Stroll #4 - Smart Strolls, Real Stories

Scott and Annie, first-time parents living on the beautiful (and very steep) California coast, chose Glüxkind’s Rosa for its power-assist feature—and now glide past other struggling parents with ease. Scott tested our automatic braking on a slope with 2 day old newborn (don’t worry, it worked perfectly) and used Rock-My-Baby to soothe their son at wineries and restaurants to create time for some couple time. From navigating Alaskan trails to enjoying relaxed outings outside of wake windows, their Glüxkind stroller has delivered peace of mind and a magic bullet in their parenting toolbox. We’re proud to be part of their journey. Read about their experience below.

A Tech-Lover's Approach to Parenting

When my wife and I found out she was pregnant, I immediately went into full-on preparation mode. I’ve always been a firm believer in using technology to improve daily life—we’ve automated nearly everything in our home. So naturally, when it came to baby gear, I was on a mission: find the best baby tech out there to make this parenting journey a little smoother.

My philosophy is simple: I’ll happily pay for peace of mind and quiet time. And when I started researching strollers, one name stood out far above the rest—Glüxkind. Frankly, nothing else even came close.

What Made Glüxkind the Clear Winner

There were several features that immediately set Glüxkind apart. The power-assist motor, automatic brakes, Rock-My-Baby mode, and built-in white noise and music system were unmatched by anything else on the market.

Tackling Our Neighborhood’s Steep Hills

We live on a seriously steep hill—people literally hike it for exercise. We’ve seen parents struggle to push their strollers uphill, their exhaustion written all over their faces. Walking that hill is a workout on its own; doing it while pushing a stroller is a whole different kind of pain.

Thanks to Glüxkind’s power boost, we cruise up effortlessly. I’ve actually seen people give us envious looks as we glide past. Even on flat terrain, it just makes everyday walks in the city so much more enjoyable.

Built-In Safety That Actually Works

Runaway strollers might be a movie cliché, but when you live on a hill, it’s a real concern. That’s why the automatic braking system has been a game-changer. Much to my wife’s horror, I actually tested it when our son was just two days old. I let go on a steep incline—and the stroller stopped itself instantly. It knew I wasn’t in control and acted before I even had to think. We never worry about that scenario anymore.

Rock-My-Baby Mode: Our Quiet Time Savior

It is near impossible to be out in a restaurant without people doing double takes as they see the stroller rocking back and forth on its own, and people routinely come up to us and say they wish they had such an amazing stroller when they had little ones. It is truly a game changer that has allowed us to have great quiet meals out so we can maintain our bond while our son snoozes peacefully in the stroller. It has been a lifesaver!

This feature is pure magic. Whether we're at a restaurant, winery, or brewery, Rock-My-Baby mode lulls our son to sleep gently and quietly. No fussing. No crying. Just peaceful naps while we enjoy our meals and reconnect as a couple.

It draws attention everywhere we go—people stop and stare when they realize the stroller is rocking on its own. We constantly get compliments and questions from people who say, “Where was this when we had babies?”

White Noise That Shields Him from the World

The other wonderful feature that has helped us maintain our sanity is the white noise machine built into the stroller. It has saved us countless times. Public spaces are rarely quiet, but with a push of a button (on the stroller or in the app), the stroller drowns out everything for our son. The ability to help him tune out the outside world and nap peacefully while we get to be active together, even outside of his wake windows is priceless.

And when he’s upset, switching to on music helps soothe him.
It really just gave us so many tools in our parenting toolbox!

This Stroller Goes Everywhere With Us

From our neighborhood sidewalks to the Arizona heat and Alaskan trails in Denali National Park, Glüxkind has been our go-to travel companion. The power boost was especially helpful during our adventures, proving it’s more than just a city stroller.

Customer Service That Goes Above and Beyond

Beyond the features, the customer service has been beyond amazing! Whenever we’ve had a question or run into a minor glitch, the support has been phenomenal. It’s clear the founders genuinely care—not just about the product, but about the parents who use it. We got our stroller from their first production batch, and have seen the strollers update and add new features as the company continues to grow and fine tune everything.

The founders of this company truly care about their product, and genuinely want every parent to have an amazing experience with it.

This isn’t a company where you’re stuck talking to an AI assistant for ten minutes before being able to talk to a human. You talk to real people who actually want to listen and find the best solution for you.

Growing With Us, Every Step of the Way

Now that our son has moved from the bassinet to the seat, the stroller continues to adapt to his needs. It still turns heads every time we go out, and we know it’ll keep doing so for years to come.

We couldn’t be happier with our decision to invest in Glüxkind—it’s made parenting easier, more enjoyable, and a lot more peaceful.
