Joolz - Aer+

We had basically the same requirements and ended up getting a Joolz aer+ (on discount bc they are phasing out that model), plus the Clek Liing car seat. If you want parent facing, the new Joolz aer2 would be a good fit!

Sorry just to add! Our plan is to keep this as our “car stroller” and down the line, get a separate jogging/full sized stroller used off fb marketplace, to be used around our neighborhood, if we need a second. Also- I had trouble finding a travel stroller with an extending handlebar, but the Joolz is 41.5” handle height so it works well for my 6’5” husband. Our other contender was the uppa baby Minu, which is also pretty popular!

Joolz is great and light but not wonderful off of well-paved even roads. We have a bugaboo fox and a joolz aer plus and we use both for different needs. I also suggest getting the bassinet.

I used Joolz Aer+ with bassinet attachmnet for the newborn. It worked well for me. We used bassinet attachment a lot for the first 5.5 months because the baby liked to nap on the walks (and didn't like to nap in her actual bassinet at home). The undercarriage is good for some basics like diapers, wipes, and onesies. If we needed more stuff, we brought a backpack.

Joolz Aer+. I love it.

I never know how people with bigger strollers navigate and don't get frustrated. We've had the Joolz Aer+ for 15 months now and no complaints at all.

I have the Joolz Awr+. It handles great on different surfaces and has a carry strap when folded. I love it.

Yes! I have had the Joolz Aer for 21 months now. One of the reasons I got it was because of the smooth handling and wheels not getting stuck . My sister had a couple different strollers that I hated on city sidewalks cause they weren’t smooth and the wheels randomly stick. I have love the Joolz Aer.

The Joolz Aer has a bassinet attachment that still allows the stroller to fold up.

I only have the Joolz Aer and haven't wanted or needed anything else. It just comes down to personal preference. I don't think everyone needs two strollers in NYC. But I think there are some people whose needs or preferences require them to have two. I personally hated my sister's huge strollers, in the city and in the suburbs. I find the Joolz Aer the perfect size for city life and very robust.

4th floor walk up. We tested the most popular lightweight/travel strollers and we liked the joolz aer best because it has a strap and one handed fold. I needed something lightweight that I could do by myself. In the beginning I’d take her in the baby car seat off the stroller, fold it and put it on my shoulder and carry both up. When she got bigger and no longer in infant car seat I started leaving the stroller in the car because we always got parking pretty close. But if I needed to I could carry her and the stroller folded up with the shoulder strap.

I used the infant car seat with it. Joolz sells attachments you can use with an infant car seat. In my above comment that’s what I meant what I said “I would take her in the baby car seat.” I did originally buy the bassinet attachment because this stroller still folds up with the bassinet on it but it was too heavy for me. It was easier for me to keep her in the infant car seat sleeping and carry that in front of me with the stroller folded up with the stroller strap on my shoulder.

I got the Joolz Aer (similar to Nuna TRVL) because of the one hand fold and how narrow it was. I’ve used it for 29 months and have had no problems. A compact stroller opens up more options because you can fit through narrow aisles so you can pop into any store no matter how small. I also liked it better for eating out because it can fold up compact at smaller restaurants.

I used it with the Nuna Pipa Lite car seat when she was an infant and it was great, not too tipsy at all, but I think that’s the lightest car seat on the market. When she was old enough to not need the car seat I found it fine too. Once you unzip the back part to allow for recline the strap lets you easily adjust the recline position without having to zip and unzip it - I discovered this after a few times unzipping it.

Have had the Joolz Aer for my almost 2 year old her whole life. I love it and it handles so well.

I haven't tried both but have the Aer+ and am very happy with it

3.5 year old and 1 next week year old Hand me down Bugaboo Buffalo for our first, used a capsule. I hated the pram, but I think because I felt I had to accept the hand me down? Baby hated the pram, capsule, bassinet, car seat. It was also too big for the boot (Kia Seltos) and I hated that it was two pieces to dismantle into the boot. Bought a Reds Baby Jive 3 after an expo, just before the 5 came out. Liked that it was smaller and lighter but its aged very quickly. A much smaller basket, but I have basket thoughts below. This particular basket was held on by loops with presstuds and easily became detached. However, with toddler seat facing forwards you could fold it down in one, and I know they have taken this feature and improved even more with future Reds Baby prams. My one solid dislike of this pram is that it is lower profile. It would have been nicer to have baby up higher, which is what later editions have added in. First kid was well out of the pram when second baby arrived, but we got a second hand second seat for the Reds Baby. Didn't like that it was underneath the capsule but my big kid thought it was fun. Did us fine for the walk to and from daycare. We got a Joolz Aer+ for travel. I really like it, minus the basket and the straps. The straps get easily twisted and are hard to lengthen. The basket can't fit a backpack in it easily due to the shape of the basket. Joolz, Bugaboo and YoYo are good for travel as airlines recognise them and know they fit in the overhead. just make sure you have a travel bag for them. Friends/mothers group friends mostly got Uppa Baby Vista 2's. I liked it when testing it but no fancy, expensive pram would have made my eldest like it. I also wouldn't have liked the size of it in the boot. With baskets, people talk often about 'fit a supermarket shop in underneath'. Which yes, you can with some. Or you can get online delivery. Baskets become an excuse to bring everything but the kitchen sink. We spent a funny afternoon just before we had our second watching people push around prams at Melb Aquarium, using them to carry 5 coats/bags/lunchboxes like it was a beach trolley

We’ve taken the joolz aer+ with us on 2 holidays, one short haul (3hr flight) when baby was 2.5mo and one long haul (16hr flight) at 4mo both without the bassinet and it was perfect. The lie flat function is great, just buckle your LO in securely and you’ll be fine! When our LO was 4mo, they were wanting to sit up and look at things so we half raised it at that point (there’s a buckle that fastens in the pocket at the back), we could see the baby just fine. As a bonus, we lay the seat completely flat for naps. Worked a charm when we wanted to go for a quiet dinner post bedtime. Hands down, this pram has been the best investment we made as it’s much sturdier than prams in its weight class and handles rough terrain pretty well considering the size of the wheels.

i have the joolz aer+. bought it for a holiday abroad and ended up selling my other prams (nuna mixx and cosatto giggle) and keeping the aer+ for my daily. i bought it when my baby was just turned 1, she's 3 next month and it's still in like-new condition. it's so sturdy and good quality, you can tell it's well made. i cant recommend it enough. the accessories are fab, it's lightweight and compact, easy to fold, easy to push, the extendable hood is a good size. absolutely 0 complaints from me! my friend has the bugaboo butterfly and the leather is scuffed from her walking through doorframes etc and the seat fabric has worn away - she's only had hers a year and has spoken with bugaboo who essentially said it's normal / common so i would avoid tbh

i have the joolz aer+ and love it, cant recommend enough. it lies completely flat so safe for sleep, and has a bassinet option too if you want that, or you can buy adaptors that click on so you can attach a car seat. i bought mine for travel, but ended up selling my other pram and keeping the aer+ as i liked it so much. if you're looking into babywearing i really loved my ergobaby omni 360 breeze - carried my 85th centile baby from 3mo-2.5y in it comfortably for hours at a time and then resold it in perfect condition. both items are definitely built to last, you can feel the difference in quality compared to other brands

I have the Nuna Triv next and a Joolz aer+. I used the Nuna from birth and am still using it at 19 months almost daily. I got the Joolz when my daughter was 7 months old as the Nuna got too heavy with her to use on the tube by myself. So when I’m staying close to home or just going on the bus somewhere near I’ll use the Nuna. Going anywhere else or travelling abroad I’ve used the Joolz. I really like it and it’s super easy to fold and can go in the hold if you ever go on a plane etc.

I have a Nuna Triv next and also a Joolz aer+. It sounds like what you want is the Joolz to be honest. I do love my Nuna but I only use it in my local area/dog walks, I live in a house so very rarely fold it or have to carry it. When I’m going further away/on the tube(I live in zone 2 of London)/on flights etc I use my Joolz. It’s easy to fold with one hand (unlike the yoyo) and so I can fold it whilst holding my daughter as well. I would highly recommend the Joolz aer+ or aer2.
