Redsbaby - SKIP² Stroller

Redsbaby by far. I had the Joolz Aer and I upgraded to the redsbaby. The recline, the upright seat, the basket, the sun cover. I find them all far better than the Joolz!

I will say I feel like the Joolz was slimmer when folded but still would go for the redsbaby

Just bought the Redsbaby skip! Can't wait to use it. Felt sturdier than the buggagoo and joelaer.

I also liked the fact that the rear wheels are wider than the front wheels in skip2, so felt more sturdy and less prone to tip. Not sure why bugaboo butterfly, joolz and yoyo all have narrow rear wheels.

I love the Redsbaby Skip2, so convenient!

like: - son is comfy in it for long periods of time - good coverage on canopy - bump bar extra was a good buy, son always holds onto it - easy newborn compatibility for when i have a second - easy one hand fold - basket holds alot for travel pram standards (done my produce market shop and supermarket top up with it) - overall so many new features from the old model , its hard to wrong and they sorta just added all the features it needed dislike - no peekaboo window on canopy (the only feature I think they missed) - back of basket is quite floppy if stuff leaning onto it - I don't like the carry strap, it's kinda elastically so I find it harder to pick up and carry on my shoulder (compared with the 1st skip just had a normal tight strap) maybe a me problem? Overall minor issues, and weren't deal breakers other thoughts - worth noting with the belly bar attachment, it requires 2 hands to fold down before folding the whole pram, so it no longer a 1 handed fold logically. however I do manage to do it holding my son awkwardly n it is optional accessory.. - it does have a great recline I just can't say much because my son doesn't use that feature (doesn't sleep in prams) haha Will edit if I think of something else..

I had a redsbaby pram that was able to be converted into a double but it was so heavy to me (even though it was lighter than the vista) and clunky. I ended up selling it on marketplace and buying a redsbaby skip2 which is their travel pram and haven’t looked back. If I had to do it again, I’d go straight to the skip. Even if I had another baby soon (my first is 17 months) I wouldn’t upgrade to a double pram, they’re so big and clunky to haul around

I second the Redsbaby skip. We are currently in the UK and we've dragged it everywhere, through mud and rain and all. It's been amazing.

Redsbaby Skip! The latest version is the skip3 and sooo many new features! I have a skip2 and love it

I have the Skip2 and will look to upgrade to the Skip3 later in the year. I will preface that we do a lot of air travel so the weight of the pram is important to us. I can see, for example, that the Skip3 is a full 500g lighter than the Butterfly - that would be a big plus for us. It’s already hard enough to keep within the free carryon weight limits! I’ve had no issues with the quality of the pram. The fabric washes well and spot cleans easily (we have the green). The frame build has been fine - I’ve never been concerned about that if I’m honest. It handles well over footpaths and uneven ground (though it wouldn’t do well on gravel/grass/off road surfaces). It maneuvers very well in comparison to our standard sized pram (we can weave in and out of crowds). We use it for day trips into the city, zoo, weekends away and I’ve been really happy! Our bub is average height but he still sleeps well in it. If the footrest isn’t down then his legs do hang over the edge when sitting fully upright but that doesn’t bother me given we don’t keep his feet raised. Not sure how helpful that is but we love it enough to keep it and upgrade!

Yeh, I had to travel like 3 weeks before the skip3 came out so bought the Joolz Aer but if I was buying today I would likely get the skip3. Value seems a lot better than the other leading ones! OP didn’t mention the age of their child because this would influence me. Some older kids want to be pretty upright which the skip3 and Jools Aer are good for. Some may be happier being on a slight recline or are younger and need lots of recline which the skip2 has without the need to purchase the bassinet, unlike the joolz and the skip3.

Definitely have a look secondhand. We have a Redsbaby Skip2 which we love. Fits into the overhead compartment. As the new model (Skip3) has just been released you might have luck finding the previous ones in your price range!

Butterfly or the Skip would both be good for this age. What pram do you currently have?

I have the redsbaby skip, and we've travelled with it domestically. It fits in the overhead cabin perfectly well, you just have to put it in the bag (which is provided with the pram).

We have the skip2. It has a really good hood, reclines really far back and has a weight rating (20kg for the seat). We use it when we travel and sometimes I do wish it was alittle less bulky when folded up but in terms of actual use I think the trade off is worth it. I know people who have the travel strollers which fold down really small but there is not enough shade and they normally top out at 15kg which would put my three year old as too heavy already.

Bugaboo Butterfly is another good choice - it's a 1 handed fold, can go as carry on (We've flown with it both overseas and domestic this year), can recline, good size basket you can fit a backpack in (the yoyo basket is tiny), good size canopy (good for naps). Has a footrest included (unlike the Aer). It's readily available to try at Baby Bunting. I would personally go the Butterfly or Skip over the Yoyo as the 1 handed fold is so handy.

Skip is great, especially with the near full recline. We started using with our bub at 4 months. It now lives in the car and is so useful for appointments/shopping etc. Very easy to use one handed, and depending on where you live, is great that it’s been designed with Australian climate in mind (UPF50 mesh that allows airflow etc)

We have the skip2 and I’m sad we don’t get the nifty skip3 features! We do love the skip2 though. We’ve taken it domestic and international with no issues.

We’ve got the skip and it’s great

I will say I feel like the Joolz was slimmer when folded but still would go for the redsbaby

Are you planning to put a newborn in there? (It’s unclear if you mean you want the stroller to last from birth to 2-3, or for a 2-3 year old). If so, I wouldn’t go the butterfly. If it’s the latter though, the butterfly would be good. If it’s the former, I’d get the Redsbaby Skip with the newborn attachment.

We have the Skip (and also Redsbaby Jive) and overall very happy with it. We've taken it on planes and it fits in the overhead compartment. It lives in my car and we use it most days. Only downside is the pram basket isn't huge, but we can still fit a small bag under there.

We also have a Skip 2 and love it! The recline was what won me over, as both the Butterfly and Joolz Aer+ were much more limited in that respect. Was super easy to use at the airport, fold and store in the overhead. And the carry strap is surprisingly comfy and well-balanced.

I've got one. It's a good little, lightweight pram that I've had for about a year and it's our only pram. I got it over other ones because it's for newborn up which means the seat can go relatively flat but also relatively straight upright. It's also meant to be good for taller children. My 90th percentile 13 month old is very happy in it. Plus the price point worked well for us and I knew my baby would outgrow a pram bassinet quickly being 90th percentile (we got it when he was 4 weeks old). Some cons though - not one handed fold/unfold like others. You have to pull this awkwardly placed red lever to unfold it fully. And to fold it you need to pull both left and right sides of the handlebars. - pram basket is quite small, hard to fit a nappy bag in but we use a caddy so it's fine. - no window to look through the hood so I have to pull it back to see what bub is doing - handle bars aren't height adjustable but to be fair, I dont think most travel prams can. And it is on the taller side compared to other travel prams. - accessories can sometimes be out of stock for months. I bought my pram in Feb but had to wait until May to get the foot muff and rain cover. - seat is a pain to adjust as it uses a toggle that you have to pull. But again, I think a lot of prams use a similar system.

I have the redsbaby skip3 if you have any questions! (It ticks all your boxes).I haven't had it long but I'm using it as a everyday pram and haven't used for travel yet but I've used it alot already , previously I had the 1st model skip for my last trip. I'm happy with it for the price point it's amazing, I think it's the best travel pram for its price range. I couldnt consider the aer, yoyo, butterfly etc.. because out of my budget but i couldnt imagine spending more for them over the skip3 anyway. I always see yoyos out and about n im sussing them out but I don't get the hype but maybe I'm missing something!

We have the Skip 2 as well...the Skip3 looks even better haha but the one we have serves us fine. We've taken it interstate in the overhead locker multiple times with no issues. It currently lives in my car as an everyday pram.

We have a skip 2- absolutely love it and rather use it than my big bulky pram. Taken it on four flights and it fits really well overhead. I see the new one is a one hand fold which is great. I find the recline on it much better than my normal pram as it lies flat, unlike normal pram that is a bucket type seat. Resale wise, everyone on the buy swap sell pages are always after a skip and hold their value pretty well.

Redsbaby by far. I had the Joolz Aer and I upgraded to the redsbaby. The recline, the upright seat, the basket, the sun cover. I find them all far better than the Joolz!

I bought the skip 2 at Black Friday last year. Sold it when the skip 3 got announced cause the improvements are so good! Can’t wait. The nuvo is nice and all but I’m keen for a more compact pram.

I love our redsbaby skip3, and our friends love their skip2 - lightweight and one handed fold!

We got the Redsbaby Jive (nuvo hadn't come out when we bought our pram) because we wanted the option of adding a second seat if needed. I'm now pregnant with our second so I'm glad we went with our gut. The uppababy vista wouldn't fit in the boot of my hatchback lol. We also got the Skip 2 which lives in my car. We love it, and have taken it on several flights.
