The biggest difference between Stokke™ Xplory™ and other strollers is that Stokke™ Xplory™ lifts your child higher off the ground. Sitting low down in an ordinary stroller your child is more exposed to city dust, exhaust fumes and heat from the pavement. Stokke™ Xplory™ is designed around a central bar that like a spinal cord carries every feature on this stroller; the wheels, the seat, bag. This makes the stroller easy to open and operate or fold and store away. Stokke™ Xplory™ is ideal to take into a restaurant or coffee bar. The diagonal frame makes it easier to place the stroller close to the table, so it’s not intrusive in any way. The seat is adjustable so your child can sit up at the table. |

Just not impressed...

I wanted a Stokke XPlory for ages. It was the first stroller I admired and lusted after in all the baby shops. It took me two years and several other prams to let me realise the dream and own one, and it didn't live up to my expectations.It might be trendy, it might be pretty but I just don't see how it's useful. I'm tall (5'11) but it even the extra height wasn't an advantage a Bugaboo Cammy or Quinny Buzz couldn't give me. Sure, it can be used as a highchair but the Cammy can do the same thing if you take off the bumper.
The worst thing about it for me was the length- so so long! At times it felt like I was steering a tank or long tandem pram.
Pros
Good colours and range of accessories availableAsthetically appealing
Footmuff is very cosy
Everyone knows it's a prestigous pram
Cons
Long!Handle is awkward to hold and gets really cold in winter- I miss foam!
New textile sets are really expensive.
The basket holds alot but it's no good for boxes or drinks the way some baskets are.
It doesn't do anything that a Bugaboo or Quinny can't do- why the higher price tag?

We are happy with our Stokke Xplory.Pros
It's great to have the baby at your level when sitting at a table. It's easy to keep him engaged and happy. Good for my tall husband. Fits in the boot of smaller car. Two wheel mode for stairs is good too.Cons
We don't think it handles our broken inner city footpaths very well. Great on smooth surfaces but we take it really easy going over all the bumps.Fabulous!

The Stokke has fab build quality, handles like a dream, is extremely comfortable, perfect from birth, and ideal for tall & heavy toddlers. It is perfect for sociable babies as you can eat out without the need for a highchair, which we love. Our son loves being able to see so much & is obviously very happy in it. We use other buggies for beach holidays (Micralite Toro/Maclaren Techno)as it is rather large & heavy but does have a sturdy travel bag & is great for City Breaks! Have not used on the tube but is fine on a bus or in a Black Cab!Pros
Height of seat/carry cot, Flixble seat positions, Comfort, Shopping Bag, Smooth Ride, So easy to push & turn!Cons
Quite heavy
