we didn’t have time to look around any, but will definitely visit them next time we are in Russia.

The Museum of the History of Russian Vodka had a very official and old looking notice board outside. It stated the 365 reasons that you should drink vodka, incase anyone needs a few more excuses. It has over 1000 exhibits of different sorts of vodka and recipes, as well as the chance to taste different types of vodka.

Museum of Bread has 1000 exhibits of different types of bread and a buffet. But the biggest draw is a workshop where you can bake and decorate gingerbread and learn how to make Russian pancakes.

Museum of Russian Toys offers the chance to paint your own Russian doll which sounds like the perfect souvenir to take home. There is also a range of hand painted traditional dolls on display and interactive exhibits.

There is also the Museum of Moscow Animation and the Soap Making Museum. It is worth checking the opening times if you want to visit a particular museum. Most are only open on a couple of days each week and some are by appointment only.

The best time to visit

The market is open between 09:00 and 18:00 everyday, but if you want more shopping options it is best to go at the weekend as there are more vendors. The best time to visit is in the morning because it is quieter and some vendors leave after lunch.

The market has become more of a tourist destination but early in the morning there are locals hunting for antiques. However not everything being passed off as an antique is genuine. Here is a guide to: Buying souvenirs
