Joolz Day 3- Features
Seating options
One of the great features about this Joolz Day³ is that it comes with one seat frame, a toddler seat fabric, and the bassinet fabric that you can switch over based on your needs.
The seat and harness
The first thing is how comfortable the seat is? Our tester moms found their baby smiling while seated. This $1000+ stroller delivers cushiony and ergonomic, intuitively fits your loved little toddler. The maximum weight capacity is 50 lbs. The seat is positioned higher so that you don’t have to bend to reach the baby and can be used as a high chair at a restaurant.
The seat is reversible in both ways: parent facing and forward facing, reclinable in three positions: sit, relax and sleep. Moreover, the seat has an adjoining adjustable footrest, easy to adjust, and telescopic footrest. The cot design is compact with plenty of spaces, has an easy one-hand remove belly bar, and a padded 5-point harness system for comfort.
The harness is ergonomic and serves safety purposes. At the same time, it allows your baby to have the proper posture when tummy and back muscles are developing. 10/10.
Bassinet
The bassinet compatibility makes the Joolz Day³ newborn-ready. It is spacious and attachable with a standard click system. The mattress of the bassinet is completely hypodermic and blendable. The cool thing is that the canopy has two mesh windows: a zipped meshed ventilation and mesh ventilation at the back of the seat for healthy airflow necessary for your baby. Thereby you can keep an eye on it without unzipping mesh ventilation each time you want to have a peek. The bassinet fabric is also foldable for easy transport. There is a belly bar included for added safety.
Car Seat
Yes, the frame is car seat compatible. But you have to buy a car seat adapter separately since it does not come up with the box. Car-seat compatibility is a feature that is vital for you if you run errands too often. Attaching an adapter, you can attach popular Maxi-Cosi, Nuna, Joie, or Cybex car seats.

Storage basket
You will love the spacious storage basket on Joolz Day³ that can hold up to 22 lbs. The basket is highly accessible with the help of a spring mechanism.
Foldability
Even with the bold decision to cut down the auto-lock option, Joolz designers did a splendid job managing the compact shape fold of this full-sized stroller. With a few simple and easy steps, the stroller stands fold for garage storage. You can easily fold with an attached seat. In case you are using a bassinet, you have to remove the bassinet before folding it.
