We have the joolz aer + as a travel buggy and travel many times and it is brilliant. I believe the new version is even better. I did have an issue with it once but I must say that I am not very gentle with the buggy 😅 and we travel lots The company was very helpful and fast in replacing the broken part with no cost to me. It’s an easy one hand fold and reclines almost flat and has an extendable canopy which I found so helpful for naps on the go.

I have the Joolz Aer + and has been amazing so far. The one I have can be inclined fully so newborn can use it. Can be folded and unfolded one hand, baby looks so comfy using it

We had basically the same requirements and ended up getting a Joolz aer+ (on discount bc they are phasing out that model), plus the Clek Liing car seat. If you want parent facing, the new Joolz aer2 would be a good fit!

Sorry just to add! Our plan is to keep this as our “car stroller” and down the line, get a separate jogging/full sized stroller used off fb marketplace, to be used around our neighborhood, if we need a second. Also- I had trouble finding a travel stroller with an extending handlebar, but the Joolz is 41.5” handle height so it works well for my 6’5” husband. Our other contender was the uppa baby Minu, which is also pretty popular!

There is no perfect solution, most people I know ended up with both a version of a 1 and 2 at some point! We got a Nuna with our first, used it as a double with our second (it really depend when you have baby 2!) and have the Aer+ as a lightweight/travel one.

Joolz is great and light but not wonderful off of well-paved even roads. We have a bugaboo fox and a joolz aer plus and we use both for different needs. I also suggest getting the bassinet.

All my research recommended two strollers - a really well built one, and a travel one, and that's what we ended up with. We actually bought two thinking we would keep one and saw they had different purposes. Here are some features that were important to us (either in buying or in retrospect): * The tallest handle possible for my tall husband (Bugaboo Fox 5) * Really good suspension for badly maintained roads (Bugaboo) * Lightness, foldability, and size to take indoors places like doctor's offices (Joolz Aer+) * Fit in care (Joolz Aer+) * Bassinet (both, but if I were to do it over I'd consider the one company that does overnight rated bassinets for naps) Things I didn't care about - car seat systems - each of these had adapters for our car seats. While we did carseats on both strollers for doctor's appts, for antyhing else we transferred baby to the bassinet. What we did find is that these really aren't interchangable. For example, the Joolz is really bumpy and our baby seems like they are sliding out of it now that they are bigger, but it's also the one that fits in the car and in public spaces well (like eating outdoors at a restaurant). The Bugaboo is much easier to handle once unfolded and comfier for baby but also now 50 pounds with the baby in it. The suspension really helps, but it can be a workout on hills and heavy to take down steps.

I used Joolz Aer+ with bassinet attachmnet for the newborn. It worked well for me. We used bassinet attachment a lot for the first 5.5 months because the baby liked to nap on the walks (and didn't like to nap in her actual bassinet at home). The undercarriage is good for some basics like diapers, wipes, and onesies. If we needed more stuff, we brought a backpack.

I have the Joolz Awr+. It handles great on different surfaces and has a carry strap when folded. I love it.

I would do car service with car seat to and from airport, schedule ahead of time. Arecibo is one. I would do a travel stroller and baby carrier around the city. Our main stroller is the Joolz Aer+ and we love it. It has a great basket size, great handling on city sidewalks and one handed easy fold. It’s narrow and easy to get around and compact enough when folded to fit into smaller cafe’s restaurants.

Yes! I have had the Joolz Aer for 21 months now. One of the reasons I got it was because of the smooth handling and wheels not getting stuck . My sister had a couple different strollers that I hated on city sidewalks cause they weren’t smooth and the wheels randomly stick. I have love the Joolz Aer.

The Joolz Aer has a bassinet attachment that still allows the stroller to fold up.

I only have the Joolz Aer and haven't wanted or needed anything else. It just comes down to personal preference. I don't think everyone needs two strollers in NYC. But I think there are some people whose needs or preferences require them to have two. I personally hated my sister's huge strollers, in the city and in the suburbs. I find the Joolz Aer the perfect size for city life and very robust.

I got the Joolz Aer (similar to Nuna TRVL) because of the one hand fold and how narrow it was. I’ve used it for 29 months and have had no problems. A compact stroller opens up more options because you can fit through narrow aisles so you can pop into any store no matter how small. I also liked it better for eating out because it can fold up compact at smaller restaurants.

I used it with the Nuna Pipa Lite car seat when she was an infant and it was great, not too tipsy at all, but I think that’s the lightest car seat on the market. When she was old enough to not need the car seat I found it fine too. Once you unzip the back part to allow for recline the strap lets you easily adjust the recline position without having to zip and unzip it - I discovered this after a few times unzipping it.

Have had the Joolz Aer for my almost 2 year old her whole life. I love it and it handles so well.
