Joolz Hub, An Impartial Review: Mechanics, Comfort, Use

In order to keep our recommendations up to date, we maintain a 'Buyer's Guide' (with a wide spectrum of models, and a lot of technical and lifestyle-related information). Organizing our recommendations this way makes it easier to include good models that we haven't made review-videos for yet, as well as to remove models which have developed unforeseen wear-issues over time, or which have been weakened by the manufacturer in their current iterations. You can access the guide (in addition to our 4-part video series on Choosing the Right Stroller for your Lifestyle, and other helpful content) on Patreon: / stroller-buyers-37953864
These materials are also available via channel membership on KZbin: / @barnevognverkstedno , and BuyMeaCoffee: buymeacoffee.com/thestrollerw...
In this video we take a close look at the Joolz Hub, explaining the advantages and disadvantages of its design in relation to comfort, functionality, engineering, longevity and optimal use.

I love this stroller! I have stunning silver and I watched this video 100x and I feel like I made the right decision.

[@sophiabruem5851]

Is it suitable for newborn out of the box, or do you need to get the newborn cocoon/bassinet/car seat adaptors for it?

[@mrmastermood2456]

Which one is better (walking and folding) Joolz Hub or Nuna Triv?

[@annpinay9759]

Hi! I enjoy watching all your videos ☺️ May I ask if between Joolz Hub and Uppababy Cruz, which would be more ideally for a toddler (15months old)? We walk alot and sometimes take public transportation.. please note that we already have a Babyzen Yoyo that we love but I'm looking at a pram with a parent facing option. :) Thanks!

[@gl9088]

Thank you for your in-depth reviews. I’ve been watching your reviews over and over for the past few months. Would you do a comparison between the Joolz Hub and Bugaboo Lynx or Fox? I’m looking for a mid-size stroller with the functionality of a full size stroller. I live in a suburban area so I need very good tires but am also often in and out of the car so I need it to be compact enough for the trunk. I’m considering the Hub, after watching your reviews on repeat. But I do like the ease of push that Bugaboo offers. Bugaboo is extremely easy to maneuver and takes minimal effort. Compact strollers are light and good for in and out of the car, but I find them too flimsy, which is why I want a mid-compact-full size. I appreciate your insight.

[@marianelin391]

Thanks for the review. The hub looks and seems to work great, but it's very heavy. Any thoughts on the Larktale Coast?

[@BarnevognverkstedNo]

I haven't seen it, unfortunately, doesn't seem to be available here in Norway :)

[@artejdadoda4826]

Hello, how big in cm is the Sportseat in Sleepposition ?

[@matejamihaljevickristo8360]

Your reviews are really helpful! Would you recommend this over the Uppababy Cruz V2?

[@BarnevognverkstedNo]

Thanks :) Depends a lot on your conditions and needs.

[@ekaterinakanat-alexander9581]

Considering buying Hub Plus. Do you know if the seat is a little angled, like the baby’s butt will be lower than his knees? Like in Bee6?

[@BarnevognverkstedNo]

Hi everybody, There's been a lot of talk lately about 'Greenwashing,' which is the process by which businesses promote their products as 'sustainable', 'eco-friendly' and so on, while in actual fact, their manufacturing processes and business models clearly show this to be nothing more than a marketing ploy. As soon as I heard about this concept (and even that several major companies have been penalized for it), I realized that this practice really defines the approach of virtually every major manufacturer in the stroller industry.

[@irene6953]

Thank you for this. Would you recommend this for urban buggy than the bugaboo fox?

[@BarnevognverkstedNo]

It's nice, but I still like the Fox better - bigger seat, bigger wheels :)

[@miamaras8951]

Thx for all your reviews! Can you please review iCandy Lime? :-)

[@imaclover1428]

I’m looking for a stroller with a lay-flat seat like this, but with the great suspension of Bugaboo (and available in the US). Do you have any recommendations?

[@cwilson9528]

What about cybex strollers

[@zainabimam87]

Hi team TSW! Your reviews are SO great. I didn't even know about Joolz Hub and now it's my top choice. I was set on the Uppababy Cruz V2. I was wondering which one you'd recommend -- Cruz or the Hub+. I live in a city and often use the stroller on non-even terrain plus parks, we take public transport all the time, and don't drive but use Ubers. Currently using a Doona but our baby is now a year old and going to outgrow it soon. I'd be amazed if you see this message but would love your take. THANK YOU!

[@kewwikiwi]

What did you end up with??

[@zainabimam87]

@@kewwikiwi the Joolz, and haven’t regretted it once!

[@roxyo8477]

Thanks for your review! Is this the same as the plus? How would you compare/recommended the joolz hub plus vs the yoyo2?

[@BarnevognverkstedNo]

The changes between the Hub and Hub+ are minimal, so everything here applies. :) The Hub+ is better as an everyday stroller, the Yoyo2 is more for travel, keeping in the trunk, or if you have a lifestyle with minimal stroller use and the need too carry your stroller alot (like riding a lot of suways f.ex.) :)

[@unoriginalcyn]

Is it worth getting the Hub+? As far as I can tell, they've added an led light and the dimensions are slightly different but I can't tell what else has changed.

[@BarnevognverkstedNo]

Very little has changed (hence the reason that we're slow on doing an updated review) - just these things you've mentioned and a slightly lighter weight. If you can still get the original for less, then the changes aren't worth paying more, imo. :)

[@tiyebuot]

Would accessories like the joolz xl shopping bag work on the cameleon 3?

[@BarnevognverkstedNo]

The Cameleon 3 has a very weak central locking mechanism. I would avoid putting extra weight of any sort on the handle at all (other than the cup-holder). For real, I'm not kidding. Cameleons that have broken as a result of overloaded handles have been our bread and butter for years.

[@tamaragobo5213]

I'm considering the Joolz hub or Bugaboo Bee. Fox is beautiful but too expensive for me. Originally wanted to go for Stokke beat but decided against it after seeing your review. We have a 4-month old (so it is important for the seat to be able to go into flat position and both facing the parent and outside), live on the 5th floor (no elevator, so we need a lightweight stroller), have a large dog (so not much space in the bunker for a big stroller) , we do not live in the city so it is important that the wheels are sturdy, and would not like to spend over 700 EUR. Thanks for your advice, it would be much appreciated!

[@BarnevognverkstedNo]

I would definitely recommend the Hub over the Bee, it weighs a little more, but it has a slim fold and a shoulder strap, so it doesn't feel that heavy / bulky to carry. It has good suspension but small wheels, so it will handle light terrain, but not real off-roading (like forest paths and such). It's seat is also a bit on the small side, so, depending on the size of your child, it might feel a bit cramped after 2 1/2 - 3 yrs old. If these downsides are ok for you, then it is probably what I would recommend overall for the lifestyle you describe. Note, that the Bugaboo Lynx is set for launch soon though, which is a cheaper (and as far as I've seen, better) version of the Fox. So if you like the Fox, and can stand to wait for it, it might be worth it :)

[@coreanmachismo]

I love how you are doing these pram reviews...Can you please have a review of the new inglesina aptica and inglesina aptica xt and let us know what do you think about it

[@BarnevognverkstedNo]

We don't have access to Inglesina models here in Norway unfortunately. But we'll take a look if they show up in the future :)

[@boglarkakatona53]

What are your thoughts on the Hub+? Better for bigger children size wise?

[@BarnevognverkstedNo]

We haven't seen the Hub+ yet unfortunately, hopefully soon though :)

Hello! Thank you for your review! What stroller would you recommend- Cybex Balios S Lux or Joolz Hub +? (For everyday use and bad road cover)

[@BarnevognverkstedNo]

Hub+, but depending on the roads, you might need something with bigger wheels. :)

[@hadildaudali1268]

These two or the Nuna Mixx next?

How tall are you? This just gives me an idea of how low down the pushchair is.

Can you do the Nuna line next ? 😍

I really want to, but they're hard to get ahold of in Norway, we're going to try and pick up a couple of the more popular models next year in Sweden :)

[@salkordi90]

I was going to order it last year, but i saw few photos with babies in it and i realized the seat is small. So i went with uppababy cruz and my boy loves his stroller.

Did you look at fox 2 as well?
