Joolz Aer+ as our main pram?

Hello- I have an old iCandy Peach (4th hand!) that I’m wanting to replace.

Really interested in the Joolz Aer+. It has great reviews as a travel stroller, but does anyone have any thoughts on using it as the MAIN pram from birth (using their carrycot).

Is it comfy, durable and reliable enough as a full time main pram?
Thanks!

I've been using it as my main pram (baby is 10 months) the only thing I don't like so much is that now that I switched to the seat, baby is no longer facing me - I previously had a bugaboo bee.
Loved it in bassinet mode. Folds easily and so compact even with the bassinet attached.

Thanks so much for your thoughts.
yes- world facing only option put me off a bit. It’s a good point.
I don’t think any of the compact prams/strollers offer that option, do they.
Annoying!

We have the YoYo as the main pram which is a similar category of stroller, so does almost everyone else around here (SW London) unless they’re using a double. I love how light it is and easy to push. I can’t speak for the durability of the Joolz but my YoYo is nearly 7 years old so no issues there. I don’t think the lack of parent facing seat is a big deal at all, as I said everyone is using outward facing compact strollers around here! The basket is small but I don’t need to drag tons of stuff about with me, and I have clips on the handlebars for older ones school bags.

Thank you so much. Really helpful. So have you used to is from birth with the carrycot. Is the recline ok? I went to have a look at it in person today and the sales assistant told me it only had two settings- either fully reclined or totally upright? When I’ve done a bit more reading, it seems you can alter the recline as you want? It’s super easy on my ICandy- is it easy enough on the Joolzaer+? It’s just my 6 month old is a bit to unstable to sit in the fully upright, so I slight recline would be good!
