Babyzen Zen
The Babyzen Zen is a designer three-wheeler with high weight capacity. Thanks to the rubber wheels, the Soft Drive System and soft suspension, the lightweight chassis of the Zen can handle even terrain that is more demanding. Although Zen’s wheels don’t come with an option for locking, the stroller provides smooth enough ride, so there is not a real need for it. Using just one hand, you can adjust the height of the handlebar as well as fold the stroller. When folding, the front axle will fold inwards, which makes the Zen more compact. The chassis is featuring additional integrated small wheels so that you can pull the folded Zen behind you in any direction. For better visibility in challenging light conditions, there are LED lights in the front part of the chassis with two possible settings including flashing.
By unzipping, the fixed seat can only be partially reclined. Therefore, it is suitable for children that can already sit independently. For using the Zen from birth, there are the adapters for a car seat as well as a carrycot available. A combination of unzipping and tilting gives the unique Yoga carrycot a possibility of being positioned into a semi-recline, which will be appreciated by children who enjoy a parent-facing ride but don’t just want to lie flat. The carrycot is also featuring an integrated stand which makes it usable as a normal or a feeding chair. For better storage and transport, the carrycot can also be folded in half. Thanks to the wide range of colors of the optional seat inserts and the apron of the carrycot, you can personalize your Zen easily. The Zen and the Yoga carrycot were also released in a special edition Bloom in bright CMYK colors and a Monochrome version in black and silver.
