Joolz Aer2 with nest to seat review

The Joolz Aer2 with nest to seat solves a common complaint about travel strollers: most face forward only. This version starts with a protective newborn nest, then transforms into a parent-facing seat, so your baby can face you up to 33 lbs. Joolz puts the stroller at 14.3 lbs, includes a shoulder strap, and says it folds with one hand in a few seconds to 20.4 x 15.7 x 8 in, a size it calls airplane approved. The basket holds up to 17.6 lbs, which is generous for a compact stroller, and all fabrics are made from recycled PET bottles. The Aer2 won a Red Dot Award in 2025. Register within 6 months and the 2-year warranty becomes a 10-year transferable warranty. The downsides are the 33 lb limit, small wheels for pavement only, and a $768 price that is higher than the YOYO5 seat version.
