Inglesina Now
.eli
The Inglesina Now, a 2022 release of an autofolding buggy, is actually a model similar to Inglesina Maior. Functionally and shape-wise similar, the Now features the new on-touch fold activated with one movement (similar to, e.g., the Chicco Goody.
This reasonably compact-folding, nimble urban stroller features smaller rubber wheels and a fully reclining seat (the seat is not upright nor completely 180 degrees lying flat; however, it is reclining enough for even small babies that don't sit by themselves just yet). Apart from being small in size and therefore foldable and agile, the Now offers a low weight of 7.2 kg and a tall enough seat back (48 cm). Just like the Maior, the now boasts an extendable canopy with as well as a large sun visor and all-wheel suspension. You'll appreciate the Maior when needing a second - lightweight & compact stroller for urban walks with your toddler or when traveling. It is, however, not cabin sized after folding.

I bought this stroller as a second stroller to keep in the car boot, to use in quick urban errands with my 10 month old.
I am generally happy with it.
It's very quick and easy to fold (it automatically folds itself) and the bumper bar acts like a handle so it's very easy to lift and place in the boot. You don't need to bend to perform this operation ;) it is 7,2 kg (light!)
Most ultracompacts with automatic fold have a very slanted seat. It's not the case here. Not completely upright but decent. The seat is nicely padded and 48cm tall.
The buckle. It has a 5 point harness, and each strap is fastened independently. While this might be practical for those preferring a 3 point harness, I would have liked joint straps (less clicks).
The canopy is large and spf50. The basket is decently sized.
The wheels do rattle a bit on uneven surfaces (compared to my full size main stroller). I suppose you cannot ask that they don't if they're small wheels.
The price tag is an affordable €240.
I wish it had an even taller seat back and I feel the fold could have been made even more compact than it is.
I didn't bother with cabin sized fold since I learned Ryanair won't even take a Bugaboo Butterfly onboard.
No accessories are included, so any parents needing a rain cover, need to factor that into the total.
All in all, a few compromises but many boxes ticked with a relatively small budget.
If it lasts, it will prove value for money.
Thanks Eli for your amazing work here on Strollberry!
