Compact stroller recommendations please?

I’ve just bought the Joolz aer+ and wow I love it!

@Helen Awww that’s good! How old is your LO? I’ve looked at that oblong and like it too! Also the butterfly and ergobaby metro 3. Wish I could swap bits of the butterfly and Joolz to have a pram lol. Love the foot rest on the butterfly, but don’t like that it’s reclined even it’s furthest up. My little one is only 7 months so I’m trying to judge when he’s older but it’s hard lol.

He’s 10.5 months now. We have only just bought it for him, but been using it for 2 weeks and honestly think it’s amazing. He loves it and seems really happy sat in it. And it’s a dream to push, even done a few long walks with it. Can recline into a half recline position which he happily sleeps in. You can buy a footrest to add on. It only weighs 6kg and folds up small - can carry it on my shoulder, and fits in the footwell in the car. Made life so much easier! I’ve heard good things about the ergobaby as well - that was recommended to me as well. Xx

Second vote for Joolz AER+. We have had ours about 1.5 years, from when ours was 6 months and I love it. Barely use the big pram now. I’ve just bought a bassinet for it for our second as I don’t want to go back to the big pram. We tried yoyo and bugaboo in the store and thought yoyo was too small feeling and aer handled better than the bugaboo. It’s also incredibly easy to fold down which is very handy when simultaneously wrestling a toddler!

The only negative is the footrest. She likes it to sleep but if she kicks her legs it collapses, and then she always asks for it back up. It can be a bit tedious! Not sure if they have improved the design since I bought it.

@Helen Ahhh fab thanks! I think the only thing I like is the storage is bigger on bugaboo and footrest better but my dude does not like to be reclined already. I’ve only tried the butterfly and he looked so comfy , first thing he did though was try to lean forward to sit up more x

@Jennifer Ahhhh thanks! Yes if only it could have the storage size as the butterfly and the footrest of the butterfly as it looks in vids (the Aer+) to be more upright than the butterfly ? My dude only tried the butterfly as nearest store for the ergobaby and Joolz is 45 mins so not been yet and he immediately kept trying to lean forward to be more upright

It’s relatively upright, I think more than the yoyo but not as much as our big pram (which is bugaboo). We’ve never had an issue with storage (I didn’t realise the bugaboo had more…), but we tend to use tote bags and a zip lock for nappy change kit which means no bulk. We find storage is enough for all her stuff for a day out done this way, and can take a backpack if really needed. She only really uses the footrest when sleeping (which she doesn’t do that much in the pram any more so it isn’t a massive issue).

Third vote for the Joolz Aer+ — it’s awesome! Perfect for travel since it fits in the overhead bin and folds super easily with one hand. The only downside is that you have to buy extras like the footrest and bumper bar separately. And yeah, you’re right, the storage space is probably smaller than the Bugaboo. A friend of mine has the Bugaboo and it does look a bit bulkier, so I guess it just depends on what you’re looking for.

Joolz Aer + have had it for a month now,and it’s honestly the best.
