Parent reviews of the Caretero Alfa
Lightweight and compact stroller. It fulfils its function as a buggy. Price corresponds to the quality.
- Pillow in the headrest
- Foldable
- Lightweight
- Durable, also suitable for a bit of terrain
- Impractical basket (when I put the little one lying down, it's almost impossible to put something in there)
- The backrest cannot be put in a full reclining position, only in a semi-sitting position
- When I want to fold the buggy, there is nowhere to put the bar
I am satisfied with the buggy, although it has its shortcomings, but otherwise it suits me.
Super fast folding. Small, practical; it had all we needed.
