Thank you for the amazing review. 👍 It's absolutely true that in some countries, the Joie brand strollers, especially the Versatrax, are some of the 'better ones' to get your hands on, at least in the affordable price category. I guess for relatively average use in relatively standard urban and sub-urban environments that range from pavement, light gravel, cobblestones to grass, the Versatrax is a fine stroller for its price. I would not buy it if I expected it to perform like an Uppababy Ridge, but I would definitely buy it for a daily walk around the block or to the supermarket for about the first two years of my child's life. I would really love to see reviews and comparisons with Joie Aeria and Joie Finiti in the future, if only to see if Joie has improved some of the Versatrax's weak spots in the newer signature models.
The rickety handle is the worst part of this pram, and the suspension is pretty bad. But personally I love the fold more than anything else on the market because 1. It's one handed fold. 2. You don't need to bend over at all to fold it and 3. It can be folded in one piece in both parent and forward facing.
What dou think about joie litetrax 4 and pro? Are they sturdier than this one? And what about the seat height? I miss a mesh on the back for hot climates
Hi, not related to this video (sorry! 😅) but would you consider doing a review of the 2022 model of the Priam? I noticed your current one is of an older model and when speaking with friends a lot of the issues you mentioned (wobbly handlebar etc) seem to have been corrected. Do you have an opinion on this? We’re set on the cloud car seat and it seems logical to get the travel system as a number of local retailers have deals on for this but I don’t want to regret it!!
Wow, I am surprised at how unimpressed you are with this model. Lol. As someone living outside of Europe or America I always considered this stroller as somewhat premium. But as you mentioned quite importantly in your video, this stroller is a great option if you live in a country where the likes of Nuna and Uppababy are not available. And to be quite honest in many cultures around the world people don't use strollers as frequently as Europeans and Americans seem to. Practices like baby wearing are more common (I still frequently wear my 20 month old on my back). On the public transport we have here, you would rarely see a stroller, most moms babyware. Honestly, I can go weeks without using my stroller. So if you look at it from a perspective of a mom who is not so dependent on a stroller, then this stroller is as much premium as you need.
To be honest, I was shocked after watching the video. A very stable and durable stroller with a beautiful seat in which even a 3-year-old child can sleep comfortably; you criticized points that have nothing to do with a stroller. At the same time, you didn't mention the beautifully made seat cover, which is removed and put on after washing in 2 minutes. Outstanding wheels and maneuverability. The stroller is well suited for tall parents and has meager statistics on repair cases.
He talks about Silver Cross being not great in general, due to it's heavy weight, looseness, large size, and mediocre engineering. He recommends the UPPAbaby and Bugaboo brands over Silver Cross. Hope this helps!

With the same features as this stroller and price range, what other option would be better? Thank you

Spot on. I really regret buying it :/ But I bought it a year ago before the review. Had I know...
Could u pleaaase review the Joie Mytrax Pro 😊
Hi, will you review the Joie Aeria?
I saw this few days ago in the store, I really like the wheels but the overall features missed my list.

Do you have any plans to review any Valco strollers?
Not in the near future, but we do plan to look at them eventually. They aren't easily available here in Norway. :)
I was going to get this but can't get ovee the fact thet don't have the feet muff warmer attachments, ridiculous for cold countries

4 kilo basket. Nuff said 😂
Yeah true i am in love with this stroller
What about Joie signature Finiti? Seems to be a better version of the Versatrax.
I haven't seen it yet unfortunately, but it's on the list. :)
I would love to see what you think about the Silver Cross Dune :)
I’d rather hear about the Reef 😊
