Joolz - Geo3 Mono

Har en Joolz Geo3, mest pga höjdskillnaden mellan mig och min sambo. Upplever att den är bekväm för både långa och korta personer, plus liggdelen är relativt hög så ingen av oss bryter ryggen när bebis ska i. Handtaget går att dra ut väldigt långt så min sambo kan gå med den i optimal position (du vill ha typ 90⁰ vid armbågen), och väldigt lättstyrd. Nackdelen är att den är dyr, vi köpte den på rea för 12 000:- (liggdel + sittdel ingick då) men helt ärligt värt det då den inte aggreverar redan existerande ryggproblem.

Och den har stora punkfria däck, klarar viss terräng MEN inte som t.ex Thule som är aktivitetsvagn. Men promenader på landsvägar och byavägar, absolut inga problem, inte heller problem under vintern (fick ungen i december så fick pröva direkt vinterväglag).

Joolz Geo 3! Wir lieben ihn. Gekauft, weil der Korb 15kg aushält, da fährt unser Hund öfter mit. Große Pakete sind auch kein Problem. Sogar ein Handgepäckskoffer geht rein. Hatten damals explizit drauf geachtet, dass mehr als 13kg in den Korb gehen wegen des Hundes. Uppababy Vista hält 30lbs aus und von Nuna gibts noch einen mit einem großen Korb und viel Belastung. Modell hab ich leider vergessen. Mehr haben wir nicht gefunden. Die Sitze könnt ihr ja mal von der Größe vergleichen, da haben wir nicht drauf achten müssen.

We have the Joolz Aer+ and it’s amazing, we really like it. The only downside is that it’s on the smaller side for us (we’re both quite tall), so we have the Aer in the car (plus for travelling/flying, which we do a fair bit since my in-laws live abroad), but we use our regular stroller (Joolz Geo 3) for longer walks from home. But the Aer is really nice, lightweight and super easy to handle

First off: congratulations!! Agree with the other user to not get too much upfront. What works for me, might not work for you. That being said, these are my favorites for your wishlist: **Baby carrier** – We both love the Artipoppe. I got it secondhand on Vinted and was able to save quite a bit. I have the irrational fear that the knots of those cloth-carriers could untie, so this seemed foolproof. We also liked that you can very easily adjust it (good because we both used it and my husband has a very different build than I do). Will say that there are people that say a carrier is veryyyy personal, so I guess I was lucky that we liked the artipoppe. There are consults where you can try different options, would recommend to do that after the baby is here. **Automatic/music baby swings** \- we don't have this, we have a Baby Björn. The great thing about this one is that it folds flat completely, which is great for storage or when you want to bring it with you (it doubled as a high chair when we were visiting friends for example). When baby gets a bit bigger they're able to bounce themselves. **Baby bath tubs** \- we have a Bébé-Jou Sense, which we still use ('baby' boy is now 1,5 yo) and like, but it's not necessarily space-saving. There are foldable baths though. **Clothes** \- Doooooon't get too much. Our baby was estimated to be on the bigger side, but came out pretty average so we had to get some extra clothes in a size 50. However, it was a matter of weeks before he out-grew them and (online) shopping is pretty easy these days. Only thing I would recommend to get a decent amount of is onesies (search for rompertjes, never really sure if onesies is the correct term for them in English) and muslin cloths (get a MILLION and then 10 more of those). Brandwise: rompertjes always at Hema (good quality and decent prices), H&M has cute stuff for relatively low prices (but I've noticed the clothes don't hold up too well in the laundry), and I regularly shop at C&A and Prenatal too. Zeeman and Wibra have cute stuff and good basics for cheap prices as well. Brands like Feetje (brands you'll find at e.g. Babypark) are pricier, but hold up very well and are all over Vinted as well. Good to know: sizewise H&M fits really big, C&A and Prenatal really small. I've found Hema to be the pretty accurate. **Glass vs plastic bottles** \- We used plastic ones, from dr Browns (narrow bottleneck). Apparently the dummy from this brand best mimicks a nipple which makes it easier for baby's to accept, and it has an anti-colic vent (no idea wheter this actually worked, but I like to think so lol). I'm interested in the glass bottle too, but afraid that the bottle would be too heavy to hold for the baby (obviosly when they're a bit older, not as a newborn haha) Every baby is different though, so again: don't get 15 bottles before you know which ones work for you! **Bottle Sterilizer** \- this is a hill I will die on, I LOVED THIS! Yes I know you can just use a pot of boiling water, but I hated the process and the fact that our countertop was full of drying bottles and pump parts all the time. We also didn't want to put everything in the dishwasher (though no judgement if you do). We have the Philips Avent Sterilisator SCF293/00 (with drying function) and it is one of my favourite baby-related purchases. **Electric breast pump** \- I have a Medala Swing maxi and it's pretty nice, no complaints (I breastfed for a year, so pumped when I was at work or otherwise away from my baby regularly for about 9 months)! The handsfree one sounds great too, but wasn't in our budget. **Other:** the Stokke Tripp Trapp chair (first combined with the newborn nest and later the baby set), Joolz Geo 3 stroller (we're both tall and this one is very comforable) and later the Joolz Aer+ buggy ETA: sorry for the word vomit, but I'm very pasionate about my baby-related likes haha!

We're not entirely in the same situation, but I genuinely can't imagine not have a stroller. Babywearing is great and I did that a loooot, but it's also nice to not have your baby's (increasing) weight hanging off you. As far as I'm aware, you also indeed shouldn't keep your baby in a carrier for very long periods of time. We have had the Joolz Aer2 as our secondary stroller since my son was about 9mo. My inlaws live abroad, so we needed (wanted) something smaller than our regular Joolz Geo3 for flying and when we're there, and when we're not (air)travelling we leave it in the car. The Geo is stilled my preferred stroller for longer walks/days, partially also because both me and my husband are quite tall, but the Aer is otherwise amazing: highly recommend! ETA: the standard Aer2 isn't newborn compatible I think, but they sell bassinets seperately and I also saw they recently launched a newborn insert for the Aer.

I had a Joolz Geo and a Yoyo for years. Loved both. The build quality of the Joolz and the space in the basket were what I loved. That thing was my car for years (since we didn’t have one). The Yoyo was ideal for day trips taking public transport when the kid was a little older. But can confirm my kid slept like a rock in both and we used them happily for years. My son actually slept his very first night home from the hospital in the Joolz. He wouldn’t settle so I put him in the pram and pushed him around the house a bit to get him to sleep 🥰

Our stroller (Joolz geo) did cost at least 1400 plus all the accessories, BUT we’ve been using it for 4 years now straight and it’s still almost as new. Absolutely perfection. So yes, it’s an insane amount of money but sometimes with these things they are worth it.

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

2. I have a Joolz aer and I bought a Joolz Geo naively thinking I would use it for my second baby as a double stroller with my toddler. My toddler hates the Geo for some reason and I'm tired of fighting her so I never use it. I will be selling it.

We also have Joolz Aer+ but used it as our main pram - OP, carrycot is an essential if it’s your main pram. I reckon you could get that bit secondhand or even just borrow one of you know people with older kids. Transitioned my son to the buggy part at 5 months. You are going to use a pram almost daily, and up to age 4 Pram has held up great, 10 year transferable warranty too so I would suggest looking at second hand if you wanted to save money. I’ve recently bought the Joolz Geo as a second pram after moving to a bigger house. Will not fit in our car if there’s anything else in the boot but brilliant for a big shop and the countryside - we went to a festival with it this weekend

Whatever you get, I would highly recommend buying second hand! We got a joolz geo second hand as it was what I would have bought new, baby would last 15/20 minutes in it! I was given a really old baby jogger and baby LOVES it! Now investing in a new baby jogger because the old one is falling apart! I’m glad I didn’t splurge on the original one I wanted.

I ended up ordering the Joolz stroller + bassinet combo in the Amazon sales! gonna try it out and return if not sturdy enough. I can let you know!

ok I'm back!! trying it out n my neighborhood really helped me decide its not the right choice for me! I went on a 30 minute walk on sidewalks with some hills. because the strroller is so light, it puts more effort on you to keep it steady and that got tiring QUICKLY and i usually do that walk with no problem. becaues at every driveway on the sidewalk it wants to roll towards the street. also if i crossed the street, the wheels would have trouble getting up the driveway ramps and i'd have to tilt it. also do you ever like lean elbows on a grocery cart to text on your phone? if i tried that on the Joolz because its so light it would buckle. and the underneath storage is very very minimal. it wouldnt fit a diaper bag, maybe just a big handbag. and because the stroller is so light you wouldnt be able to hang a diaper bag from the handle. that being said it definitely was easy to fold, the bassinet with it was cute and the forest green color was gorgeous. i think it would be fine if youre just going to the mall/grocery/appointments, but any kind of outside walking to go to the park or the beach would be undoable with this long term i think
