Joolz AER+ Lightweight & Compact Travel Stroller - Portable One-Hand Fold Design - Ergonomic Seat for Infant & Toddler (up to 50 lb) - XXL Sun Hood - Stroller for Airplane -Travel Pouch- Forest Green

The media could not be loaded. We are planning a trip to Italy where it’s known you’re on and off trains and public transport often. We will also definitely have connecting flights to get there. My old/current travel stroller (details at the end if interested) would make our lives not as enjoyable for this trip to come, so I decided to go back to researching travel strollers after a year with the Harppa I have been using for air travel. I’ve heard on and on about the YoYo, but also saw this stroller mentioned on some travel blogs. After a deep dive on travel blogs, tons of reviews and videos, I decided to get the YoYo and the Joolz to try in person. Shockingly, I HATED the YoYo. Maybe the one I got was defective, but the one handed close was a 12 minute struggle to get closed with two hands and on my knees. You have to bend down and reach under the seat to collapse it and it was not easy. Plus it came unassembled. The instructions were pictures only, hard to understand, and the seat cushioning along with the overall aesthetic did not compare to the Joolz.I am already in LOVE with the Joolz. When I did travel roller research a year ago before settling with the Harppa, I had tested 7 or 8 different lower priced travel strollers (~$100-$200 range). I have not encountered a seat cushion so dense and comfortable. I want to sit in it! I also much prefer this zip feature over the pull straps for the recline, that’s just my preference though. The sun cover extends an amazing length so I am hopeful for on-the-town naps. The thing I like the most is I can actually close it with one hand and the elastic shoulder strap is genius. I use a Tushbaby when I travel with my son so he is on my hip almost the entire time until we are on the plane. With the old stroller, I would have to put him down and try to keep him from crawling away (airport floors surely aren’t the most sanitary either) while I tried to get it in a bag to gate check it. With this Joolz, I won’t have to put him down nor will I need to gate check it so it will be a big plus and convenience going forward. An antsy toddler after a flight and waiting for a gate checked bag/stroller… will be nice to avoid it! It does come with a bag that I will bring just incase we get on a smaller plane that will require it to be gate checked.Every parent traveler will have their own priorities so that’s why there are different stroller variations to appease the different needs. The things that were most important to me were to fit in the plane overhead, ease to carry (while holding a toddler & diaper bag simultaneously) and the comfort for on-the-go naps. This stroller surpassed the YoYo and the other 8 lower price point options I formerly tested by far. I only wish that for the price point, it came with a rain cover and a foot rest.Regarding my old travel stroller, I did extensive research on travel strollers a year ago, but only needed something for quick direct flights for work trips that didn’t consist of much long hours of strolling or compact needs. I ended up getting a cheaper Harppa stroller that still works great and was very functional for my then needs. The downfalls is it isn’t small enough for a plane overhead bin so I have to gate check it and put it in a gate check bag because the side clasp to keep it closed could easily come off and open it. I could just picture the luggage guys trying to figure out how to close it once it accidentally opened it and I didn’t want to chance it. My husband couldn’t figure out how to close it at first and tried to put it in the truck fully open! Another plus of the Joolz is that like how you use the double handle buttons to close it, you do the same to open it. No wide clasps to accidently come off and it open. I usually travel solo with my toddler to my work destination, then we have someone there to watch him while I go to my meetings each day. Well, after an 8 day trip to the northeast, 4 plane rides and driving to 5 different states, the Harappa stroller was less convenient. Not for the car or our daily movements once on the ground, but packing it in the bag and out for connecting flights wasn’t ideal. I would be out of breath and very wore out trying to get it in the bag while keeping by son on my hip or trying to keep him wrangled close by. I made it happen, it just wasn’t fun. The biggest issue now is that my son is so tall (even at 14 months). If I laid the backrest flat he was too tall, his head was squished and to the side. The flat lay is a positive feature that it would go almost 100% flat for naps, but not helpful if you can’t utilize it. So the napping feature that was a positive wasn’t even utilized.

What can I say? I loved it! It’s beautiful, classic fancy and comfortable to travel.My baby loves it ! He likes tbe inside the bassinet, it is also very cool and adapts to different climates, it also has good cushioning. The best part is when you put it in the trunk of the car since it doesn't take up any space and my husband likes to assemble and disassemble it with one hand, it's so practical and efficient event when we are on the airplane THE BEST PART ! ! This brand has surprised me and we would buy again without hesitation!If you are a very practical husband who likes to have products that don't put you in trouble and stress you and your wife then this stroller is for you haha.

This thing is amazing. It is lightweight, and something about it makes it feel like less of a stroller, and more like a chair you wheel your kid around in. it’s slimmer and more vertical than most strollers. But it gets the job done. It’s very maneuverable and the one handed fold/expansion is the main reason I chose it over others. I get the feeling that the baby could be more comfortable in something more luxurious, but this was the overall best pick for us.

Simply amazing ! The perfect travel stroller from traveling via airport to even traveling to your local Costco - does not take up space in your trunk like our other major name large stroller ! And our 7 month old loves this! Worth every penny and more !!!

It is a relatively light weight sturdy but sturdy and safe. It is easily maneuvered, and I can open it with one hand. Most importantly: My granddaughter is comfortable.Folds up to fit into an overhead comapartment.

Love pretty much everything about this stroller. We use the folding feature a lot, restaurants, escalators, narrow spaces, airports. Stroller is lightweight and sturdy unlike the competition. I do think my toddler slouches too much in it, but there is less slouching if crouch strap is tighter. Also even though this was a concern of mine before purchasing, zipper recliner feature was never an issue and never woke my toddler when reclining in her sleep. One other occasional annoyance is that if you’re taller you might be accidentally stepping on the break while pushing the stroller.

I would love to recommend Joolz to every traveling parent! We bought both yoyo and joolz and returned yoyo. Joolz aer is a combination of light weight, stable, smooth, portable and high quality. We used it for several international flights and carry on was never an issue. The folding and unfolding process is so smooth and that’s the main reason we chose Joolz over yoyo. The only complaint I have is the space under seat is pretty limited for baby bag and because it is light weight you cannot put any heavy things on the handle bar otherwise it will flip. But beside that, everything works perfect and we are really satisfied. This color looks great too!

Great stroller. The only complaint is lack of cup holder for me. 🤣 weight is good. Easy to use. Perfect height and smooth wheels
