Stylish, easy to use and very versatile and best of all, unusual!
Fantastic ergonomic design and build quality, degree of exclusivity. Competitive price for travel systems in this sector.
Can be difficult to source.
Folding mechanism can be intimidating at first, but with good guidance and practice it is very easy (brakes on, buttons on handles depressed and then just tap the handle in the direction of the frame, DONT push it down towards the floor as you might expect). When our system was new we had to put the front wheels against a solid object (car wheel etc.) so it didn't skid forwards even with brakes on, but since the mechanism has eased and is now very easy.
We bought the Joolz Day last year in readiness for our Daughter Isobel who was born on 14th December.
Since then we have used the Joolz in a variety of environments and it has been first class.
The off road capabilities are very good due to the four wheel suspension, and air filled tyres and on pavements or in shops it is very easy to manouvre and push.
The Joolz can be difficult to buy as at the time we were looking to purchase it was only available through independant shops rather than the big high street chains. We travelled 60 miles to be able to have a go with a Joolz, but once we had we bought it there and then (after trying many others such as the Bugaboo Chameleon, various iCandy's and the Stokke (which my wife didn't like the design of).
Compared to the Bugaboo and the Stokke the Joolz is very competitively priced, as we were typical first time parents we would have spent the extra if we had felt that these were a better product. After four months of use we have been impressed with the build quality, and my wife feels particularly proud walking around with this pram as it really is unusual (we're yet to see another).
We also bought the Sleeping Bag, Parasol, Changing Bag, XL Shopping Bag and Maxi-Cosi adapters, can be expensive but by buying as a bundle we saved a huge amount!!
