Gesslein F4 Air+
The Gesslein F4 Air+ is a superior model of the simpler model Gesslein S4 Air+. The F4 model featuring the reversible seat unit can be transformed into the S4 buggy by purchasing the fabric set of the S4’s non-reversible seat unit. The F4 Air+ is based on the older F4 model but comes with an improved type of wheels made of hardened rubber. Thanks to the inbuilt air chambers, the tire is lighter, easily maneuvrable and sticks to the surface better. At the same time, it is quite sturdy, offering the advantages of an air-filled tire.
The F4 Air+ is a robust stroller featuring a light anodized aluminum chassis. Four wheels with suspension can handle even a rougher terrain. The spacious reversible seat with the extra large ventilated hood can be fully reclined. It is possible to increase the total length of the seat by extending the leg rest. You can create a travel system suitable from birth by purchasing either one of two carrycots inserted in the seat (soft C1 transformable into a footmuff, or hard C2) or the classic hard carrycot C3. C3 can be added to the chassis in two different heights. There is also an option to attach the car seat to the chassis using adapters.
The F4+s available in tens of various colors. The stroller comes with the Loop seat liner with Cell Pur foam and head support. You can also purchase other optional liners as well as a changing bag that is easily customizable by swapping the front panel. If you choose your F4 Air+ with the handbrake or with a handlebar covered in leatherette, you will have to pay extra. Other accessories like a footmuff, a parasol or a summer kit are also available.
