The BabyActive Shell Eko is affordable and one of the most popular BabyActive strollers. Thanks to the rounded, robust chassis with a dual rear suspension, and air-filled wheels, the Eko can handle even a terrain that is more demanding. You can choose either a silver or a white chassis to match with optional white or dark tire spokes. The name of the stroller suggests its leatherette elements on the upholstery as well as leatherette details.

The shape of the unique hood reminds of a shell, hence the name Shell (Eko). The double pop-out sun visor comes with a unique see-through front panel. The top part of the carrycot can be removed so that you reveal the lighter, well-ventilated summer version. The spectacular, removable curtains are included with the hood. The hood of the seat unit is also ventilated, and robust enough to protect against the sharp sun. The carrycot and the seat unit are both reversible. The seat unit offers a full recline. The stroller comes with a rain cover, a seat liner, and a changing bag in the shape of a shell included. The Shell Eko is available as a 2in1 stroller system, a 3in1 stroller system with a car seat and adapters, or as a 4in1 stroller system with an Isofix base. The stroller was also released in a golden-toned Gold Edition.

The cushioned frame is ill-thought-out

1.0

erikasou - 08 May 2024

It's pretty to look at

Suspension broke
The colour has faded
Removable part on the seat is getting yellow

The cushioned frame is ill-thought-out.

Terrible quality of wheels

Andra - 27 Dec 2022

Terrible quality of wheels on such an expensive stroller.

I would change the chassis completely

star1 - 30 Jun 2022

Large bassinet and sports - as well as a bag
The colours are beautiful and the material too

Chassis - quick to get loose, difficult to control (at least for me)

The stroller as such looks very nice. What I would change completely is the chassis.

Great for winter

bobby - 04 Nov 2019

Large, spacious carrycot
Reversible seat unit
Spacious seat
Large wheels with air-filled tires

Heavy
Takes up a lot of car boot space

A spacious pram with large air-filled wheels and long hood. Great for winter.
