Joie Mirus stroller review

Summary - I give this stroller a 5/5, I love it. It's perfect for keeping in your car for trips to the shops/mall/supermarket. I bought it because of the reversible handle and being really lightweight. Maybe not the most suitable for offroading and rough terrain use, although I didn't use mine extensively on rough terrain so I can't tell you for sure how long it would last long-term if you used it a lot on rough terrain.
Good points:
- Lightweight (7.5kg) and folds up easily to fit in a small car
- Big oversize hood
- Bar at the front flips up to get baby/child in or out easily
- 5-point harness with padded straps on shoulders and crotch
- Removable head support
- Multiple recline positions and lies almost flat
- Foot rest has multiple positions
- Swivels on front wheels which you can lock if you want
- Brakes are easy to use with one foot (forgot to mention this in the video)
- Reversible handle so you can have the child facing towards or away from you, handy for when walking into the sun - you can face them away from the sun
- Has a wrist safety strap
- Good sized storage basket underneath
- Has a perfectly fitting raincover
Not so good points (but I'm happy to live with these):
- Hood has no viewing window
- Shoulder pads on harness slide off easily
- When in reverse mode (child facing you) the swivel wheels become the back wheels so it's not as easy to manoeuvre
- If you're tall you may kick the wheels when in reverse mode because the length of the handle is a bit shorter in reverse mode
- Storage basket is awkward to reach when the backrest is all the way down
- When the backrest is all the way down and it's in reverse mode and it's windy, the wind can push the hood in so it flaps in over the baby's head - I fixed this by safetypinning velcro strips on the hood and the backrest to keep them stuck together

Thanks for a brilliant review you've covered all the important points that one should look for when choosing a stroller.

Great product, easy to clean -worked out great !

[@MissJClaytonPH]

Thank you so much, this review really helps super Mum!!! xx

[@thecyberprincess]

You're welcome! The only other review I had found before making this video was a video that was just about the features of the stroller and nothing about the good and bad about it. I wanted to make a video that was more useful and that covered bad points as well as good points so people could make a more informed decision if they wanted to buy it. I still love mine and my daughter is now 23 months.

Thanks for this video I'm considering buying this for my son. The reason I'm looking at this one is for the parent facing option. Would you say it's really hard to move in this position? Thanks

[@thecyberprincess]

I don't find it hard to push in the parent facing position. In this position, the swivel wheels are closest to you and the non-swivel wheels are furthest away so it's not as easy to turn. But it didn't take me long to get used to - you just turn it from the end closest to you. If you are tall you might find you accidentally kick your feet against the wheels closest to you when in the parent facing position. I'm 5ft 1 and only kicked them occasionally.

[@nareshlal3694]

Is there a cover available for it when folded just in case we r travelling on a flite.....

[@thecyberprincess]

I don't know I'm sorry. I didn't see anything about one in the user manual or in the store I bought it from. Maybe you could find a universal stroller cover that fits most strollers?

[@brookehoyle245]

I've had this pram for a year and I still can't find the breaks! Do they have breaks? X

[@bitch220792]

My break is on the bar

[@thecyberprincess]

Yes they're the big red plastic things on the wheels. You press them down and up with your foot.

[@Hafsa1507]

i find the handle is too high for me even though i am 5ft 5 can this be put down or no

[@thecyberprincess]

No, I can't make my handle shorter.

[@nuzhasulaiman8045]

is this hard to manruver when it is backfacing?

[@thecyberprincess]

I don't find it hard to manoeuvre, I just swivel the wheels closest to me instead of the wheels furthest from me. It took a bit of getting used to but it wasn't a major concern for me.

[@reyankapoddar7696]

Which one minus model is this?

[@thecyberprincess]

Sorry, I'm not sure what you mean?

[@kanzaa2390]

Hi sweety.. i have the same pram fir 2 years now and i would like to know how can we clean the cover sit plz. Im struggling .

[@thecyberprincess]

I've never had to clean my stroller so far, my daughter doesn't make much of a mess in it. But I pulled out the instructions for it and it says "Removable seat pad may be washed in cold water and drip-dried. No bleach. To clean stroller frame, use only household soap and warm water. No bleach or detergent."

[@kanzaa2390]

@@thecyberprincess thks for your reply .👍

[@sangeetharaman89]

Can I use it for my new born??

[@thecyberprincess]

Yes, I used it when both my kids were newborn.

[@donnamariewilson117]

Has anyone had trouble opening? Mines stuck

[@thecyberprincess]

Mine's still going ok but I don't use it much these days because my 2 year old wants to walk everywhere!

[@LORDUnLuCkY13]

Where is the Brakes?

[@thecyberprincess]

The brakes are the red foot pedals - there's one on each swivel wheel and one on the non-swivel wheels which works as the brake for both non-swivel wheels.

[@UktiJuma]

How is the moveability when there is a baby in there? I'm struggling to find a lightweight one that moves smoothly and easily without a struggle. Thanks

[@thecyberprincess]

It's easy to move with the baby in there. My daughter is now about 11kg (24 pounds) and aged 22 months and it moves just as smoothly as it did when she was a newborn when pushing her facing both directions.

[@amitalokhande9454]

Hello. I have same but it loos very small. What is the maximum age and weight it can accomodate.

[@thecyberprincess]

The user manual says it's suitable from birth to 36 months, or under 15kg (33lb).

[@nareshlal3694]

Upto 17 kg

[@ayshaa6318]

Amita Lokhande how is the stroller

[@olufunkematthew1652]

Can one travel with it. Does it fit into d airplane

[@thecyberprincess]

I haven't taken it on a plane. You would probably have to check it in, rather than bring it into the passenger cabin. I think it would be the same with any stroller.
