Joovy Groove Ultralight Umbrella Stroller

Jennifer C.

weeThink

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.

    • Fuquay-Varina, North Carolina

    I really don’t like this stroller. It’s overpriced. You can feel every single bump and my baby is not comfortable in it. I regret getting this. Jan 09, 2023

  • Tall harness to accommodate my tall LO. Pushes great. Easy fold. Grandparent approved. Tall push handles for tall parents Feb 15, 2021

    • Tara T.

    • Mehoopany, Pennsylvania

    I love this stroller. It goes well over all terrain. Cleans up very easily. Easy to unfold and fold. Great sun protection for baby and it reclines. Has a nice handy carry strap as well Dec 23, 2020

  • I bought this as a lighter option to our travel system stroller. My daughter loves it! I love how large the umbrella is and that it reclines completely flat. Perfect for naps! Apr 19, 2020

  • This is a bit pricey for a single stroller but such a great travel option! For an umbrella stroller it’s very sturdy. Large basket. Huge shade! Pushes easy and handles are higher than most Mar 05, 2020

  • I wanted to love this stroller but it didn’t work out for my toddler. I purchased it as a travel stroller and it doesn’t stay collapsed and my son never seems 100% comfortable in it Feb 13, 2020

  • Nice for traveling. Steering can be a little tricky at times and the cup holder on the handle tips over easily. Reclines better than most umbrella stroller. Sep 13, 2019

  • I wanted to love this but unfortunately the one I got Wouldn’t close easily! I actually returned it and the second did the same thing. So still looking for a good light weight stroller. Sep 04, 2019

    • Megan L.

    • Brentwood , California

    Our go to travel stroller. Out and about this stroller fits nicely in the back of our Pilot with plenty of storage space left over. Comfy for baby and easy to steer, lightweight and lots of shade Aug 22, 2019

    • Amy S.

    • Mount Airy, Maryland

    I have had no issues with this stroller. Has held up nicely for 2 kids so far. Lightweight but sturdy. The only thing I would change is the ease of reclining the seat back. Apr 13, 2019

  • This started as my travel stroller for my toddler and now its the only one we use. Easy to fold, easy to clean, GREAT sun shade, and like how you can just throw the shoulder strap on and go! Mar 01, 2019

  • This is the BEST everyday stroller! It is super lightweight and has all the features of a full size stroller! Has reclining position, huge sun canopy with window, and great storage! Very portable! Jan 14, 2019

  • So light and so comfortable for our kiddo! Really love the huge sun visor, and great customer support when our sun visor broke -- they put a replacement in the mail. Nov 05, 2018

  • 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

  • As a mom of 3 with a stroller addiction, it’s crazy to say ...but I love this. It may be my favorite (and most affordable) stroller! Surprisingly sturdy, seems comfortable, easy to use, great storage! May 21, 2018

    • Amber B.

    • Lake Charles, Louisiana

    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

    • Sara L.

    • United States of America

    I love this stroller because it is so light and compact, yet has a large enough basket underneath. I always use this to travel, and it is so convenient at the airport. Mar 30, 2018

  • Great travel stroller! Mar 26, 2018

  • It’s very compact easy to use. I love the color and how quickly I can open and put it away. Mar 20, 2018

  • My 8 month old loves this stroller and is happy when she gets to ride in it. We take this for traveling and to grandmas house as a second stroller. It’s light weight and easy to fold. Mar 09, 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.

    • Jacksonville, Florida

    I have this but haven't used it just yet. I got it to use while shopping when my baby gets a little older. I've heard great things! Sep 21, 2017

    • Tracy R.

    • Haddonfield, New Jersey

    Light weight, lays flat, seems comfortable. Wish canopy was bigger. Easy enough to close one handed, but takes practice. Aug 23, 2017

  • Decent umbrella stroller. The recline is very nice (naps at Disney World) but I wish the sunshade was better. It's pretty easy to open and close and very light weight. Jun 19, 2017

  • The Joovy Groove Ultralight has many features and is very light. The frame is very solid, the handles are at a nice height and are a comfortable grip, and is very compact. Jun 15, 2017

  • 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

  • This is a good umbrella stroller for travel and when you just need a simple and light stroller. It is very light, portable and easy to maneuver. Oct 23, 2016

  • Folds and stores amazing, phenomenal canopy. Storage is awful, can't fit my diaper bag. Push isn't great either, and I wish the seat sat up straighter, my son always looks awkward and uncomfortable. Oct 05, 2016

  • I absolutely love this stroller, it has held up nicely, is very light weight, and easy to fold up/unfold. I love the sun shade, storage space, and reclining option. Apr 26, 2016

  • I love the Joovy!! So easy to assemble, easy to fold and unfold, and I think my 15 month old is super comfortable with the leg rest that comes out! The extra big shade is so nice to have! Love it! Apr 22, 2016

  • LOVE it! SO easy to use. And we have the Jade color- it's beautiful:) Mar 04, 2016

  • it's lightweight and fits in my trunk perfectly! Jan 19, 2016

  • This is a great umbrella stroller. It's light but doesnt feel like it'll fall apart on you. The handlebars are comfy. I like the little extra features like the pockets and carrying strap. Nov 23, 2015

  • Love the extended canopy, and that it is so easy to fold with one hand. Sep 30, 2015

  • It is light, fast, and the storage is pretty great for such a small stroller. Cup holders and the small zip pouch on the back is A-Mazing May 01, 2015

  • This is a great lightweight stroller for taking on smooth surfaces. It's a bit bumpy on sidewalks for us, but very comfortable for our son. Apr 17, 2015

  • Haven't tested it yet, super easy to put together, collapse, expand. Has a zippered pouch for parents, 2 cup holders and is sturdy. Not the lightest umbrella stroller out there but doesn't feel like the frame will be destroyed. Jan 16, 2015

  • Love this stroller. Have had it for 5 years. Love that you can use it with a little baby because it can recline fully. Also love the large canopy!! Jan 16, 2020

  • I love this stroller! My husband even mentioned how much he enjoys this and he never talks about baby stuff. Easy to use and great features. Apr 20, 2019

    • Lea S.

    • Rock Port, Missouri

    Love this stroller! Lightweight, easy to fold up and assemble. The basket is huge and the canopy flap to see baby is so handy Aug 23, 2018

    • Julie R.

    • United States of America

    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

  • 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

  • Purchased this stroller over others bc of its reclining feature. It goes down much lower than most. Also, love the extra large canopy & basket for storage! Very light weight and easy to open/close. Sep 26, 2016

  • 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

  • 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
