Strolee has been a reputable brand of grocery carts and pet strollers for years. We have a pet stroller and frankly, our cat is absolutely obsessed with it and often sleeps in it around the house. Unsurprisingly, when the brand came up with Strolee Baby strollers it took TikTok by storm.
There’s also a new double side-by-side version of Strolee on the market that’s not only Disney-approved and car seat accommodating, but also insanely portable and lightweight for a double. It’s basically like the Nuna TRVL double BUT much cheaper and without the silly difference in seat widths.
Pros & Cons: Strolee Stroller Review
Age Range – 6 months to 50 pounds (25kg)
Stroller Weight – 13.7 pounds (6.2 kg)
Folded Size – 18.9 x 12.6 x 7.9 inches (48 x 32 x 20cm)
Maneuverability & Storage
Strolee is a solid, simple stroller with the biggest advantage of it being the canopy and fold. The basket underneath is a decent size with no bars or material blocking the access. Strolee also has a small pocket on the back of the seat, great for keys or tissues.
The break is unique to travel strollers as it’s not in the middle of the bar between the wheels. Strolee has a left-right brake that are color-coded. It also makes connecting the single to double stroller easier and accessing it from the side.
Seat Design
I have zero complaints about the seat of Strolee and the kids don’t complain either. The recline is as deep as it can be according to US standards for compact strollers – which is 147 degrees. It’s more than enough to rest during the nap.
Fold & Unfold
You can unfold and fold it with one hand. I never had the stroller get stuck during fold/unfold and I can’t say the same even about some of the expensive luxury travel strollers.
Strolee LINQ System
The LINQ system and ability to effortlessly connect two single strollers or one with a pet stroller is incredible. Honestly, if you live in a city and want to do grocery runs with a baby or toddler your only option is buying a giant heavy stroller just because of the big basket. With Strolee you can use the cart when you need it and enjoy the lightweight stroller when you don’t need to drag shopping (or pet) with you.
My kids aged 3 & 5 had plenty of space in their strollers in a double version with the older one sitting behind. I didn’t see his legs being squished and he could peak out and see just fine as well.
You do need to wiggle the stroller out of the LINQ system, but it’s not a big deal. The only con in my opinion is that the linking bars can fall out of the pouch when the stroller is folded, so I wish there was a strap holding them tighter together.
Strolee vs Zoe
Strolee is very similar to Zoe Tour stroller, as they both can expand to a tandem (Zoe now only offers Tour as an extension to their Twin, not another Tour though). The recline is deep on both and the materials are of good quality and without flame retardants on either.
If you compare Zoe Traveler with Strolee then it puts the Zoe model slightly at an advantage, as it’s a bit smaller in fold and might fit in an overhead bin while the chance of Strolee fitting is less likely.
