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.

We bought the Reds Baby Skip 2 in 2024 for our at the time 6 month old. I’m not exaggerating when I say that pram changed my life. It’s lightweight, easy to use, easy to clean. Love it!

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.

The Redsbaby Skip2 is not a one hand fold either. It has a very small basket but I fit a surprising amount of small things (water bottles, lunchboxes, light jackets) in it when travelling. It is lightweight and very compact when packed. I use it for travel (fits in the overhead on a plane and has a travel bag) and in my small second car, with our full size pram being in the main car.

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 have the redsbaby skip3 if you have any questions! (It ticks all your boxes).I haven't had it long but I'm using it as a everyday pram and haven't used for travel yet but I've used it alot already , previously I had the 1st model skip for my last trip. I'm happy with it for the price point it's amazing, I think it's the best travel pram for its price range. I couldnt consider the aer, yoyo, butterfly etc.. because out of my budget but i couldnt imagine spending more for them over the skip3 anyway. I always see yoyos out and about n im sussing them out but I don't get the hype but maybe I'm missing something!

like: - son is comfy in it for long periods of time - good coverage on canopy - bump bar extra was a good buy, son always holds onto it - easy newborn compatibility for when i have a second - easy one hand fold - basket holds alot for travel pram standards (done my produce market shop and supermarket top up with it) - overall so many new features from the old model , its hard to wrong and they sorta just added all the features it needed dislike - no peekaboo window on canopy (the only feature I think they missed) - back of basket is quite floppy if stuff leaning onto it - I don't like the carry strap, it's kinda elastically so I find it harder to pick up and carry on my shoulder (compared with the 1st skip just had a normal tight strap) maybe a me problem? Overall minor issues, and weren't deal breakers other thoughts - worth noting with the belly bar attachment, it requires 2 hands to fold down before folding the whole pram, so it no longer a 1 handed fold logically. however I do manage to do it holding my son awkwardly n it is optional accessory.. - it does have a great recline I just can't say much because my son doesn't use that feature (doesn't sleep in prams) haha Will edit if I think of something else..

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

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.

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.
