- modern design
- easy to maneuver, getting up on the curb
- suspension
- compact (folding together with the seat)
- fabrics
- extendable hood
- weight limit of 20 kg
- for me, impractical locking/unlocking of a folded stroller
- the driving direction cannot be changed with the baby in the stroller
- the seatbelt's fabric gets stuck in the buckle
- canopy is made from a thin material - it does not protect from the cold
This stroller was love at first sight, but after unpacking the box, there came a bit of disappointment...
Firstly, I was surprised that it had not raised sides (the seat looks like a chair thus is very open). It seemed very uncomfortable. The second unpleasant surprise was that the stroller has a will in the joint (the central point in which it's folding) - the handle is loose and moves - together with the seat. I would understand this can happen if the stroller was used, but I didn't really expect this with a new stroller (which costs as much as an old used car) 😞
It was in our bedroom for a month, and I kept thinking whether to start using it or send it back to the shop. In the end, I decided to keep it, and I don't regret it. I fell in love with it again 🙂 It's effortless to drive. Maneuverability-wise, it handles well, plus the getting on and off the curb is perfect. It has a great suspension, and wheels are big enough. The folding needs some practice, though. The first times were quite hard, but then we got used to it and it was okay. However, you need to use both hands, so it cannot be done while holding the baby. The advantage is the fact that the chassis can be folded together with the seat unit in both directions, and when folded, the stroller size is minimal for this type.
As already mentioned, the seat doesn't have raised sides. However, I feel that my daughter was happy as she had a better view. The direction of the seat cannot be changed while the baby is inside, which I missed a bit as I was used to that with other strollers. The seat looks narrow. However, we were not missing a wider seat- no problem even during the winter with the footmuff.
The belts' padding is really sophisticated and comfortable, but the fabric from the padding between the legs regularly gets in the way. The covers are made of some strange material that literally 'absorbs' dirt. I never had to wash it, and it survived everything 😃 The canopy can be extended twice - absolutely no need for sun visors, umbrellas, etc., perfectly protecting the child from the sun. However, it is made from a very thin material, so it does not protect against the cold and wind. I think the basket is just the right size - it is not huge, but it is deep enough to fit enough stuff.
The manufacturer gives a load capacity of 20 kg, but I doubt it would fit a real 20 kg baby. A couple of times, my older daughter (3 years - 16kg) was sitting in there, and she looked too big fot it - so it will eventually get outgrown. Her head was touching the canopy, and her legs were hanging. The stroller is really sophisticated, modern, practical, and functional - but I don't think it has anything that special to deserve such a high price - you just for a famous brand (as with the majority of expensive strollers 😉).
