Joie Litetrax E
The Joie Litetrax E is the Litetrax line stroller in a simpler, yet lighter and quicker-folding design. Multiple features in a more minimalist version - a strap seat back recline, non-extending canopy, outward folding with a strap in the seat, plastic plate handle - contribute to a more affordable price that will please the young parent in the city, in addition to the weight reduction.
At the same time, convenient one-hand folding and compatibility with an adapter-free car seat make the Litetrax E a great affordable companion for shopping, quick transfers or travel. The stroller is not compatible with a conventional bassinet, but the non-reversible seat can be fully reclined, which, when used with a car seat or a universal soft cot/cocoon, means the model can be used from birth.

Parent reviews of the Joie Litetrax E
I was deciding between the Britax B-Agile M and the Joie Litetrax E. I chose the Litetrwx, but I am still not that sure I did well.
The suspension is stiff, but I heard the same about the Britax. The front wheels are a bit noisy on cobblestones and another uneven terrain. The thing I mind, compared to the B-Agile M, is the canopy - it's shorter on the Joie. I am also not that fond of the strap recline. The padding is, however, nice on the seat, and the overall functioning, including the folding system, is working fine.
You'll get what you pay for - it's nice, but nothing crazy good.
A nice budget pushchair. Spacious.
