Joie Chrome DLX
.eli
The Joie Chrome DLX is a higher, deluxe version of the Joie Chrome featuring new, modern melange fabrics. This variable stroller can be used from birth. Compared to the basic version, the weight capacity was increased. The L-shaped chassis can handle the city as well as a slightly challenging terrain. Its shape makes the spacious basket easily accessible. The DLX's wheels are larger and equipped with a softer suspension with visible rear springs to provide a smoother ride. Foam-filled tires replaced the former rear solid wheels. The enlarged seat comes with a backrest offering 5 various recline positions including flat. You can also lift the leg rest. When the sun is too sharp, the hood can be extended to an XXL size. The stroller offers a rather compact fold even with the seat positioned in whatever direction. Once folded, you can pull the stroller behind you like luggage. The DLX is usually available in a stroller system, which can also be created from the stroller itself by purchasing an optional carrycot and/or a car seat.

- Basinet safe for occasional overnight sleep
- Separate bassinet rain cover included
- Seat and bassinet have separate frames
- Back wheels have suspension
- Adjustable handle hight
- Parent and world facing seat
- Seat lies flat so can be used from birth
- Seat hood doesn't stay on place over bumps/ wind
- Rain cover comes off at bottom once baby grows (approx 1 year-old)
- Front wheels get stuck on tiny bumps
Had this as a 3 in 1 travel system. Bassinet was great. But the seat not so much. Poor rain cover and hood on the seat.
Have used this for 14 months.
- Love the sage green colour
- The pushchair is wide and lies flat for a small baby
- It's lightweight and easily fits in my Corsa boot
- Can't find any faults so far
Great system.
- Reversible seat
- Lightweight
- Long carrycot
- Large rear wheels
- Suspension
- Adjustable handle
- Belly bar can also be unlatched from one side only
- Adjustable legs - positioning
- Long canopy
- Narrow 🤔
I bought the stroller for my 3rd baby :-) So far my 1,5 year old son uses it for longer walks - he fits in it just fine, even though he is one of the bigger kids.
- comfy seat
- large canopy coverage
- leg rest
- heavy
- bulky
- could be more spacious
Very very comfy just we outgrew it quickly. It's also quite heavy to load and unload in and out of the car trunk.
- Reversible seat
- We grew up from the seat quite quickly
A great pram, I was incredibly happy to use it.
- Lightweight
- Compact
- Reversible seat
- Can be pushed down the stairs
- Long bassinet
- Large basket under the stroller (easily accessible)
- Goes over any terrain
- Unstable-feeling frame
- Front wheels are plastic (they don't rattle, but look worn)
- Car seat adapters
I bought the stroller without reviews, as I couldn't find any anywhere. I liked it. And I don't regret it. The stroller folds together with the seat on, has an accessible and huge basket for shopping, goes over almost any terrain. Admittedly, it has an unstable frame at first try, but it has been through some things with us - and still holds up. The rear wheels are fully sprung, I can take it down the stairs. The only thing I would criticize is putting the car seat on the adapters.
For me the price-quality ratio is great.
Your questions about the Joie Chrome DLX
Chrome vs Chrome dlx. I have the basic Chrome NOT the Dlx. Just wondered if the bumper bar covers and footmuff from dlx would fit the basic chrome please?
Hey, Klaudia,
Yes, they should fit. Ideal is to try beforehand, of course, but the design is very similar and it should fit, yeah.
Hello I was wondering if the bassinet is safe for overnight sleeping?
Thank you!
Hey, Amy,
Unfortuantely, no, Joie bassinets are not tested nor recommended for overnight sleeping, the air flow is not sufficient for that.
Hi,
I have bought a joie chrome system 2nd hand. I cant find any information on the carry cot. Does it collapse or stay as it is?
Hey, Shelly,
The carrycot is one of the more basic ones, and no, it doesn't collapse (nor rock or any other special features). It just stay as it is.
Hi,
Does DLX fold with the seat in parent-facing mode? As all videos show the seat world facing when folded.
Thanks
Hey, Eva,
Yes, it does. It's a similar procedure, compared to the one when the seat is facing the street, but without folding the seat in half (instead, you recline it to a lie flat). The stroller will be a bit bigger (longer) when folded as the folded seat protrudes a bit more. This is how it will look like:
Hi,
Am I able to carry this stroller as a carry-on on planes or i have to check it in?
Hey, Mei,
Yuu will have to check it in or give away to the stewards as baby's luggage. Definitely not a cabin-sized pram, this one.
Hi,
Will the rain cover for a Joie Chrome fit on a Joie Mytrax Flex?
Hey, T,
No, it most probably won't - the seat unites are differently shaped.
Hello,
I as wondering if the Juva car seat will fit the Chrome pushchair?
Hey, Melissa,
With the Joie/Maxi-Cosi car seat adaptors for this stroller, yes, the Juva car seat line should work with the frame, yes.
Can you tell me if there are adapters available for the Joie Chrome DLX that will mean I can use the gemm or juva car seat on the pram base?
Hey, Ginsy,
The only adapters for the Chrome DLX, which fit most Joie/Maxi-Cosi/Cybex 0+ car seats, will work with the Joie Gemm car seat. You just need to get the Chrome DLX car seat adapters, the Gemm wil click on those.
Hi, can you tell me which buggy board fits the Joie Chrome DLX. Thanks
Hey, Loo,
Pretty much any universal buggy board will fit. I personally would go for a Lascal or a Bumprider which fit the most universally from my experience.
Hi Eli,
I have a Joie Chrom Carrycot. Can I use it on theLitetrax 4 or Versatrax?
If not, what can I use it on?
Thanks
Verdi
Hi, Verdi,
You can only use the Chrome carryot on the Joie Chrome and the Joie Chrome DLX, it is not compatible with other than Chrome line, I am sorry.
