Joie Float
DISCONTINUED in 2015
The Joie Float is an ultra-light stroller with a specific design. Because of its features and the low weight, it is a good alternative to an umbrella stroller. The handlebar is reversible, which allows you to change the direction of the travel. You can also adjust the height of the handlebar. The seat is positioned slightly higher. It can be reclined sufficiently to use the Float from birth in the role of a secondary stroller.
