BabyActive Ballerina Wiklina (Wicker)

see 3 parent reviews

The BabyActive Ballerina Wiklina is a classical 2in1 stroller system featuring a retro, X-shaped, rocking chassis with large, fixed, air-filled wheels. This stroller is based on the original Ballerina Heritage, but the version of the carrycot is different, with either dark or pale wicker-work on the outside in the Wiklina edition.

You can also choose a white or chrome chassis, and black, white, or black&white versions of the wheels. A set of smaller, 30cm wheels is available separately too.

It is possible to incline the mattress of the spacious carrycot for an older baby. The seat unit also features a full recline function. The stroller comes with a changing bag, aprons, and a rain cover included.

parents say thx^^
  • Large bassinet
  • Cushioned
  • Beautiful to look at
  • Reduction for car seat
  • Removable covers (machine washable)
  • Comfortable and large seat
  • Bulkier

A large bassinet. I could fit my little one and 8 months old in a footmuff - a big plus for me. The only minus is that it's pretty big, bulky when traveling. That's not a problem in a bigger car, and the car seat reducer adaptors were enough for quick moving for the time being. And the suspension inflatable wheels are, as my husband says, pure "offroad", especially for walking even on a lesser quality road.

  • bulky

Very sturdy. Have taken it on countless walks in the forest. Great suspension. The joints can get squeaky but some oil solves it. Mine is over 10 years old and still going strong.

  • beautiful (everybody turns to watch us on the street)
  • bulky
  • heavy
  • falls apart slowly (e.g., the wheels) & the joints squeak

Gorgeous, but it seems to be falling apart over time.

Your questions about the BabyActive Ballerina Wiklina (Wicker)

1)

Hi,

I have the Ballerina navy and white. Where do I purchase new wheels? The little black plastic knobs are breaking off mine.

Hi, Gina,

Well, just so, nowhere. YOu have to contact the seller of your pram (or any that supplies this Baby Active model) and ask them. They should order the wheel(s) as a spare part (you might be having to pay some fee).

Another way is to contact the manufacturer directly at babyactive@babyactive.pl They might (but might not) answer - I can't promise you anything since this is up to them. Often, the cheaper pram manufacturers don't provide spare parts...

I wish you good luck!
