Joie - pact™ pro

I have the ginger xl and rue!! Love them! I also bought the 360 car seat for when he is older! Just as stylish as the nuna but without the price tag

We use a Joie pact pro, it goes up to 22kg I think. Easy to find for £150 but if you look around or add a coupon code you can get it for £110-120. It might be on marketplace for less around you. It's compact when folded and lightweight. Also, the 15kg limit on your current pushchair is not that strict. I would use it until 17-18kg without hesitation but that's personal choice.

We have the Joie Pact Pro 2 and it does recline fully, could be another option maybe?

I just got the joie hazel and rue and really love it. I see a lot of similarities between the joie stroller and Nina stroller.

This was me when I was pregnant. I went with Joie ginger and rue travel system and love mine. The only other one I might have gone with is graco. Don’t fall for the nuna trends. And definitely not the Doona. I have friends who have the doona and it’s such a crappy little thing lol

I have the Nuna pipa and trvl lx and tried to forgo the bassinet. It was such a pain to strap baby into the car seat each time and she hated it. Baby wearing also took a toll on my back and your arm range is limited. I ended up caving and bought a (cheaper) stroller the Joie to use the bassinet function for walks. Huge storage under that makes it perfect for going grocery shopping. No regrets!

When I first moved here I thought it was silly seeing so many Cadillac sized strollers with big wheels- seems contradictory. But then I realized its the cobbles stones, albeit not so wide spread in Berlin, I’ve now traveled with a stroller to Copenhagen, Prague and Lisbon and the bigger the wheels the better really or else they get stuck between stones. Thats why in Berlin and CPH buggaboos are so popular. Also, easywalkers, joolz and joie.

If you drive a smaller car, make sure the stroller is gonna fit in the trunk. We have to take the wheels off our stroller when we take my husband’s Golf. Luckily, the Joie stroller we have is meant for that but still.

I have a Joie too and love it!

As a new parent, buying and choosing stroller felt like a total new world with so many choices and things to consider. To be frank, it was overwhelming when starting out. We quickly realized, we wanted lightweight and easy to use ones as we would travel quite a bit. I would suggest: 1. Go to a shop like Baby Kingdom where they will explain different type of strollers. 2. Choose the stroller type you want and then look for sale or discounts over next few months. 3. We finalized Hamilton Z1/R1 something like that and it was 450, but we got a sale on Mothercare and got it for around 320. 4. As others said, carousell can be a good option and 2 years later after quite heavy use of Hamilton stroller we bought a like new Joie on carousell. For new born, I think it is important to ensure the stroller has at least 170 degree recline if not 180. We didn’t buy car seat or baby seat attachment for our stroller.
