• Travel Convenience 
• Safety 
• Mobility 
• Durability 
• What parents will love 
• What your baby will love 
• What we don't love so much 

Travel convenience:  The Xplory Basic Stroller weighs only 23.15 lbs and the dimensions below shows you the space you save, it's also light and easy to fold. One of the greatest feature of the Xplory Basic Stroller is that it is the only stroller that elevates your baby to the height you prefer, it can be as a high-chair when you go to restaurants - no more hassles of transferring your baby from stroller to high-chair.

*note the Xplory Basic Stroller only comes with the seat and not the carry cot, only the Xplory Complete Stroller has both.

Safety:   With an adjustable 5-point harness, your baby is fully secure in the stroller. As the baby grows, you can adjust it to their body for security and comfort. The Xplory Basic Stroller also meets US and international safety standards.

Mobility:  With large rear wheels it's easy to handle and maneuver. And as shown below, the open design between the wheels allows easy walking with the stroller without having to bump into a bar all the time and allowing for a longer stride. With a complete stride, the parent can keep an upright position which is the most beneficial for walking and helps minimize injury. With the ability to readily adjust the height will keep you away from bending over to check on the child or to make eye contact.

Durability:  The Xplory Basic Stroller is made from lightweight aluminum and automobile-grade plastic, the two best materials for long lasting use and a good weight for mobility and carrying.

What parents will love:   The Xplory Basic is innovative, stylish and embellished with it's attractive design. It is the only stroller that elevates your baby to enhance closeness, security and comfort. A newborn can only see 8-15 inches, so when your baby is at eye level to you they gain more security and comfort knowing that your right there. Learning capabilities start at a very young age, so with eye to eye contact and a panoramic view of the world your baby is off to a head start.

What every parent admire is the capability of a stroller to have proper adjustable functions. The Xplory Basic Stroller has an adjustable handle (both angle and height), frame (up and down), 2-way seating, 5 reclining positions and even the height / depth of the stroller! The seat is designed for newborn to 45 lbs / 3 yrs.

There are lots of extras included in your purchase of Xplory Basic Stroller, such as the chassis, seat, and textile sets. Seat textile includes seat upholstery, canopy, mosquito net, rain cover, shopping bag, seat pocket, infant body pillow, and shoulder strap pads. With 6 textile colors to choose from you can personalize your stroller to your personality (red, turquoise, black, cream, orange, and olive)

Hood w/open ventilation, Mosquito Net, Rain Cover & Stroller Bag included

Fun for the whole family with optional sibling board

What your baby will love:  The Xplory Basic Stroller has 5 comfortable reclining positions. It can lie flat for your newborn, or recline upto a sit up position (with a foot rest) to enjoy all the fun activities around. With a 2-way seating position, your baby can either admire you or the world.

Be close with your baby

What we don't love so much:   The Xplory Basic Stroller has the name basic for a reason. It doesn't have what the Xplory Complete Stroller has, which is the carry cot. The seat for the basic is good enough for a toddler, but a carry cot is always better for more leg room to sleep and to kick back and relax - since babies have such a tough life! Well they still enjoy the leg room, but if the seat is good enough for you then the basic is really all you need because everything else between the two strollers are identical. If you think the complete stroller will make you feel more complete, then you should really go for it.

As for the wheels, it's a bit short on quality compared to BOB Jogging Strollers and Bugaboo Strollers (when both other strollers are lower in price!). There's no suspension, no air-filled tires and the rims are made of plastic, for the price you're better off with the two other brands. If most of your trips consists of paved roads then these wheels would be good enough for you, just don't take it to any rugged terrain - it will not be a smooth ride! And we find that the stroller hard to turn without swivel wheels like Bugaboo Strollers, plus it does not feel stable with the seat higher than normal strollers - with a heavier weight on top, it is easier for the stroller to topple over. Overall, the only reason why we would purchase the Xplory Basic Stroller is for the beneficial view your child will have in the stroller.
