Joolz aer+ compact travel buggy review: This stroller with a foldable carry cot has it all

A buggy was likely one of your most considered – not to mention extravagant – purchases for your baby, and you likely justified the eye-watering cost with the reassurance it would go everywhere with you.

You stood in the department store and pushed it over the mocked up display of fake grass and pavements to help you test the suspension. You watched how its wheels glided effortlessly over the bumps and you grinned with glee as you counted how many shopping bags you could shove into the extra-large storage basket. What you may not have factored in, however, was how easy it would be to take your 4x4 of a pram to far-flung places – or even on public transport. That’s where travel buggies come in.

These compact options are typically much lighter, of a plane. However, their smaller size often calls for compromises, such as smaller wheels that struggle over uneven surfaces and pared-back comfort.
