These strollers are a popular choice among families due to their versatility and comfort, so it’s important to consider all aspects before making a purchase.
Advantages:
Seat Features:
The seat can be rotated (towards and away from the driver), and there are multiple recline positions (including a flat position for very small babies) and adjustable leg rests.
Comfort and Ride:
Good shock absorbers allow the baby to enjoy the ride, even on all surfaces (asphalt, dirt, grass, sand). They are very comfortable for riding, and thanks to the excellent suspension, babies do not feel the bumps in the road, unlike Cybex strollers.
Practicality:
The large storage basket under the seat is bigger than that of standard strollers, providing ample space for all necessary items, while the leather handle prevents bags from slipping.
Easy Assembly:
The seat is easy to install, and the stroller is simple to maneuver. The front wheels are removable, and there is a front wheel guide as well as brakes.
Additional Equipment:
Includes the Graco Snugessentials car seat (0-13 kg), a footmuff, a winter seat insert, and a rain cover.
Sun Protection:
The mesh section allows fresh air to enter and lets parents monitor the baby.
Adjustable Handle:
The handle can be set to two heights,, which can be beneficial for parents of different heights and it is made from materials that do not heat up in the sun.
Adaptability:
The inclination of the seat bottom part can be adjusted.
Materials and Build:
High-quality materials make maintenance easier, and the fabrics are removable and washable.
Safety System:
Secure harnesses and brakes further enhance safety.
Easy Folding:
The stroller folds and unfolds easily, fits through standard door widths, and darker colors reduce the visibility of stains, which can be easily cleaned with wet wipes.
Disadvantages:
Obstacles:
There is no small part for foot between the wheels, making it difficult to lift the stroller over curbs and uneven surfaces.
Feeling of Enclosure:
Darker strollers can feel claustrophobic for the baby because the top part of the sunshade cannot be lowered to a horizontal position but remains tilted at a 20-degree angle. In this respect, Cybex strollers are better, as they provide improved visibility for the baby.
Sun Protection:
Although it is larger than in other strollers, it is not complete (180 degrees), so it may be necessary to use a blanket on the top or turn the seat.
Additional Equipment:
Cup holders and phone holders, as well as a mosquito net, are sold separately.
Space:
When folded, they take up more space in the trunk. The weight of 13.2 kg can make transport challenging.
Maintenance:
Maintenance is more difficult for strollers made from lighter materials.
Additional Information:
Dimensions of unfolded stroller: 106x62x76 cm; dimensions of folded stroller: 111x62x40 cm; suitable for children up to 15 kg.
