Traveler

Do you need a stroller? Have you thought about baby wearing? Does your baby like the stroller now? My baby hated the stroller until she could sit up and baby wearing was so much easier. Edit to add that I saw someone else mention the zoe traveler, which I have as our second stroller and really like. I didn't realize it was recommended for 3+ months. I'm guessing you are supposed to use it with the seat all the way reclined at 3 months?

I have the bumbleride indie and we love it! We got it for a deal from rebel or goodbuy gear because it was new but slightly scratched. I live in an area where I can walk to the library, grocery store etc from our house. So we love just strolling out the door with the indie. We also have really bumpy sidewalks around so we needed the air tires and I do some very light jogging with it as well. The cork handlebar is awesome. It has an adapter for a variety of car seats but we never ended up using that because my baby hated the stroller until she was almost 6 months and we just did baby wearing on our walks. Also, the indie and I think the era recline flat so they are safe for less than 6 month olds without any adapter. We ended up with the Chicco keyfit 35 cleartex car seat because I just couldn't justify paying for the fancy Nuna ones even if they are lighter. And it's fine! However the indie is huge and heavy! We ended up getting a small zoe travel stroller (they have one made with recycled fabric!) as well because if we are traveling anywhere the indie takes up a ton of space. We got our zoe from one of those returned/open box websites as well and it was a great deal. I personally really like having two options, one big full size and one super packable travel stroller, but I know that isn't for everyone. I do highly recommend searching all the open box type websites for deals, or of course looking for used strollers if you live in a city or non-rural area. The "greenest" thing is not buying new in my opinion (and it saves $$)

Yes! I do a lot of walking on sidewalks paved with historic brick and they a bumpy! The bumble ride is amazing, and the company is exactly what I want to support. We also have a zoe for travel or small spaces and that is great as well.

I started my stroller journey by buying a highly recommended stroller and hating it... and ended up with multiple ones, which turned into testing over 100 models and reviewing them :) That said: NOT LOVING: Uppababy Vista - rides smooth, but too big and bulky Mockingbird - awful, scary with recalls, doesn't drive smoothly as all Cybex Orfeo - too flimsy Cybex Coya - where do I even begin with this bad fold GB Pockit - not worth your fingers Ergobaby Metro - too heavy for a travel stroller and unfold feels meh SummerInfant 3d quickclose - too good to be true, super flimsy Nuna TRVL - too short seat, too big to take into the cabin and too expensive for what it is Uppababy Minu - too big for a travel stroller model, weird bumper bar and flimsy canopy LOVING: Cybex Priam - amazing, especially the e-version. If I were to get a one full-size stroller this would be my top choice Stokke Yoyo3 - most well-known and guaranteed on board Joolz Aer - smooth ride, great accessories Joolz Hub2 - solid mid-size option Cybex Gazelle - good for 2 under 2 Bombi - good mid-size option Bugaboo Butterfly 2 - didn't like the first version, but these upgrades made it better Mamazing - good budget option Zoe Traveler - amazing canopy and solid stroller Inglesina Quid - cute solid compact stroller

We borrowed the Zoe traveler from a friend of ours, main reason it being a 60lbs max weight bearing capacity in case my bigger twin (40lb at the moment) wants to hop in when tired. I think it fits in an overhead but don’t take my word for it as we gate checked it so I’m not 100% sure. In a group I’m in a lot also liked the Bugaboo Butterly or the Jools Aer.

Honestly if you’re gonna want to do some running, a jogging stroller is gonna be your best option mainly because of the tires and suspension. Lightweight stroller; we like the Zoe but the Ergobaby Metro is something I currently have my eyes on. Joovy was the lightest in terms of jogging stroller compared to a Bob or Thule and also on the lower under $300 option. Definitely suggest checking marketplace! Spring is here as so a lot of people in my area are selling jogging strollers for cheap, I’ve missed out on a few $100 Bob and Thule strollers which I’ve been wanting since we got rid of our full sized stroller. And coming from mom with 3 under 5, two being twins we honestly have/had a small selection of strollers and wagons for different occasions lol. Full sized tandem mockingbird style double/triple stroller for everyday use, a Wonderfold wagon for big day trips like zoo and a Uppababy Minu to keep in the car for just in case. We sold our full sized stroller last year, so we currently have the Minu and wagon but I’m thinking of getting rid of the Minu (we got it for free in my local free group) to find a secondhand jogging stroller just because my older two still like to jump in a stroller from time to time and I want the sturdiness of the wheels from the jogging stroller.

Definitely look and shop around on marketplace for a used Zoe, Joolz Aer, Nuna or a Yoyo (I think that’s the brand or model name of stroller). All are average $300+ brand new so second hand if your best option especially since it’s going to be used briefly whenever you travel. We have an older Nuna travel stroller I got for free from a neighbor but it does its job when we’re traveling since I’m not too worried about it getting broken. Definitely in the long run I’m wanting to invest in a newer travel stroller since we’re getting ready for international travel coming up.

Thank you! Hi! I just got the Zoe Traveler. I thought I was going to love it but I don’t. The basket is hard to access, I’m having lots of trouble with the opening mechanism, baby slides in the seat, and when baby isn’t in it the stroller tips backwards every few seconds. I do like the canopy tho lol. I’m worried if Bombi will have same issues?

We have the Zoe Traveler and its amazing. It’s as sturdy as normal everyday stroller but folds up to the size of a carry on bag and weighs like 11 lbs. We take it on every trip. It went under the bed with our four other suitcases no problem. I already knew we liked the brand because we have the double, but this tops it just for convenience and size.

That will be a nightmare. I would see about getting a Zoe traveler; it’s so lightweight and folds up small but is an amazingly sturdy-we used it on a 5 night on the Destiny and it was perfect.

Zoe Traveler or Tour! We have a v1 Tour and it fit great on the ship. The Traveler is a little more compact. Both are good prices for what you get.

Zoe Traveler is slept on. It’s just not a super popular brand (at least where I live in the US) but it’s my everyday as well as travel stroller.

Yes! It has a little slider you can adjust on the back of the seat for laying down vs upright. My 9 mo old loves naps in there, too
