Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)It looks really cool and is easy to push. It comes with some accesories like a mosquito net and raincover.
However the cons outweight the pros, the biggest one being that it is poorly built of very cheap plastic.
It is not a sturdy stroller, don't get fooled by the price, expensive doesn't mean high quality.
The learning curve is steep, it takes ages to figure out what each of the white buttons are for and the instruction booklet is not helpful at all.
You must buy Stokke only accesories, like the diaper bag which is another $100 because no other diaper bag can be used with the Xplory (no place to store or hang it).
We also bought the $100 travel bag, and it turned out to be just a large plastic bag. No padding, no protection for the stroller, no special compartments to place the different items (chassis, seat, foot rest, etc..), and, not meant for air travel. Except the air travel part wasn't mentioned anywhere, and we found out the hard way when our stroller broke (the mechanism that opens the wheels) WHILE inside the travel bag (even though I took the time to put padding all around it), and the warranty didn't cover the repair, meaning we now have to spend $380 on a new chassis to be able to use it again. When you add that up to the over $1000 already spent, it is simply not worth it.
Buy a different stroller! One that is sturdier, which is what you would expect after spending $1000, not one you are afraid of bringingup and down stairs, in and out of the car, etc...because it "might" break.
On a final note, their customer service is terrible, not helpful at all.
