Joie Crosster Flex Signature
The Joie Crosster Flex Signature is a higher version of the Crosster - a robust, all-terrain three-wheeled stroller with an excellent suspension and an XXXL ventilated hood. The Flex Signature Edition features all the advantages of the Crosster as well as the premium melange Signature fabrics and leatherette details. The specific suspension of the seat (added to the basic suspension system) offers up to 50 % more comfortable ride and looks more luxurious too.
The massive hood with two integrated bottle holders will cover the seat up to the bumper bar even when the seat is fully reclined. Thanks to the adjustable suspension system, wheels with no-maintenance tires, and a handbrake, this all-terrain stroller can also be used for light jogging (if your child can already sit independently). You can recline the front facing seat fully. Thanks to the adapters for various brands of car seats including Joie, usable also for the enlarged Ramble XL carrycot, the Crosster Flex Signature can be transformed into any desired stroller system suitable right from birth.

Parent reviews of the Joie Crosster Flex Signature
- Large hood
- Large wheels
- Comfortable seat (for the child)
- Large basket for anything you need to take with you
- A 'bag' behind the basket, closable with a zipper
- Perfect storage pockets on the hood
- Squeaking
- Short handlebar - I kicked the rear axle
- Too wide, I almost didn't fit in our elevator
I had it three days then returned it. The main reason was that it squeaked loudly.
- wheel suspension
- seat (and backrest) padding
- extra pockets in the basket and on the back part of the canopy
- extra-large canopy
- quality materials with nice detailing
- they say it lays flat, but it is not a real 180-degree lay-flat. I don't think it's a disadvantage, I just expected different (and my DS doesn't mind)
- the sitting position is also not totally upright, I miss about an inch, but somehow I expected a more upright seat
- no hinge on the bumper bar - you have to remove it completely (it doesn't gate-open) - but this is normal for all the Joie pushchairs
I am very happy with it. Not the best one for shopping centers or small shop aisles, but even with that weight and size it pushes very nicely.
The seat, and its backrest, are soft, padded with memory foam. The child sits higher above the ground, which provides a better view and a kind of closeness to the parent. Also, the pushchair goes through anything, and it does it in silence.
I bought it as a pushchair with suspension, for all-terrain use, and because of the full-sized, full-features seat similar to Litetrax Air.
Your questions about the Joie Crosster Flex Signature
Where can I buy this stroller, please? I can’t seem to find it on any UK website.
Hi, Di,
I am sorry, but unfortunately, the Crosster Flex Signature as well as the Joie Crosster are discontinued already, so they are not available in online stores anymore (if so, then only as the last "old" pieces). The manufacturer didn't say if they will be produced again (which is a shame, as it was a very reliable model, actually).
I would suggest checking any classifieds or eBay if truly insisting on this model.
