It's the most comprehensive, scientific review on CZcams.I I'm impressed by the proper ,literary English.
Thank you for your review! I use to travel alone and need to hold the baby while folding the chair, so this information is pretty handy.
Thanks to every mom who commented about their same issue, it helpped a lot.
I love how to discuss the practical and structural aspects rather than trendy or aesthetics. Once you have a child and are using it multiple times a day (therefore issues like fold and ease of use become paramount).
For my needs my fave travel stroller (after researching and testing out quite a few) is the Redsbaby Skip. Why?
Lightweight 6kg and neat small fold (chunkier than the yo-yo but smaller than the Minu) folded 27x45x50
Great good size seat - deep enough with a slight incline so child doesn’t slip out, 48 cm backrest, FLAT recline and adjustable leg rest - since my child often falls asleep in her pram this gave her a long flat area to sleep on so this was important to me.
Very sturdy and stable with accessible decent sized under basket.
Narrow frame width 45cm (can go through any turnstile at train station)
Excellent hood that extends
My child can get in and out easily by herself.
Comes with shoulder strap and soft drawstring case/bag.
Holds up to 20kg and my kiddo still fits in it at 4yrs old.
I did try out others (Yo-yo, MB Nano, Sivercross, Minu, Joie Pact, Cybex EasyS, Maxi Cosi) in the store but I found many travel strollers had either shallow seats or the backrest in the upright position was too “laid back” for my child or else she would slide forward (without the harness on). Many of them have very short seat backs (40-43cm) and only a minimal recline.
The other one I considered was the Easywalker which ticked most of my boxes too.
Disclaimer- this was a few years ago.
I love your videos. I tested both and decided for the Aer! I love the one hand folding system! It's just great when you're traveling alone with your kid! Also, I felt that the Yoyo is less stable in curves and would easier tip over! One more reason was that the Aer is cheaper and has the raincover included.
Right on. Glad it's working for you :)
That information is what I wanted to know.thank you dear sister ❤️
Completely agree with all the above! Love my Joolz aer
I bought Aer after saw your comment ☺️
Yep that’s why I chose the aer. The babyzen was wayyy too expensive and the push a bit wobbly for my taste
Hello there from finland 🇫🇮 i have been watching your video since 2021 and really like your videos. They are very informative and helpfull for people who are looking for "the best stroller". I bought the uppababy cruz v2 and recently bought the joolz aer. And i really love them both. They are so easy to fold and unfold. Easy to carry. Easy to store. Seatbelt/harness is easy to use. Soft and tall seat and really sturdy strollers both of them. Thank you very much!
We bought 4 Months ago the Joolz Aer because of your review and I love the stroller! I have to say, that I haven’t used a Yoyo, so I cannot compare, but the Aer is very sturdy and light at the same time. Love the one hand fold, as I often fold it and unfold it, when holding the baby with the other hand. Used it for a whole month practically every day and it takes a really small space in the trunk of the car. I still would have liked to have a way to fold it without having to take the bumper bar off. But still, Aer is pretty great!
Can u take aer at the airplane?
@@user-ct2ch5zb6p Yes, it is small, so it goes perfectly in the space above in the cabin. It depends on the plane, of course, but it is smaller than a cabin trolley.
We just bought the air and love it. It‘s super comfy for our nearly two year old and really practical for city life with hidden elevators in stations and shops. We just fold the aer and walk. But please don‘t recommend the leg rest. Our kid needs it because her legs are too short for the normal leg rest but it is a design fail! After installing it you can‘t carry the buggy with the strap anymore. The Joolz service Team recommends that we remove the leg rest each time before carrying the aer. That‘s ridiculous!
Thanks for the info, I’ll make sure to note this In future videos concerning the Aer. :)
I use the yoyo 2 as a daily stroller (as do a lot of parents in london). Although it’s been very handy, I’m considering changing to the Aer+ for baby #2. I love it’s easy one handed steering capabilities and it’s compact nature when folded (I drive a fiat 500). However a few things I don’t like:
- how small the seat is, often felt sorry for my lanky toddler as it didn’t look comfortable
- the recline is awful, both in how low it goes (or doesn’t go!) and the reclining mechanism itself which is very hard to use with the weight of an actual child on it. The aer+‘s (the newer model to the one shown in this video) recline looks much smoother to use and is a deeper recline
- I had to purchase the foot board extended and rain covers separately, which is absolutely ridiculous in my opinion considering how expensive the stroller is. Also, the mechanism of the foot board is weak and can’t really take the weight of a toddlers feet. I’m constantly pulling it up again.
- the lower compartment is essentially useless as it’s so small
- there is however a zipped compartment in the hood which is a significant size and is quite useful
- the handle is way too tall for my family to use. I’m Asian, and tall for a south asian woman at 5.5, so I can use the handle comfortably enough, however, the handle is much too high for my mother or anyone else in my family really.
I’m a little confused. Are these cons for the yoyo or Aer+?
@@prinzmarck759 Seems like she meant the yoyo2
Yoyo is the best ❤
Here in Europe people buy it and use it as primary and only stroller from day 1
Thank you so much for doing these reviews. I found other more popular stroller review channels seems too sale-sy, whereas you just go for the facts and opinions based on experiences.
My daily stroller is the Xplory V5 and need a more portable "travel" alternative. Having been debating between Yoyo+/Yoyo2, Ant, Eezy Twist S, Minu, Jet, and Zigi. After my in-shop tests and your other reviews I was going to buy the Yoyo2 when luckily I watched this. Checked out the Aer in person and was not disappointed - the concept is the same as Yoyo but personally I found the material used to be better (e.g. memory-form like seat padding), plus lifetime warranty!
One thing I noticed is that the silver chassis seems to be only available with the Blue trim. As recommended I also included the leg support. I'm waiting for delivery and can't wait to try it out.
Hi.. Which one u got? Aer?
Thanks for the in depth and unbiased review! It has helped us in making a decision about a travel friendly stroller :)
what did you end up getting and why?
i wish all videos went at this pace 🎉
Bought the joolz aer - so much better than yo-yo! Got bassinet too!
I love my yoyo2, it looks like the aer seat has a shorter depth in measure, & i had another compact stroller before my yoyo (colugo) , & sold it because of that reason! The depth in the seat was very uncomfortable for my baby, making her seat very weird & not comfortable at all. Just one reason for someone interested in the aer to look at, if thats not problem to you, otherwise the aer looks like a very nice stroller as well! The one fold is the #1 thing!
Thank you for your videos. I was looking for a travel stroller and ultimately I went with the Joolz Aer, mainly because of your videos. I kept debating between the Babyzen YoYo2 and the Aer, but the most recent Black Friday sale on Joolz was way too good to pass up.
I also picked up a Joolz Hub + based on your recommendation for more day to day use. (A sturdy, reversible compact stroller, to be specific.)
Right on, I hope they work well for you! :)
How much was it on sale?
I love your reviews, actually real reviews. I find myself coming back to more of your reviews. Keep it up!
Ps. Would it be possible to do a review on the Elodie mondo?
I’ve been going back and forth from yoyo2, joolz aer and Elodie mondo.
If you ask me, do not buy the Joolz Aer. It is an extremely dangerous products, the break just sucks, it clicks but still sometimes is not on. I ended up chasing the stroller rolling on its own with my kid inside; we ended up in the hospital with 3 stitches.
Please, update the iformation, it's approval to carry children up to 22 kg since last may 2020. Thanks.
Thanks for this review! It’s so helpful! I’m trying to decide between the Joolz Aer and the Yoyo+ (on sale now so even cheaper than the Aer). Which one would you recommend? The one hand fold on the Aer is what’s attracting me but the yoyo is just so popular for some reason. I really don’t know which one to buy...
I was debating between the aer and inglesina quid . I went with the aer ! I love it . Easy to fold, comes completely assembled, easy to store because it takes very little space at home and in a trunk , material is beyond soft - like butter :) . I love it and I hope this helps you . Also my child is 2.5 yrs old and I live in a busy city with small streets , busy roads etc and it moves around amazingly. The best part is that if my child wants to walk I can fold it and carry it because it’s so easy to fold and light to carry.
Which do you decide to buy? In toasing between this two
@@ratnadwisavitri6185 I got the aer and love it so far.. it feels high quality and looks really good. Plus, it was on sale when I purchased, so about $200 cheaper than the yoyo at time of purchase. Also worth considering if you plan to use the stroller with a car seat, which car seat you have/want and if it’s compatible with each of the strollers
@@aaleeecccc how it goes for big toddler? My daughter will be 3 years during our travel
@@ratnadwisavitri6185 i have no experience using it with a toddler, it's weight rated up to 50 lbs but i wouldn't know at what height it'd get uncomfortable. i have heard you really need the additional foot rest for toddlers though which is sold separately
Please review hamilton stroller. I wonder whether the stroller worth to buy, and which one is the best stroller for travel? Thank you
The hamilton is really cool stroller and well structured but i don't think it is allowed to take in the overhead compartments (remember the cabin crew are not really friendly with the idea of bringing stroller with u), i saw it in the store and i think it is too wide.
Joozl Aer how do you adjust the handle, my sisters is a little high and we need to move it a little. Does it adjust and if so can help me please as the baby’s due soon 🙈
Can I take joolz aer to every plane as babyzen yoyo?
This is only thing I wondering 🥺
Yes
Hey, I love your videos with in-depth reviews and comparisons. I’d love to see one for the Joolz Aer vs. UppaBaby Minu. What are your thoughts between the two? Have seen you compare both with the Yoyo but not against each other. Love that the Aer has the same one hand fold as the Minu, is lighter and more compact for airplane overhead bins, seems to have a decent sized basket, and I really like the best zipper at the back that hides the straps for the recline system. It’s aesthetically quite appealing and can go from birth to 50 lbs like the Minu.
I’m not seeing any downside with the Joolz Aer yet (we already love the Joolz engineering quality from our full pram Day3) but really want to hear your technical comparison esp. on the maneuverability, stability, construction, fold and performance. Which one do you recommend more? Thank you!
Thanks, glad you like the videos. :) I've added this comparison to the list, but my short notes for the difference is that the Minu isn't really an ultra-compact in the cabin-luggage travel-sense (it's simply too big and will be fiddly to disassemble down to a size where you won't be denied by a lot of airlines), instead it's more the only stroller of this size and style (including the Yoyo) that's suitable for every-day, all-day use as your main stroller given appropriate terrain conditions, due to it's exceptional strength vs other ultra-compacts. The Aer by contrast is the best 1-hand/1-step fold cabin-luggage-acceptable model on the current market (though note that I still like the Yoyo a tad better anyway for structural strength and simplicity of design). :)
Do you feel like any of these two lightweight strollers might fare well in snowy/slushy streets??? I live in Montreal, Canada and that’s the reality a good 5-6 months of the year. On the other hand, I’m 5ft1 and I can’t fathom pushing around a full size stroller…. I’d like something that’s usable from birth!
I’m from Montreal too I just bought the yo-yo soo haven’t taken it out yet. But I know it comes with skiis and the other day I saw two of them downtown. I spoke to a couple and they said it worked great with the skiis
Please review inglesina quid vs joolz aer
We've had a few requests for the Quid, but unfortunately it hasn't come to Norway yet. We'll keep an eye out for it, though :)
When both strollers are in the most up right position is the joolz a little more straight than the minu? I feel like the minu is a bit reclined at the most up right position.
Does one have better sun protection than the other? It looks like if the Joolz has a wide mesh that may let sunlight in (when open), and if it's not open it does not provide as much sun coverage as the Yoyo. What are your thoughts?
I am 1.55 cm because of the pandemie the shops are closed. I can’t test the strollers. Which one do you prefer for short people? I love both of them but can’t choose
Yoyo would fit for your height a bit more (even I chose aer after testing)
Does the aer fit in the over head in the airplane?
Can the joolz aer support a car seat like the yoyo2?
Yes, and they have the important one too (Cybex/MaxiCosi/BeSafe). :)
Has anyone brought Aer for international airlines? Can you bring this stroller in the plane?
Is Joolz Are Stroller same with Joolz Pushchair?
Hello
I’m waiting for you to review the Silver Ctoss Jet 2020 and how it compares to Yoyo. Thanks again for your clear and knowledgeable reviews!
Right on. It's still not available in Norway, unfortunately. But we're keeping an eye out for it :)
But how can one say that the Hub and the Minu are a tad larger? They look huge to me. So you would not recommend this as a day to day city stroller? I would like to buy only one stroller, I see that many purchase two. I was thinking of the Joolz aer with the bassinet for a NB. Would you recommend against that then?
It depends a bit on how rough the terrain is where you live, and how intensive your stroller use will be (i.e. do you drive a lot and will only use the stroller for shorter outings out of the car or around the neighborhood, or on the other side of the spectrum, do you live in a city and get around without a car and may need to negotiate coblestones regularly). :)
@@BarnevognverkstedNo Thank you! We live in Frankfurt, a small German city, without a car, and barely any cobblestones. The biggest adventure I would say is the neighbourhood park, where you can encounter some gravel. I'm debating between the Joolz aer or the mid size cybex/nuna Triv, with a higher price point (which might also require purchasing a buggy later on, I hope not). From your videos I understand that the issues are similar with these models as well?
@@razz4878 you should consider the cybex eezy twist as well. Fellow German living in a city here
@@hollygolightly9572 Thank you, I was considering that, but I was concerned about the suspension not being strong enough for a NB back. Ended up buying a Nuna Triv, which is a good compromise I guess. Hopefully we don't need to change to a travel buggy later on..
İ am looking for the babyzen yoyo2 but i find the cybex beezy looks more resistant but is heavier. Can someone recommend any of these two strollers ?
We went with the yo-yo for travel (plane) as it's light and do much more compact therefore convenient for us. We love cybex and actually have the Priam line. Tested the Breezy as we thought of getting it initially to stay within its family of products, but felt it was a bit heavier and larger when folded than the yo-yo. You also can't really use it for a newborn- doesn't recline fully and no infant insert.
Does grassy lawns count as rough terrains?
If it's smooth American suburban tract-housing lawn, it should be fine. But if it's more like park lawn (with rocks and sticks and pinecones etc.), it'll be a bit bumpy. :)
Would you recommend the Joolz aer or bugaboo bee 6? X
Do Joolz aer come with other exessories like rain cover?
I bought mine 2 days ago and came with the rain cover, at least here in Spain ;)
Joolz aer is way better then Yoyo. I the seat us huge. I was able to lug two toddlers in it. And also wheels are handling any terrain perfectly. And my 4 year old can easy sleep in it. But yoyo he outgrew when he was 2 year old .
Hi Zena, would you recommend this as a daily stroller suitable from birth? Thank you!
I cant chose between joolz hub or joolz aer or qbitgb😖
Hub+ is completely different class of. More simliar to the bee5/6
Haha that's why I am getting both! Hub+ with bassinet for everyday use (already ordered, waiting for it to come, as well as for my baby to be born soon) and then later adding aer as a travel stroller
Can you being joolz on plane like yoyo?
Could you please make a review of the new Cybex Libelle? Can't make decision over yoyo vs libelle. Thank you!
It's definitely on the list, but for now, just know that the Cybex Libelle is just Goodbaby International trying to sell the GB Pockit design through Cybex (the models are so utterly identical, it's like they're not even bothering to hide that they sell the same parts and designs through a dozen different brands, anymore), so check out this older GB Pockit+ vs Yoyo video, and you'll more or less get our take on the Libelle as well: czcams.com/video/DJWkugvqLIA/video.html
or our stand alone review for the Pockit+: czcams.com/video/d3S4dGYu8Hw/video.html
Would you recommend Joolz Aer over Ergobaby Metro 2020 please, or?
Depends on your situation, but this video will help :) czcams.com/video/woIn0_KPHoc/video.html
The Are fold much easier than the Yoyo.
