Stroll #1 - Smart Strolls, Real Stories
Episode 1: Melissa’s dog walking dreams come true
“The Rosa stroller brings serious innovation in a way that’s actually useful, not just flashy.”
Let’s set the scene: I’m a mom to two sweet girls (ages 4 and 1) and a high-energy 2.5-year-old chocolate lab. We live at the top of a serious hill. I never thought I’d say this, but the GlüxKind Rosa stroller actually changed how I walk my dog — and made that daily chaos feel a lot more graceful.
What We Loved
Smart Assist = Hill Hero
Before this stroller, dog walks with a stroller were a hard no. My pup pulls, and I was always nervous. But with the Ella’s hill assist and braking tech, I finally had peace of mind. Walking up our big hill felt like gliding — no more hauling a 25-pound toddler in a carrier (bless that stage, but also… ouch). One time walking down the hill, my dog lunged at a bird and pulled me forward — but the stroller stopped itself mid-incline. It was amazing!
I’ve used the Uppababy and BabyZen Yoyo, but the Glüxkind stroller felt much more like a glide.
Sleek, Clean, Snack-Proof
This stroller looks good. It’s easy to wipe down, and the color hides all the snack crumbs and toddler mayhem like a pro. Plus, there’s great storage both at the top and underneath for all your stuff (and all their stuff).
The Ride is Smoother Than Our Uppababy & BabyZen
I’ve used the Uppababy and BabyZen Yoyo, but the Glüxkind stroller felt much more like a glide. It’s smooth, assisted, and honestly made walks more enjoyable — even when my dog tried to cut in front of the wheels (not recommended, but she’s still learning).
My Husband = #1 Fan
He called it the “Snoo on Wheels” and basically gave demos to strangers. People literally said “look, it’s one of those AI strollers!” He handled the app and loved showing off features. while having a lot of great features for every day use, it’s definitely also a head turner.
A Few Things to Keep in Mind
It’s heavy. This isn’t the stroller you grab for a quick solo errand. I struggled getting it in and out of the car by myself. But! When you remove the battery, which you should to fold the stroller fully, it’s manageable. If you’ve got a garage or easy-access home, that’s the dream setup. I had two C-sections, so in the early days getting any stroller in and out of cars was not possible regardless of the weight. It’s just something to keep in mind.
Newborn rocking dreams
Since our girls are older and we don’t nap on-the-go much, we didn’t use Rosa to its full potential. BUT if you have a newborn or younger baby that sleeps in the stroller? You might fall in love with those extra features like rocking the baby, the white noise and the analytics on the app.
Final Review
If you’re looking for next-level tech to add to your parenting toolkit — you live on a hill or have a pup — this is so worth considering. The Rosa stroller brings serious innovation in a way that’s actually useful, not just flashy.
It’s not light, and it’s not for every errand. But it’s a major win for family walks, stroller pride, and that sweet spot where tech meets parenting reality.
