However the cons outweight the pros, the biggest one being that it is poorly built of very cheap plastic. It is not a sturdy stroller, don't get fooled by the price, expensive doesn't mean high quality. The learning curve is steep, it takes ages to figure out what each of the white buttons are for and the instruction booklet is not helpful at all. You must buy Stokke only accesories, like the diaper bag which is another $100 because no other diaper bag can be used with the Xplory (no place to store or hang it). We also bought the $100 travel bag, and it turned out to be just a large plastic bag. No padding, no protection for the stroller, no special compartments to place the different items (chassis, seat, foot rest, etc..), and, not meant for air travel. Except the air travel part wasn't mentioned anywhere, and we found out the hard way when our...Read more 17 of 21 people found the following review helpful: By Jano (Spain) - See all my reviews This review is from: Stokke XploryŽ Complete Stroller- Black (Baby Product) This was the first stroller we bought for our baby, but we no longer use it due to several design flaws that turned out to be deal-breakers. First the good stuff: The height of the child seat or bassinet (they call it the "baby bag") is wonderful for a variety of reasons. The stroller is quite stable despite the height of the seat. The stair climbing feature - the rear wheels fold under -is great. The optional bag that sits on the lower platform (spare seat?) is very useful. Great for putting heavy things in while going shopping. The stroller can double as a child seat in restaurants. Easy to remove and wash fabric parts. Good warranty service. Now the bad: My main point - the design of the stroller around the single aluminum support beam has created some design limitations that they have had to work around, and their workarounds are not very good in many cases. The Baby Bag is too short, and the cutout for the beam makes it even shorter practically. Our...Read more 4 of 4 people found the following review helpful: This review is from: Stokke XploryŽ Complete Stroller- Black (Baby Product) This pram is great in many ways. The height is perfect, it keeps baby up close to you. I have the attachment for my Prego car seat and I just pop the car seat in and my daughter is at eye level so she can keep an eye on me & I can get to her easily! The pram is very easy to push, I can operate it with one finger, when needed. It has great turning radius and the adjustable handle works well when pulling up to tables, etc. I really enjoy the clean look, as do many people that stop me everywhere we go and ask about it, it's quite an eye catcher. I like the different options for the seat with the baby bag, and the forward or rear facing seat options, especially since it can be used as a seat in restaurants and I don't have to worry about a highchair. But now that we are using the seat part more and leaving the car seat in the car, I notice more drawbacks. The center bar seems to get in the way at times when my baby is rear facing, she is always kicking the bar with her feet. The...Read more |
