Product Description

The Stokke174; Xplory174; is the stroller that grows with you and your child! The adjustable seat means your baby can face you rather than away from you. This encourages eye contact and feelings of safety, security and unity: it8217;s the most comfortable position for a baby. Later the seat can be switched to face forwards so your growing child can begin to explore the world. Adjust the footrest downwards as your baby8217;s legs get longer and alter the seat depth with the padded seat insert to ensure your baby is always sitting comfortably. The Stokke174; Xplory174; has large rear wheels and sporty, easy-swivel front wheels, making it super simple to steer, even around the tightest city corners. The lack of a crossbar between the wheels leaves plenty of space for stretching your legs while walking and for even more child-safety the Stokke174; Xplory174; comes with an adjustable five-point harness.How would you like to spend your days at ground level, staring at other people8217;s feet? Adults often forget that children don8217;t always get to see the world from our lofty perspectives. Too often, they are pushed around town at the same height as our knees, out of touch with us and with the world around them. The unique height-adjustability of the Stokke174; Xplory174; allows kids to be raised to your level in safety and security, strengthening your bonds, promoting interactivity and encouraging all-important eye contact - while exploring the world together. And of course the Stokke174; Xplory174; meets all relevant international safety standards. Now just push, and go!

5.0 out of 5 stars Dream Stroller, April 26, 2009

By 

Jenne Alderks "jenneology" (Seattle WA 98105) - See all my reviews

When my son was a few months old, I realized just how stressful it must have been for him to be low to the ground, facing away from me while being pushed in his stroller down a busy street. I began wishing that a stroller existed that could adjust up and down and facing/away from a parent. I was so excited to find the Xplory, that it did exist. My hunch that babies could be stressed from the typical sitting arrangement of a stroller has even been verified by academic research. I love this stroller. The biggest drawback is the price: but I considered it a nod to the ingenuity of the designers and how unique it is. This stroller stands apart from all other strollers on the market. I am very impressed by its handling, quality of materials and adaptability.

I consider the carry cot as an unjustifiable expense because it is only functional for a short period of time in a baby's life and that period is when I'm most likely to be wearing the baby on my body for additional comfort and interaction. But once a stroller is the preferred method of travel for parent and child, the Xplory cannot be surpassed.

To others who covet this stroller as much as I did, I encourage you to keep searching for a good price. I finally got mine for $700 new (although it was a previous year's model).

5.0 out of 5 stars Best stroller, September 14, 2010

This review is from: Stokke Xplory Basic Baby Stroller in Olive (Baby Product)

My wife and I researched every stroller available back in 2007 when we were expecting our son. We probably test drove 25 strollers.

The reason we got the Xplory is because it has the highest baby seat. You can really put the baby up high so they are closer to you when walking. The child is at a the perfect height in restaurants so you don't need to use a high chair or swap the baby into a new seat.

I also really liked that you could go onto 2 wheels with the baby. This is great for stairs or escalators where a normal stroller becomes impossible (or irresponsibly dangerous). The Xplory is very maneuverable. You can turn it in a very tight circle and easily get around any obstacle.

The stroller also lasts through the whole life of your baby. As an infant there's an attachment to hold car seats. And our son rode in it until well into their twos. We figured it was better to buy one stroller that would work for infants and then toddlers.

We now have a newborn (September 2010) and the stroller still works very well. The cloth is a little faded, but it's great to be able to still use the stroller after 3+ years. We may end up buying a new cloth set anyway as we got blue for the boy and now maybe another color would be nice for a girl.

A few cons: the bassinet didn't really do much for us. Especially at the extra price, we only used it a few times while traveling and it is huge and hard to store. The big con is that the stroller is heavy and requires two hands to fold up. And even when folded takes up almost the entire trunk. It's big, but it has to be because of its sturdy construction.

1.0 out of 5 stars Unsafe product, Bad customer service!!!, February 24, 2009

I purchased Stokke Xplory less than a year ago. I dealt with inconvenience of disassembling and assembling every single time we went on a trip (because it does not fold down), basically because it 'looked good'. However, when one of the chassis part actually torn apart, it became a serious issue of safety. Having registered the product, I contacted customer service. They were very condescending, keep reiterating same answers, basically leading into circular conversation. The Gran finale was that one of their customer rep. hung up on me in the middle of conversation. This product is unsafe, inconvenient and has the worst customer service when it comes to repairing it.
