Hi
I was wondering if you could please tell me how this pram goes on uneven surfaces, dirt roads, bush walking tracks etc?

Hi Melissa,

Thank you for your email and enquiry about the JIVE and METRO . Redsbaby prams have been designed for Urban use and give great performance on all terrain i.e. going for walks over gravel, grass being out and about (sidewalks).

Our prams (METRO and JIVE) both come with four-wheel suspension, which are based on an internal spring system (within the front wheel housing and the rear wheel axle)



Other features of the wheels which provide best performance includes:

*Front swivel wheel locks: stability on uneven terrain and long distances
*Four wheel suspension: easy push and a smoother ride
*Four wheel design: optimum weight distribution, providing more stability on curbs and uneven surfaces

I'm worried that my son who's 14 months and 80cm will be too tall for the SKIP or will outgrow it quickly. Any ideas?

It may be best to try out the SKIP at one of their product demos to see how your son fits into it. The seat dimensions are on the website but my son, who is 12 months & 76cm, still fits in it fine.

Thank you travelingmum you are right about the Redsbaby website. All the information about their prams and strollers is readily available and there are many more helpful reviews. I personally found it to be more generous in size compared to some of the other compact strollers brands I tested. I chose the Skip because of its price, quality and the fact that its an Australian brand. Its very reassuring to me that I can call Redsbaby and a team member will always answer any questions I have.

Hi Simon, Thank you for getting in touch. The SKIP is suitable for toddlers up to 20kgs. We have had some of the Redsbaby team use with their 3-year-olds who fit comfortably in the seat for sitting and also naps on the go. The SKIP seat is an open design and reclines to a flat position so that you can use from newborn through to toddlerhood.

We host demo days around Australia so you can come and see the SKIP in person. I have added the link below for you :https://redsbaby.com.au/attend-a-demo-day/

Please let me know if you have any questions at all - we are more than happy to assist.

Hi Ange, i don't remember seeing that as an option on their website. I'd say your best get would be to reach out to Redsbaby directly and check with them.

Hi Ange,

Thank you for your question. The 30-day trial only applies to our JIVE and METRO prams. The SKIP isn't included in this. We do host demo days and events across Australia so you can view the SKIP in person and test drive before you decide to purchase. I have added the link below but if you have any questions, please call the team on 1300 344 964.

SKIP

I’m wondering what is the age range or weight range this product is for?

1 answer
Redsbaby
RedsbabyRedsbaby

Hi Haotian,

Both the JIVE and METRO are designed to hold up to 20kgs in the main seat. Most children will need or use a pram until they are around 3 years of age but prams are based on weight rather than age as all children develop differently.

I hope this helps

Hi Rashall, thank you for your question. The buggy board isn't compatible with the SKIP. The SKIP is a lightweight stroller and is only suitable for use with one child. Please reach out to the customer care team on 1300 344 964 if you have any questions.

SKIP

Does it tip if the child is an older child and they are laying flat? Or if you have anything hanging off the pram? Also does the bottom part of the seat come up to help the child rest their legs if sleeping? Or do their legs hang down?

katiep

Not unless you are hanging a really heavy bag on the handle. Which you should not do ever in any pram for safety reasons!

Redsbaby
RedsbabyRedsbaby

Hi There, The SKIP pram lies fully flat when baby needs to take a nap. The SKIP remains stable in this position. We wouldn't recommend hanging bags off the handlebar as the SKIP is a lightweight pram and this could cause the pram to become unbalanced.

The footrest is adjustable so you can bring it up when the baby is sleeping to support their legs. Please reach out to customer care on 1300 344 964 if you have any further questions.

Hi There, The SKIP is a forward-facing stroller only but is suitable for newborns as the seat lies fully flat. We recommend using the infant head pillow and seat liner if using with a younger infant and always have the 5 point harness in use. Brooke - RB Team xx

Hi, I really want to purchase this pram for my son, however we are moving interstate on the 1st April and I’m unsure what address to put on the order. If I order it now and the order is processed and dispatched on the 15th March, is it likely to arrive before the 1st April in Melbourne? Is it possible to pick up from your head office? We are driving up to QLD.

How does the skip stroller feel in terms of weight at the back? Ie if you hang a bag off the back of it, will it tend to tip backwards?

1 answer
Redsbaby
RedsbabyRedsbaby

Hi Charlotte,

Thank you for your question. We don't recommend the use of nappy bags on any of our pram handlebars as they can place extra weight on the chassis and cause damage. The best place for nappy bags is in the base of the pram in the carry basket. Please let me know if you have any further questions.

I'm looking for a cabin-luggage-friendly stroller and I understand that it will depend on the airline's requirements. Has anyone been REJECTED taking the Redsbaby Skip as cabin on luggage? I've only heard the positive stories and feedback. If it makes it easier, I only travel Qantas or Emirates.

Yes Singapore airlines were fine with the skip as carry on but it struggled to fit in their budget airline silk air. We have also used in on virgin airlines with our issue.

Not really. It doesn’t face towards you; you could have them in it if you have the head support but I’d suggest only for a short time as it is quite exposed.

You would not have a problem steering it with one hand at all! It is super lightweight. I have a 9mth old and steering with 1 hand is an absolute breeze!

I find that it’s quite good! We have lots of bumpy footpaths in my area/no footpaths and we get around pretty well. Of course, It doesn’t have the suspension of a heavy duty pram but for a stroller it’s amazing!

Hi Leanne,

Thank you for your question. The SKIP is designed for urban use and rolls well over all terrain. We have also added lockable front swivel wheels which can be locked in for best performance on uneven terrain.

I've only had an issue where I didn't see a hole in the grass and the wheel got stuck as they're smaller. Which would have been fine in the big Redsbaby metro. But if you're going over bumps in the pavement it's fine.

My granddaughter is due to have her baby in march is the skip stroller okay for newborns or is it more a travelling stroller. Thanks for any help

The stroller does recline pretty flat and they do sell a pillow I think which would provide more support for a newborn (not sure on SIDS safety of this?), but I’d probably wait and use this pram when the baby is a bit older and has better head control. The pram also only faces out and you can’t attach a bassinet.

Size wise does it compare to baby jogger city tor fir carry on travel?
Can I add the belly bar as an accessory?
My current redsbaby pram (jive) allows me to only do the waist straps as an option which is great for my 2 year old who hates the shoulder straps. Does it allow for only the waist straps to be done up or dies the harness need all straps to be done up?

RedsbabyRedsbaby

Hi Gull,

I have added the SKIP specs below for you so you can compare with other travel prams. We would advise using all four harness straps at all times when using the pram, even if the baby isn't keen on this, it is important that the harness is used correctly to ensure the safety of baby and toddler.
