169 owner reviews, fewer than most models here
The overall score is owner satisfaction weighted by how many reviews back it, so a high rating from few reviews counts for less. The bars below show where this model stands against the other baby gear and nursery essentials we track in this category on price, popularity and size. Context, not marks against it, and our read of the data, not a lab test.
Overview
Stokke occupies the premium end of the baby gear market, and the 653600 arrives at $399.99. The headline specification here is the 6.59-kilogram frame weight: at roughly 14.5 pounds, it is dramatically lighter than most standard strollers and competitive with dedicated lightweight strollers that sacrifice features for portability. For parents who frequently fold and carry their stroller in tight city spaces, on transit, or through airports, this weight advantage is meaningful.
The 22-kilogram (approximately 49 pound) weight capacity is solid, and the polyester fabric is practical for cleaning in daily use. The standard stroller type means it functions as a straightforward push stroller rather than a modular or wagon format. The stroller is not listed as car-seat compatible.
At 4.3 stars from 169 reviews, Stokke buyers are generally satisfied but the rating is noticeably below the 4.6 to 4.7 range that some less expensive strollers in this batch achieve. At nearly $400 the bar for buyer satisfaction is higher, and some owners may find the trade-offs relative to cost worth examining in the detail reviews. Around 50 units sold last month is modest for a listing at this price tier.
Pros
- Extremely lightweight frame at 6.59 kg, suited to urban and travel use
- Stokke's established brand reputation for thoughtful design
- 22 kg weight capacity handles most children through toddlerhood
- Polyester fabric is practical and wipeable for day-to-day messes
Cons
- 4.3-star rating is lower than most competitors, premium or otherwise, in this batch
- $399.99 is a significant premium over strollers with comparable or higher specs
- Not car-seat compatible
- Only 50 units sold last month suggests limited ongoing demand at this price

Performance notes
Lightweight strollers at this weight class shine most in urban environments where frequent carrying is necessary: stairs, escalators, transit turnstiles, and overhead compartments on trains. The Stokke brand's standard strollers are typically designed with above-average seat ergonomics and canopy coverage. On rough terrain or for jogging, this style of stroller is not the appropriate choice.
What buyers say
The 4.3-star average from 169 reviews is honest feedback to consider: it is positive overall but does not reflect the near-universal enthusiasm that some competing strollers earn. At $399.99, buyers with critical feedback carry more weight than at budget price points. Reading the lower-rated reviews carefully will reveal whether any common recurring issues exist that could affect the purchase decision.

Frequently asked questions
Is the Stokke 653600 stroller suitable for newborns?
The listed age range is babies, and standard strollers from Stokke in this lineup typically require the seat to be in a reclined position for newborns or used with a compatible Stokke carrycot accessory. Confirming newborn compatibility with the specific seat included is recommended.
How does the Stokke 653600 compare in weight to typical strollers?
At 6.59 kilograms, it is significantly lighter than most standard strollers, which commonly weigh between 10 and 15 kilograms. This makes it one of the lighter full-featured options in its category.
