It’s so disappointing that the Australian version doesn’t have more of recline. I purchased it thinking it did because I watched reviews from the us/Europe. Wish I saw your video before hand.
It is a bit of a shame. Though I've since been given the feedback from someone who had the original Aer, upgraded to the Aer+ EU version and they said they feel like it's unstable when the seat is fully reclined, and regret the decision. So I thought that was interesting. And the tricky thing with the premium travel strollers (like Yoyo/Bugaboo etc) the weight distribution sits further back over the rear wheels to give the smoother pushing experience, which you'd expect from a premium stroller. But then they can't have a full recline (in Australia at least) So there's always a compromise.
Hi there, thanks for the review. I just wanted to check on the leg rest for the Joolz Aer + and if the new model can fold down with the leg rest attached or not? Thank you
Hi there! Yes the Joolz Aer and Aer+ can fold with the leg rest attached and the Aer+ leg rest is compatible with both models. I have a separate video where I go through what accessories are compatible between the two models if that helps -
Hi Laura thanks for the comment. Unfortunately in Australia, NZ and I believe the USA the recline mechanism is still the zip and strap recline and only a semi-recline. Whereas so far UK, Europe and Korea have the full recline and the updated recline latch/clip mechanism.
The Joolz Aer/Aer+ has quite a tall seat. Approximately 55cm backrest and 62cm maximum height under the hood. The main limitation with any lightweight compact stroller will be their leg length once they're getting to preschool+ age if they can stretch their legs down to touch the ground. But you'll get as long out of the Joolz Aer as any other stroller. I hope that helps. - Rachel
The Joolz Aer/Aer+ (in Australia) only has a semi recline so is approved from 6+ months. The main concern with newborns in a semi upright position is the potential for babies head to flop forward which can compromise their airway. I think there's some discretion with that guideline, but personally I wouldn't suggest it for a 3month old.
Hi Thomas, I think around 5+ months is where you could start to use your discretion as a parent about your child and their stage/development, because every baby does develop differently. Being very mindful the safety standard around a seat being 6month+ is the potential risk of baby's head flopping forward. So it wouldn't be a decision to be made lightly. I would also personally be hesitant to allow an infant to fall sleep in the seat even 6-9months. Again, depending on size/development etc I hope that helps make that decision easier?
Hi Precilla, the Aer+ bumper bar will fold with the Joolz Aer. I've listed in the comments what Aer+ accessories fit the Aer and vice versa. Hope that helps!
Hi Maura, thats weird. Can I ask if that was Joolz Australia or another country? I'd actually shot an accessories video on Friday because I've been getting so many questions about the Joolz Aer+ / Aer accessories because of the confusion about what accessories fit which stroller. But then I got your comment yesterday so I've edited bumper bar into its own separate video, so you don't have to watch through a whole thing to see the Joolz Aer+ bumper bar fold on the Joolz Aer - ua-cam.com/video/Jg4rl7FGIh0/v-deo.html
Unfortunately that update isn't available in Australia due to differences in our safety standards. But yes, in the global market there's a new recline mechanism and it will recline further.
I agree, the full recline is the biggest update for the overseas model Aer+ That's why the recline is the first thing I show in this video because it's important anyone buying in Australia understands there's been no change to the recline for the Australian model.

Hay will like to know what kind of car seat I work with hooks air+
Thank you for the video
Depends on what country you're in. In Australia Infasecure adapt more, Cybex Cloud Q, Nuna klik.

The joolz aer + does recline more there's a clip at the back

Will this stroller be suitable for a tall child?

Is this suitable for a 3 months baby? We are travelling soon and we have a day 3 Joolz but it’s quite spacious ….

What about at 5 month old?
Hi Thomas, I think around 5+ months is where you could start to use your discretion as a parent about your child and their stage/development, because every baby does develop differently.

Do you know if the new foldable bumper bar will fold when attached to the original Aer?
Hi Precilla, the Aer+ bumper bar will fold with the Joolz Aer. I've listed in the comments what Aer+ accessories fit the Aer and vice versa. Hope that helps!
And I've made some additional notes to make it a bit clearer that it will fold with either stroller (and any other updates with the accessories)
Thanks for sharing this! I emailed Joolz and they claimed it wouldn’t fold with the Joolz aer. I just placed my order! 😊

@@ParentingCentral thank you so much! I’m in the USA!! You’re the first person to post a video addressing the bumper bar! Thank you!!!!
The joolz air+ can recline father. There is an clip in the backpocket that allows for full recline
Unfortunately that update isn't available in Australia due to differences in our safety standards.

The biggest difference is the recline and thats the one thing that wasnt shown
I agree, the full recline is the biggest update for the overseas model Aer+
