What's included with the Joolz Aer 2
The Joolz Aer 2 includes a transport bag, different from the previous model, the Joolz Aer+. However, it's important to note that this bag is only for storing the stroller. For checking it into airplane cargo, a more robust transport bag will need to be purchased as an accessory.
It opens with just one movement and is ready to use in seconds, making the process much more practical for daily use.
Furthermore, the model already comes with several essential accessories. It includes a footrest in the same color as the seat, a higher handlebar (106 cm), a shopping basket, an XL canopy, seat, chassis, and travel bag.
On the other hand, the adjustment system has been significantly improved. Whereas before it was necessary to use buckles, now it's done simply by using handles located at the bottom. To complete this, the backrest width is adjusted with a discreet button under the seat, making adjustment much more practical and intuitive.
Folding, Dimensions and Seat of the Joolz Aer 2
The Aer 2 folds quickly with one hand, just press a button, lower the handle, and the stroller automatically locks. Furthermore, once folded, it has very compact dimensions — 53 cm high, 43 cm wide, and 23 cm deep — ensuring its compatibility with most airplane cabins, thus meeting the required homologation.
Next, the seat stands out, still using recycled fabrics, but with a more ergonomic design. Unlike previous models, the seat is not completely vertical, featuring a slight recline and greater depth in the hip area to ensure correct posture for the baby and prevent slipping.
Additionally, the seat fully reclines, offering three different recline positions, increasing comfort across various stages. It is designed to accommodate a newborn reducer, facilitating adaptation from the very first days.
The Aer 2 Stroller includes an XL canopy with UPF50 sun protection, effectively shielding the baby without hindering ventilation, ensuring comfort even on intense sunny days.
Finally, the seat dimensions are: 54 cm in length, 35 cm in depth, and 39 cm in width. These dimensions allow the stroller to accommodate the child's growth until about 4 years of age, ensuring long-term durability and comfort.
Joolz Aer 2: Brake, Basket, and Suspension Wheels
The Joolz Aer 2 maintains an easy-to-use brake and release, even for those wearing closed-toe shoes. Additionally, it offers a larger basket with an 8 kg capacity, ideal for carrying baby essentials. The faux leather handlebar has been retained, but is now positioned higher for greater comfort for taller individuals.
The front bar of the Joolz Aer 2 has been redesigned and is higher for greater comfort for taller people. Additionally, it offers more legroom, preventing kicks while pushing.
On the other hand, the wheels have also been improved: the front wheel is 14 cm in diameter and the rear is 15 cm, all with suspension for greater comfort and ease of pushing, surpassing the previous model.
Another highlight is the new front bar attachment system, which allows it to be assembled and disassembled by pressing a single button on one side.
Joolz Aer 2: Colors, Bassinet, and Infant Car Seat Compatibility
The Joolz Aer 2 is available in six colors, offering options for all tastes. However, this model is only compatible with the Joolz Aer 2 bassinet, which will only be launched at the end of August or September 2025. It's important to note that the bassinets from the previous model, Joolz Aer+, are not compatible with the Aer 2.
Furthermore, the exclusive Aer 2 bassinet promises to be easier to install and offers several advantages, such as a breathable mattress, an extendable canopy for sun protection, and a higher position from the ground to facilitate parent access to the baby. It comes equipped with an easy-to-clean structure and a practical opening to close it alongside the stroller.
For babies from 0 to 6 months, the bassinet is the most recommended accessory, ensuring a healthy sleeping position. However, the stroller supports infant car seats from various brands (BeSafe, Cybex, Maxi-Cosi, Nuna, Joie, Britax Römer), although it is not ideal to use them for long periods.
On the other hand, the Joolz Aer 2 bassinet offers a comfortable and safe space for the baby, measuring 78 cm in length by 29.5 cm in width. Finally, parents can easily remove and reattach the bassinet, and the stroller folds compactly with the bassinet attached, standing upright for easy storage.
Conclusion – Is it worth it or not?
The Joolz Aer 2 is available for €469 and includes a footrest, plus it comes with a 10-year warranty when registered on the official website. This ultra-compact stroller stands out for folding and unfolding with one hand, having a long seat, and suspension that offers superior comfort to most models in the same category.
While it doesn't match the comfort of larger strollers (XL, L, or S), the Aer 2 rivals many S-sized strollers, combining lightness (8 kg) and practicality in an all-in-one model. Additionally, for those looking to save, the previous version, Joolz Aer+, is still available on promotion, also maintaining the 10-year warranty and excellent value for money.
Thus, the Aer 2 is a worthwhile choice for those looking for an ultra-compact, functional, and comfortable stroller. To clear up any doubts, you can come and test it with us soon.
