The concept:
With its brushed aluminium chassis and oval-shaped seat frame, the look of this buggy is reminiscent of certain other desirable buggies on the market, but don’t let that put you off as this has plenty to offer, in terms of both style and practicality.
First, the chassis: as it’s aluminium it’s light and strong; it’s also easy to fold and has an adjustable handlebar, all-round wheel suspension, quick-release wheels and lockable front swivel wheels for optimum manoeuvrability.
The key point here is that the seat fits high on the chassis (a little like the Stokke Xplory), which means your baby has a bird’s eye view of his surroundings, not to mention being at optimum height when you stop for a bite to eat.
As both seat and carrycot can face in or out, it will also garner the approval of the National Literacy Trust as they campaign for parents to have their babies facing inwards to improve communication and reduce baby’s stress levels.
For newborns there’s a lie-flat carrycot to protect your baby’s delicate spine, while the seat has three recline positions, all of 
which can be achieved without disturbing your child. The hood offers plenty of protection from the elements, and there’s a pocket in the back of the seat unit to store a few essentials. The basket underneath isn’t huge but it has a cover to keep dirt away from your stuff – a great idea.
Flexible style to suit your tastes:
What sets the seat and carrycot apart is that you don’t have to choose the same colour for each, so you can create a whole new look – and if you want to be really bold, choose an optional footmuff in a contrasting colour. As well as smart black, there’s a choice of bold, jewel-like colours, so whatever you choose you’re sure to stand out from the crowd.
And if you want a travel system, no worries, as the Primo Viaggio is compatible with the chassis.
At £625, Joolz is quite an investment, but if you want a top quality, great-looking buggy that will take you from birth through the toddler years, this could be a good choice.
