I go through all the updates in detail here -
• Joolz Aer+ vs Joolz Ae...
Joolz Aer+ Newborn Recline
I know this will be the biggest question people will have about the Joolz Aer+ but unfortunately Australia WILL NOT be getting the full newborn recline that will be available in other parts of the world, which means we also will miss out on the updates to the seat recline mechanism.
So what updates do we get?
Bigger and Better Sun Hood
The sunhood on the original Joolz Aer was one of the more generous sun hoods on a travel stroller, but the Joolz Aer+ took things a whole lot further! When the sunhood is extended the Joolz Aer+ comes down so far that your little one will have nearly complete protection from sun, wind and weather.
More Durable & More Sustainable Fabrics
With the Joolz Aer+ range you have more options for sustainable fabrics. Joolz teams with Waste2wear w\ho creates fabrics from recycled plastic. But they don’t just get the plastic bottles that come out of our recycling bins - they have an Ocean Plastic Project, collecting plastic from coastal areas and then are turned into usable fabric.
Only the Refined Black in the Joolz Aer range was made with these fabrics, however the Joolz Aer+ Lovely Taupe and Joolz Aer+ Amazing Anthracite are also made with recycled material.
On top of that the fabric on the Joolz Aer+ is a bit sturdier on the seat liner compared to the Joolz Aer. Although the Joolz Aer fabric has a lovely and soft jersey knit feel - it could catch a bit on velcro (i.e. toddlers shoes!)
Relocated Shoulder Harness Buckle
I did feel like I was doing a “spot the different” puzzle to see this one! The buckle to adjust the shoulder straps on the Joolz Aer+ has been relocated closer to the centre of the harness. Firstly it does look a bit neater and also allows for the Joolz Aer+ to have the similar shoulder pad design to the Joolz Day, Geo and Hub ranges that lifts away from the seat to make it a little easier to get your baby in and out of the seat.
