This stroller is the absolute best stroller out there!

We purchased the Stokke Xplory when our son was born, in August of '08, and have been extremely happy with it. We are now using it for our daughter- we never took a break from using it.
My husband and myself are both the oldest of large families, so we really know about babies and the products that are out there. Because of it's steep price, we thought long and hard before we purchased the Xplory. And- It was the best decision we have ever made.

First- it is the only stroller that is able to have the baby at a normal, easily reachable height. This is an extremely important factor not only for parent-child bonding as advertised, but even for parental sanity! Taking care of a baby is back-breaking work. Literally. All the bending down, and lifting up. For some reason, all other strollers/prams have the baby located pretty close to the ground. This was always something that frustrated us- why should we...

I absolutely love my Stokke Xplory Stroller, and so does my precious little daughter, Pippa Nickel. I tried many other strollers before settling on the Stokke, but I found that with other brands my child and I were too often confused with common people. Even the Bugaboo did not state to the public "I bathe my feet in the milk of a giant panda" as much as I had hoped, and my wet-nurse had a terrible time pushing it.

I was immediately smitten with the Stokke Xplory's excessive use of Ks and fashionable reticence toward initial Es. It envelops little Pippa in a cloud of Scandinavian elegance, and every time I rely on its maneuverability to dodge the riffraff playing with their hideous plastic toys at the park, I know I made the right choice.

I purchased the Stokke for my daughter when she was about 5 months old. I wanted a front facing stroller that's high up so I can interact with her when we go for walks - and the Stokke was perfect for that. So let me list the Pros and Cons from my experience with this stroller.

Pro:

This is a unique stroller - you will def get compliments and looks everywhere you go. If Bugaboos are the Cadillacs, then the Stokke is the Rolls Royce of strollers.
The navigation is great and it's a smooth ride - perfect for walks in the park - grocery shopping. You can easily push with one hand and adjust the handle for taller or shorter users.

I didn't really use the carry cot (bassinet) because my daughter was already sitting up by the time we got this but I wish I had this when she was born. We had one of those travel system strollers and she was always in the car seat and I really wish at the time I had those flat stroller so if you are getting this for a... Read more
