what parents are saying
This was my go to stroller when traveling when I only had my oldest. Super easy to use and so much saved space. I'd recommend to any parent on the go. (Jan 27, 2018)

As one of the lighter umbrella strollers on the market, parents love that the carry strap for the Joovy is such that you to carry it perpendicular to your body (so it doesn’t slam into the back of your knees!) The peekaboo window on the top of the canopy, a zippered pocket in the back to stash your keys and phone, and the mesh cup holders for parents and tots, are awesome included features. Parents also rave about Joovy’s customer service.
The catch: Some wish that the ride were a little smoother.

Not a fan of the Joovy Groove stroller. We got it for traveling and Disneyland trips. While it is lightweight the sunshade is useless and cup holder kept falling off. Don’t waist your money. Nov 03, 2018

The wheels get stuck and are plastic so some terrains are hard to push on. Jun 11, 2018

- Amber B.

I researched umbrella stroller for months before purchasing the Joovy Grooce Ultralight. Pros- the side cup/toy/snack holders on either side of the seat. Con- it doesn’t turn hardly at all 1 handed. Apr 26, 2018

I researched many travel strollers and ended up with this one based on how easy it is to collapse and set up. It can be done easily while holding a baby and diaper bag. Con is the storage isn't great. Mar 01, 2018
- Kate W.
Anaheim, California
I really like this. It can be a pain to fold/unfold sometimes (not nearly as easy as my others) but the cupholder is great, it's easy to push one handed, and it fully reclines for my tiny guy. Oct 24, 2017
- Mary S.

Great sunshade and kid pockets. Easy to open/close and light. Poor storage space and parent cupholder is a joke. Unable to steer 1 handed. I will say that Joovy has amazing customer service! Jun 12, 2017

I was deciding between this and the UppaBaby G-Luxe, but a sale won me over. Overall, it's a sturdy stroller that is easy to carry. The storage is hard to access, and it's hard to one hand steer. Mar 09, 2018

- Catie D.

Great for traveling. Collapses nicely. Tricky to collapse one handed and in flip flops but it's great and a great price! Also love that seat can be adjusted and kids are able to lay down completely! Aug 23, 2016

Good stroller, but found it a bit more challenging to open than other brands of comparable caliber and design. Jan 20, 2016
- Corynne O.
Westford, Massachusetts
Very easy to use, nice big bin for storage, the cup holder is so-so, but very comfortable for my son and nice big canopy. Fully reclines and much cheaper than the UppaBaby G-Luxe. We are very happy! Jun 17, 2014
