Zoe - The Tour?²

We have taken our Zoe, with the original small wheels, to Europe a few times. It works fine!

Love the Uppababy Minu. The V3 has some nice upgrade features from the first two iterations. It’s so much smoother than my mountain buggy nano or Zoe stroller and the recline is close to flat. Underbasket is a little small but we’ve managed to pack it for two kids under 3-4 for Disney park days.

We have the Zoe, been using it for months, I did not know about the weight limit and have definitely put much more than that in the basket ??

I really like my Zoe tour for what you’re looking for! It drives nicely, folds up small-ish, and doesn’t weigh a ton. I use it as a travel stroller because we have a Cruz at home that I love but don’t want to lug around when we travel.

There’s definitely an overwhelming amount of options… You can definitely do a combo one that’s the car seat and stroller like the Doona. I think this is best for people who live in big cities or travel a lot. I personally don’t think they’re worth it.. you gotta buy a new car seat and stroller when they get bigger. You could get a bigger, travel system which is a good deal. Something like an UPPABaby vista or a mockingbird for a more budget friendly option with a car seat adapter is very nice. These also usually have options for a bassinet or an infant insert so you don’t always have to use the car seat! They’re very nice strollers with lots of storage, high weight limits, lots of accessories and can really last you a long time. The downside is they are pricey and often very heavy/take up a lot of trunk space! Another option is a travel stroller. Many people use these for every day!! There’s many options these days.. some top ones are the Zoe line, Buggaboo Butterfly, UPPAbaby Minu.. there’s many more. These sometimes can be used with a car seat, are often under 20 pounds, fold compactly, are great for toddlers, great for travel, more budget friendly! Downsides are often not best for infants unless it’s one with a car seat adapter, have less storage and not as many bells and whistles. So.. I chose 2. I went with the Mockingbird which is so nice and we love it. It’s great for babies with all the attachments. Worked with our Chico Key fit car seat and is a nice push! Adjustable handle bar was nice since my husband is a lot taller than me. But it’s really heavy for my small frame and took up my whole SUV trunk. So I also got the Zoe Tour. It’s also amazing!! It’s 13 pounds, folds flat, takes up a fraction of my trunk, great for travel and my toddler loves the snack tray and being able to sit fully upright. I keep that one in the trunk and the Mockingbird in the garage for walks. Lastly, check out The Stroller Mom on Instagram or YouTube! She does full videos comparing strollers and doing in-depth reviews of the most popular brands! That’s how I picked my two!! Good luck!

We have the Guava and love it! We had the car seat attachment as well and it worked out great for us. It’s supposedly the smallest of the jogging strollers, and it does fold up nice and neat, but it’s still quite heavy and cumbersome to fold and carry around, so we still ended up getting a compact travel stroller (a Zoe), especially because I don’t think the Guava would be practical for air travel. Just want to point out that you definitely don’t have to get more than 1 stroller to start! You can always get a jogger and see how it works for you, and then add a travel stroller if you feel you need it later. If I had to pick just 1, I’d definitely pick the Guava over our travel stroller for everyday use though. 

I have the Zoe. That basket 100% holds more than ten pounds lol

It was so sad when our 4 yo became too tall for it and we had to bring a “real” stroller. I loved how lightweight the Zoe was

I really like my Zoe tour for what you’re looking for! It drives nicely, folds up small-ish, and doesn’t weigh a ton. I use it as a travel stroller because we have a Cruz at home that I love but don’t want to lug around when we travel.

We love our Zoe! My only gripe is that the storage is limited compared to a legit double stroller (common with many travel strollers), but we do well with their side saddle mesh bags and a big carabiner on the handle for jackets and lighter bags.

we used either a zoe or a $20 cosco (not costco) umbrella stroller

We love our Zoe too! I use it over our heavier stroller always unless I need all terrain wheels.

I have a 14m age gap and the Zoe is so bad :(

We have 3 kids and we use our Zoe every single day.

Zoe! You can get them half price on goodbuygear. They’re only $200 new and worth every penny. One handed fold and unfold. We have the uppababy vista and the Zoe was the absolute perfect companion since it’s the polar opposite (small and lightweight) but still very premium feel and function. It also fits into the overhead compartment for flights!

Zoe travel stroller. Folds up and opens with one hand. Very light weight. Fits in airplane overhead compartment. Can buy bag or carrying straps separately. The canopy goes pretty far down. Back can lay almost flat. Storage isn’t the best.

Definitely look into the Zoe or the Baby Jogger Citi mini (not sure where you’re located but I can easily find a used double Baby Jogger in my area) Wagons aren’t worth flying with because most airlines won’t count it as a stroller and won’t gate check it for you, and will charge you for it as well. I also highly suggest bringing the baby carrier with you as well.

We had a Zoe travel stroller that was amazing. Super lightweight, great canopy, lays almost flat, a decent storage bin.

Even if it normally retails a bit over $200, you might find it for less at goodbuybaby. We recently got our Zoe stroller from there

we never used our UB stroller a s defaulted to the zoe or umbrella. sold the UB for a good ROI. it didn’t even fit in my car.

UB stroller (never fit in the trunk), UB infant seat (loved), graco slim fit 3in1 (used 1-5 rear facing). just got another slim graco for forward facing. preferred my zoe travel stroller for the trunk. i have a hatchback car.

Will depend on your method to the parks! If you're staying onsite and taking Disney's buses, then the Vista will be a pain to fold, unfold, and keep near you during the bus rides. If you plan to drive into the parks, then it's not really a factor and you will appreciate the extra storage that the Vista has over a travel stroller. We love our Zoe travel stroller, though my 4 year old isn't quite as tall as your son. Otherwise it's lightweight, folds down small, and fits in the overhead compartment while flying. My only gripe is storage (it's limited) so we hang bags from a big carabiner on the handle, and have purchased their extra side-saddle bags. Check their website and see if their measurements would work for your guy! As far as comfort goes I agree with the recommendation of renting a Bob jogging stroller. We have one at home and my girl lounges with plenty of room to spare. We had a Bob on our last family trip and my 9yo nephew curled in there for a nap during a lunch break. Renting 3rd party once you're there is super easy and reasonably priced. Will save you the stroller wrestling in the airport if you're flying! And no, I don't think packing a travel stroller into a backpack is worth your time. If you have something distinct for your stroller you won't have a hard time with stroller parking- throw a colorful swaddle blanket on top, a bright ribbon on the handle, a balloon, etc. Unpacking your items from under the stroller, folding it down, and then having a bulky backpack cramping your style on every ride sounds like much more of a pain than stopping at stroller parking.

I love the zoe stroller for my 3 and 1 year old. We have the double one but there is also a single version. It moves very nicely, is lightweight, and folds easily. It has a 60 lb weight limit. Their 7 year old cousin takes breaks sitting in it comfortably.

I’ve had a Zoe for about a year now and I hate it ever time I use it. Sure, the basket holds more than ten pounds but struggles catching the wheels as you push it. The entire thing is wobbly. I would love to switch to the uppababy duo. Bummer that accessories aren’t included. The Nuna was interesting to me too but I didn’t like that the seats had different widths. My two under two and much more like twins so the off center seats didn’t make sense for us.

We also have a Zoe. Would def recommend, esp the Tour bifold. Agree it is a true one-handed fold you can do mid stride even. I’d probably get the all-terrain wheels; they weren’t a thing when I got my model, but I think they’d solve my one small complaint.

I got the zoe travel stroller and it awesome for flying!

I have the Zoe Tour and it is amaaaazing. The stroller plus carseat adapter was under $350, comes in a couple light color options, and you can buy separate all-terain wheels (though I've had no problem with the wheels it came with). What really sold me was that its super lightweight but still feels sturdy. My friend has the double version and I pushed 3 kids in it (totaling around 125lbs) and it felt like nothing. She's used hers for daily walks and traveling and its held up incredibly well

We love our Zoe! Took our 2 yo to Japan with it last year. We bought the upgraded accessories- the all terrain wheels, the side saddle storage bags, and the rain cover (we went in Feb). It was lightweight and easy through many Tokyo subway stair climbing sessions, Disney Sea, and through a hiking trail in Hakone.

We had so many different strollers for different purpose. Our fav is ZOE, it is truly a one hand fold esp you have to hold your child one hand while the other hand folding the stroller. A lot of it depends on how crowded the bus is, if it is not too busy then prob no need to fold but it is packed, prob a good idea to fold it up while you sit and hold the child.

The Zoe stroller goes up to very nearly 90 degrees.

I don't have the Twin, but will say Zoe's customer service is amazing. Had a small piece of the harness clip break on the Tour, and they send a replacement immediately. I believe they recently upgraded the Twin as well.

Zoe was amazing for travel in my experience! Easy open and close, and super light

I have it. It doesn't go up to 90 degrees, but it goes up pretty close. My kid also hated reclining, always wanted to sit up, and this stroller worked for us. The other nice thing about it - which is hard to describe but I'll try - is the back isn't super structured in place. So if the baby sits straight up while strapped in, she'll pull the seat up with her. So essentially it doesn't hold the baby back and instead allows the baby to sit up completely, if she wants. This worked great for my curious kid.
