We have the Joie Ginger with Mint latch and LOVE IT!! I am a FTM but have been a babysitter on the side prior to pregnancy and hated most strollers/car seats with a passion!
We took it to our grocery store, and it went over the bumps very nicely and was super easy to push and maneuver!
I’m honestly not sure, my son is a premie so we use the car seat adapters more than anything
I disagree completely! We have the Joie ginger & mint and having the bassinet attachment got us outside more. We didn’t have to worry about baby falling asleep on walks since bassinets are sleep safe. Plus the bassinet attachment turns into the stroller seat when they are old enough for it so it’s never not gotten use.
I was stuck between the same strollers and ended up with the Joie ginger & mint and I love it. My baby was born last June and we got a TON of use out of the bassinet attachment. Plus the bassinet turns into the stroller seat so it’s not like there’s some extra attachment that will never be used again. The latch system is also unbeatable in convenience. Depending on where you live Joie is also great in the winter. I live in Alaska and it’s never given us trouble in any conditions. It’s made by the same company as Nuna with the biggest different from Nuna being the fabric. So I see it as a high end budget option. 10/10 recommend!
Joie travel system is made by the same company as Nuna. They are almost exactly the same thing. I love ours and we saved about a grand getting the Joie instead
I love my Joie travel system. It’s made by the same parent company as Nuna and it’s really nice and sleek looking but much more affordable. We bought it with our completion discount and saved extra money. It’s not a swivel car seat but it’s a latch car seat so it’s very easy to get baby in and out of car.
I just bought a diaper bag from Target 🤷♀️ I think social media makes you think you need something fancy but really just any diaper bag works
So for background, I’m due in October and my husband and I live in the Northeast US in a more rural area with lots of hiking / walking trails. We do have several downtown areas / paved trails too and travel to see family / friends quite a bit in more urban environments. Because our needs are so variable I am committing to two separate strollers - a Thule stroller to handle winters, gravel, and unstable terrain and a more compact travel system.
I am very adamant about not spending for luxury brands because of our need for two systems. I bought a Joie Ginger travel system with car seat for 40% off a few months ago but I learned that the car seat won’t be compatible with the Thule. It fits our other needs - multiple modes, baseless car seat, only about 20 lbs - but I won’t be able to snap the car seat into the Thule for our baby’s first 6 months.
Should I get a whole new stroller system for convenience sake or would it be better to get the bassinet attachment for the Thule instead? Paid just over $350 for the joie travel system on sale so I’m reluctant to give it up as that’s only a little more than the usual price of a car seat alone
I have been using the Joie Ginger and mint travel system for almost 3 months and I absolutely love it! I’m in the Midwest and didn’t think a bassinet was a must, but I actually use it a lot (even in the cold) baby loves to be bundled up and go for walks. I highly recommend it. The overall stroller and car seat is really great quality, and we have gotten so much use out of it.
Mom to a 6 month old and the Joie Ginger and Mint travel system has been AMAZING! I use it almost daily. I just recently switched to using the actual stroller seat not in bassinet mode, and didn’t realize how much use I would actually get out of the bassinet so it was a must have. Using the car seat attachment for quick in and out errands has been a lifesaver. It handles our bumpy sidewalks well and has no problem pushing through grass. It has been a great all in one travel system, and i definitely recommend it! Plus I feel it’s a good mid range price point.

Travel-friendly, city-nimble, but tiny storage and struggles off-pavement.
