Joolz - AER+

I also have the Joolz Aer Plus and just tried out the minu v3. I had a hard time opening the minu V3. It is definitely not as smooth as the joolz. I don’t know if I got a defective one or if that’s the way it is on all. Is anyone having trouble with squeeza and fold/ unfold on minu v3? I absolutely love the one-handed fold, and the light weight of the Joolz. I hate the useless recline and the tiny under basket. The minu has a huge and capable basket and a great recline. It’s a tough choice, but it is 3 pounds heavier also

We are in the same situation as you, city living, no car, no option to store the stroller at the ground level of our walk up.  We bought a Joolz Aer + with a bassinet attachment- baby’s not quite here yet so I don’t have a full review. But I am happy to say it feels really solid and not like just a travel stroller, especially with the bassinet attachment. It’s a lot smaller than my friends bugaboo (because of course it is) so I dont know if we will use the bassinet attachment for as long. But it folds great, with or without the bassinet, and the bassinet is easy to take on and off, which is what we wanted for our 2nd floor walk up (3rd floor european) apartment. And I cannot imagine buying a heavier stroller than this - it’s supposed to be one of the lightest but still damn! 2 things I might see as negatives with use- 1. The suspension isn’t as good as a full size of course.  I am hoping it is good enough, but we live in a town with a fair amount of cobblestones and even some “stroller approved hikes” so I will definitely be putting it to the test!  2. I wish an engineer would make magic and find a way to make a lightweight travel stroller with the storage capacity of a full size- since we also don’t have a car I know I will be filling the storage underneath to absolute max capacity and I wish it was bigger, but I know it’s not possible and actually the Joolz aer has been praised for having more room than other compacts.  The way I reassured myself to pull the trigger on this one was to start with the smallest stroller that could work and get it on sale/ used. That way, if it didn’t work out as an every day stroller, we had a good stroller for flights (all family lives abroad) and we could feel better about keeping this one for travel, store it away (like I said, it folds great) and then invest in something more robust for every day if we really needed it. Good luck with your search! 

Seconding this! It’s so smooth over bumps and easy to maneuver.

Ditto! It’s great.

Hi there. If you are worried about travel and wanting your stroller to fit in the overhead on the plane, then do NOT get the Butterfly. It is slightly too big to fit. I cannot speak for the Redsbaby Skip as I have not used it. I have the Redsbaby Jive though and I am 100% happy with the quality. For travelling we were gifted the Joolz Aer+ by my inlaws. I absolutely love it. It is light and practical and very easy to carry around. Also fits comfortably in the overhead compartment.

I have the Aer+. There’s a bassinet attachment that you can purchase for a newborn- my baby used it and it seemed quite comfortable for her! I love that it’s a one handed fold too- very helpful when I’m managing things by myself day to day. As for the recline, does your baby only sleep in full recline mode? My baby actually sleeps better in the Aer+ than my full sized Uppababy Cruz 😅 I’ve since discovered she doesn’t like sleeping flat on her back when out and about

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

joolz aer+ ticks all of your boxes (but has a completely flat recline, therefore safe for sleep) x

I was at Baby Bunting recently and the Bugaboo Butterfly was on a raised shelf and did not have time to take it down and test it. I have used the Yoyo and though it feels strong, my partner and I could never get it to collapse effortlessly without some issue. The Joolz Aer+ test was fantastic. My partner struggled on first go to collapse as she was being too gentle, but on subsequent attempts was a natural and the weight and stretchy strap made it a breeze to carry. We were looking for a primary full size pram with parent facing and larger wheel features and ended up going with something else however out of all the travel prams this was the easiest and simplest to use and felt quite sturdy. Side note, the Bugaboo Butterfly has a 2+2 year warranty whereas the Joolz Aer+ has 10 years transferrable. I do not think you can go wrong with either so long as they are accepted as carry on. You may be able to get the Aer+ with bonus bumper bar for as low as $604 by clicking on Baby Bunting's product page price match + -5% link and using the current price at Banana Baby. I have used their service in the past and usually their response time is less than 24hrs.

Another vote for Joolz Aer+! We bought it for an international trip (went in cabin overhead), but have been reaching for it over our usual big pram since we got back too. Fantastic fold, zippy and lightweight, shade canopy is about the biggest I’ve seen on compact prams, and the basket is way more functional than the yoyo without two rods running straight through the middle.

Second this - love my Joolz aer+. Only con is the extra attachments you can buy are expensive (footrest, belly bar, rain cover, bassinet attachment). It's also only 6+ months Can confirm Australian one does not lay flat.

Where did you buy the International one? I got the Aus one because I was impatient but I sort of regret it. Love everything else about this pram. 

Ugh, we went to the UK just a couple months after I bought ours. I should have just waited. 

Joolz aer+ for its one handed fold. It doesn’t recline flat but the canopy is larger than most other travel prams. Bought new when it was discounted for less than I was seeing second hand yoyos on marketplace. 

I'm a huge fan of our Joolz Aer + (one hand fold!) but I ended up buying new because there was hardly any secondhand stock in my area.
