Joie Muze (LX)
.eli
The Joie Muze is a lightweight, affordable stroller with a higher weight capacity. The smaller wheels are destined for less demanding walks. The fully reclining seat is suitable from birth. By adding a car seat, you can create a travel system.
The older Muze versions can be recognized by the solid, full wheels and different fabrics. The Muze with a dark chassis and lighter wheels is the LX version of the stroller; however, it is sold under the original name, the Joie Muze.

- Great to steer
- Positionable
- Trays for food and drink
- Sun shade
- Lightweight
- None
The best travel stroller I know. Lightweight, foldable, reclining, storage trays for baby and parents, sun shade, baby is well covered. Perfect for the sea to the plane. Simply the best. Can be unfolded and folded with one hand.
- Lightweight
- Compact, takes up little space
- Folds easily
- Drinks tray etc.
- Easy to handle
- Not for terrain
- I miss inflatable wheels
Superb buggy, lightweight, easy to handle.
A nice buggy for the car, compact. Nice folding system. Spacious basket. Good recline, just I missed a more upright position. The tray for the child is simply superb.
It is not good for terrain at all. And the fabric removal for washing is a catastrophe!
- lightweight
- compact
- short backrest
- materials used
A very lightweight, compact stroller that, thanks to its size, fits pretty much everywhere. I had it for almost a year, but because of the short backrest, we had to change it at one point.
- Lightweight
- Easy to push, even with one hand
- Well-working brakes
- Spacious
- Small wheels
We use this stroller for traveling. I really appreciate the spaciousness and the easy push, and the fold is also very nice. The wheels are, however, too small for any terrain or snow - so we're not using it in winter. Since it's not our primary stroller, we don't mind. It fulfills our criteria - to be lightweight, compact - so we're satisfied with it.
A terrible rattle. In the city, I feel like it will break down in the middle of the walk. This stroller is suitable only for shopping.
After the first use, wheels began to creak extremely. My little one would never fall asleep there. We filed a complaint.
An excellent pushchair for the city and everyday terrain. A cup holder for the kid and the parents, large basket, easy to push...
- Low weight
- Compactness
- I didn't find any
Lightweight, easy manipulation as well as folding in the car. Ideal for traveling.
- Tray for the child
- Tray for the parent
- Spacious shopping basket
- Possibility to change the 5-point harness into a 3-point system
- Poor attachment of the basket - without being loaded it is banging into the chassis
- Creaks even after being lubricated
- Rattles
- Position of the canopy doesn't hold in place
This buggy really disappointed me. I trusted the reviews and bought it... But it is very shaky. The seller lists wheels suspension, but I do not know where it should be found, I don't feel any - maybe that is the reason why it feels like a rattle. In reality, I also do not like the canopy material. Even though it protects the child from the sun (UV 50 protection), it does not hold in its position.
I had an opportunity to try a different buggy, and the quality of these two cannot be compared - this is so much worse.
After our vacation, we will definitely sell it!
Your questions about the Joie Muze (LX)
Does the JOIE MUZE LX 4-WHEEL TRAVEL SYSTEM, COAL come with a capsule ?
Hey, Lokiah,
This depends on where you are buying it. It CAN come with a car seat, but some offers and stores expect you to add / buy a car seat extra. So the best to do is to ask in the shop you're thinking about getting it from. Just call or email and ask whether the travel system is supplied with the Juva car seat already, or you need to purchase that seprately.
Is the Muze travel system compatible with other brands including its own? And does it come with a detachable carrycot (as there no pics of this), also is the stroller back completely flat - as it doesn’t look like it?
Hey Mel,
This is quite a cheap pushchair, and it is not a full-sized, full-featured travel system. It only can accept the car seat meant for this particular model (which clicks on the bumper bar), no other, including Joie car seats, will fit on it as there are no adapters. No bassinet is available for this model either.
The seat offers a full recline, however it is not 180 degrees - according to the European norm, more than 150 degrees is an angle considered a full recline suitable for smaller babies as well. The angle is around 170-175 degrees, really, and even babies that don't sit yet will be just alright in the stroller. I personally would only use it with a newborn if I used a kind of universal insert soft cot or cocoon - without it, it feels too open. Also, a tad rattly, so maybe that could also cause discomfort.
