Joie Litetrax 4 Air
.eli
The Joie Litetrax 4 Air is a higher version of the lightweight Joie Litetrax 4. Compared to the basic version, the Litetrax 4 Air has four terrain wheels with tires which can handle even a rougher terrain. The Litetrax 4 Air also offers upgraded fabrics that are available in dark colors. Thanks to the full recline of the non-reversible seat, you can use this stroller from birth. The baby can be also carried in a carrycot or a car seat, both available separately. The newer version (2017 and later) can be recognized by the foam-filled, no puncture front tires.

Parent reviews of the Joie Litetrax 4 Air
- light weight
- design
- storage
- not stable
- absolutely not for terrain
Compared to an X-lander, it's a really big difference. You can see that it's much less stable, the terrain doesn't feel nice to ride on, and even the normal ride is kind of shaky. Luckily my older son has it for sleeping and light walks. Otherwise nice design and a big plus is the storage and lightness.
It handles great, it's compact and cushioned 😍
- None
All about this was great.
- large canopy
- suspension
- good wheels
- holes between the seat and the canopy / missing Velcro /
- inability to position the parental handle
I have nothing major to complain about the stroller, it was fine.
- easy to handle
- one-hand folding
- inflatable rear wheels
- folds completely flat
- I found none
Great pushchair.
- compact
- practical
- one-hand folding
- canopy with UV protection
- tray for personal belongings
- just facing the street
A very practical stroller - especially for a mom who often travels alone by car. The stroller can be folded with one hand and fits in a smaller suitcase. The wheels can handle even a tougher terrain, but not the most demanding. I would definitely not recommend this stroller for that.
The tray on the handle is a big plus for me. Large storage basket, but you can only store things in it when you raise the backrest. The brake is only located on one side, so you don't trip when walking like with other strollers. The canopy on the stroller is THE BEST! I would still welcome the ability to flip the handle in both directions. However, I am very happy with the stroller.
The perfect stroller for some terrain. One-handed handling was important for me. Easy to fold and unfold. For me the perfect stroller at a reasonable price. I have no reservations.
- Great back and leg positioning
- The sun canopy is sufficient
- Wheels have good suspension
- Access to the basket when the back is down is poor
I am extremely satisfied with the stroller :) Apart from the access to the basket to the stroller I have no negatives to pinpoint, everything works as it should :)
- Po kamenoch kus drnkoce, ale nic hrozne
I have a Litetrax 4 Air 2018 and I can write that it is a perfect stroller. Big hood, big basket, back positioning with a lever, a counter, folds perfectly, has a big plastic cover.
It's easy to control with one hand, it's great to push. The whole cover can be taken off, finally, I don't trip on the brake. Otherwise, the clips on the sides of the hood are used for attaching the leg cover - such as the one at the Joie Muze 😉 I'm very satisfied with the stroller 👍👍👍👍👍
- The sun canopy can be extended
- Inflatable rear wheels
- Handles off-road terrain
- Goes to full recline/full sitting position
- Nice design
- Tray on the handle
- Child sits/lays comfortably in it
- Spacious basket
- Bulky rain cover
- Otherwise, nothing
My dream stroller and the best choice I could have made.
Your questions about the Joie Litetrax 4 Air
Would you choose it as your main stroller for a 5+ baby that already likes to face the road? We like traveling and often have to use city's and countrysides hardships so we need a good suspension stroller, plus easy to fold.
Thanks!
Hello Magda,
Well, do you mean a 5 months+, or 5 years+? I am going to guess you mean a five months old baby, in which case, if you as well as the little one are ok with facing just forward, and you will keep the baby in the reclined position until the baby sits by itself, without any help or you pulling him or her upward, then yes, it's an ok solution. The larger wheels with air, and the superbly padded seat will work nicely.
However, keep in mind this is more of an urban model with some capability going over bumps, it is not an all-terrain beast - so if the terrain you have in mind is truly harsh, then you will need a larger-wheeled stroller with more suspension, e.g. a Thule Urban Glide 2 or a Baby Jogger City Elite 2.
