Redsbaby - SKIP Stroller Series

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.

I took the skip3 overseas recently and honestly can’t fault it. It went on 6 different planes, was gate checked for some and carried on for others. The hood also folds down very far for when Bub is napping. Make sure you get the bar accessory. Very helpful for feeling more secure with younger Bub in the pram + it’s somewhere to loop a fan if you’re going somewhere warm (baby was also 6 months when we went on holidays). Let me know if you have any questions!

The seat sits all the way up. There’s a strap in the back that you pull to tighten to sit up and can slowly release to recline to whatever angle you want. Very simple and very easy system!

Sorry I know it’s been a while but we’ve been using it for a couple of months now. The verdict from us is that we really like it. Ultimately, most of these compact prams really are quite similar so I don’t think you can go wrong w most of them. That said, I like the size of the basket under the skip3, I find the trigger for the fold one of the easiest out of the travel prams we tried, and the material is really easy to clean/doesn’t seem like it will pill. The canopy is also fantastic for coverage and very satisfying in how it pops out. Most importantly, my son (4mo) is very comfortable in this pram. We have also used the Cybex Gazelle S and the Bugaboo Bee 6 for lengthy periods and his favourite is absolutely the Skip (he will sit in it happily for up to 1.5 hours where the others we are lucky to get 30 minutes). The downsides to this pram as an every day pram is that because it is so light you can’t really hook too much onto the handlebar without it tipping. When we use it, we can only just fit our (admittedly, large) nappy bag in the basket (or we just wear it as a backpack). This downside is presumably true for any of these travel prams, though. We would probably have bought the bassinet attachment if he was an infant just so that we can see him in the early months also. Otherwise, definitely recommend!

The skip3 is one handed fold though. I got one for $400 on sale the other week from their website. It’s pretty good. Small basket etc but totally doable. I think I’ll start using as the main pram for my 11 month old now.

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

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

Yes. Love it.! Love everything about it. We bought out skip 2 brand new whole set and then sold it for a decent price and then put the money into skip 3. We love the... The one hand fold. The bigger basket ( it is substantially bigger than the skip 2) The bumper bar ( my little one loves putting his leg on it like he is some kindda big thug) lol. The safety seatbelts it is super sturdy and thick. The suspension wheels. ( If U check out the butterfly and joolz aer the wheels are both small all 4 of them) The hood. If u look on the second hand like fb marketplace so many people are selling their butterly and joolz aer... I feel like everyone wants the skip 3. Lol. Oh and the price point. Can't complain at all. And ohhhh you can buy the newborn bassinet that you can use on the skip 3... And you can fold the skip 3 with the baseinet in it... The only thinggg is you can't attach the buggy board on the skip 3 given how compact and light it is.. but that's ok. If we need to attach a buggy board we rather go to our main strollers jive 5 which we absolutely love as well.

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.

Love my SKIP 3. No complaints at all. Canopy is great. Has a foot rest. A handle bar. One hand fold. The buckles are sturdy. The rear wheels are bigger compared to the butterfly and Joel's Aer ( if I'm not wrong). ..the onlyyyy thing you can't do with the skip 3 is you can't attach a buggy board on it.).

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!

I love the Redsbaby Skip2, so convenient!

We got the skip 3 recently and am loving it so far. Had the yoyo 2 previously that I got second hand off fb marketplace and so many little things annoyed me so I wanted to replace it. Also liked the Joolz aer bt the price was a bit steep and skip was just a bit cheaper. Bugaboo looks good too (sister has it) but it didn’t have a bassinet option that I wanted in case for bubs coming in November.

We got a single to double (Cybex gazelle) and like it as a single. Our second is due in November so yet to know what it’s like as a double. But honestly if I was to do it all over again, I would get a travel pram that comes with a bassinet option (Redsbaby Skip 3, Yoyo or Joolz Aer+) and then use that as the primary pram. It’s small compact, you won’t need to buy another thing if you travel and it’s so easy to put in and out of car etc. If you then become pregnant with a second and realise you’ll benefit from a double pram- then get the big double pram. The reality is you never know when you might fall pregnant with a second. And so you don’t know what the age gap might be. You might even be able to just use a single pram + toddler board if it’s a large enough age gap. For reference, we got the skip 3 and it’s great. We had the yoyo - don’t love it. The Joolz aer looks really good and I sort of wish I got that when i was picking between Joolz and yoyo. But skip 3 is new and more reasonable price than Joolz.

Redsbaby. Bulletproof/Baby grime proof.

Hey, glad to find you asked the question - we have been tossing up between butterfly and skip3 also. We have ordered the skip 3 after demo day but not 100% sure it will arrive before our trip - we are considering butterfly on lay-by as a backup. Worth skip 3 if you have time as can do 30 day indoor trial and return if you don't like it. The skip 3 edged on the butterfly bc 1. better sunshade protection (I think one of the Australian designed aspects that is important) 2. cheaper 3. lie flat seat 4. sub 7kg - can take on plane. We paid extra around $30 for bumper bar and $25 for express shipping (10$ more than standard) and got free rain cover and sunshade extension. Butterfly - slightly easier 1 handed fold down - but both equally easy to pull up. Also slightly better manoeuvrability and quality of fabric. We did note the one in store had quite pulled fabric as you mentioned but I assumed it had been used and tested A LOT. Butterfly also has a slightly wider seat (don't think necessarily than much longer although unable to do side by side comparison). Sadly the memo used to stock both pram brands but no longer do reds baby. I think reds baby keep their prices lower by not succumbing to price gouging by the likes of baby bunting etc just MHO. Have found deals to get Butterly at similar price to reds baby and if it wasn't for the weight butterfly might win. Had a quick look at other well rated ones - Joolz has a short seat and no foot rest and small basket and city jogger doesn't have as good suspension so probably fine in airport but not on bumpy European streets for example. Yoyo also quite a bumpy experience have heard.

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.

We bought the Redsbaby Skip 3 a couple of months ago - we used it for a month in New York and Hawaii with our 7 month old - I was super impressed and can see it getting a lot of use in our family. We bought it predominantly to use as a travel pram but came back and I went to use our Vista V3 and man, the Vista feels like a boat now! The Skip had everything we wanted, we could fit our nappy bag and carrier and some smaller items in the basket, it was a dream to fold and collapse one handed, light and manoeuvrable and well built, highly recommend!

Went to the RedsBaby demo today in Parra and the Skip looks so good. Super compact when folded but very solid and functional upright. Give it another look for sure!

I had the Joolz Aer and just upgraded to the redsbaby skip 3. So glad I did, the basket size is way better, my son sits so much more upright, The canopy protects him more and the recline is better than the Joolz. Highly recommend

Redsbaby by far. I had the Joolz Aer and I upgraded to the redsbaby. The recline, the upright seat, the basket, the sun cover. I find them all far better than the Joolz!

I will say I feel like the Joolz was slimmer when folded but still would go for the redsbaby

Sounds like you're looking for a travel pram - if so then you should be thinking Bugaboo Butterfly, Uppababy Minu(V3 is a one handed fold), Skip 3 (v2 is not one handed fold, but v3 is). (Caveat: I haven't had any experience with the nuna travel or pixie). One level up from travel pram for Redsbaby is the Aeron (so, not as compact as the travel prams, but still quite compact compared to the prams out there). Difference is that the pram seat is reversible - but you probably dont need that since your child is a 11 month old. Bugaboo dragonfly is a one handed fold and even though reviews say it is "compact" - it is in no way as compact as the travel prams.

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 love my Skip. Switched to it when my main pram was too bulky, but my kid wouldn't walk reliably. He still fits in it at 5yo, and it's still getting plenty of use these days helping me bring loads of heavy stuff in from the car 🤣

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'm happy with the skip 3 as my everyday pram (had same kinda requirements as you) be able to carry up and down apartment stairs while carrying my toddler, could use for travel aswell, something lightweight n easy to push due to medical condition, and big enough basket to get essentials at the supermarket and it ticks all the boxes

We’ve got the skip and it’s great

We’re planning on getting the skip3 (as our everyday stroller). It has a bassinet if you choose to purchase it, which is great for the bub before they’re able to sit up and etc.

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.

To me the skip3 fold was as easy as the joolz aer +. I bought the joolz when I did as i ended up needing one with only like a days notice for travel, but if I had no rush I would have chosen the skip3

Just keep in mind, Redsbaby skip has very long waiting time now. I ordered Redsbaby skip 3 on the 23rd of June and still hasn't arrived. I tried contacting them to get an ETA but no response and got an auto reply saying they are experiencing high volume of enquiries and will get back as soon as possible.

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 ordered my skip3 on June 30th. Contacted them yesterday as I hadn’t received a type of shipping notification and they said because I ordered a drink holder that my shipment wasn’t being sent until the 24th July. So that the entire order could be sent altogether (makes sense). Without me even asking customer service responded saying they would split my order at no extra shipping cost and so now the skip3 and bumper bar will arrive 15th July and drink holder will be shipped 24th July.

I also chose the IVY color,

I use the redsbaby skip3 as my everyday pram and it’s fantastic! So easy to manoeuvre, doesn’t take up the whole aisle in smaller shops, and is light enough to single handedly get in and out of the car. Highly recommend having a travel pram as your primary pram!

Seconding the Skip3, we have it as our everyday pram and its fantastic!

I love our redsbaby skip3, and our friends love their skip2 - lightweight and one handed fold!

I did some mad research comparing skip3, butterfly, yoyo and lucci and ended up with a skip3 like 2 weeks ago! I'm overall happy with my skip3 and my 3 month old has already slept in it once or twice. I got a bumper bar with mine and I freeze everytime to remember I gotta use 2 hands to fold it then I can fold the actual thing after. The bar has some cheap plastic on the sides where you detach and fold but everything else is fine to me. I'm petite and found it heavy as hell carrying with the strap on the shoulder but with 2 hands it was fine but. Easy to push around while carrying the baby with the other arm I also got a wonderland4children pram liner and it fits perfectly well also :) basket on the skip is still small to me since I have an Uppababy v3 but it's been great for a quick short trip to the shops and easy to fold/carry into the car Butterfly 2 pram is actually out in the US atm and the seat can go flat but it's not released in Australia yet. I didn't get the butterfly cause I've seen the fabric pills Lucci was nice but wasn't on sale - recommended by the Baby Bunting staff Yoyo is no good cause it has 2 bars going through the basket so storage space is very limited - I checked it out at Baby Bunting

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)

I just came back from a week in Singapore with the skip 3. It fit easily in the overhead bins with Qantas on the 787. The A380 that Emirates use is a very large plane with large overhead bins so you can be confident that the skip 3 will fit. Ask me any questions you'd like about the pram. My only real issue with the pram is that you have to modify your posture / stance a bit with the pram to avoid striding into the rear axle. However I found this to be an issue with most of the travel prams I tested in store - so might just be a travel pram thing. Some travel prams cleverly offset the rear "axle" so that there is a bit more room for your feet to swing forward. The minu v3 does this well but it's a bit more expensive for sure. Overall I got used to the skip3 and really enjoyed the pram on our trip. I'm using it again soon for a couple more weeks overseas.

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.

I have the nuvo and the skip 3. The skip 3 is a great travel pram but significantly lower and if you are anything north of 175 cm you will find yourself kicking the axle from time to time so you will have to walk in an uncomfortable way to make it work. Not all travel prams are like this - I tested the minu v3 and it didn’t have this issue. The nuvo is a great pram particularly for the bassinet stage and we enjoy how much storage it has underneath - plus very ergonomic and capable off the path. The skip 3 gets bogged down in gravel etc due to its small wheels

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.

I’ve been looking at these three as well, and am probably going to go with the Skip3 for its recline. They’re all great prams though!

Are you planning to put a newborn in there? (It’s unclear if you mean you want the stroller to last from birth to 2-3, or for a 2-3 year old). If so, I wouldn’t go the butterfly. If it’s the latter though, the butterfly would be good. If it’s the former, I’d get the Redsbaby Skip with the newborn attachment.

Butterfly or the Skip would both be good for this age. What pram do you currently have?

I was also debating between the aer+ (or aer+2) and skip3 but bought the skip3 on their 20% off sale to try and really like it! We took it to Dreamworld today for a real test with 3yo and it was great (currently due with second so no baby test yet). The basket is huge for a travel pram and handled multiple heavy bags easily, the shade canopy has great coverage & pram feels sturdy (for a travel pram) when pushing and with toddler climbing in & out by himself. The 1 hand fold is super easy, folded size/weight and harness all seem similar to aer+ I tried in store. But I really really like the recline mechanism! (Also that it is newborn safe like the coming aer+2). It has a mechanism you squeeze to lay flat, then just squeeze and pull the strap up to sit upright again. I found the aer+, where you have to unzip the seat all the way around the back, then pull on straps tucked into the back of pram to tighten/loosen, really awkward in store tests (though I’m sure you’d get used to it).

Bugaboo Butterfly is another good choice - it's a 1 handed fold, can go as carry on (We've flown with it both overseas and domestic this year), can recline, good size basket you can fit a backpack in (the yoyo basket is tiny), good size canopy (good for naps). Has a footrest included (unlike the Aer). It's readily available to try at Baby Bunting. I would personally go the Butterfly or Skip over the Yoyo as the 1 handed fold is so handy.

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.

The new redsbaby skip 3 is amazing. I love it more than our Uppababy Vista. One handed fold, so easy to maneuver and a huge basket for a travel pram. Also fits in the overhead cabin in airplanes. Also can lie almost flat for sleeping and a footrest that folds out. Can't fault it!

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 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.
