Chicco Activ3 Air
The Chicco Activ3 Air is an evolution of the Activ3 featuring new - 3D AIRMESH technology of breathable, ventilated fabrics. This all-terrain three-wheeler is also suitable for jogging. The tires are filled with foam, which makes them similar to air-filled ones, but without the risk of a puncture. The rear suspension is fully adjustable. The handlebar features a soft organizer with bottle holders, a central brake and a lever mechanism to lock the front wheel, which makes everything you may need when pushing the stroller extremely accessible. What is more, you only need one hand to fold the Activ3 Air. For a more compact fold, you can fold the front forward wheel forward or remove it altogether.
The softly padded, front-facing seat offers enough space even for older children. The backrest can be reclined quite deep - almost completely flat. The hood provides good protection against wind, rain, and UV rays too. The double-sided cover will close one of the two viewing windows so that you can choose which one is better for you to use at the given moment. A car seat or the spacious, reclinable carrycot usable also in the car is available for your newborn, creating a travel system. You don’t need any adapters for attaching the carrycot or the car seat to the chassis. The Activ3 Air is usually available as a 3in1 stroller system with the carrycot and the car seat plus base, but you can find an offer for a stroller only.
