I'm a big Stokke fan and we have both the Tripp Trapp and the Xplory. The new Xplory seat is a nice compliment to our 3 year old stroller. Apart from the seat and new textiles, nothing else major has changed. The new seat is a bit more round and comes with major improvements like the easy to adjust foot rest. If you've owned an Xplory before I think you would agree that this was always cumbersome. Other nice improvements are the large canopy and ventilation area. One thing to note about the red seat it that it appeared more like orange-red when it came in compared to the old textile; otherwise, we're very happy about the new seat. It's almost like getting a new stroller!
