In the question“What are the best full-size strollers around or under $500?” Nuna Tavo is ranked 1st while Baby Jogger City Mini is ranked 4th. The most important reason people chose Nuna Tavo is:
When the backrest is reclined to its lowest position, the leg rest can be adjusted inwards to a 90-degree angle which creates a bassinet for your baby. You can use the two pieces of fabric hidden under the leg rest to enclose the sides of the stroller by clipping each piece to the side of the frame. If you fully recline the seat, you baby will have a cozy and safe place to rest.

Pros
Pro Eliminates the need for a bassinet, since it doubles as one
When the backrest is reclined to its lowest position, the leg rest can be adjusted inwards to a 90-degree angle which creates a bassinet for your baby. You can use the two pieces of fabric hidden under the leg rest to enclose the sides of the stroller by clipping each piece to the side of the frame. If you fully recline the seat, you baby will have a cozy and safe place to rest.
Pro You can open some parts of the canopy to improve air circulation
On the canopy there are mesh windows that you can open to let air in. One is on top of the canopy, mainly used by parents to check in on their child and other two are by the back part of the seat. You can open them all, which allows more air flow and will keep your child cool and comfortable.
Pro Can accommodate babies up to early childhood
You can use the Nuna Tavo with an infant cushion to support your small infant, keeping them snug and comfortable. Since its seat is wide and roomy (measuring 25 inches from the tip of the canopy), it can easily accommodate even bigger children.
Pro Has a concave canopy which covers your child from the sun
The Tavo has a large concave canopy, with a pop-out sun visor and an extension drape to cover your child and protect him/her from harmful sun rays.
Pro Has flip-flop friendly brakes for both wheels
Most parents find single brakes less of a hassle compared to stepping on 2 brakes for each wheel. The brake-lever is strategically placed in the middle of both wheels for easy access when braking.
Pro The basket frame can be opened wide to prevent snagging when taking out things
The frame of the basket has springs that you can push downwards whenever you need to get something from the basket. This is very convenient especially when the seat is fully reclined since you do not have to push the seat up in order to reach for things inside the basket.
Pro The seat reclines into 4 different positions
This seat can be reclined into 4 angles including an almost flat recline suitable for newborns. Most strollers can only accommodate children from 6 months onwards because they are unable to recline to an angle that can support smaller babies.
Pro Has an option to attach a board for an older child to stand on
This is great if you have a baby and an older child that can stand so both of them can be on it at the same time. This attachment is sold separately.
Pro One hand easy fold
Has an accessible lever that folds the stroller very easily using one hand which makes it easier when alone and needing to hold the baby and fold the stroller at the same time.
Pro Lightweight
The stroller weighs only 12.4 pounds which makes it one of the lightest strollers in its category.
Cons
Con Seat can only face one direction
The seat is not reversible and can only face forward.
