Joie Ginger & Rue Travel System vs Joie Ginger DLX 4-in-1 Pramette Travel System

Both are Joie Ginger pramette travel systems with lie-flat seats and UPF 50+ canopies. The Ginger & Rue bundle adds a matching infant car seat and anti-rebound base, so it covers the first year in one purchase. The Ginger DLX is the stroller alone, heavier at about 27 lb versus 22 lb, and it does not include a car seat. Buy the Rue bundle if you need a car seat now. Buy the DLX if you already own a compatible infant seat or want a stroller that lasts to about 50 lb.

  • Choose the Joie Ginger & Rue if you want a stroller and infant car seat in one box, with a base that has an anti-rebound bar.
  • Choose the Joie Ginger DLX if you already have an infant car seat or want the stroller on its own.

What reviewers say

Joie Ginger DLX 4-in-1 Pramette Travel System

Owners generally rate the Ginger DLX well for value and versatility, calling it a solid all-in-one for the first years. The recurring complaints are weight and folded size rather than any failure in use.

What people mention
  • WeightCriticisedOwners say 12 kg makes it tiring to lift into a trunk or carry up steps.
  • Fold sizeMixedThe fold is compact for a full-size stroller but still fills much of a small boot.
  • VersatilityPraisedBuyers like getting pramette, toddler seat and car seat from one frame.
  • Ride qualityPraisedAll-terrain wheels are reported to handle gravel and grass smoothly.

Questions and answers

Which is better for a newborn?
The Ginger & Rue, because the Rue car seat and base are included and the stroller seat reclines flat. The DLX stroller also reclines flat, but you would need to buy a car seat separately.
Does the DLX include a car seat?
No. The DLX is the stroller only. The Rue bundle is the one with the infant car seat and anti-rebound base.
Which is easier to lift into a car trunk?
The Ginger & Rue stroller, at about 22 lb versus about 27 lb for the DLX. Both fold to a similar size.
How long does each last?
Both strollers are rated from birth to 50 lb. The Rue car seat is outgrown at 30 lb, so it covers roughly the first year.
Is the Rue car seat safe for air travel?
Yes. It can be installed with the vehicle seat belt without the base, which is what you need on a plane. It is certified to FMVSS 213.
Is the DLX worth stepping up to?
Only if you already own a compatible infant car seat or want the stroller alone. The Rue bundle gives you more for a new baby.
