The Traveler (Zoe XLC) - Best Lightweight Travel and Everyday Umbrella Stroller System for Toddlers - Disney Approved - Travel Friendly

These figures demonstrate the company’s failed design. In the stroller, the child’s center of gravity is towards the middle of the wheel base until the child leans forward in the seat. At this point, the child’s center of gravity is placed almost above the front wheels and a horizontal push force can cause the entire stroller to dangerously tip forward. This occurred to me when testing the stroller on slightly uneven pavement.Other travel strollers have a wider wheel base and position the child towards the back wheels so their weight does not cause as much of a tipping hazard.This flaw can be easily prevented by a member that stops the seat back from being pulled so far forward by the passenger. Why didn’t ZOE install one of these? Were they cutting costs or was the issue not identified during design and testing? Either way, their business is putting children in harmful situations.Upon discovering this flaw, I asked for a refund am being charged a $100 restocking fee. The company’s return policy is much worse than the standard market. ZOE seems to be trying to make a fast buck by putting kids in danger. A family company, sure.

My husband and I have an Uppababy Vista but that thing is a behemoth and it takes up 90% of the trunk space of our SUV. Taking it on trips is completely out of the question. This stroller was recommended to us by a friend and now it has become out go to. We used it for errands because it takes up so much space.We recently used this stroller for a family trip to Disneyland and it was perfect. It fit in the overhead compartment and was lightweight carrying around the airport. In the parks it performed well. It steers easily, seems sturdy and was just the right size. It was also easy to find when we left it because this is not that common of a stroller and when your searching for your stroller amongst hundreds of other strollers that is a godsend. My son napped in the stroller every day at the park so I am guessing it's comfortable. It's also worth noting that my son is super tall for his age (2 years old, 37 inches tall) and he still has tons of room to grow into. We love this stroller!

I would like to start by saying that I did a lot of research and thought this would be the best combination of size and functionality. The reviews were really good and I glossed over many of the mediocre ones thinking it was that person who weren't using it correctly.. Well, I was WRONG. This stroller is a bit of a DEATHTRAP. The stroller tips over if it hits the slightest crack in the sidewalk or uneven ground. As a result, we've had many close calls with our toddler falling out when that happens save for the straps. We have had cheap umbrella strollers that were more stable.The 2nd issue is the straps buckle gets stuck and we've had to almost cut the straps one time to get our toddler out. The front wheels also will fall out occasionally from opening. They're also pretty flimsy as a lot of posts have written about. The final annoyance is that its very hard to lock when opening. You have to have a lot of wrist strength to lock it in place.Look, the benefits are it folds small and has a bigger canopy than the pockit but given the safety issues, I would highly dissuade you from buying.Additionally, their customer service is really POOR. They first refused to refund. Then, they offered to refund me but asked me to pay shipping which would cost >$90 to ship cross country. I was willing to accept the restocking fee but that would just make no sense. These are selling on the secondary market for $100 or so, so I could easily sell it myself but would feel horrible for the family getting this piece of crap.Good luck in your search and hope this helped!

I was looking for a lightweight small easy fold super travel stroller so I ordered a few to compare and after having seven strollers in my kitchen and my husband thinking I'm crazy I decided to go with the ZOE. It definitely is light and folds up small really easily. I haven't gone on my trip yet but am really excited to try this stroller out. Fingers crossed that it fits in the overhead bin! I normally use an UppaBaby Vista but it is way too big and a pain to travel with. The seat reclines all the way, is easy to get kids in and out, and actually has some side support that a lot of the travel strollers are missing. It comes with a very large canopy that covers the majority of your child if needed and I love that it has an adjustable leg rest. The stroller itself sits a little low (most travel strollers seem to) but the back is high for older children and the handlebar is nice and high for tall adults. Love that it has a pocket on the back of the seat! I don't know why more companies don't put one on... it is so easy and makes a big difference for parents to put their phone and smaller things in. I even tested it out by clipping my heavy diaper bag to the stroller and it did not tip over! The basket could be bigger but once again it is a travel stroller. The crossbar on the back sometimes gets in the way when I am walking and would be better without but it isn't the end of the world. I wish the ZOE came with a travel bag or strap included but saw you can purchase them additionally on their website.Overall, after comparing this stroller to so many other travel strollers, the Zoe XLC v2 is exactly what I was looking for and would definitely recommend it to anyone.
