Showing item 1 of 4

The Joie Signature Tourist is a lightweight and compact one-hand auto fold pushchair, niftily combining a carrycot, infant carrier and forward facing seat option “all in one sweet ride”. It’s a clever combination if you’re looking for something flexible and stylish without a hefty price tag. Sitting alongside the likes of the Baby Jogger City Tour 2 and the Chicco Goody, the Tourist currently retails at £200 for the pushchair element, with the carrycot, car seat adapters and additional extras sold separately.

Winning Joint Gold for Best lightweight pushchair in the MadeForMum Awards 2022, the Joie Signature Tourist offers a convenient option for both parents and baby/child, up to 15kg (around 3.5/4-years old).

Jen Thorne tested the Joie Signature Tourist pushchair with her 6-month-old son and 3-year-old daughter in Hertfordshire, tackling a variety of terrains including pebbles, pavements, grass and her local shopping centre.

What were your first impressions?

On first impressions, the Joie Signature Tourist looked stylish, giving it a more premium feel than the £200 price point might suggest. With its faux leather tan handle and matching detail on the seat, it is available in three colours: Oyster, Eclipse and Pine. Each colour is complemented with its own matching chassis, making it appear sleek and smart when teamed with its plush fabric. It also has a large, waterproof canopy with a UPF 50+ rating, making it ideal for both a summer holiday and a rainy walk in the park.

How easy was the Joie Signature Tourist to build?

The Joie Signature Tourist was really easy to put together and came complete with a clear instruction manual. However, this was not needed and it took less than five minutes to construct the pushchair without any hassle.

How does the latest version of the Joie Signature Tourist compare to older models?

The Joie Tourist first arrived on the pushchair scene in 2019, and it’s fair to say the pram has had a bit of a makeover since then. Curated as part of the brand’s Signature range, the Tourist now comes with more luxurious finishes such as magnetic buckles for securing even the wriggliest of toddlers and an adjustable calf support for added comfort. While some features remain the same such as its one-handed, compact fold and width of 47.1cm, the latest version is slightly heavier, with it now weighing 6.6kg compared to 5.92kg.

What is the Joie Signature Tourist like to push and steer?

My initial first impressions on pushing and steering my 6-month old in the Joie Signature Tourist were positive, with the pushchair handling our pebble driveway with ease. However with further use, the manoeuvring became more of an issue with the pram, especially when turning corners or steering with one hand. It felt very unsteady and less secure. This view was supported by MFM Awards judge Charlotte, who noted that while one hand pushing was possible, it was “not as easy or comfortable” and “two hands were needed a lot of the time”. When using the pushchair with my 3-year old, it felt more stable, a view supported by Maxine, one of our Home Testers who said the Tourist was “a dream” to manoeuvre and “easy to push” one-handed, so the weight of the child may influence its performance in this field.

How easy or difficult is it to fold the Joie Signature Tourist?

Like many online parent reviews suggest, a huge positive is how easy the Tourist is to either fold or unfold with one hand. As shown in this video , there is an easy slider button on the handle that makes it very easy to fold down. Once folded, it stays secure and easily props upright so can be stored in narrow spaces without issue.

When folded, how light and easy is it to carry the Joie Signature Tourist?

Described by Joie as “featherweight”, the Tourist is very light and easy to pick up one-handed. As well as a carry handle, the bumper bar doubles up as a handle for lifting when collapsed and while this is a clever feature, it did feel a little insecure. This was also spotted by MFM Awards judge Charlotte, who said that having to carry the pushchair using this bar felt “flimsy” and could be easily damaged. They also stated that when using the sturdier handle, the Tourist can unfold.

How compact is it when folded?

The pram folds easily and is relatively compact, measuring L:66.1xW47.1xH24.3cm wide, putting it alongside the likes of the Joolz Aer – L:53.5xW45xH21cm – for portability. The Tourist's dimensions mean it can easily fit into a car boot and depending on which airline, can be stowed as cabin baggage. Like other lightweight strollers in this field, the pushchair folds flat and self-stands, making it convenient to store around the house.

Does the Joie Signature Tourist seat lie comfortably flat?

The pushchair seat does offer a lie-flat option, however, there is still a slight angle. My 6-month-old still enjoyed a snooze when it was fully reclined, but for a newborn, the support to stay in position was very limited. The back and seat are both fairly firm, so for a younger baby, the carrycot may be a suitable alternative. However, for my baby and toddler, they were perfectly comfortable and as noted by our Home Tester Maxine during the MFM Awards, whether in the lie-flat or sit-up position, there is “ample space” for the child. MFM judge Catherine adds: “The seat is well padded and it can easily recline if they want to nap.”

How easy is it to recline the Joie Signature Tourist seat?

The recline function is controlled by a string and took a bit of practice (and an extra pair of hands) to get right. Once the cord is pulled to loosen, it can suddenly fall from sitting up right to lying flat, which could be a bit of a shock for the baby. Similarly, pushing back the seat upright also required some help in holding it in position, which was the most frustrating feature on the pushchair overall.

Does the Joie Signature Tourist come with a cocoon?

There is no cocoon or any extra comfort features for a newborn, and as mentioned previously, the carrycot addition may be more suitable for this age. Due to the angle of the pushchair seat, even when fully reclined, it is definitely more suitable as the baby gets a bit more sturdy, around 6-months plus.

What's the chassis like?

The chassis is a matte, dark grey shade which compliments the fabric of the seat and it feels strong and durable. After testing the Tourist over different terrains, I noticed no scratching or damage to the chassis.

Do you like the design of the Tourist?

Some of the details, such as the tan leather handle and piping on the grey toned seat fabric, were nice touches, but I felt the pushchair has a slightly less modern feel compared to other compact or lightweight pram options.

Is the Joie Signature Tourist handle adjustable?

It was a massive plus for my husband and I that the handlebar height was adjustable, as it made the pushchair comfortable for us to push along with ease. For that added bit of luxury, the handle is also padded, which makes it feel nice to grip and hold onto.

What did you think about the wheels?

The Joie Signature Tourist wheels are detachable, yet still feel sturdy, with brakes connected to the back two wheels. The wheels coped well on a variety of terrains, including a pebble driveway, path, grass and shopping centre floors. In fact, it was on the smoother surfaces where the Tourist felt its most unsteady, especially around corners. The brake is easy to operate both on and off and when applied, the pushchair feels secure.

What’s the storage basket like on the Joie Signature Tourist?

For a lightweight pram, the basket is a great size which is a big positive. It’s ideal for popping to the shops and filling with essentials rather than needing to precariously balance your shopping on the handle. Our MFM Awards Home Tester Maxine was also a massive fan of the basket, stating that it was a “useful” element and that the basket was “really spacious”.

Can the Joie Signature Tourist be used with a car seat to create a travel system?

With Joie boasting that the Signature Tourist is “3 in 1 multitasker” to see a child “roll smoothly from a baby to a big kid”, you can also purchase a carrycot for £120 and car seat adaptors, which turns the pram from a compact option into a fully fledged travel system for those parents on a budget.

What’s in the box?

• Joie Signature Tourist pushchair and storage basket
• Carry strap

What should parents know before purchasing the Joie Signature Tourist?

After testing the pram and knowing more about the ability to turn it into a travel system, the Tourist is a great option for anyone looking for a compact buggy for everyday use, that can also easily be taken on holiday. It can be folded into a small space for easy storage and, while it might not be the most modern of pushchairs out there, for £200 it’s fantastic value for that level of flexibility (although travel system add-ons are additional) and offers a pram to see you through from early months into toddler life and beyond.

Who would the Joie Signature Tourist be most useful for?

This pushchair is ideal for someone who is on a budget but wants to get a one-pram option that is lightweight but also offers a travel system functionality. Also, because of its compact fold and featherweight frame, it could also be a great choice for families who want a second stroller for travel.

How does the Joie Signature Tourist compare to similar travel pushchairs?

Where can i buy the joie signature tourist.

It is available at John Lewis , Pramworld and Mamas & Papas .

MadeForMums verdict:

The Joie Signature Tourist is a pushchair that ticks almost all of the boxes. It’s great value, lightweight, folds easily and offers a travel system function. Whilst it might not be the most fashionable of options out there, it does offer a lot of practicality. It is perfect for those families who are struggling to decide between a big travel system pram or a lightweight holiday friendly option, with the Tourist offering a happy medium for both, at a reasonable price.

Joie Tourist Stroller Review

'An incredibly lightweigh pushchair with a first-class folding mechanism - ideal for holidays and travel use.'

One-handed folding mechanism

Adjustable handle

Lightweight

Seat a little uncomfortable

Why you can trust GoodtoKnow. Our experienced Consumer Editor & parent reviewers spend hours testing products to help you make the best choice. Find out how we test and review products.

Hollie Bond and her one-year-old Margot tested out the Joie Tourist stroller to see if it was worthy of its travel-inspired name. In our buying guide to the  best travel strollers , we named this best travel pushchair for taking on a plane because it's stylish, light enough to carry, and easy to fold.

The Joie Tourist stroller is very easy to assemble. ‘I put it together in about five minutes while looking after my busy one-year-old,' said our tester Hollie. 'There are easy-to-follow instructions, but it’s so intuitive you don’t really need them.’ Once assembled, it is a super lightweight pushchair that would be ideal for parents going on holiday with their toddler or wanting something for daily use if they have a small car.

The Joie Tourist has an ‘amazing’ one-handed mechanism to fold it up and down. ‘You can hold your baby or toddler while collapsing and unfolding the pushchair easily,’ added Hollie. It's compact when folded and has a nifty carry handle. Other features include a decent-sized shopping basket, multi-recline positions and an adjustable handle which Hollie - whose husband is tall - particularly appreciated.

While comfortable for the pusher, Hollie struggled with the recline positions and thought the seat a little hard. She also thinks you’d have to invest in a footmuff in winter and a sunshade in summer as the hood doesn’t provide a huge amount of protection. In terms of value, this is a great mid-range option that would suit parents who want a light pushchair that's also compact and easy to get in and out of a car.

VIEW AT JOHN LEWIS | £200.00

Stroller weight: 5.92kg | Age Range: Birth to three years  | Price: £200.00

Hollie’s first impression of the Joie Tourist was how light it is. At only 6kg, it’s perfect for taking off on an overseas holiday and you’ll have no worries about lifting it on and off the airport carousel, or in and out of the car boot. As well as its weight, Hollie was impressed by its size. ‘It’s quite a tall buggy (107cm in height), which is a real bonus for our family as my husband is very tall and we’ve struggled in the past to find pushchairs with high enough handles for him to comfortably push,’ she said. ‘The handle is easily adjustable too, so I could put it back to the right height for me very quickly.’

But the standout feature of the Joie Tourist is its brilliant, one-handed folding mechanism, which Hollie described as ‘by far the best I’ve seen on a buggy’. You simply squeeze and slide two buttons on the handle with one hand and the pushchair concertinas down into a three-way fold. To open it out again is just as simple. When it’s folded down, it’s compact enough to fit in a small car’s boot (with space for extra bags) and it has a carry handle so you can move it about when folded down very easily.

Comfort and features

The Joie Tourist uses straps and a buckle to keep children in place. The buckle is easy to click into place and the straps over the shoulder are nice and comfortable thanks to some very soft, spongy pads. The length can still be adjusted easily as the pads have poppers so you can remove them before changing the length of the straps. There’s also the option to have calf support in two positions. ‘As Margot is still quite young and has little legs I used the support in the horizontal position, but it’s good to know I can easily set it down for when she has longer legs,’ said Hollie. The wheels are pretty standard for a travel buggy but if they were any bigger you’d sacrifice how light it is.

One of the features Hollie didn’t like was the shape and design of the seat. The buggy has multi-position-recline options, however, while it’s great that it lies flat for naps, she found that it didn’t go up vertical enough. ‘There’s a simple drawstring to change the seat back position, but, however hard I tried, I could not get the back up straight enough for Margot to be comfortable when she was awake,’ she said. ‘She’s a very inquisitive girl so likes to see what’s going on and so was pulling forward a lot of the time rather than sitting back against the seat.’

Another slight gripe was the seat seemed quite hard and didn’t have particularly deep sides to it, so it isn’t the cosiest option. In terms of storage, the Joie Tourist's basket is average-to-good, but bigger nappy bags and handbags are quite hard to fit through the opening, so you’d want to have several smaller bags with you to make the most of the under-buggy basket.

Value for money

The Joie Tourist costs around £200. ‘There are much cheaper options out there and this feels like a middle of the market sort of price and product to me,’ said Hollie. ‘In terms of how the pushchair looks and feels, I’d say it’s a good mid-range travel option.’ She’d recommend this to busy parents who want a really light pushchair to take on holidays or days out. ‘Anyone who struggles to lift heavy baby products, or who has a small car, will love how light and compact this is and how easy it is to use one-handed,’ she added. It’s a chic-looking stroller, coming in a lovely soft grey, and the adjustable handle is comfy too so ticks the box for style-conscious parents.

Joie Baby Tourist review

At a glance:

The Joie Tourist Best Stroller is a quality, lightweight b stroller which you can pack away in a quick one-hand fast fold action, making any trip out with your little one effortless.

How did this product make your life easier?

Kirsty:  There are several features on this stroller that make my life easier as a mum. It is so lightweight and easy to fold and carry, which helps me so much when I'm trying to fold and lift it in and out of the car with my baby in one arm. The stroller is quite compact so I am able to fit it in the car even when I have a boot full of shopping or camping gear, so it is very useful to take on holidays when boot space is limited. There is a handy button that keeps the crotch pad attached to the buckle which is really helpful for me since I usually find that the crotch pads on other pushchairs and car seats are always falling off and going missing. One of the most useful things about this stroller for me is being able to attach my Cybex car seat onto it. This makes my life so much easier when I'm popping in and out of several shops when my daughter has fallen asleep in the car.

Ellie:  This product is amazing for any parent who relies on only one hand! The fact the pram collapses and opens up with ease is such a game-changer and it is so light and easy to pick up. In the past, I have had to put my baby in the car seat first before I can collapse the pram and pack away in the car, but with an unsettled baby this can be really difficult. The tourist means you can keep hold of your baby up until the last minute and then get in the car and go. The shoulder strap is so helpful because it eliminates the awkward pram carry that usually results in bashed legs and trapped fingers. It really is a brilliant pram for making life that bit easier when out and about and you're trying to juggle children and dogs!

Sophie:  I liked the tourist stroller and think it provides value for money. The biggest selling point in my opinion is the quick, one-handed, folding action which means the pram can be easily stored away/ moved around. This would definitely make day to day life much easier. It’s extremely compact when folded, taking up limited space in the car boot. Once folded the strap means the stroller can be easily carried/ moved around. It can also stand in the folded position. Overall, the pram feels of high quality.

Would you recommend this to other mums?

Nikki:  Yes - it lacks features that some of the larger travel systems offer such as larger wheels, larger under storage, larger hood - but for value for money, this pram can do it all if you wanted only one pram. It would also be great as a second pram if used for travel and as a bonus is quite smart and sleek in design and also seems comfy for little ones.

Emily:  It’s a great lightweight pushchair that folds easily. It is beautifully designed and there are some great features such as the deep sunshade and decent storage. The leather handle is very comfortable and it feels spacious without feeling bulky. The pushchair moves smoothly and feels well-made. Overall I would say it is a high-quality pushchair.

Hollie:  I’d recommend it as a cheap solution to a lightweight buggy, however, if the budget would allow I would suggest people opt for something more. I dislike the fact that you move the back of the buggy up and down with a drawstring, I find this to be a very cheap and ineffective way to make a comfy ride for baby. I also found the straps difficult to adjust so Oscar wasn’t as securely fastened as I would have liked.

Would you choose this product to win?

Amie:  I would choose this product over others for the UPF 50+ and water repellent canopy is perfect and saves carrying or using an umbrella or sunshade. It's great not having to remember things as I have enough to remember to take out. It is featherweight and this is what I would need in a stroller and how small and easy it folds.

Pip:  I would perhaps for a summer pram as I think the seat is quite exposed to the wind and in the winter it would be quite cold for the baby and or child. Someone like me who has two dogs and walks every day in rain or shine needs something a lot sturdier and able to be protected from the elements. However as a pram for those rare days that I go out into town, it would be great.

Jenny:  Yes I would actually. At the moment I have the ‘dinosaur’ Cosatto stroller, as I love the fun design, but I would absolutely go for this stroller if I were in need of a new one, as I loved the value for money and the compact fold.

What changes would you make to this product?

Kirsty:  If I could change one thing about the Joie Tourist stroller, I would make it more sturdy and stable so that it doesn't feel like it can topple over. I love that it is really lightweight, but it does mean that it feels like it might tip backwards when it's standing still or sideways when you turn corners. This makes me feel on edge when I am using this stroller with my baby, especially when it feels like my toddler could accidentally knock it over when running past. I would feel much more comfortable with the stroller if it felt more stable on the ground.

Ellie:  I would change the colour of the carrying strap because every time I folded the pram down I struggled to find it due to the fabric all being black. This did sort of defeat the purpose of being able to fold one-handed because it then is fiddly to have to rummage around looking for the strap! Although I appreciate the pram has to be kept quite basic due to its need to be light, I did find the seat quite basic and not particularly comfortable for my daughter. The seat and back are quite hard with minimal padding. Whilst she was absolutely fine in it for a time, it's not the sort of pram I would want her in for a long day. Not only is the seat quite hard, but it also doesn't sit completely upright. I can see how this would be great for a smaller baby, but my 15-month-old couldn't really see what was going on around her. I also found that putting a blanket over her was quite hard because there wasn't really much space to tuck it into, which wouldn't be ideal in the winter.

Nikki:  I would change two things - the size of the hood - or at least the ability to easily attach something to it to block out the sun if needed. The hood is so shallow I'm not sure whether it provides any benefit at all. Secondly, I would make sure that the seat was more upright when in the 'fully upright' position as my toddler likes to sit upright so he can be very nosey!

Meet the Joie Tourist

The Joie Tourist was introduced in 2019 and it grabbed the prestigious Red Dot award.

This lightweight stroller’s compact fold and fully reclinable seat is ideal for families who are always on the go. Some airlines will allow the stroller as cabin luggage because it barely opens to a width of 47.1 cm.

The fact that the stroller almost folds by itself after being unlocked makes folding easier as well. True to its name, the Tourist makes a great travel companion for everyone, including infants. It’s fully compatible with the Joie Ramble carry cot and car seats. This stroller may also accommodate Maxi-Cosi car seats.

Value for Money

Please note that the Joie Tourist is not available on Amazon.

Some parents heartily endorse the Joie Tourist if you’re seeking for a mid-range, lightweight, user-friendly travel stroller. It may not appear as pricey as some of the other travel strollers on the market. Considering its price and features, it’s a wonderful buy for families who love to travel.

As with any stroller, parents have reported issues with the seat. While it’s roomy, it can be uncomfortable for some kids.

What parents say

“It was a total waste of money because my son disdains the stroller I got for our trip. He can’t sit up straight in it, and he’s so uncomfortable that he sobs when he’s in it. I must now buy another, which is unfortunate.” – G. July 13, 2021, 1 star

“The seat is roomy, but it’s a bit tilted. It makes my child slouched. Even though it is a price tradeoff, it will work for rare use.” – L. April 10, 2021, 3 stars

“Price to performance is excellent. Don’t expect the most opulent and durable stroller for that price, but it’s more than just a basic buggy. As a parent of an older toddler who doesn’t require all the bells and whistles on the move, I found it to be quite useful.” – P. February 27, 2020, 4 stars

Ease of Use

When comparing the Joie Tourist to other prams where a child can sit entirely straight, one disadvantage is that even when fully upright, there still appears to be some recline with the seat. Some parents claim that their child cannot sit up straight in it, hence making it possibly less useful than a pram for lengthy hikes and activities.

It’s simple to tighten the straps and fastening the five-point harness to secure a child in it isn’t at all difficult. But some parents have reported to have experienced so otherwise.

“When the baby is sitting, the backrest cannot be lowered to less than 90 degrees.” – O. December 10, 2021, 4 stars

Portability

The Joie Tourist weighs 6.6 kilograms. It folds up quite easily and simply contracts to a compact size with the press of a button. Kindly note that you must be ready to remove almost everything from it, as anything in the storage compartment stops it from folding completely.

This stroller is so compact when folded that it not only leaves a ton of space in a car’s trunk, but it can also fit in the front or back footwell, giving it even more flexibility.

“We purchased this stroller because my wife must regularly take it upstairs to the second floor. She is pleased because it is light and little for that.” – R. February 26, 2021, 4 stars

“Additionally, this stroller works well for transportation underground without an elevator; all you need to do is fold it up and utilize the carry strap to make transporting your child easier.” – F. September 10, 2021, 4 stars

Maneuverability

Although the Tourist’s front wheels have locking mechanisms that help on difficult terrain, it doesn’t seem as solid on rocky or uneven ground compared to the more durable strollers because its wheels are relatively small.

“We had no issues maneuvering the stroller on rough surfaces and roads because it is incredibly light and durable, fits behind the seat in the car, and is very easy to use.” – O. December 10, 2021, 4 stars

“The stroller is incredibly simple to control. If you don’t want it to swing left or right, simply lock the front wheels, and it will move straight and smoothly, making it easy to control with one hand.” – F. September 10, 2021, 4 stars

Safety and Quality

The Joie Tourist could do well as a backup stroller simply because it isn’t as solid as some of its bigger competitors. Some parents think it isn’t as long-lasting.

Most well-known travel strollers are designed for toddlers up to 4 years old and 22 kg. This stroller is only intended for kids weighing up to 15kg, therefore it could not last as long.

“The stroller gets caught on the smallest incline on the pavement or stone because its front wheels are too shaky.” – D. November 21, 2020, 1 star

“It suffered damage in less than a month. Additionally, the seat does not sit upright, which appears to be uncomfortable.” – D. November 21, 2020, 1 star

Accessorize Your Joie Tourist

This stroller is quite fashionable and chic – the tan leather handle, oyster canopy, and padded grey seat all look great together. It’s a nice change from the numerous black strollers available.

Kindly note that it doesn’t come with a cup holder nor a child tray – these are sold separately and can be bought on online marketplaces.

“But it needs a drink holder! A feature that would allow me to push a stroller while drinking hot coffee with one hand would be ideal.” – L. September 13, 2021, 1 star

Should You Consider the Joie Tourist for Your Family?

Kindly note that the Joie Tourist is not available on Amazon.

The Tourist is a great option for families looking for a compact stroller that can be used everyday and during holidays. It folds compactly and eases into small spaces quite easily.

While its design is simple and not as modern as its counterparts, its price offers good value as it can help to see you through from the early months to toddler life and more.

It’s most suitable for families who are on a budget but want to get a stroller option that’s lightweight but also provides the functionality of a travel system. Its compact fold and featherweight frame could attract families who would like to have a backup stroller for travelling.

The Joie Tourist is an innovative stroller that provides parents with a lightweight and compact alternative. The stroller is designed with a one-hand fold feature that allows parents to quickly and easily collapse the stroller for storage or transport.

It boasts a multi-position reclining seat, adjustable calf support, and a water-repellant UPF 50+ canopy to protect your little one from the sun’s harmful rays. The stroller also comes with Joie’s SoftTouch safety harness, which means that the straps won’t be uncomfortable for your baby.

This lightweight stroller has adapters that allow for easy connection to car seats and carry cots for newborns, making it a great choice for busy families. It’s also compatible with Joie car seats, giving parents peace of mind that their baby is secure and comfortable.

The Joie Tourist is perfect for parents who are always on the go, as it can be folded up quickly and easily and stored in the boot of a car. Its compact design makes it easy to maneuver and navigate through busy streets.

Joie’s Tourist stroller is designed for parents who need an easy-to-use, lightweight stroller for everyday use. It features a lightweight aluminum frame, locking swivel wheels for easy maneuvering, and all-wheel suspension for a smooth ride on rough terrain.

Pact Lite vs Tourist

The Joie Pact Lite and the Joie Tourist have a similar weight, though the Pact Lite is half a kilo lighter. The Pact Lite weighs 5.5 kg, while Tourist weighs 6 kg.

If you want a stroller that can accommodate a car seat and a cot, the Joie Tourist is the right choice. It comes with adapters that easily connect to compatible Joie car seats and cots so you can create an efficient, safe, and comfortable travel system. However, the Pact Lite does not come with these adapters.

Overall, both strollers are compact, lightweight, and easily portable. They have similar features, such as a fully reclinable seat, adjustable handles, large baskets, and a UPF 50+ canopy. Both strollers are made for travel and can make short and long trips with your baby a lot easier.

However, the biggest difference between the two is that the Tourist can be used as part of a travel system because it’s compatible with Joie car seats and cots. If you don’t have much need for a travel system and you won’t be traveling with a car seat or cot, then the Pact Lite will work just fine for you.

What to look for in a travel stroller

When looking for a travel stroller for your baby or toddler, safety should be your primary concern. Look for a stroller that has a secure harness, as well as a secure locking system to keep your child safe and secure.

Other features to look for include a comfortable seat, storage space, adjustable handle bars, and a durable frame. Additionally, consider the weight and size of the stroller when folded, as this can make it much easier to transport.

Finally, look for a stroller with a sun canopy, which will provide protection from the sun’s rays and help keep your child cool. With all these features in mind, you can be sure to find a travel stroller that is both safe and comfortable for your baby.

Frequently asked questions

What stroller is best for traveling.

The Joie Pact Lite and the Joie Tourist strollers are both compact strollers with a lightweight but durable build. They’re great for going on long and short trips because they’re easy to set up and pack up.

Is getting a travel stroller worth it?

This depends on your lifestyle. If you travel a lot, or if you often go on day trips with your baby, then a travel stroller will make things a lot easier for you. It’s designed to fold up small and is thus easy to store, and it’s also lightweight so it won’t weigh you down during your adventures.

What is a compact stroller?

A compact stroller is typically smaller and built to be lighter in weight than full-size strollers. They’re also designed to be less bulky and easier to store.

When can a baby use a compact stroller?

Babies can use compact strollers from birth, as long as the seat can recline flat. Once your baby is around 3 months old and can hold their head up on their own, you can lift the seat’s backrest up to a more upright position.

Georgie says: "My boy cries when he’s in it because he can’t sit up straight" and gives the Joie Tourist 1

My boy cries when he’s in it because he can’t sit up straight.

• Light weight
• Folds up easily
• Feels like it’s going to fall to bits when you push it
• The seat isn’t upright, my little boy looks so uncomfortable in it
• The wheels are so small

I bought this pushchair to go on holiday with but it was a complete waste of money as my little boy hates it. He cries when he’s in it because he can’t sit up straight and he’s so uncomfortable. So I’ve now got to purchase another one.
