Kinderkraft Grande

The ultra-cheap, ultra-spacious toddler pushchair
.eli
see 20 parent reviews

The Kinderkraft Grande is a relatively lightweight stroller with a practical, one-hand fold. Thanks to its compactness after folding, the Grande is an excellent companion for the city as well as for trips. When out shopping, you will appreciate the extra-large shopping basket. The non-reversible seat can be reclined fully. Thanks to the width and length of the adjustable leg rest, the Grande can easily accommodate even an older child. The robust hood with an additional sun visor can be extended, which comes in handy during summer days.

Great option if on a budget.

  • spacious seat
  • big hood with an extension
  • bump bar coated in eco-leather
  • quick and easy fold
  • fits into even a small trunk
  • extra strap between baby legs - child won't slide out by any chance, while not using actual belts and I won't loose bumper bar if I needed to take it off ;)
  • foot cover fits good as well in lying positon
  • colour options - I would personally like to have at least *navy* as 3rd option (gray melange and black are fine too)

I bought it as a gift for my baby cousin, but I'm deffinetly gonna buy it again for myself when the time comes. The grandparents and me love everything about this stroller. My parents found some little things, but that would get this stroller into a different price category, that said I'm not including here. We wouldnt find a better stroller for this price here in Slovakia.

  • probably the one-hand fold
  • bad basket access
  • squeaky
  • rattles incredibly
  • not upright sitting position
  • hard to steer, I can't manage to drive with one hand

A really bad choice. I bought this after a Bugaboo and I did expect much less, compared to the BGB... I thought I will get used to a lower standard. But no. So many downsides that I ended up selling it after 3 months for almost nothing. I did think, what would I want for that price, but honestly, now I wouldn't want this pram even for free.

  • Price
  • Longevity
  • Tank-like performance
  • Good looking

I had it and for that price, it lasted really well. Really a small tank. And also good looking, which, at this price point is not really seen often. I can heartily recommend it.

  • It looks good
  • Large canopy
  • Window in canopy to see baby
  • Large basket
  • Leg and rain cover included
  • Backrest and seat is hard
  • Backrest doesn’t straighten up so stays at an angle
  • Basket is not easily accessible
  • Suspension is hard
  • Can’t control with one hand
  • Doesn’t fold flat

If I could do it all again I wouldn’t purchase this stroller. After using it for 3 months I’ve come to the conclusion there are more negative points than positive. Yes, it does look good, it’s spacious for the baby, it has a large basket and it comes with a leg and rain cover.

All good points that you want when buying a stroller but on the down side the back rest doesn’t come right up so baby is at an awkward angle which means he slides down the seat and is only stopped by the belt which then pushes constantly on his crotch. He also is looking down his nose if he wants to see straight ahead, and on top of that, the backrest and seat are as hard as a piece of wood with no padding. This is the biggest fault for me.

The steering and suspension are hard so it’s not very easy to control with one hand. The basket isn’t easily accessible either.

A 2.5yo fits in there even with a footmuff

  • Veľký

We got it for a 2.5yo for naps, and he fits in there even with a footmuff.

I would say it's fine

4
  • Price
  • Low weight
  • Roomy basket
  • The strap between the child's legs cannot be undone
  • It takes quite some space even after folding

For an undemanding mom and a low price, I would say it's fine.

  • Canopy extension
  • Accessories
  • Driveability
  • The bumper bar has to be put in between the chassis and the side fabric
  • The leg rest position after folding
  • The sitting position is not upright

The push is not very comfortable with this pushchair. It is almost impossible for me to push it with one hand when I am holding my other kid (or cell phone) in the other. Also, I mind the leg rest when folding the Grande - it goes either upwards, meaning the fold is longer, or downwards, but not completely, so it protrudes. After a month, the zipper on the rear pocket broke, I had to remove it completely. And I don't like the PU leather cover on the handlebar, because I can feel the zipper.

This was supposed to be a great pushchair with everything I needed. But its driveability makes it all wrong.

An excellent pushchair for, you could say, a very low price. It drives beautifully, even though it's not much for off-road. The under-seat basket is large enough (5-7 kg potato pack is no problem 🙂). The rain cover fits well - I would, however, appreciate more vents in it.

It did what I expected it to

4
  • Lightweight
  • Compact
  • Easy to maintain
  • Extendable hood
  • Leg rest adjustment
  • Spacious basket
  • A good-looking model catching my eye very quickly
  • Foam wheels catching small stones (which you won't be able to remove)
  • No suspension
  • Fixed handlebar - no adjustment possible
  • Velcros to attach the leg cover make its attachment difficult for me - I can't seem to put it on well

I bought it for occasional use with my DD (for the summer and autumn) - and it did what I expected it to. However, since I had a different stroller before, where the suspension was very soft, I missed some suspension like that here a lot (and next time, I will look at this feature much more closely when choosing a stroller). Other than that, a very good stroller for a great price 👍

Your questions about the Kinderkraft Grande

1)

Is this suitable for carrying on plane?

Hi, Shannon,

If you mean it fititng the carry-on / cabin luggage requirements, then no, it's too big for that. You will need to check it in, or find out whether your airline of choice has special policies regarding baby's luggage to use for this.

2)

Does it fit the dimensions to take on an aeroplane?

Hey, Kerry,

No, you will not be able to take this on board as a piece of a carry-on luggage, it is too large after folding to do that.

.eli - 08 Mar 2023
3)

How high is the stroller with the handle height? I need at least 105cm as I am tall

Hey, Sarah,

The highest, and only handle setting is at 100 cm, so it will be low for you, unfortunately. You can find this info lower, in the Specs, under 'Handlebar'.
