Joie Caraway Whirl Stroller - Shale

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We've been using our stroller everyday for our daily adventures! The wheels turn so easily and allow for seamlessly weaving in and out of shopping aisles. It's great for indoors and outdoors! The leg rest is an awesome feature that my son enjoys! The storage basket fits my extra large diaper bag. The stroller folds up easily and fits in my trunk for our next adventure! This stroller has been a nice addition and we recommend it!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This stroller is so great! I originally planned to use it only as a travel stroller, but after trying it out, I’m definitely going to use it as my daily driver. I love the smooth 360-degree wheels and the option to lock them when I need more control.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Caraway Whirl Stroller is very beautiful and stylish. When I unpacked the stroller I was very impressed on the look and style as well as how easy it was to put together. The "whirl" action on the stroller is amazing to have! We immediately took it out for a walk in the neighborhood with our 3 year old. The stroller rides great on flat and even ground. Unfortunately when it comes to rougher areas, it does not ride well. My husband even commented on how he was afraid to break it already trying to get up a step. Our daughter loved how comfy the seat was. The recline area on the seat is much easier to work that most other strollers we have tried. Overall, the stroller is stylish, comfortable and rides well.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Joie Caraway Whirl stroller is top notch. I have tried and used several strollers from various brands (more expensive and less expensive) and I have to say that for the price point of Joie products, it punches well above its weight. I have the Joie infant car seat which I used to use along with the Nutmeg stroller, and I have been very pleased with it. When I received this stroller to test, the first thing I noticed was how luxurious it was relative to the Nutmeg (which is already quite nice for a travel stroller). I love how there was plentiful storage space under the seat, and the fact that the bumper bar and the cup attachment comes stock. All of these things are add-ons that add up for several other brands. I didn't really think too much about the 360 wheeling until I had this and the comparison that I can best explain it is like the suitcases that can be pushed with 360 motion vs the ones that only go front and back. It is so easy to use and maneuvering it is so simple. Thank you Joie!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The caraway whirl came out at the perfect time for our growing family. I was looking for a stroller that was easy to fold (this is the simplest I've found!), had a small profile, easy to use and was all in one (I can use for my toddler or throw my car seat on it). This stroller hit the mark for me! The whirl wheels are INSANE. Seriously, I can now pivot the smallest areas which is very helpful with multiple children. I could totally see this being my go to stroller for Disney. I deeply appreciate the cup holder that comes with it - I have others that it was separate purchase and weren't as sturdy - this one isn't going anywhere. The assembly was easy peasy and the footprint in my trunks is SO minimal. Such a great stroller and I've tried them all! With 3 children 4 and under - this is the perfect fit for our family.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Putting the stroller together was very easy, and the directions were clear and helpful. I really liked the adjustable handle positions — they made it comfortable for different heights. The stroller itself is a nice midsize option — not as heavy as some full-sized strollers but sturdier than a lightweight travel one. It’s easy to open and close, which is a big plus for everyday use. It can feel a bit narrow for men, but it was perfectly fine for women. The cup holder was sturdy and could hold a decent-sized water bottle without any issues. The under-storage basket was on the smaller side and not very deep, which might be limiting for larger items. The sunshade was very helpful and provided good coverage on sunny days. The 360° wheel design made steering smooth and easy, even on tighter paths or when navigating around town. The tires were a good size and handled different types of terrain well. I even used it for a 5K, and it kept the baby comfortable and happy the entire time. It’s great for walks and everyday outings. Overall: A solid midsize stroller that’s easy to use, comfortable, and performs well on various terrains. The sunshade and 360° wheel design add great convenience, though the storage space could be improved.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Joie Caraway Whirl Stroller is sturdy with convenient features and is easy to push around, even on uneven terrain. I mostly used it on the sidewalk and pavement so far, but ended up on some cobblestone and had no issues. It honestly glides so nicely and the swivel wheels make maneuvering around objects and curves so effortless. Standing 5'8" tall, I really appreciate the adjustable handlebar. With the push of a button you can adjust it to suit your height. The seat reclines very easily and sits upright just as well. The straps are easily adjustable, and you can even remove the shoulder/chest straps if you just want the lap straps. This feature is wonderful for my 2 year old who wants to lean forward and take in the world around her without being heavily restrained. I still can trust that her lap belt will keep her safe and secure. The child's handlebar also easily clips on and off to suit your child's needs while getting in and out of the stroller. There is a decent storage area under the stroller that can be accessed from the front or back, which I personally find very convenient. The brakes can be activated by stepping on the lever and then they just flip up when you're ready to keep going. The negatives I have are minor, and are honestly just personal preference and things I'll need to get used to, as you typically need to do with any new purchase. The stroller is a bit heavy to me, but it's also incredibly sturdy and well made. For the impressive quality, I doubt they could make it any lighter than what it is. (I'm also 7 months pregnant, so lifting anything feels like a chore these days!) It folds up nicely but would take a large portion of a sedan trunk, so it's probably better suited for a larger vehicle. (I have a Prius and a minivan. It fits just fine in the Prius but there's not much room for anything else when it's in the hatch.) I do wish there was some type of storage behind the seat of the stroller, like maybe a mesh bag where I could toss my phone or some wipes for easy access. The storage underneath is nice but I think there was opportunity to add an extra storage space for small personal items that could be accessed without bending down every time. I do have a bit of trouble opening and closing the stroller, and also with the wheel lock buttons that are accessed via the handlebar, but it's gotten easier with practice, so I do believe this is going to be a very short-lived gripe of mine. Overall, the Joie Caraway Whirl Stroller is a great option for a sturdy stroller that is sure to last through multiple children. My child seems comfortable and most importantly safe when she's riding in this stroller. I would absolutely recommend this product to a friend!!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received the Joie stroller a week ago. I am satisfied with the stroller but unsure if I would purchase it for myself. We live on the second floor in a condo and the stroller is very heavy. It is not practical for us to bring it up and down the stairs. I also own a Nuna stroller and would say this is comparable in appearance and quality but it doesn’t have as many features and is significantly heavier. With that being said, the price point of Joie vs Nuna is much more reasonable. Overall, I do think it is a nice stroller, durable, and good quality. It pushes really nicely and is easy to fold. It is compact enough to fit in any truck and easy to open/close.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The whirl stroller is a good stroller. The stoller is lightweight, easy to fold, and a smooth ride. The whirl wheels make the stroller easy to push and turn. It is easy to turn off whirl mode by pressing a button if you want the back wheels to remain straight. The underneath basket is fairly small. I like to store the diaper bag or grocery bags under there and there is limited space. To lock the stroller in place, you have to push the lock on each wheel. This is not an issue for me but it is an extra step.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This stroller feels really great, especially for the price point. The fabric feels and looks really premium, and the push is smooth overall. I had no problem pushing it with my toddler on sidewalks and light terrain like grass. I wasn't sure how useful the 360 wheels would be in a more suburban environment, but it's nice to have when navigating a busy store or outdoor event, and you need to sidestep around people or move out of the way. Folding the stroller is very easy and quick, and the stroller is very sturdy when standing while folded. I also loved that the bumper bar automatically folds when the stroller is folded. It's a small feature, but it's really thoughtful that you don't have to fold the bumper bar afterward or take it off entirely. The basket is fairly shallow but will stretch to fit a decently large diaper bag. Overall, really impressed with the premium feel and maneuverability!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Joie Caraway Whirl stroller exceeded my expectations! It was quick and easy to assemble, folds effortlessly, and glides smoothly with great control. I love its sleek design and lightweight feel especially compared to my Nuna Triv. The storage basket is a decent size but could use a bit more depth, and I wish the seat reclined further for naps on the go. Overall, I’m very impressed with the quality and convenience. Definitely a great stroller for everyday use!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We absolutely love this stroller! It’s so easy to fold and unfold and folds down nicely so it doesn’t take up a lot of room in my trunk. I love that you can lock and unlock the wheels to be 360 wheels which makes navigating tight spaces very easy. It was easy to setup and is great quality. My daughter seems to be comfortable in it with the extra padding on the shoulders so the straps don’t scratch her neck. It’s easy to get her in and out of with a simple push button and it’s very adjustable. I like that I can lay her back and sit her up in multiple positions and the handle has different positions as well. The cup holder is nice and holds my drink or phone perfectly. Overall we have really enjoyed this stroller and all of its features.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We received this stroller, and right away I was excited to open the box. It was light enough for me to lift out and assemble completely on my own — a big win for any parent juggling little ones! When I first unboxed it, there was a noticeable chemical odor that took a bit of time to fade, but once it did, I was ready to take it for a spin. The 360° swivel wheels are an awesome feature — they make turning and navigating so easy. It glides beautifully on grass and feels smooth and effortless to push. Folding it down takes a little practice. The mechanism doesn’t always work perfectly the first time, and my husband had to tinker with it a bit before we got the hang of it. Once folded, it fits well in the car and doesn’t take up too much space. My baby is one year old and loves riding in it, though she does wish she could sit a bit more upright. I may need to adjust the shoulder straps more to help with that. The storage basket underneath is handy but could be a little larger — my diaper bag doesn’t quite fit. I love that there’s a cup holder for my water(a must-have!), but I’d also love a small spot for my phone. Overall, this stroller is lightweight, stylish, and easy to maneuver — perfect for walks at the park or everyday errands. With just a few small tweaks (like a bigger basket and smoother fold), it would be nearly perfect. It’s quickly become my go-to stroller!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The stroller has met all my expectations, the comfort it has to use it and that the tires are 360 degrees. I loved the security that the stroller gives and how safe it looks.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Overall, this is a solid, but not perfect stroller. I was impressed by the ability to maneuver the stroller in small places and the side-to-side button was easy to use. I had never seen this feature in a stroller before and it really helped to take navigation and comfort to the next level. The stroller folded very compactly, but was too heavy to be a travel stroller at over 20 pounds. I wish the wheels were smaller to make the stroller lighter, as this would have expanded the options for everyday use. The basket was also flat and small and lacked storage capacity. I felt like items would fall out while steering. The design and appearance of the stroller were modern and sleek, and the ride was smooth. Overall, it's a neat stroller with a lot of potential, but has some design flaws regarding practicality.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I recently got this stroller, and it’s been a great choice overall. It’s lightweight, easy to fold, and fits perfectly in my car trunk. The wheels move smoothly, making it simple to steer even with one hand. The storage basket is roomy, and my baby stays comfortable on long walks. Definitely worth the price.
