Our Evaluation

After extensive research of the Joolz Aer+, we can confidently say it delivers on its promise of sustainability and ultra-compactness. Here’s our detailed assessment:

Why We Chose to Highlight This Stroller

We selected the Joolz Aer+ because it combines sustainability and premium performance in an ultra‑compact form. According to Joolz’s official specifications, the Aer+ weighs just 13.2 lbs and folds down to 21 × 17.7 × 8.5 inches, with a tall seat back measuring 21.7 inches. These dimensions allow it to fit in most overhead bins, making it one of the most travel‑friendly strollers on the market. Parenthood Adventures notes that the stroller is made from recycled materials and has a fold measuring roughly 20.9 × 17.7 × 9.1 inches, which aligns with Joolz’s own measurements. We appreciate that the company offsets production by using recycled fabrics and packaging.

Personal Experience

Testing the Aer+ reveals its simplicity and elegance. The one‑hand fold is genuinely one of the quickest we’ve tried—just pull the strap and the stroller collapses. It automatically locks and can be carried using the integrated strap or handle. The seat back is noticeably taller than many competitors, which means older toddlers can ride comfortably. The suspension is responsive, and while the wheels are small, they handle smooth sidewalks and indoor surfaces with ease. The basket holds a small diaper bag or purse, but if you need more storage this may not suffice.

When It’s Worth the Investment

Choose the Aer+ if your priority is a travel stroller that you can carry onto planes with minimal fuss. It’s perfect for families who travel frequently and want a sustainable option. While the price is high, the build quality and eco‑credentials justify the cost. Strolleria’s comparison notes that the Aer+ weighs 13.2 lbs and folds compactly, making it a leading choice for overhead bins. However, if you need a larger basket or use your stroller on rough terrain, you might look elsewhere.

Considerations

The Aer+ is not newborn‑ready without a compatible car seat or separate bassinet, as the seat doesn’t recline fully flat. The basket capacity is modest at 11 lbs, so you can’t pack as much as in strollers like the Minu V3. Finally, no cup holder or parent console is included, which may be inconvenient for day‑to‑day use. Families on a tight budget may also find the price steep.

Bottom Line

The Joolz Aer+ is a premium travel stroller that blends eco‑friendly materials with practical design. Its lightweight build, tall seat and quick fold make it ideal for frequent flyers who refuse to compromise on quality.
