Joie Mytrax
.eli
The Joie Mytrax is a higher model based on the Joie Litetrax 4 Air. Th Mytrax is a stroller featuring all-terrain wheels equipped with suspension which can handle even a rougher terrain. Another advantage is a height adjustable handlebar to suit all parents. The Mytrax is relatively lightweight. You can fold it one-handedly by lifting the strap on the seat.
The upgraded hood is ventilated and extendable by unzipping. Another addition is the melange fabrics available in new colors. The non-reversible seat can be reclined fully, sufficient even for babies from birth. You can also place the baby into a car seat or a carrycot that has to be purchased separately. Compared to the Litetrax strollers, the Mytrax offers a possibility to take the seat off the chassis completely, so the carrycot or the car seat can be added to the bare chassis without the seat present.

Parent reviews of the Joie Mytrax
- Huge extending hood with SPF protection
- Big seat unit, great for tall children
- Rain cover has good coverage
- Adjustable handle
- Compact fold
- Large basket
- Easy to use, reliable brakes
- VERY noisy wheels
- Small basket opening which is hard to access, especially when the seat is reclined
- Bulky rain cover
- Not the most lightweight stroller
- Bumper bar has to be fully removed every time you want to get your child in and out
A good all round stroller for the price, the seat is amazing and was the main selling point for my tall toddler, really comfy and the back rest is very tall. The basket is lovely and spacious, but has a very small opening so can't get anything much bigger than a child's backpack in there. The raincover has amazing coverage but is very bulky and if you can manage to squeeze it into the basket it takes up all of the space. The stroller folds down easily and is very compact once folded and I also found it easy to steer. However, the constant rattling from the wheels on anything other than a smooth surface was just too much for me, it sounded like I was pushing a tea trolley on the school run every day and we ended up trading it in for a different stroller after only 4 months which is a real shame as it is a lovely pram aside from that.
- folded and unfolded in seconds
- the telescopic handle with height adjustment was one huge plus for us, both my partner and I very much welcomed this feature
- full recline
- large basket
- two legrest positions
- extended canopy
- I really appreciate the rear inflatable wheels
- a drink holder and a rain cover were available to purchase
- unfortunately the front wheels stumble slightly on uneven surfaces, nothing terrible
- you have to buy the footmuff separately
We are very happy with the pushchair. The only minus it has for us is the front wheels stumbling on uneven surfaces, but once you drive on flat ground you don't know about them at all. The Joie itself is a very nice pushchair, we have the Pavement variant and couldn't have chosen better - the colour is exactly what I expected it to be - a lovely rich dark grey.
- Simplicity and elegance
- Inflatable wheels
- Load capacity
- Large canopy
- Quick folding
- None at all
Light, compact and perfect...
We needed a pushchair that had a high load capacity, was easy to store in the car, and also had an eye-catching look. The Joie Mytrax delivered on all that.
Simple and elegant in appearance. Convenient one-touch folding. Carrying capacity like few sports cars. And the inflatable wheels as a bonus, so we have no problem on any accessible terrain.
After switching my larger travel system for the Joie Mytrax pushchair, I am not at all unhappy, just feel that the storage basket is smaller and not as accessible as what I was used to. I can't fault the pushchair, though, as most baskets were like that on this type of pushchair (even with other brands).
A great pushchair. I'd recommend it happily :)
- high weight capacity
- nice wheels
- high weight
- not spacious enough for older toddlers
- the central joints are very strained when the pushchair is folded
- starts to rattle over time
It is quite small, given its weight capacity of 30 kg.
- Very compact
- XXL canopy with a sun visor!
- Telescoping handlebar
- Good even for harsh terrain
- Cup Holder
- I miss an apron
- No sold-separately accessories like the canopy, the seat upholstery, a handlebar/bumper bar covers or harness padding
I only changed it (for a reversible one) because my son needed to see me.
The seat space could be larger; otherwise, I find it spacious and comfortable enough. Good even for winter clothing plus a footmuff.
It's a very good, beautiful pushchair. That HUGE canopy is really luxurious. And the handlebar that telescopes out is a big plus. But you always will find something negative (on any pushchair) - for me it's the weight, and also the fact that you cannot buy a spare canopy or upholstery just so when you need it. Even though the canopy is UPF50+ protective, it fades in the sun - which is a shame, because otherwise it's very nice, and you can even remove it for washing!
The best pushchair I ever had. 😊
- lightweight
- compact
- comfortable
- the bumper bar is a bit difficult to remove and not gate-opening
The Joie Mytrax is really a great stroller.
- folding system and folded size
- XXL canopy
- lay-flat
- waterproof fabrics
- all-wheel suspension
- adjustable handlebar
- nice design
- rattling front wheels - you need to put a rubber in between the joint
- bulky rain cover - but it's better when you take out its reinforcement
Since we go everywhere with our car, we looked for a pushchair that will fit nicely in ours - and the Mytrax did check this box. It folds nice and flat. I also love the waterproof fabrics - they protect well, combined with the canopy size, even when it starts raining and you don't have your rain cover with you. The only downside would be those rattling front wheels - but we put rubber in the joints, and it's much better. Otherwise, the pushchair is ok even on worse terrain - we tried a field, grass, all was fine...
Your questions about the Joie Mytrax
How do I pump up the rear tyres on the stroller?
Hey, Becca,
With a simple hand pump, kind of like for a bicycle. If your pump doesn't fit in the space, try visiting a bike shop around you, they should be able to try and suggest the best pump for you or even help with the inflating.
Hi,
Is the 94cm seat length when the seat is reclined? My 89cm 2-year-old still regularly naps out and about in the pushchair and is currently having to scrunch up on his side to avoid hanging over the ends! Thanks
Hey, Tasia,
The seat surface length should be approximately that, yes. However, the proportions are more important and in each case work out differently - e.g., the leg rest on this one is quite short, so your son's feet will pretty surely protrude rather soon (I mean, they already are protruding, and there's probably a bit space over his head, I assume, which is the rest of the seat's length). That leg rest shortness is rather normal, but of course there are also strollers with different proportions.
In general, this is not a crazy long seat, though the larger your kid will be, the more he will have to have his legs bent when truly sleeping in a pushchair.
I don't know which to choose between the Mytrax, Litetrax 4 and Versatrax... the noisy wheels concern me a bit!
Hey, Imez,
The wheels - which are a bit looser, and that's why they can get noisy, can be made better rather easily, by putting rubber bands in the joints. These three models have it rather similar, with the Versatrax being a bit better off.
However, as a reversible pushchair, the Versatrax is better for smaller kids and will last less long (also will be bulkier). The Litetrax is a good basic model, while the Mytrax is a little sturdier and more all-terrain, but also a tad heavier.
What is the angle of the seat back in the most upright position (my child needs as near 90 degrees as possible)?
Hi, Brian,
The seat is definitely not 90-degrees when fully upright. It is around 100-105 degrees.
Hi there,
Can I remove the hood to wash in a washing machine? X
Hey there, Gemma,
I wouldn't really do it. It might be possible with a bit (or a lot) of fiddling with the connections but really, washing a (dark, but any, to be honest) canopy in the washing machine asks fr the canopy to either be torn, to not be able to put it back in the wires, or to fade the color. I would hand-clean it only - I mean, I cleaned almost anything with Waterwipes, but if too dirty to clean with wet wipes, I'd use a foaming agent and a mild brush and a wet + dry cloth.
Here's a stroller cleaning and maintenance guide to help you out with quite a few tips and tricks as to how to clean your pushchair without damaging it.
Hi, will the Joie Litetrax wheels fit on my Joie Mytrax? I don’t find that the terrain wheels are good enough.
Hello!
I will disappoint you, but no, you won't fit the Joie Litetrax wheels on the Mytrax comfortably. They are smaller, and the ride would be affected, so you won't help yourself much. The front wheels do have the same housing design, the rear wheels are, however, narrower, and I wouldn't recommend trying to fit them. An easier way is to simply swat the pushchair - try a classified ad, somebody might be willing to change a Litetrax for a Mytrax ;-)
To add to it, the Litetrax wheels also do get noisy in the front, if that is your problem with the Mytrax wheels. If so, get two sealing rubbers and put them in the place where the front wheel is connected to the pushchair frame - it might help.
Sorry I didn't help more, but even the manufacturer doesn't state any compatibility, meaning even if you pushed them in somehow, you might end up with even worse driving and a possibility of a wheel falling down at any moment...
...and I would also ask you to leave a review for the Joie Mytrax you own - I mean, I bet other parents will really appreciate an opinion on why are the Mytrax wheels not that great... Thank you 🙏
