Guava Family - Roam Crossover Stroller

The guava roam does not have a hand break if that’s critical for you. But I have it and I love it because it can handle the crappy or non existent sidewalks in my area + it’s narrow enough to take into stores.

We had the Chicco cleartex infant seat and now have the Chicco cleartex rotating seat and love it! If you decide to go with a jogging stroller, we are obsessed with our Guava stroller! Have used it twice a day for over a year and it is still good as new!

We have the yoyo which I keep in my car almost always in case we need it, and travel with it. We used it as our only stroller for maybe 9-12 months and then got the guava roam because I wanted to be able to walk in the woods and unpaved bike path. The yoyo still works almost always and I love that it’s small enough to keep in the car, but on our daily walks we use the guava one now. I’m definitely super happy to have both!! Can’t see the need for more than two though.

So we have a yoyo2 and guava roam. The yoyo was our only stroller for almost the first year, used first with the bassinet. Now at almost 2.5, we still use it for travel and always keep it in the car so anytime we go on a walk somewhere else, we use it unless we know we'll need the guava for the bigger wheels. The yoyo is so great bc it's really small but high quality, fits in 99% of overhead bins on planes and takes up such a small amount of room in the car. Unless we're on a bumpy/muddy trail, it does fine. The guava roam I love and recommend to everyone if you have space! It allows kid to sit fully upright which mine really likes. So many strollers recline no matter the setting. It's also super smooth and has a big basket. I would consider what you want in a stroller, and maybe do another post looking for recs based on that! I will say for many people, having a regular stroller and a travel stroller ends up being the best bet.

We have the guava roam and love it! I think it’s a great choice. We didn’t have when my first was little but I think you can get car seat adapters for it? Not positive. Our second stroller is a yoyo and we used that with the bassinet in the beginning. If you wanted a second stroller I’d encourage you to get something like that that can be used for travel so you don’t feel like you’ve bought something for just the beginning.

You can buy a stroller frame that's essentially a car seat holder on wheels for very cheap. There are lots of options.  For myself, I love the Guava stroller for easy travel and slightly more amenities. It comes with a car seat adapter for newborns. Honestly don't bother with the bassinet.

Depends how your going to be using your stroller. If your going to be walking/jogging down that dirt road regularly or be in rural areas a lot, your gonna want some sort of jogger stroller or something with inflatable wheels. If your going to keep it in your vehicle and use it for when your going shopping in the city, going out to eat, and use it for an urban sort of lifestyle, with tad bits of times you walk the stroller on gravel, grass, etc, maybe a good all terrain full stroller with good suspension like Uppababy Cruz, Nuna Mixx Next, Bugaboo Fox 5. If you want something more budget friendly in this category maybe the Chicco Corso or Bravo stroller,Graco Modes Nest 2 grow. Jogger strollers include BabyJogger city mini gt, Thule Urban Glide, Guava Roam, Uppababy Ridge, etc. A carseat is 100% necessary, so no matter what, that should be the 1st thing you look at. Find 1 you like, then look at what strollers its compatible with (usually you might have to buy a separate adapter if you use a different brand of carseat from the stroller). You can always look at what strollers already come as part of a bundled travel system with that carseat. But before you even get started looking at carseats, you need to make a decision ifbyour going to use an Infant Carseat (pill bug looking seats), or a convertible carseat (the big ones that stay in a vehicle), or both.

Guava! It’s glides and has airless tires !

We have the Guava stroller. It’s a single. We used it with the attachment for the car seat when she was an infant and now use it almost daily at 2 years old. It has held up well. It’s good for more rough terrain. I think it looks like a cross between a jogger and a stroller.

Check to see if the Valco Baby Trend Duo is avail near you. I went from guava roam single (all terrain jogger) to Valco Baby double and SUPER happy with it. They now have a ‘sport’ version which is even more geared toward all terrain

We got the guava roam and we have loved it so far. It folds up nicely, even though the wheels are giant.

In my opinion, yes! We also have the guava roam for when she’s old enough. I prefer a jogging stroller, but I felt like we needed a regular stroller for daily use for shopping and other things, especially with a bassinet feature.

I cannot in good faith steer you away from the guava roam. I have tried a few different ones when I was a nanny and it’s by far the best in my experience if you plan on using it often.

We have an Uppababy Cruz as our daily stroller and the guava roam for hikes and outings once baby is older. We wanted a stroller for the early days when you don’t want to take them out of the car seat for a quick appointment.

I can’t speak for the Urban Glide but I’m also a runner and use the Guava Roam stroller for both running and everyday use. It has airless wheels so they never pop or need to be pumped and it’s a very smooth ride, even on rough terrain. Also fits fine in supermarket aisles and stores. I don’t use it on the bus or subway though, I need to get a travel stroller for that.

I trained for the NYC marathon in both 2024 and 2025 with the Guava Roam. Up until my daughter was about 9 months, I used the car seat adapter with a Nuna car seat. She’s now 20 months and it’s the only stroller we’ve had since she was born. But we never took it in a cab or on the subway, too heavy. Used the baby bjorn when we flew to California and rented a stroller when we got there. But she’s too big for that now and I just had to buy a travel stroller for our January trip.
