7.7

Solid Choice

The Oyster Gravity+ is a well-regarded stroller that offers a premium feel and functionality at a reasonable price point. Parents highlight its lightweight, compact design and stylish aesthetic as key strengths. While the initial setup can be tricky, most find the stroller easy to manoeuvre and compatible with a range of car seats and carrycots. A few caution that it may struggle on very rough or muddy terrain, but overall the Gravity+ seems to strike a nice balance between form and function for urban-dwelling families.

What parents love

Lightweight and compactAt just 9.5kg, the Oyster Gravity+ is praised as one of the most lightweight and portable strollers on the market, making it easy to carry and store.
Gravity-defying foldThe stroller's ingenious gravity fold mechanism allows it to stand upright on its own after a simple two-click process, eliminating the need for heavy lifting.
Premium featuresParents highlight the Gravity+'s luxury touches like the hand-stitched leatherette handlebar, large extendable canopy, and compatibility with a range of accessories.

Worth knowing

Tricky initial setupSeveral parents note that assembling the Gravity+ for the first time can be a bit fiddly and unintuitive, though most get the hang of it quickly.
Struggles on rough terrainWhile the stroller handles well on smooth surfaces, a few parents report it can feel less stable and manoeuvrable on uneven ground or heavy mud.
Raincover fitSome users find the included raincover to be a very tight fit, making it difficult to get on and off the stroller.

Best for

  • Urban and suburban families
  • Parents who value a lightweight, compact design
  • Those seeking a premium stroller at a reasonable price

May not suit

  • Frequent users of rugged, off-road terrain
  • Parents who struggle with tricky initial setup
