FAQS for the Austlen Entourage Stroller
Q: Can the main seat of the Austlen Entourage reverse?
A: No. The main seat is in the fixed forward-facing position
Q: Can the second seat of the Austlen Entourage turn to forward-face?
A: It cannot. The second seat is in the fixed rear-facing position.
Q:Can I put a newborn in the main seat of the Austlen Entourage?
A: You can! There is a built-in cocoon that velcros on to create a bassinet-like seat. The main seat also reclines to a near-flat position, creating a newborn compatible seat.
Q:Can I put a newborn in the second seat of the Austlen Entourage?
A: You cannot. The seat does not recline deep enough, nor is there enough of a footrest to properly support a newborn. If you would like a solution for a newborn, aside from using the main seat, you can use a car seat adapter in the position closest to you.
Q: Can I use the Austlen Entourage with two infant car seats?
A: You can! You can use a car seat adapter in the front position as well as the back position to create a proper double stroller for two infants.
Q: Can my Austlen Entourage fold with two seats attached?
A: It can! And it folds pretty compact as well.
Q: Will the standing board affect my stride?
A: It won’t! The amazing part of the Austlen Entourage Platform Rider is that it completely is out of the parent’s way. The child also stands between the two handlebars with plenty of room for him/her.
Q: Does the Austlen Entourage stand on its own when folded?
A: It does! It is also super easy to wheel around. The stroller is a bit heavy so it’s great that it’s simple to move around. The fold is very compact and not awkward at all.
Q: I will be traveling with my Austlen Entourage – will there be a travel bag?
A: The Entourage Travel Bag will be released soon. In the meantime, the Stokke PramPack and Bugaboo Donkey Transport Bag will both work.

Can you give the seat dimensions for the main and rumble seats on the Austlen stroller? Thanks!
Erika
Specifically looking for width, seat-back height, and the distance from the bottom of the seat to the top of the canopy. Thanks, again!
Ellena
We have some info for you, Erika. The Austlen man stroller seat measures 26″ from the seat to canopy (18″ backrest height). The stroller is 24.5″ wide.
Erika McCauley
Thank you, Ellena! That’s a great canopy height! Is that for both seats? Or are the rumble seat dimensions different?
Tina Smith
Which car seats will be compatible with this and will the adapters be included?
Ellena
Hi Tina – there are adapters for Maxi Cosi, Nuna and Cybex, and adapters for all Chicco infant seats as well (Chicco adapter release date is unknown as of yet). They are offered as a separate accessory.
Erika McCauley
Hi, Ellena! When you get a chance can you measure the canopy height on the rumble seat? I have two children with special needs, so they will use the stroller longer than a typical child. I need to make sure they will fit in the rumble seat as well as the main seat. Thanks!
Tzipporah
Is it possible to put on the top car seat and the second seat simultaneously?
Ellena
Sure!
Ellena
The second seat has a seat back of 18.5″ and it measures 20.5″ from the back of the seat to the top of the canopy.

Leila
Hi there! My only question is : are the wheels removable? Specifically the front wheels. Thanks!
Erika McCauley
Thank you! You’re awesome!
Ellena
Hi Leila – they sure are! All four wheels on the Austlen Entourage are removable.
Loz
Can you buy this stroller in the uk
Ellena
We recommend contacting Austlen directly to inquire.
Dahiana
Hello,
I am wondering which retailers are going to be selling the stroller when it comes out?
Ellena
Hi Dahiana – the stroller is actually available to pre-order right now from PishPosh – with a tentative ship date of early 2016. We are one of the exclusive retailers to Austlen
heydi
Will this be available in Canada right away?
Thanks.
Ellena
Hi Heydi – you would need to reach out to Austlen to find out if they will be distributing their Entourage in Canada.
Danielle
What is the benefit of the optional seat liner? What does the stroller look like without it? And what is the delivery date for a pre-order?
Ellena
Hi Danielle – the Austlen stroller is perfectly fine without the liner. The liners are for extra comfort and style. The ETA for the Austlen is mid 2016.
Tanya
How maneuverable is it in extended mode? Can you bump it over a curb, can it handle stairs?
NK
Hi! Is pre-order considered as a special order? What if we order it now and once it is delivered we want to return?
Ellena
A preorder is a regular order – if you aren’t satisfied with the Austlen, you have 30 to return it, unused and in the original packaging from the ship date. (Though we’re sure you’ll be thrilled:)
Shirley
Can the second seatbelt faced forward too or only looking back?
Ian
How long does it take for the stroller to get shipped to my house?
Ellena
Hi Ian – the Austlen stroller will be shipping in mid 2016 – exact release date is not confirmed. Once it does ship, it will take 1-5 days depending on what state you are in.
Julie
I have 4 yo twins and a 17 month old. We have a double stroller that is very difficult to steer, especially with the heavier child in front. Is this stroller better?
Melanie
Does this ship to Canada? I am having my second child in May and wanting it for then. Where is it made?
Ellena
Hi Melanie, The Entourage is made in Asia. The stroller is only expected to be shipping June/July of this year. In addition, we are strictly prohibited from shipping to locations outside of the usa.
Jennifer
I only see car seat adapters for Chicco available to order. Do the other compatible brands not need adapters, or are they just not available to order yet?
Ellena
Hi Jennifer – for the Austlen, there are both Chicco and Maxi Cosi/Nuna/Cybex car seat adapters. You can see them all here http://www.pishposhbaby.com/austlen.html
Jewel
Do both seats face the front & rear?
Can you have on the second seat with the standing board or only the sit & stand seat with the standing board?
Thanks!
Shoshi b
Can it fold with the jumps eat attached? Do you have it on display in you store?
Ellena
It can fold with the seats and we will only have it on display once it is released.
Ellena
Hi Jewel – the front seat is fixed and not reversible. The second seat can only parent-face
Esmeralda Cruz
I am due June 30. Is there a release date already ? Also, I currently have a bugaboo chameleon 3, how is this compared to how smooth that bugaboo is
Ellena
Hi Esmeralda, The Austlen Entourage has a really easy push but it does not compare to that of a Bugaboo single stroller
NoNiE Umhamad
Hi If I pre order the stroller when should I expect to recieve it?
Ellena
Hi Nonie – the tentative release date from Austlen is Early Fall!
Ashley Moffat
Hello. I thought the second seat was only parent-facing? Does it now also face forward? Thank you!
Ellena
Hi Ashley, The front seat (main seat) can only face forward. The second seat (that is positioned closer to the parents) is parent-facing.
Ashley Moffat
Okay, thank you. I just saw your comment above from May 11th that said the second seat can face in either direction.
ELLENA

Habchy
Hi, can we check the Austen 2 seats at the plane gate ?
Ellena
Hi Ashley – you are correct – I did answer that question incorrectly and I adjusted my previous response
Ellena
Hi Habchy – Because the Austlen has not been released yet we do not have the answer for you on this…
SA
hello is this stroller available in Canada or is it Canada approved for safety??
Thank you, I really want this stroller
I am due Dec 4th and trying to find a stroller that would work for my newborn my 5 year old
Ellena
You will need to reach out to Austlen directly to inquire about distribution in Canada
Casey
Our car seats are Britax. It doesn’t look like there is a Britax car seat adapter available. Any idea if one will become available? Or is there any other option to get a Britax seat to work with the Entourage. I will order the Entourage right now if this is possible! Thanks!
Ellena
Hi Casey – as of yet, there is no Britax adapter available yet for the Entourage stroller.
Jenna
Hello – Can you gate check this stroller with the seat and jump seat on it? Thank you!
Ellena
Hi Jenna – you will need to check that with your airline, but you should be able to
