Joovy Groove Stroller Pink

I had been looking at this stroller for awhile. I was drawn to it because of its look, the fact that it is an umbrella stroller, sturdy not flimsy. It also can hold up to 55 lbs and I love the extended shade on the canopy. Its comfortable to push, my son and daughter are both comfortable in it (they each have one, my son is 22 months and my daughter is 4 1/2 yrs old.) we are going to disney and I wanted to have them for the trip - easy to carry around, lightweight, seat goes down nicely and has a big shade for sun protection. I put it together easy enough. I used it a few times and the wheels do squeak - I have not yet used WD40 but I plan to. When I went to fold it yesterday and put it in my car - it was as if the folding "mechanism" just froze. It took me 6-7 times times of just trying again and again to get it to fold and I am doing it correctly. The first few times I folded it no problem - and the two levers you need to use are easy enough but like I said - I had some difficulties yesterday. Overall I am happy with the stroller - we'll see - that might change once I am on vacation and trying to fold the strollers as everyone is boarding the Disney buses!!!!!

This stroller is amazing. Tall, smooth riding, roomy and comfortable for the child. The canopy is the size of a full size strollers canopy, which no other umbrella has. Definetly better than any other high-end umbrellas Maclaren and Britax do not compare to the quality of this stroller. Joovy also has wonderful people behind it. From the VP Greg Gardner to the woman who took my order I was treated wonderfully. I am extremely pleased with my decision to buy a Joovy.

It's true that having the extra set of upholstery for the stroller is convenient. And the carry bag for these extras is very well designed. However, we didn't purchase the Joovy groove for the wonders of the extra covers bag. The stroller itself isn't as comfortable as the old Chicco stroller this was purchased to replace. The wheels are squeaky. The straps are not long enough to hold our 15month old when he's wearing a coat. The fold mechanism is secure, but the latching mechanism is primitive. The hanging basket has a low volume and is difficult to use on a daily basis as the egress is small. However, it must be said though, the "one handed reclining feature" is a lot better than our old Chicco. It actually works.
On balance, however, on receipt and subsequent use of our Joovy Groove, we were disappointed -- it feels like it has the build quality and daily utility of a $60--$80 stroller from Target.

We bought this stroller for our 6 month old after weeks of deliberation. What sets the Groove apart from other umbrella strollers is its canopy. The large canopy extends beautifully and actually shades the rider, unlike the Maclaren. Also, the quality of the canopy is impressive. Unlike others, it does not have that cheap, crinkly plastic in the front. As an added benefit the canopy window is large and well-placed. Also, he basket is big enough to be of use and the drinkholders and zippered pocket are extremely convenient. These attributes, together with its comfortable ride, and the fact that the Groove comes with the raincover (an add-on for others) and an additional set of black pads/canopy, make this stroller a winner.

This is a great stroller! It has an easy one hand reclining multi position seat. I even reclined my daughter while sleeping. The huge sun canopy is the best around. If even comes with a hanging organizer bag and second seat and canopy in all black, how cool. This is the most value I have ever seen in a stroller! I highly reccommend this stroller and Joovy!
