Head-to-head comparison
Joie nitro lx vs Joie pact pro
Two lightweight Joie strollers, both listed from birth to 22 kg with a lie-flat recline, and both rated to 4.5 kg in the basket by their manuals. The nitro lx costs about half as much: Joie lists A$199 against A$399.99 for the pact pro. The pact pro has the lower published weight, 6.3 kg against 7.8 kg, though Joie states the configuration for neither. The folds differ in shape: the pact pro folds to L 30 x W 40 x H 77 cm, while the nitro lx folds umbrella style to L 35 x W 30 x H 109.5 cm, narrower but much taller. The pact pro folds with one hand, stands on its own when folded and comes with a rain cover and travel bag; Joie does not state either fold feature for the nitro lx, and its manual describes folding with a folding plate and foot pedal. On 27 October 2026 Joie's site showed the nitro lx as coming soon in the colour shown, and Baby Bunting showed it available at $199.

Will it fit your car?
We have not tested either pram in a car. Compare the published folds above with your boot opening and floor; the shape of the boot matters as much as the numbers.
