Adventure. Journey. Expedition. Sounds like heading off on a trip of a lifetime doesn’t it? Ask most people to describe parenting and you’ll no doubt hear the same words. Whether you’re embarking on the adventure trip of a lifetime, or beginning your journey of parenting, you need the right gear to navigate your jungle of choice, be it off road or urban.

 

Emile Kuenen, creative director at Joolz, is spot on in his take on how it feels to be out and about as parents, and it’s for this reason that he developed the new, limited edition Joolz Day Expedition pram. He says, “You’ll probably never walk as many miles outside as you do as a young parent, and often it feels like an expedition whether you get out in your hometown or some place new. You experience the environment and the way you enjoy it in a totally new perspective. My inspiration for this special edition came from the city jungle life of parents or those who make their miles in the rougher countryside.”

 

That new perspective is that of a child. You see what they see, which, if they are in most of the prams available, isn’t much! Have you ever been somewhere, like the zoo for example, and wondered why you even bought your pram, so often are you lifting your child out to hold them high enough to see anything? The Joolz Expedition seat is significantly higher than most prams, giving your child the opportunity to have more than just peoples knee caps at their eye level! Not to mention the ease in which you can lift your child in and out of the seat, and how wonderfully you can make eye contact as you walk, talk and discover the world around you together. This extra height also means that you no longer need to take up so much space at your local café or restaurant, as the pram, (with the bumper bar removed), can be pushed right up to the table and double as a highchair! Tall or short, the pram is designed ergonomically to provide enough space behind the chair for long or short legs and the handle bars are fully height adjustable. You could say it’s the pram that’s been designed with both parents AND children in mind.

Now to the part we mothers most care about…..accessories, looks and storage. On the back and front seat of the chair, there are smart little bags perfect for holding your keys, phone, wallet etc. A strap off the sun hood offers a perfect hanging place for a toy chain, little chimes or whatever your little passenger likes to play with while out and about. In hotter climates, sun protection is a big must have and The Joolz Expedition won’t leave your child feeling the heat. The sun hood offers great ventilation with its mesh opening and, when fully extended provides important shade for your child’s face.

 

All this practicality doesn’t mean the pram is short on style. Quite the opposite in fact! The chassis and frame of the Joolz Day Expedition come in a special shady grey, which gives it an extra stylish and sturdy ‘camouflage’ look. The colour of the fabric is mostly a beautiful subtle greyish green, but in some parts it looks even more compelling with the use of anthracite fabric on the sun hood, cot and back of the seat. For this edition, the handlebar and the bumper bar are made of comfortable leatherette in matching black snake leather.

Are you ready to get exploring with your child? Ready for your expedition to begin? The Joolz Day Expedition is delivered as a complete package including chassis, frame, seat unit, cot, bag, shopping basket, rain cover and Nursery Bag all included for $1499.95.
