We're in The Guardian! :) :) :)
Hi everybody,
We were interviewed for a piece in the Guardian exploring the place of unbiased product reviews on the Internet. If you're interested, check it out here: www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2021/jul/31/oslo-…
Thanks so much for being with us all these years, and helping us grow to this point. We're very grateful! :)

Hi everybody,
Just wanted to hop on here and say that we really appreciate all of you who enjoy watching our channel. We receive a lot of suggestions, daily, on which models to cover, and I wanted to assure you that even if we don't always respond, that we are taking your suggestions to heart. It's not possible for us to get ahold of all the models that have been suggested, here in Norway (especially with the ongoing pandemic), but, thanks to growth on our Patreon page, we have begun to use shipping solutions from abroad, which is helping a bit. Over the next few months, the models we're currently aiming towards, are the Nuna Triv and Demi Grow, the Silvercross Wave, the Bumbleride Indie and Era, and a couple of BOB models. We're also hoping to do an updated review of the Emmaljunga NXT90, and we're crossing our fingers to find a way to get ahold of the Bugaboo Lynx.
Please feel free to list any other suggestions you might have below, and if we receive enough requests, we'll happily look into how hard they are to get ahold of.
We wish all of you the best of health and happiness in 2021.
:) Wade, The Stroller Workshop

Hi Everybody,
CYBEX PRIAM! Due to a number of viewer requests, we're going to be disassembling a Cybex Priam next week, in order to show how it's mechanisms work on the inside, as well as brainstorm potential DIY fixes. If you have any specific problems / areas of difficulty that you'd like us to cover, please feel free to comment on this post, and we'll be sure to include those areas in our videos.
Thanks:)

Hi Everybody,
We have a viewer with a newborn baby who has a pretty serious case of infant reflux disease. Her original questions regarded finding a stroller with multiple recline positions (and definitely a fully upright position), as well as finding a solution for sleeping (currently the baby must be kept in a relatively upright position, and sleeps in a baby-carrier on her mother's chest, which is incredibly taxing over time). Please post, if any of you have any experience with infant reflux problems, and have any tips to share. It would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks :)

Hi everybody,
Just wanted to give a little update, and assure you that even though we haven't posted any new videos in a couple of weeks, that we've been working quite a lot behind the scenes to put out some cool content over the next month or so.
First off, we'll be receiving a Bugaboo Donkey 3 in the next few days, and will be putting up a review, of course, as well as a number of instructional videos within the coming week.
As far as Patreon-content goes, we've been doing a lot of research into warranty rights and consumer-protections laws as they apply to strollers (focused mainly on the U.S., where the rules can differ quite a lot from state to state, as well as the E.U.), and plan to publish an article on how some of this works, as well as giving advice on how to get the most from distributors and manufacturers. The release-date isn't finalized yet, but it will be in October, in any case.
Even more exciting for many, probably, is that we've finally secured a means of ordering Nuna products from abroad, and are looking to start reviewing their products in max 4-6 weeks. This was supposed to happen in the spring, but then Corona happened, leaving us stranded with everyone else in the Upside Down. It's going to cost the farm, but given how long we've been receiving requests to cover their line, we feel we definitely owe it to you. We're thinking about starting with the Mixx Next, and need to lock our decision in within a week or so, so please feel free to leave comments if you feel a different model is more relevant (the Demi Grow will probably be next).
On a sadder note, we've finally received confirmation that the Stokke Trailz has been officially discontinued. No word yet on whether they are planning on following it up with another heavyweight-type model (if they do, it would likely mean a tandem model, as this seems to be the direction of the market). For any of you still interested in getting the Trailz, Stokke will still back their guarantee (which means that they'll still have spare-parts available for at least 5+ years), though you might want to move quickly if you're looking to get a new model in specific colors.
And lastly, the most exciting news (for us at least): we are finally closing in on 10,000 subscribers! It took us 7 years, but it's finally almost cake-time!
Thanks so much to all of you for your support. As always, we really, truly appreciate it.
Sincerely,
Wade, The Stroller Workshop

Hi everybody,
There's been a lot of talk lately about 'Greenwashing,' which is the process by which businesses promote their products as 'sustainable', 'eco-friendly' and so on, while in actual fact, their manufacturing processes and business models clearly show this to be nothing more than a marketing ploy. As soon as I heard about this concept (and even that several major companies have been penalized for it), I realized that this practice really defines the approach of virtually every major manufacturer in the stroller industry. If you'd be interested in reading more about this, please check out our article: 'Rampant Greenwashing in the Stroller Industry,' here: www.patreon.com/posts/rampant-in-38755846

Welcome to our channel. Since opening our workshop in 2011, we've had the opportunity to work both with manufacturers and retailers, as well as thousands of private consumers, and our goal here is to share what we've learned. In addition to making repair-guides, we try to provide the public with impartial, informative reviews of new strollers – aimed mainly at analyzing their mechanical and functional attributes, as well as how they perform under real-world conditions.
If you have any questions, please contact us via Patreon where we are better able to give your questions a personalized, in-depth, researched response (this includes business inquirees). Our Patreon page is here: www.patreon.com/thestrollerworkshop
