Joolz - Aer²

Ditto! It’s great.

This is a bit late but I have the joolz aer2 and so far I love it. The zipping for reclining is a bit annoying as it requires you to use both hands when zipping it back up again and the storage basket underneath isn't very spacious but I still love it. It handles uneven rough terrain alright and most importantly is very comfy ( so much so that my toddler who hated his first stroller—mothercare journey edit—loves going on this one). The seats are padded well and the footrest is also padded so they are comfortable for the littles ones. Plus it's easy to fold and carry especially with the built in strap which let's you carry it over the shoulder. An incredibly useful feature when both hands are occupied. It also fully reclines and the sun shade has great coverage making it ideal for naps and walks in sunny conditions. My only real issue is with the foldable bumper. It tends to detach when opening it to strap in or take out the baby. Plus my toddler is able to push it and detach it too. This flimsiness can be annoying, especially because it costs quite a bit and has to be purchased seperately. But otherwise it's a great stroller and I love taking it out on walks. I haven't used the bugaboo but the upright on joolz is great and I think the wheels are a tad bigger too making them more suitable for rougher terrain. Personally I would recommend heading to a store and checking both out and seeing which one is better for you. For me comfort for my baby was supreme so I love that the joolz seat is padded well and comfy. The straps also have padding and mesh, making them breathable and comfy for the baby and toddler.

This is what we’ve settled on, plus a Doona because we do a lot of plane travel and it seems convenient for that while they’re still little. 

Ma try mo watch si stroller mom for reviews. Depende kasi yan sa budget at lifestyle mo. Ako kasi ive decided na something handy for travelling pero makakanap si lo pag napagod plus pwede pangharabas sa mall or yun kaya ko and hassle-free kahit kaming 2 lang. i bought joolz aer kasi pwede din ako sumakay haha tapos kaya operate ng 1 hand. Namili nalang ako ng mga sabit sabit for cup holder and sabit ng bag or sa ilalim. Very durable din ??nagamit na ng panganay ko (until 4yo) then ngayon sa nb ko naman kaya sulit ??

I’m so surprised at everyone mentioning the UPPABABY? That shit is heavy duty and IMO not what the OP is looking for at all. I’d highly recommend the joolzaer. Travel friendly, extremely lux European brand and allows bassinet attachment/ car seat so it’s perfect to use from birth. If you are in a typical urban/city living it will be perfect. If you are in rough terrain, might not be the most ideal but it’s under 7Kg, 8kg basket & fits everywhere and anywhere!!

I have a travel stroller. Most people I know stopped using a full or mid-size stroller by the time their child reached 18 months. They bought a travel stroller. I did a ton of stroller research. I tried a lot of friends strollers. The Yoyo is tricky to close and has a small basket. I don’t like it. The aer also has a tiny basket. I had a Minu, not the strollers fault, someone crushed it by dropping their full size stroller on it at daycare. I replaced it with the Butterfly because my son is tall. I prefer the Minu. It folds even with stuff in the basket that's not the case with most travel strollers. Full and mid size strollers don't fit in boutique or cornerstone aisles. So you'll be leaving it outside. Also remember your 8 month old will be a 2 year old. Not all subway stations have elevators. You can't carry a mid-size stroller by yourself. You want something you can carry with one hand your child's hand in the other.

I had it thrown in with my first Uppababy pram - i live metro melbourne and found the wheels to always tilt to one side ie super sensitive to uneven pavement. Ended up buying joolz aer and much sturdier! Heard great things about bugaboo butterfly too if want bigger basket space

Just received both the Minu v3 and Aer2 today to test side by side because I couldn’t make up my mind.  They are both really nice. The basket on the Minu is bigger and easier to access, though the Aer has a decent size basket too. It’s just a little harder to get things in and out of.  They both fold/unfold super easy. The Aer is a little smaller and lighter which I think would be better for an overhead bin, but both should fit and if you happen to need to gate check, using Uppababy’s travel bag means they will send you a new stroller if the airline breaks it which I think is huge.  The lighter frame of the Aer made it feel a little less stable and more tippy compared to the Minu. The Minu feels incredibly sturdy and grounded. Both feel lightweight and are very easy for me to lift at 24 weeks pregnant. Both of them have a really nice one-handed push, but the Aer felt like it could tip going around sharp corners, even with my 25 pound toddler in the seat.  The calf support of the Minu is sturdier, with a button to adjust the angle versus the Aer’s mechanism that just requires you to pull or push it. My 17 month old was able to push the calf support all the way down kicking his legs while sitting in the Aer seat, but it stayed locked into position on the Minu.  The recline on the Aer goes a little deeper and the seat sits up slightly straighter than the Minu, but the zipper and clasp mechanism is more trouble versus the Minu’s strap recline system. I pulled the strap a little tighter on the Minu which helped to get the seat into a slightly more upright position and my nosy toddler was happy with that.  Handle height on both was comfortable for me at 5’3” and my 6’4” husband.  I think the harness on the Minu is more convenient than the under-seat harness adjustment on the Aer.  In the end, decided to keep the Minu. I tested it out on grass while taking it to the car and it handled it really well! Not great on gravel, but I think it would handle cobblestones or rougher sidewalks okay. 

I have it and I have another travel stroller. It’s mostly good with good wheels but I don’t think it lies down flat enough like the other I have ( silvercross jet ) also the basket is def big enough but I find the seat just to be too short and not long enough.

Love the Joolz Aer. I've put in hundreds of miles with it and it's still going strong. I keep waiting for the wheels to eventually wear down. I carry it up and down subway stairs, take it on the bus, etc. Someone had given us a much heavier duty Uppa Baby stroller that we used like three times then never again because we found the Joolz so much more manageable.

Love the Joolz Aer.

Don't fall for the Uppababy hype. While it is a well built stroller,. it is overkill and after using other lightweight strollers feels way too heavy. They are also too big to travel with imo, even in cars unless you have a big SUV or Van. Great if all you are doing is walking flat ground to the park. One exception is possibly for the first couple months when your baby can't hold their head up yet, then it is nice to have a stroller with a bassinet or car-seat compatible options. Maybe see if you can borrow one for those couple months and then switch to something lighter after. Or just use a carrier for those months. (Although the Joolz does have a bassinet option also) If I was starting over I'd probably just go with one of the Joolz light weight stroller that also is easy to travel with. I've heard good things about the yoyo also. We took the Joolz Aer to Europe, fit in the overhead compartment and handled the cobble stone streets great.

This one has been great for us. Nice and easy fold down while traveling is key.

Mine is called the Joolz Aer and it was amazing. Super light and folds up small. Put all stroller basket items in a packing cube so we could grab the cube and fold up the stroller and jump right into the tram.

It doesn’t lay totally flat but I love the Joolz Aer for airplane travel and everyday use. The one-handed fold can’t be beat and it rides so smoothly.

I got the minu v3 and it seemed so flimsy for the price. Returned it and bought the bugaboo butterfly and I love it so much - one handed fold, super light weight. I’m 5’2 and husband is 6’2 and we both use it comfortably. I tested the AER plus and 2 and this seemed better.

I would’ve bought Joolz for a newborn since it has a newborn bassinet attachment which the Butterfly lacks, but for a toddler - team Butterfly all the way!

I have a Cybex Gazelle and absolutely love it. It has built in adapters so that you can add another seat when you have your second baby and the weight capacity is the same for the top or bottom seat. The suspension is great, the basket is large, easy to fold and store in the trunk of my SUV, has adapters for the Nuna Pipa car seat, also has a bassinet attachment. I have pushed it with my toddler and infant easily. When we don't feel like using the second rumble seat, my toddler just hops in the basket at the bottom and relaxes comfortably. The shopping basket is also handy. I got the Joolz Aer as a travel stroller and also love it.

We have the Aer and love it for travel! We’ve taken it onto the plate and put it in the overheads no problem. Our son is 19 months now and still uses it, but does like to walk occasionally, but his stamina is low so it still get use! You’ll probably time you end up using it more than your original one, especially in London as it’s so light and easy to handle.

Never been happy with Silvercross. We’ve had the Silvercross full bundle - car seat was rubbish and the pram was heavy and impractical. Rucksack and hand warmers were a nice touch. I would avoid any Silvercross products based on my experience. We’ve had the Bugaboo double (side by side, called donkey I think?!) - it’s good but a bit unwieldy, Doona one that converts to a car seat (useful but heavy and uncomfortable for child), Babyzen yo-yo (useful for travel but limited) and the Joolz aer which is great for travel (can get on a plane) and more versatile than the Babyzen so it can be used more like a normal pram - it’s been my favourite travel pram. On a side note, the Cybex car seats that rotate are amazing.

We use our Joolz aer2 as an everyday stroller! It’s the BEST. One handed fold, overhead bin compliant, lies flat, lightweight, tall handle, pushes great in our city’s bumpy sidewalks. Also can be purchased with a bassinet that folds with the stroller or a parent facing seat! (These weren’t available when we purchased it so i can’t speak to quality)
