see 1 parent review

The Didofy Aster is an ultra-compact stroller great for traveling, which it makes easier thanks to the carry-on dimensions after folding as well as the MagicFold folding system that makes the buggy fold by itself after a press of a button. The low weight of 6.2 kg is accompanied by individual wheel suspension and a fully reclining seat usable even for smaller babies - however, the small wheels of the stroller and its overall small size make it suitable for urban surfaces and undemanding walks, e.g., during your holidays or as an occasional stroller.

Your questions about the Didofy Aster

1)

I have the Aster 2 & want to fit a puff muff, how do I remove the harness straps please?

Hi, Pam,

I don't think you remove the harness in any way, This is not a winter stroller and was not really meant to be used with a footmuff, and if so, than such a style that velcroes around the harness, not that which needs treading through (e.g. the Elodie Details or the Lodger footmuffs have that velcro around system). Sorry to not help you more.

I’m looking for a stroller for the nursery run - pavements but also lots of uneven bits. It needs to be suitable for my 1 year old and occasionally my tired just turned 3 year old. We’ve been through a couple of “travel strollers” that just haven’t been sturdy enough - dodgy brakes/wheels coming off etc - so I’m wondering if this will be durable enough? My toddler is normal weight so it just needs to be able to manage a few 15 min walks on some wobbly pavements a week!

Hi, Lindsay,

This buggy will be pretty much like any cheaper travel stroller you already owned, so, I am sorry to say, not too sturdy, not too roomy, not too durable. This is truly meant only for occasional use, not for daily nursery run, I'm afraid.

You need a lightweight but a tiny bit larger pushchair here, to be honest. It will last you much better, it will also be more durable, and there will be much more space and comfort for your one-year-old as well as three-year-old. Check strollers like the Oyster Zero, the Valco Snap 4, Baby Jogger City Mini2, or, perhaps, something like Kinderkraft Grande - even though here, the weight i even a bit higher, but it's also an even cheaper stroller...

In any case, such mid-size forward-facing lightweight pushchairs are still very similar in weight (just a tiny bit heavier, you won't even notice), and much better suited for what you need. I have three boys, so I really am trying to help here - these ultracompact travel strollers will be like what you already had, and you won't help yourself with what you struggle with.

Hello, my little one is quite long and so I think he’ll be tall as he gets older. Do you know if it’s suitable for taller toddlers?

Thanks, Amanda

Hello, Amanda,

Honestly, no, I would not suggest this or a similar stroller for a tall child. It is quite short since it's an ultracompact stroller, and it's also rather simple. Your boy will grow out of it around 30 months, realistically.

Rather think about a mid-size lightweight stroller, it will last you much longer (I mean, something in the likes of a Baby Jogger City Mini2).
