Joolz - Day+

So I have an old version of Joolz Day and we carry him.in that detachable cot (bassinet?) all the time when at my MIL. Baby is 9w now and still sleeps well when being carried up the stairs. It has a detachable handle but it feels quite secure. I planned to babywear but I find it too much of a nuisance to have a heavy baby at the front and a heavy rucksack at the back with his milk chill bottle, milk, bottle warmer, nappies, change of clothes and many other things you need when you have a baby. It gets really heavy and I get super tired of walk more than 20 minutes with him - he's 6kg and I feel it. I live in London and I swore I'd baby wear him everywhere. Well, he's only being worn when I'm popping to the corner shop, GP or hospital appointment.

So many options, I’ll tell you what worked for us but there will be so many others. We had a used Joolz Day or Geo for our first child, sold it and when we had our second child (unexpectedly), we bought new Joolz Geo. What we liked was how study it was but you could still dissemble it to go into a small car’s trunk. It had the baby thing to lay in and the upright seat that can be tilted and a load of addons available. BTW these days (kids are 3 and 7), we switched to cargo bike (R+M Load 75) and Ulfbo for trips to parks or Baltic Sea. Life after stroller (can be) expensive but is sooo much fun! Enjoy Berlin

Yep, I agree! I think the biggest difference is the bassinet option for Joolz. I was dead set on getting something that was newborn compatible and didnt \*require\* a bassinet (which Joolz is fwiw), but then when trying them out realized that in practicality there was no way I would feel comfortable putting my newborn in the low forward facing reclined seat. Even though its use will ultimately be limited to a few months, I am glad we went with the bassinet. Another benefit of a bassinet is you don't need to deal with buckling them in and out constantly or worry about blankets/pacifiers/etc falling off... been pretty handy so far.

Joolz aer by far. You’ll see it everywhere, it’s always the most popular on such threads. We have the + and they’ve just brought out the 2 so you can probably get lower models for cheaper now. It was our main buggy for a good while too. I’m mad we didn’t get it sooner!

This! There is no meaningful difference between the Aer and + and whatever this years model is called. Also get them on a balance bike. Absolute game changer in terms of self propelling at speed. If you can find one with brakes and solid wheels that will last you until they are ready for pedals. (Can be as early as 2.5) you’ll need to get them going quite soon as teaching it when it’s cold and wet isn’t particularly fun.

Por pontos: **-- Ovo --** Apesar do que se ouve, não é algo obrigatório para sair da maternidade. Podes perfeitamente comprar uma cadeira auto 0+ (que não tem alça como o ovo e portanto não podes levar para dentro do hospital) e as enfermeiras ou quem quer que seja tem que te acompanhar ao carro e garantir que o bebe está bem colocado. Posto isto, caso queiras poupar dinheiro, compra uma cadeira auto 0+, sabendo que será algo duradouro mas muito pouco versátil, leia-se, apenas será exclusivamente uma cadeira auto. Tem também noção que os ovos são por normal muito mais seguros que as cadeiras 0+. Tem também noção que se quiseres ir dar um passeio, o Ovo tipicamente da para por no carrinho e as cadeiras 0+ não. Claro que para isso podes usar alcofa, mas nesse contexto tenho a minha opinião na secção da alcofa **-- Carrinho --** Define muito bem os teus principais critérios e não descures o espaço na bagageira do teu carro/elevador. Caso vas andar muito em terrenos acidentados (ou até na calçada portuguesa mais irregular) aconselho um carro com rodas maiores, mas que serão mais dificeis de guardar no porta-bagagens e/ou até meter no elevador. Eu pessoalmente queria algo mais compacto e sem duvida para os preços que pediam o joolz está a anos luz de todos as outras marcas que por vezes sentia que pegaram numa tenda de campismo, meteram umas rodas e cobravam 400€ por aquilo. Nota que só vais usar o carrinho sem ovo/alcofa quando a bebe tiver para ai 1 ano. **-- Alcofa --** na minha opinião um desperdicio de dinheiro. Será usável nos primeiros 6 meses se tiveres sorte (provavelmente menos) e depois não é pratico. É enorme e dificil de guardar e diria que 80% das vezes ou tens a bebe a dormir no carro ou no carrinho e a ultima coisa que vais querer é pegar nela e poder acordá-la. Eu pessoalmente tive uma alcofa que me emprestaram e foi super util.....mas para levar para casa de amigos/familiares para a bebe dormir no seu cantinho. nunca a usei para passear Uma alternativa comum é comprar um marsupio (ve na vinted que ha la "novos" a metade do preço) **-- Isofix --** Vale todo o santo dinheiro. A possibilidade de rodar para poder tirar e por o bebe é obrigatório na minha opinião. Apesar de ter o mesmo nível de segurança (segundo a ADAC até é menos seguro que colocar com o cinto, mas na minha opinião já estamos a separar cabelos). Desculpa o texto gigante, tentei ser sucinto, espero que ajude :) PS: recomendo lojas como o el cort ingles, peanut e bona bebe na zona de lisboa. e Aproveita as feiras do bebe

Als je groter ben dan de gemiddelde mens, zoals de gemiddelde Nederlander, kan ik je Joolz aanraden. Veel plezier gehad met ons inmiddels 6-jarige.

I’ve literally never seen them there and I spent many hours there trying to convince myself I needed and could afford a Bugaboo. (Surprise to no one, I didn’t and I couldn’t! Lol) Nuna, Uppababy, Silver Cross, Thule, Doona, Joolz, Cybex, sure. Chicco? Never. Maybe this is a new development? 🤷🏻‍♀️

UPDATE: moved comment to where it belonged 🤦🏻‍♀️ sorry, OP! You’re providing valuable information and I wasn’t negating you at all! Original comment kept below, but meant as a reply to a different comment. ————— I’ve literally never seen them there and I spent many hours there trying to convince myself I needed and could afford a Bugaboo.

Never heard of Doona, but what we do is put car seat on the frame of stroller with help of adapters. We have stroller and seat from same company, not sure it's necessary (Joolz in our case)  

I have it and I have another travel stroller. It’s mostly good with good wheels but I don’t think it lies down flat enough like the other I have ( silvercross jet ) also the basket is def big enough but I find the seat just to be too short and not long enough.
