The Stoke Xplory is a unique, high-end stroller and the best-known model of the Stokke brand. The iconic design with the single bar in the center of the chassis, the height-adjustable seat and the bag form of the shopping basket divides opinions and makes the Xplory the most popular as well as the most condemned urban stroller. The grey buttons and logos are typical for the first generation of the Xplory. Along with the second generation, it differs from the newer editions by a more rectangular shape, a shorter hood without a sun visor and a much smaller bag.

The Stokke Xplory has been awarded many design awards including the Red Dot. 2013 saw the launch of the Stokke Xplory based on the idea of raising the seat high up to promote close contact with the parent. The bucket seat is reversible, can be used as parent or forward-facing. You have three recline options when the seat is parent-facing - upright, semi-reclined and a lie flat, and two positions - upright and semi-reclined when forward-facing. The foot rest does not lift up, but its length can be adjusted. The seat is suitable for children approximately 6 months of age and older, however, using the optional newborn insert, it can be used from birth. A car seat can also be added to the chassis using the adapters (newer models don’t need the adapters). Since 2005, you can add a carrycot as well.

I've never tried anything worse. All wrong.

I wasn't even pregnant yet, but I knew that one day it would be mine

gabi - 12 Apr 2023

At the time, when I found it on the net, it was not imported to out country. I wasn't even pregnant yet, but I knew that one day it would be mine - and for me, it was the best, and always will be.

I didn't like this stroller until I tried it in person

Miru - 13 Jan 2023

Bassinet just the right size
Pushchair up to 3 years
Kits can be changed
Large bags
The car seat can be reclined and looks like a smaller cot
Can be pushed with one hand
Handle can be positioned in two positions
Sear faces both directions

It has no basket
Not suitable for off-road, forest, etc.
Urban stroller only
Does not have a footmuff

I didn't like this stroller until I tried it in person. I recommend trying every stroller live. You can buy lots of accessories, style kits, a footmuff, etc.
