Jané Nomad

DISCONTINUED in 2012
see 7 parent reviews

The Jané Nomad is a light, yet robust stroller with double front wheels providing extra stability. The chassis weights only 6.5 kg. The stroller is easily maneuverable and able to get through even a rougher terrain. The spacious seat with a high weight capacity can handle even a bigger child. It cannot be reversed, but it is fully reclinable. You can unzip and reverse the hood to change its color.

The Nomad is either sold separately or available as a stroller system with a car seat, the Matrix Pro or the Rebel Pro carrycot. You can also attach different carrycots that use the Pro-Fix system. The Nomad was also available in a version with rear air-filled wheels known as the Jané Nomad Air.

parents say thx^^
  • spacious
  • handles well
  • very long
  • large shopping basket
  • fixed handle in front of the child
  • short canopy
  • larger when folded

A great pushchair. Large and spacious for the baby, but a bit big when folded.

Bought after about 2 children and survived other kids - my 2 children.

Great for city and countrysid

Great for city and countryside. Easy to steer. For us the best.

Awesome off-roader - can handle dirt roads, cobblestones, woods, and it's a keeper - already carrying my fifth child without losing much of it's quality (only replaced bearings on front wheels and axle, rear holds 😉)

I loved everything in this stroller. Complete - full-size but light. easily manageable. The basket underneath can support a lot. If ever I need a stroller again, I would buy the same.

The best stroller I've ever driven

5
  • Very lightweight
  • Agile
  • Easy one-handed folding
  • Beautiful to look at :-)
  • Availability of spare parts
  • Goes from sitting up to lying down
  • Shorter canopy, I solved it with a visor

The best stroller I've ever driven :-) It was used with two of my children. It is easy to snap on a bassinet or a car seat. It's lightweight, has a well placed center of gravity, easy to handle. I can carry it up and down several flights of stairs with a baby inside. I have also used the original skateboard. If it comes to a third baby, I'm going back to the Jané.

  • For such a sturdy and solid stroller, it is lightweight and handles great
  • Easy to fold
  • Height adjustable handle
  • Bassinet can be used as a car seat - has a strap inside for fastening
  • Adjustable incline in the bassinet, making the head higher - great when the baby has reflux
  • Endless positions for the seat unit
  • Spacious seat
  • It had twin wheels in the front, which are impractical in terrain
  • Because the seat clicks differently on the frame, it does not allow you to make it face in the opposite direction
  • Once the seat is on, the egg can be fixed to the frame, but it looks pretty bad
  • The seat cannot be disassembled and washed
  • Less accessible shopping basket, especially when in the pushchair mode

I've used it with 2 kids, so I think it will last a while. I had the 2012 model.

If the front wheels weren't dual wheels, I don't think I would have even bought a buggy. We also used the original sibling step for a while and the stroller handled well with it. I would definitely buy it again.

Your questions about the Jané Nomad

1)

Hi, what age is this for? It says 0-36 months on the website but a 0 year old definitely couldn't fit in here....? I am trying to put my 10 month old in it and it is not working. The straps seem to be for a much bigger child e.g., lots of space between his crotch and the strap. If I tighten the straps around his body then it is too tight on the straps that go horizontal across his tummy and still loose on the upper traps around his shoulders and there is always the space in front of his crotch. Cannot figure it out!

Hello, Kate!

Firstly, the 0+ age allowance is often a faulty one OR one based mostly only on the fact that the pushchair is either compatible with a carrycot or a newborn nest/cocoon, or based on the lie-flat possibility. Here, as the seat is actually a rather large one, I would suggest a nest insert, if you did put the harness straps at the lowest possible and the tightening doesn't help.

About the nest, try something in the likes of https://www.amazon.co.uk/Newborn-Support-Cushion-Toddler-Strollers/dp/B07JMJSFX2/ref=sr_1_5?dchild=1&keywords=stroller+insert+newborn&qid=1629032307&s=baby&sr=1-5 or https://www.amazon.co.uk/KAKIBLIN-Stroller-Support-Carseat-Cushion/dp/B08BCRQTL5/ref=sr_1_2_sspa?dchild=1&keywords=stroller+insert+newborn&qid=1629032307&s=baby&sr=1-2-spons&psc=1&spLa=ZW5jcnlwdGVkUXVhbGlmaWVyPUEzQ1NLOFVMVVZYVFFZJmVuY3J5cHRlZElkPUEwMjQzNTY5MlNROUJIS0VRSFpCQSZlbmNyeXB0ZWRBZElkPUEwNjcyMzY4MjVUUDVETFc4MVozSSZ3aWRnZXROYW1lPXNwX2F0ZiZhY3Rpb249Y2xpY2tSZWRpcmVjdCZkb05vdExvZ0NsaWNrPXRydWU=. These help to reduce the amount of space in between.

Not much else to do... just simply hold on, in a few weeks, the baby will grow into the space.
