Zoe Tour V3 Stroller Review
The Zoe Tour V3 is Zoe's newest everyday lightweight stroller. It adds an included newborn cocoon, a no-rethread harness with a magnetic buckle, an adjustable handlebar and wider car seat adapter options, while keeping a 60 lb seat capacity at $299.

Real-World Performance
Airport travel
Good. It is light at 14.5 lbs, but the fold is larger than Velivolo's overhead bin guideline, so plan to gate-check. Zoe sells a Tour travel bag for the trip below the plane.
Car trunk and storage
Fair. The fold measures 26.75 x 21.75 x 10 inches without the belly bar, longer than ultra-compact travel strollers.
City sidewalks
Very good. Light weight, an adjustable handlebar and a 16.5 x 15.5 inch basket make daily errands easy.
Newborn use
Very good. The included cocoon and 155 degree recline make it newborn-ready, or you can click in an infant car seat with a Zoe adapter.
Theme parks
Very good. The 60 lb seat capacity suits older toddlers who walk part of the day and ride the rest.
Rough terrain
Fair. The 6 inch front and 6.25 inch rear wheels are best on pavement. Zoe sells optional all-terrain wheels.
