Redsbaby - SKIP² Stroller

Redsbaby skip! They’ve just released a new model and if it was in the budget I would upgrade from the skip2 to the skip3 in a heartbeat! Compact, light, fits overhead (have flown with it many times with virgin and never been denied). Lays flat for infants too.

Just bought the Redsbaby skip! Can't wait to use it. Felt sturdier than the buggagoo and joelaer.

I also liked the fact that the rear wheels are wider than the front wheels in skip2, so felt more sturdy and less prone to tip. Not sure why bugaboo butterfly, joolz and yoyo all have narrow rear wheels.

I rate the Skip! I used it recently with my little one who was 4 months old at the time, absolutely no complaints. I love how compact it folds up, had no issues taking it as carry-on, and bub had a number of solid naps in there which made it all worth it!

Big fan of the Redsbaby Skip2 over here! Used it for the first time with my 4 month old last week and it was perfect! Only annoying thing is that the pram itself is under 7kg but when in the bag it’s slightly over. Luckily Jetstar didn’t care as long as mine and my husband’s carryon luggage total didn’t exceed 14kg all together.

I love the Redsbaby Skip2, so convenient!

Most travel prams do not fit the dimensions specified by the airline. I have found you have to bluff and tell them it "definitely fits" in overhead or tell them it's a yoyo brand. I've got a redsbaby skipp2 which gets on with varying success depending on how successful you are at convincing the staff lol.

I’ve done international travel with the Skip2 and it was easy to use. The Skip3 has a bigger basket and better fold function and I’m considering upgrading for the next overseas trip but that’ll likely be the last time I need it, so I probably won’t.

Get the Skip3. The basket is very small on the Skip2.

We just did 3 weeks in the UK with the skip2. In cities that were definitely not pram friendly (soooo many stairs), the pram held up so well. Very light even with bub in it so we could carry him up and down stairs easily. It does take a few steps to fold up but it's compact and once you get the hang of it it's quite easy. The pram also held up really well on all the cobblestone paths so it's very durable. I loved that bub can practically lay flat in it which was perfect for pram naps out and about. And the hood folds down so low which was great for wind protection.

I've got one. It's a good little, lightweight pram that I've had for about a year and it's our only pram. I got it over other ones because it's for newborn up which means the seat can go relatively flat but also relatively straight upright. It's also meant to be good for taller children. My 90th percentile 13 month old is very happy in it. Plus the price point worked well for us and I knew my baby would outgrow a pram bassinet quickly being 90th percentile (we got it when he was 4 weeks old). Some cons though - not one handed fold/unfold like others. You have to pull this awkwardly placed red lever to unfold it fully. And to fold it you need to pull both left and right sides of the handlebars. - pram basket is quite small, hard to fit a nappy bag in but we use a caddy so it's fine. - no window to look through the hood so I have to pull it back to see what bub is doing - handle bars aren't height adjustable but to be fair, I dont think most travel prams can. And it is on the taller side compared to other travel prams. - accessories can sometimes be out of stock for months. I bought my pram in Feb but had to wait until May to get the foot muff and rain cover. - seat is a pain to adjust as it uses a toggle that you have to pull. But again, I think a lot of prams use a similar system.

I had a redsbaby pram that was able to be converted into a double but it was so heavy to me (even though it was lighter than the vista) and clunky. I ended up selling it on marketplace and buying a redsbaby skip2 which is their travel pram and haven’t looked back. If I had to do it again, I’d go straight to the skip. Even if I had another baby soon (my first is 17 months) I wouldn’t upgrade to a double pram, they’re so big and clunky to haul around

Redsbaby Skip! The latest version is the skip3 and sooo many new features! I have a skip2 and love it

We have the Redsbaby Skip2 and have used it from 6 months (bub now almost 2). We have taken it overseas and on domestic Virgin Australia, Jetstar and QANTAS flights without issue. We like the UV shade, it’s easy to clean, does a full recline. Possible cons? Redsbaby doesn’t have a belly bar and the storage basket is a little small (it’s a travel pram so a given but it is smaller than some of its competitors). We still squash our nappy bag in there okay and add another Velcro storage sack to the back if we need more storage. Another option to look at (it came out after we needed a travel pram) is the Milly and Coup Pixi. They have been to only parent facing newborn travel pram I have seen. But it also converts to world facing. https://millyandcoup.com/products/pixi-travel-stroller?variant=39956306722865&country=AU¤cy=AUD&utm_medium=product_sync&utm_source=google&utm_content=sag_organic&utm_campaign=sag_organic&gad_source=1&gclid=Cj0KCQiA0MG5BhD1ARIsAEcZtwRYmS-hLgzST8S2M7KcBBMxaII60WRyCQJ_ExN1qZliG-1lMWx4kscaAnjwEALw_wcB

I have the Skip2 and will look to upgrade to the Skip3 later in the year. I will preface that we do a lot of air travel so the weight of the pram is important to us. I can see, for example, that the Skip3 is a full 500g lighter than the Butterfly - that would be a big plus for us. It’s already hard enough to keep within the free carryon weight limits! I’ve had no issues with the quality of the pram. The fabric washes well and spot cleans easily (we have the green). The frame build has been fine - I’ve never been concerned about that if I’m honest. It handles well over footpaths and uneven ground (though it wouldn’t do well on gravel/grass/off road surfaces). It maneuvers very well in comparison to our standard sized pram (we can weave in and out of crowds). We use it for day trips into the city, zoo, weekends away and I’ve been really happy! Our bub is average height but he still sleeps well in it. If the footrest isn’t down then his legs do hang over the edge when sitting fully upright but that doesn’t bother me given we don’t keep his feet raised. Not sure how helpful that is but we love it enough to keep it and upgrade!

Yeh, I had to travel like 3 weeks before the skip3 came out so bought the Joolz Aer but if I was buying today I would likely get the skip3. Value seems a lot better than the other leading ones! OP didn’t mention the age of their child because this would influence me. Some older kids want to be pretty upright which the skip3 and Jools Aer are good for. Some may be happier being on a slight recline or are younger and need lots of recline which the skip2 has without the need to purchase the bassinet, unlike the joolz and the skip3.

Redsbaby skip 2, recently took it away on Qantas - super easy to use and folded nicely (needs to go in a bag, but it comes with). Decent price and good resale as the second hand page is always looking for them and they go for about $100 or so less.

We have a skip 2- absolutely love it and rather use it than my big bulky pram. Taken it on four flights and it fits really well overhead. I see the new one is a one hand fold which is great. I find the recline on it much better than my normal pram as it lies flat, unlike normal pram that is a bucket type seat. Resale wise, everyone on the buy swap sell pages are always after a skip and hold their value pretty well.

I bought the skip 2 at Black Friday last year. Sold it when the skip 3 got announced cause the improvements are so good! Can’t wait. The nuvo is nice and all but I’m keen for a more compact pram.

We also have a Skip 2 and love it! The recline was what won me over, as both the Butterfly and Joolz Aer+ were much more limited in that respect. Was super easy to use at the airport, fold and store in the overhead. And the carry strap is surprisingly comfy and well-balanced.

Definitely have a look secondhand. We have a Redsbaby Skip2 which we love. Fits into the overhead compartment. As the new model (Skip3) has just been released you might have luck finding the previous ones in your price range!

Skip2 owner here and love it! I was tossing up between that, the Aer and Butterfly, but neither of those recline as much as the Skip. I’m not sure about the Yoyo, but that was a bit outside of my budget at the time. Our LO was 5 months when we needed it, so having something that could lie as flat as possible was my preference. Sadly it’s only the overseas model of the Aer that lies flat :( Highly recommend.

We have the skip2 and I’m sad we don’t get the nifty skip3 features! We do love the skip2 though. We’ve taken it domestic and international with no issues.

We have the skip2. It has a really good hood, reclines really far back and has a weight rating (20kg for the seat). We use it when we travel and sometimes I do wish it was alittle less bulky when folded up but in terms of actual use I think the trade off is worth it. I know people who have the travel strollers which fold down really small but there is not enough shade and they normally top out at 15kg which would put my three year old as too heavy already.

We have the Skip (and also Redsbaby Jive) and overall very happy with it. We've taken it on planes and it fits in the overhead compartment. It lives in my car and we use it most days. Only downside is the pram basket isn't huge, but we can still fit a small bag under there.

We have a Redsbaby Skip and love it. It lives in my car, and is very easy to flick open when I'm out at the shops. I've also taken it on Qantas domestically and it fits in the overhead compartment on the plane. It also feels pretty sturdy too- I tested out the Baby Jogger but it felt kind of flimsy.

We have the Skip 2 as well...the Skip3 looks even better haha but the one we have serves us fine. We've taken it interstate in the overhead locker multiple times with no issues. It currently lives in my car as an everyday pram.

I have the redsbaby skip, and we've travelled with it domestically. It fits in the overhead cabin perfectly well, you just have to put it in the bag (which is provided with the pram).

We got the Redsbaby Jive (nuvo hadn't come out when we bought our pram) because we wanted the option of adding a second seat if needed. I'm now pregnant with our second so I'm glad we went with our gut. The uppababy vista wouldn't fit in the boot of my hatchback lol. We also got the Skip 2 which lives in my car. We love it, and have taken it on several flights.

We have the redsbaby skip and we love it! It folds up so small and is really easy to manage. My daughter is almost 3 and 90ish cm/ 13kg and she still fits it perfectly. Would 100% recommend

Redsbaby. Bulletproof/Baby grime proof.

We’ve got the skip and it’s great

I second the Redsbaby skip. We are currently in the UK and we've dragged it everywhere, through mud and rain and all. It's been amazing.

Skip is great, especially with the near full recline. We started using with our bub at 4 months. It now lives in the car and is so useful for appointments/shopping etc. Very easy to use one handed, and depending on where you live, is great that it’s been designed with Australian climate in mind (UPF50 mesh that allows airflow etc)
