The Oyster Zero is a light stroller with a wide, spacious seat. It cannot be reversed, but you can recline it flat, suitable even for infants that cannot sit independently. For the smallest ones, a carrycot and adapters for a car seat are also available. The advantage of this stroller is its compact, one-handed fold. The smaller wheels with soft suspension are easy to maneuver. They can handle smooth as well as rougher urban terrain. A good center of gravity is also helpful when negotiating curbs. The Oyster Zero was released in the second half of 2017 in the limited Black Stealth edition with black textiles and chassis contrasting with the burgundy bumper bar and handle.

In 2021, Babystyle's Oyster Zero evolved into an auto-folding iteration, the Oyster Zero Gravity with the autofolding function.

parents say thx^^
  • spacious even with a footmuff
  • light
  • comfortable
  • long hood
  • easy to push
  • folds well
  • positioning with a strap - but it goes easily
  • cushioned
  • does not rattle
  • solid frame
  • large basket - good accessibility also when reclined
  • foam wheels
  • the basket is a bit too low and therefore it gets dirty

The perfect pushchair. Spacious, comfortable for baby, lightweight, awesome large hood, easy to fold, and takes up little space. I wouldn't change anything about it except the foam wheels - you can see the wear on them, but it's not so terrible. For everyday use it is a very good and affordable stroller. I definitely recommend it.

It suits us in everything except wheels

It suits us in everything, except the wheels ☺

  • Extended canopy
  • Spacious
  • Lightweight
  • Easy folding
  • Foam wheels

Stylish, lightweight and, above all, practical. The only drawback are the foam wheels, which wear out quickly. But even so, I wouldn't change it 😉

Awesome!

5

Awesome! Roomy, comfortable and easy to fold as well as compact.

It's almost perfect, if it had inflatable wheels, there's nothing to fault it.

Lightweight, easy to handle

Super long canopy, lightweight, easy to handle. At first I was bothered by the rattling of the wheels, but I've gotten used to it 😂

  • Spacious
  • Easy to use
  • Large sun canopy
  • Nice design
  • Lightweight
  • Could take up less space when folded
  • Could do with better wheels
  • Doesn't go into full sitting position

The perfect stroller for those who are looking for a compromise between a pushchair and a buggy. This stroller is big, spacious, comfortable. It handles very well. It has a large sun canopy so no need for a parasol.

So far no dowsides

We are extremely satisfied with the stroller. We chose it because of its compactness and it impressed us in terms of appearance. Even though it is not a classic pushchair, it handles even a more demanding journey with ease, we even spent a week with it in the mountains 😉.

Large canopy, easy to operate

Your questions about the Babystyle Oyster Zero

1)

Hi, I’m looking for a stroller for my 2 year old, so far this looks perfect but what are the wheels made of? I don’t like plastic rattly wheels so I’m trying to avoid these. I walk everywhere so it does need to tick this box.

Hey, Dee,

The wheels are made of rubberized foam. They are not plastic an I personally was using this even on grass and so on. That being said, this stroller is not an all-terrain beast and can be noisy on very very bad surfaces, however for the most part, they are very nice and the suspension was also surprisingly nice on this pushchair for me. Do take the low weight into account and don't expect miracles, however I personally can really recommend this stroller for most city and a bit harsher use.

Does the oyster have a spacious seat and high hood height - away from toddlers head? Looking for a shopping/pavement stroller.

Thank you

Hi, Eli,

Funny, you sent your question about the Oyster Zero while I was literally just recommending it to another mom. Well, YES, the seat is huge. It doesn't have the tallest backrest, but it is tall enough for a 3-3.5 years old, and what's better, the seat is very wide. I could fit two of my boys in at the same time, occasionally, when the need arose. The hood is quite up high, so ther is space for the head even for a taller toddler, I would say up to those 3.5-4 years of age. The Oyster Zero is super light so there is a bit less padding and not creazy much features, but it is super nice to push, very light, and that canopy is just awesome.
