Joovy Groove Stroller Green

Like two strollers in one! The Groove sets a new standard for premium umbrella strollers. It includes all of the features you expect from a high-end stroller - a lightweight aluminum frame, reclining seat, oversized canopy with extending sun visor, drink holders, zippered storage and a linked parking brake.
These unexpected additions give your Groove the edge - all-season seat pad with warm soft fleece on one side and cool wicking fabric on the other side, a rain cover and a zippered hanging storage bag to hold all of these accessories.
If that’s not enough, the Groove comes with two complete sets of seats and canopies. Yes, two seats, two canopies, two harnesses. That means you can remove your primary seat, clean it and still use the Groove with the second seat. Whatever color you choose, you also get a black seat and canopy to go with it! No other umbrella stroller offers the versatility, functionality or value of the Joovy Groove.

User Ratings and Reviews
4 Stars Great stroller
Purchased this stroller for my 9 month old for a trip to Florida. My 2 and half year old has an Inglessina (which is wonderful too). What I loved about this stroller was the ease in pushing and my daughter appeared comfortable, especially when she slept in the recline position. Best feature was the canopy which provided more shade than any other stroller I have ever seen. Only bad thing was that it was difficult to fold and unfold at times and is a little heavier than some other higher end umbrella strollers. However, it is well worth it!
2 Stars Premium Stroller that is Junk
Joovy is supposed to be a premium manufacturer of strollers but this stroller squeaks horribly. The stroller appears to be made with high quality materials except for the wheels. The front and rear are cheaply made and make noise continously. We bought this stroller for a trip to Disneyland and were very dissatisfied with it’s performance.
3 Stars Roomy, Comfortable Umbrella Stroller for Child
I bought the pink Groove for my 22-mth old. She’s tall, and has oodles of space above her head before she hit the sunshade. The seatback is taller than most umbrella strollers. I don’t think she could possibly outgrow this stroller. I could just fit myself (140 pounds, 5′ 6″) in the wide, extra deep seat! The foot rest comes up for extra napping length or to rest legs out on it. Fantastic recline - I would use this for a newborn without a concern (maybe tuck more padding underneath baby perhaps?) The recline mechanism is extremely smooth and actually one-handed. The fabric is thick and good quality - canvasy on front, possibly weather-protective on outside. The light pink is pastel and very vibrant/bright. The sunshade is magnificent (the real reason I bought this stroller) - unbeatable for sunny vacations. While this has an umbrella fold, I do not feel it is that compact - deep from top to bottom, about 15″ wide even when folded and extra long in trunk. Also on the heavy side (for an umbrella stroller) for packing and unpacking or carrying whilst folded. The steering was fine on level ground, but it was quite a load pushing my 23 pound child with the 17 pound stroller uphill. It rode over grass no problem. Wheels are squeaky - typical these days. Handles extremely comfortable - I did constantly kick the back of the stroller wheels, though. The pocket on the back of the fabric is good for probably wallet, cellphone, keys and a couple of diapers and wipes. The drinkholders hold a 16oz water bottle but nothing wider, so not terribly functional, however you could put your cellphone/keys in this spot if you wanted, as it does velcro shut. Forget about using the basket for anything more than throwing individual small items in. Whilst it is an average-sized umbrella stroller basket, even with the seat fully upright, the access space from front to back is about 5 inches - most people would not fit a diaper bag through this space (I’ve never used a diaper bag, but even I was largely unimpressed with this basket). This really was a bit of a deal-breaker for me, as this was to be an outdoor vacation (x 3) stroller, so I figured an accessible, if not large, basket would be pretty necessary. I really wanted to like and keep this stroller (!), and may have if I didn’t already have 2 other strollers (jogger for daily, rugged walks and freebie featureless umbrella stroller), but the large fold and extremely hard to access, small basket tipped me over the edge, and I returned my product. I figured I could pay a lot less to kick the back of a stroller (!) and to have a tiny basket. I also felt it handled bumps etc in an extremely average fashion - again, I could pay less to have bumps and jolts for the kiddo! Having said all that, my kid LOVES this stroller and will probably bawl when she realizes it’s going back in exchange for the Esprit Sun Speed (half this price). Bottom line, if your kid naps a lot, this stroller would be a godsend. It also would be brilliant for sunny climes. Also reasonable stroller (because of full recline) if you don’t have a ‘car’ stroller yet, to take your kid right through from newborn phase to probably age 4 or 5.
4 Stars Joovy Groove is better for older kids
We bought this stroller for my (then) 2-year-old since the weight limit is high and the canopy is perfect for taller kids. It folds pretty easily, although sometimes the bars in back don’t like to close up. The clip for locking the stroller closed is very cheap and scratches the frame. Love the drink holders and small pocket in the canopy. The canopy is huge and provides a lot of sun coverage. Underseat basket is okay - wish it was a little bigger. It pushes very nicely, although, like everyone else noted, the wheels will squeak. Some WD-40 took care of that in a jiffy! I have owned many, many strollers (Peg Perego Uno, Peg Perego Pliko P3, Bugaboo Cameleon, Quinny Freestyle, BOB Dualie, Peg Perego Venezia, Mutsy 4Rider Next, Zooper Salsa, Britax Vigour), and all have their advantages and disadvantages. But as far as umbrella strollers go, I’d rank this near the top. I just wish it had a snack tray or kid’s cup holder.
5 Stars Great stroller
After a lot of research I decided to try this stroller. I love it! The color is great and the accessories that come with it is even better; it’s like having two strollers in one! My baby girl rides comfortably also. It is compact and fits great in my small trunck and still allows plenty of room for groceries and things. The large canopy keeps the sun off easily. I am so glad that i chose this stroller
