Joolz is a Dutch pushchair brand with a clear design philosophy: make fewer things and make them well. The range is deliberately small — the Aer2 for travel, the Hub2 for city life and the Geo 3 for outdoor families. That clarity is a strength. Each pushchair has a defined purpose, and none of them tries to be everything to everyone.
After reviewing all three models, my honest assessment is this: Joolz makes good pushchairs at prices that require careful justification. The Hub2 at £670 competes directly with the Bugaboo Dragonfly — and in our view the Dragonfly is the stronger pushchair. The Geo 3 at £1,079 is excellent in the right terrain for the right family — but that family needs to be honest about whether their life actually matches what it’s designed for. The Aer2 is the standout value in the range for travel-focused parents. Joolz reward careful buyers who know exactly what they need.
Our overall view of Joolz
Premium engineering. Buy carefully.
Joolz doesn’t make general-purpose pushchairs. It makes specialists. Buy the right one for your life and it rewards you. Buy without that clarity and the price is hard to justify.
Why trust this hub?
Reviewed by: Mark — all three Joolz models assessed through hands-on or real owner experience. Hub2 assessed in store and informed by a friend’s daily use. Geo 3 observed in active duo use at Roundhay Park, Leeds — direct conversation with owners. Aer2 reviewed separately.
Coverage: Every model clearly labelled with how it was assessed. We never pretend to have tested a pushchair we haven’t.

Our assessment of the Joolz range
Joolz pushchairs are well-designed and thoughtfully positioned — each one occupies a clear space in the market. The honest caveat across the range is price: Joolz sit at a premium that sometimes puts them in direct competition with stronger alternatives. The Aer2 stands on its own merits as a travel pushchair. The Hub2 needs to be compared with the Bugaboo Dragonfly before buying. The Geo 3 is an excellent terrain pushchair for the right outdoor family. Know your context and Joolz reward you. Buy without that clarity and the price is harder to justify.

Joolz models — full reviews
Joolz Aer2
Ultra-compact · Travel · Cabin approved
The Aer2 is Joolz’s lightest and most travel-focused pushchair — designed for flying, public transport and city life where the smallest possible footprint matters most. IATA cabin approved, one-hand fold, and genuinely portable in a way that larger pushchairs aren’t. The standout value in the Joolz range for travel-focused parents.
- IATA cabin approved
- One-hand fold
- Suitable from birth (lie-flat seat)
- Carry strap included
Joolz Hub2
6.5/10 · 8.8kg · From £670 · Urban compact
The Hub2 is a commuter’s pushchair. The standalone fold, carry strap and reversible seat make it well-suited to daily public transport and city life on smooth pavements. At £670 it’s expensive — compare it with the Bugaboo Dragonfly before committing. For a parent whose daily life is specifically buses, trains and city streets, it does that job well.
- One-hand two-second fold — stands alone when folded
- Carry strap included
- Reversible seat
- Adjustable handlebar — 100.2–108cm (4 positions)
- 10kg / 20-litre basket
Joolz Geo 3
7.5/10 · 13kg · From £1,079 · All-terrain · Expandable
The Geo 3 is Joolz’s terrain-first family pushchair. Observed in duo configuration at Roundhay Park, Leeds — it was exactly the right pushchair for that environment. Large puncture-proof wheels, genuine suspension, 15 configurations from mono to twin. Heavy at 13kg and a bulky fold — the honest trade-off for all-terrain capability. Get the context right and it earns every penny.
- 11.8-inch puncture-proof rear wheels
- 15 configurations — mono, duo, twin
- 15kg / 60-litre basket
- Suitable from birth (with cot)
- 2 years + 10-year transferable warranty
Joolz probably isn’t for you if…
- Value matters more than design and premium finish — there are stronger pushchairs per pound at most price points
- You want one pushchair to do everything — the Joolz range is deliberately specialist; no single model covers all bases
- You’re shopping mainly on price — at every Joolz price point there are capable alternatives worth comparing first
- You need the Hub2 but haven’t compared it with the Bugaboo Dragonfly — they’re at a similar price and the Dragonfly is the stronger pushchair
The real trade-off in the Joolz range
The Joolz range asks one question at every price point: does the capability on offer justify the cost versus the alternatives? For the Aer2, the answer is often yes — it’s a genuinely capable travel pushchair. For the Hub2, the answer depends on whether you’ve compared it with the Bugaboo Dragonfly. For the Geo 3, the answer depends entirely on your terrain and your family plans.
What Joolz do well is design clarity. There’s no ambiguity about what each pushchair is for. The Aer2 is a travel pushchair. The Hub2 is a city pushchair. The Geo 3 is an outdoor family pushchair. That clarity makes choosing between them straightforward — and makes it obvious when a Joolz isn’t the right answer for your situation at all.
Parents like you usually choose…
Parents comparing Joolz most often end up choosing between the Aer2 for travel and the Geo 3 for outdoor family life. The Hub2 attracts parents specifically looking for a commuter pushchair with a standalone fold — but those parents should compare it with the Bugaboo Dragonfly before deciding. Parents comparing the Geo 3 with the Bugaboo Donkey 6 or Cybex Gazelle S should read all three full reviews — the decision axis is seating configuration and terrain use, not brand.
