HI there - Bubs is not here yet so I have no idea, but the width seems to be the same or very close to the Joolz and maybe not much more than a Bugaboo. I don't think any of these types of prams are the go for tight spaces to be honest, but we just have one car and I will be walking a lot with bubs (just for exercise too!) and the Mutsy seems like it will be great for that kind of lifestyle. We'll probably get an umbrella type stroller for tighter spaces once bubs is a tiny bit older.
We're going to order the dinner tray and bigger shopping basket (it's on the Mutsy international site under accessories) from the States and have my parents bring them over. I think the dinner tray will be great when bubs is older.
Well DH and I went crazy today and bought the Joolz!!!
We got the blue, its a bit like a kingfisher blue really. We dont know what sex the baby is but in the last four days we have had 6 scans so we think we might have a clue that blue will work.
All up we got the stroller, bassinet and sleeping bag thingo for $1100.
I was also considering the BeBe BabyAce and the Peg P Skate but in the end the design elements, fabric, and sturdiness of the Joolz won me over.
I am very excited.
Just need to get a bit patient and wait for bubs to arrive...only 20 more weeks to go...!
At least I didnt get the nappy bag so that still leaves me something to obsess about.
How exciting! Great that you could get the colour you wanted too. Even if it ends up being a girl, that colour will still be fine.
We ordered our Mutsy on Sunday!! It was on sale for $689 including the bassinet so we figured we might as well snap it up. It'll arrive in a few weeks and I can't wait to get it.
Soulful, I didnt consider the Bugaboo. I am a bit over them.
I like the Joolz as it is a bit fresh looking as well as having the features I wanted.
My "cant do without" list came down to;
# four wheel (have a three wheel with DS and while they are great when bubs is little, as they get heavier I found it more "tippy"
# pump up tyres, we live in an area without many footpaths so solid or plastic tyres would make the ride too hard
# height, I am nearly 6 foot (as is DH) so the pram base and handle had to be good for my back
# sturdy, I dont mind a bit of extra weight in the pram if it means a more sturdy and reliable pram (DS pram is five years old and now a bit tired looking but still strong)
# funky, lets face it, this time I wanted a funky looking pram too as its my last baby and I am too old to be sensible now
I think the Musty looks very solid and reliable too.
I think both the Joolz and Mutsy have comparable features to the Bugaboo (although the shopping baskets are much smaller) but are less expensive. Also I cannot recall what the deal is with folding down the Joolz, but you can definitely fold down the Mutsy with the seat on (it's not small that way, but it's doable). The Joolz and Mutsy both steer very easily IMO.
DH and I like that we can get a dinner tray for the Mutsy and when baby is older we will probably get the fun seat attachment too.
We ordered our Mutsy from Baby Gallery in Clayton (Melbourne) but have also seen it at Parenthood on High Street in Malvern.
Looks like you have plenty of time to decide - have fun!!
