Pros
Parents say the Bugaboo Fox is lightweight and handles well on all terrains – and it’s comfortable and spacious for bub. A big plus is the accessory options, “like the cup holder, organiser bag and scooter for a toddler to ride on when you have two kids,” says one mum. The under basket is a really good size for a quick shop. Also, as one parent writes, “The bassinet comes with it and uses the same frame as the stroller seat, so you’re not left with a huge bassinet you’ve got to put away in storage.”
Cons
While parents say they would recommend this pram, some have said it was hard to put together despite watching videos – especially the fabric. “I highly recommend buying the version where all the fabric is put together for you,” writes one parent.
Example review
“I love this pram so much! It’s so smooth, and I have used it so much! Love the bassinet attachment so good for baby to sleep in when out and about and good for long visits. The pram is easy to fold down, and I’m not the strongest person, but I find the weight of it alright. I purchased the ‘classic’ look in grey, and it’s so stylish. Love how the canopy comes down with the extra stretch good to block out wind or the sun on a bright day. I also love that I can add on my car capsule for quick trips. Good storage – I can fit my baby bag at the bottom as well as some extra blankets and small shopping bags.”

Pros
Parents love how stylish this pram is. The adjustable height is also a plus for people on the taller side of life. Others say the ability to convert it into a double pram made this a winner. It also feels secure and sturdy.
Cons
The only con is that this pram is a little heavy, according to some parents. But they feel the sturdiness and quality are worth it.
Example review
“We bought this pram after a lot of research! We ultimately decided to go with the Joolz Geo 2 for a few of its key features: adjustable height (for my tall husband), ability to convert to a double pram, it’s all black colour and beautiful design. It folds down easily, however, is heavier than some other prams. In saying this, it is sturdy and quality made.”
