Love it!
We love our Stokke. Small and easy to maneuver in shops and cafes. I really wanted something that was small and didn't have the daggy basket on the bottom that I would inevitable fill to the brim with stuff! We have the Stokke nappy bag and shopping bag, both of which have plenty of room. The shopping bag expands to be quite large. I like that the nappy bag size means that I can only take what is necessary - it means you have to plan and pack well which is perfect for me because otherwise I would end up carting around stuff I don't need.

love that the baby is high to maintain eye contact with us and out of reach of most dogs. I would say this is a perfect city/shopping pram - We also have a three wheeler jogging pram with large inflatable tires for long walks which is much more smooth, but this is what I would expect. I love that once baby has head control you can use the pram as a high chair at cafes. Easy to get it and out of the car and fits easily into our boot (we have a Toyota Kluger). The design does mean you can't hang shopping bags from it, but I think this is actually safer as you shouldn't hang any weight from any pram and he stoke handle means you can't do this without thinking. I like that it looks different to the normal run of the mill prams which all look very similar. We bought second hand for $400 including seat and bassinet - I'm not sure that I could justify the new price, regardless of how much I love it!Similar opinion? Write a review on ieatwords.com.au!

I LOVE my Xplory. This is my second child but my 5th pram purchase!! (PRAM ENVY) finally i have found the right combination for me.
I have a phil & teds as my running pram. but I was deciding bewteen the chameleon and the Xplory but hands down the height factor won it for me. I had a c-section and used the bassinett for the first 8 weeks for EVERYTHING, it was a change table a rocker a portable bed and obviously a pram. I loved going to the shops and not having to put my baby on those change tables at the shops- grosse. Also now that my baby ...Read more

I love my Stokke, I bought it as my brother advised me. He has one in the Netherlands. I did have a minor issue with the seat sliding down, I contacted Stokke online and had a part shipped out to me immediately. It’s great that I didn’t have get a pram then stroller. I didn’t bother with the bassinet, the baby inset was fine and my baby was a Prem. It’s great that it can be used as a high-chair.
Fantastic that the handle is adjustable. Great for tall Dads. It’s so light-weight and has an amazing turning cycle that can be done one-handed. The he...Read more
ight of the seat, bubba can view so much more that kneecaps. The fact that everyone stares, “OMG, that’s sooooo space-age!” Also can be a big bulky for a small hatch, it can fit no problem by taking the seat off then folding. Otherwise, easy to fold for fitting into a large boot.

This has been a great purchase despite the price tag. I chose it primarily because I've had episodes of back pain previously and predicted that the bending to lift a child in and out of a lower stroller would not be terribly good for me. We've used it almost non-stop since we brought our newborn home, both indoors and out. She happily sleeps in the bassinette attachment, which I was not originally going to purchase, but I'm now thankful that I did. My partner originally detested the pram (due to it's cost and he thought it looked like a dentist...Read more
's chair) but within a day of using it, he agrees that it is indispensable and is equally pleased. It's been one of the top purchases we've made for our baby. The height of this pram has been a back saver as I don't need to bend down to pick up and lie my newborn down and can comfortably stand to settle her to sleep, the detachable pram fixture has been great as a baby carrier, we've only been for three walks and already lots of comments on what a fantastic pram we have, the manoevrability is superb and narrow width means that it's easy to get in, out and around shops, the folding wheels allow me to get up steps without assistance and the compact under-carriage storage means that I don't unnecessarily pack the entire household for every outing (I believe less is more in the nappy bag). Wheels sound and feel lightweight and "plasticy", not able to jog with it and not really an "all terrain" option.Similar opinion? Write a review on ieatwords.com.au!

I absolutely LOVE this pram! It manoeuvres very well, you can change it into several different positions with the child facing you or facing away from you AT A GREAT HEIGHT and it looks good.It even handles quite WELL on terrain. According to David Jones Stokke is a wonderful company to deal with as well. Once you buy this pram, you are sorted for age 0 to 4; you don't need to buy any additional stuff.
look, height, manoeuvrability, changeability.
It takes some time for the pram to get shipped from Europe to Australia, so make sure you order well on time.

No regrets, but I am actually considering a travel stroller too since I don't want to lose my Stokke in plane transit or damage in a foreign country.
The height of the chair/bassinet is fantastic for interaction with my baby. It steers with one hand and is very sturdy, considering it's open style. The actual look of it is quite space age and be prepared to get admiring comments every day you take this out.
Cost. It is basically the Porsche of prams.

OK
I haven't yet experienced the Stokke Xplory, however am keen to find out more.
As a 5'11" (180cm) female with a severely damaged back who is considering pregnancy I was today advised by my physio that this is the pram for me as it will minimise bending, etc. While the price is somewhat scary I would imagine it's significantly less costly than ongoing medical intervention and a price worth paying to try and maintain a strong back!
I'd be interested to know just how much spare space there is for groceries, nappy bags, etc as there doesn't appear to be a great deal of storage space which would mean lugging around additional bags, etc and potentially mitigate the benefits from the height.

It is so easy to use. to fit into our mid size 4WD, it is 3 steps. Fold handle to be inline, Telescopy handle down to min size. Flip rear wheels forward to stair climbing position (like 2 wheel goods trolley). Should be same for hatch. for sedan with limited headroom in boot, 4th step would be needed. Using left and right hands, press seat release on left and right side, then lift of seat, EASY. (there should be no load clicks or bangs, I did this a few times as I forgot that instructions as we seldom take the seat off.

I bought the lot, chair, bassinet, umbrella, change bag, travel bag etc. I've been very happy with it, I love that I don't have to bend down to pop in a dummy and good for interaction with baby, great eye contact (especially first time mums who don't want to take their eyes of their little one). Also great if your tall, as you don't have to bent down to push (adjustable handle). It's great that you can buy different colour fabric kit, so when you have no 2 or 3 you can change colours and it looks like a brand new pram. I love that when you g...Read more
o out for lunch, the pram can be wheeled right up to the table (no dirty high chairs) and also baby is at the same hight as you again great for interaction. The only problem I do have is the travel bag, the fabric is not durable enough to travel with (I had 2) and both ripped first use flying, you can blame it on the airline but either way it should be able to last more than 1 plane flight. The nappy bag doesn’t really have a neat place to hang, due to the position of the chair. Also (not a major problem) size of your car boot and the amount of groceries your going to buy with the pram in the boot can be an issue. The biggest annoyance with the pram that you have to learn to ignore the stares, open comments ((isn't that a high tech pram) I swear every outing at least 5 times) and the countless people stopping you asking you about the pram. Trust me it will drive you CRAZY!!!Similar opinion? Write a review on ieatwords.com.au!

I love this pram - can't wait for bub to be a little older so she can appreciate it as much as her dad and I do.
This pram is light, easy to push and as it is skinnier then most other prams on the market you often don't get caught bumping into things - it's amazing how much of a difference that makes. Also as bub is at eye/table level they don't always want or need to be on your lap as they can interact on their own just fine - I LOVE this pram.
Not a dislike however it doesn't cater for a 2nd child - but then not all prams do. Accessories are expensive (so is the pram) but you can get shipped from overseas which makes it more cost effective :)

I've had the same problem recur 3x - screws in the base near rear wheels fall out. Each time the pram has been fixed and the third time when I asked for the clearly faulty part to be replaced they said this was a problem with earlier models and that they'd replaced the screws with longer screws this time but would not replace the part until it happened again (if it does). Fingers crossed it didn't as the repair process is a pain - have to be without pram for several days and drop it off and pick it up at Mascot. Pram's great as long as you don't get a faulty one.

Would definately reccommend the xplory. Easy to manouver, very stable, great for baby to interact with the world rather than staring at legs.
Really hits home how great it is to have bubs up high when during walks in another stroller pollen and leaves from the ground blow into the seat and on the face. Also keeps them away from curious dogs etc so its great for children with allergies.
easy to open and close once you get the hang of it but it will not be suitable for those with small cars as it does take up alot of room in the boot.
baby high up, adjustable, stable, great handling
bulky

love it I bought it for my second baby .Would highly recommend it .The only problem is that everyone stops me in the street or where ever admiring the pram especially men as the love the modern design.The umbrella accessory that is an extra purchase is fantastic.All you need is a decent size boot.My daughter couldn,t be happy as she is high up away from the ground an can watch me and everything thats going on around her love it has great resale value
Baby is way above ground so they can always interact with you .Great for eating out as it can be the same height as a highchair.
its a little bulky in the boot

Questions & Answers
Danasked
Hey,we live near the beach and walk the dog there everyday. How does the Stokke Xplory travel on sand? Hard and soft?
Melba mom to beasked
Do newborns fit well in the seat and do their legs dangle out when they get a big bigger? Has anyone tried the carry cot or Footmuff and any recommendations on those?
1 answer
I bought the carry cot to use for my newborn until he was 5 months old then switched him over to the seat. I'd recommend buying the carrycot as I don't think the seat is suitable for newborns. My baby was a winter baby (August) so I also bought the Stokke sleeping bag, which was great. However, by October, my baby was too hot/sweaty in it so I lined the carrycot with a cotton wrap. The seat has three different positions (angles). When your baby is bigger, the legs dangle down but the footrest is adjustable.

You can purchase a matching nappy bag that attaches to the bottom of the stroller! :) when you fold it up and put it in the boot the bags go in the stroller seat. (Im not strong at all! I find this pram very heavy though to lift into my boot.)
