Kinderkraft Mini Dot
The Kinderkraft Mini Dot is an ultra-lightweight, ultra-compact stroller - perfect for travels thanks to its folded dimensions of 21,25” x 9,8” x 9” (54 x 25 x 23 cm). You can leave the bumper bar attached while folding the stroller, but the height of the folded package then increases to 63 cm. Thanks to such a compact, 3D fold and a low weight, you can take the Mini Dot on the board of a plane as well as super-easily fit it into a car boot or even underneath the seat in the car. Once folded, the bumper bar folds in the form of a carry handle so that you can use it to carry the Mini Dot.
Thanks to the mild suspension located in the front of the aluminum chassis, the Mini Dot can handle uneven urban paths a little better. Four smaller, dual wheels ensure a stable ride. The super-fast pocket folding system, where the handlebar and the chassis fold in half too, results in the most compact fold possible. The backrest of the non-reversible seat can be reclined flat. Despite the missing leg rest, the sitting surface is deeper to make sure the Mini Dot offers a comfortable ride for the little one - even a nap on the go is possible. The stroller comes with a rain cover included.

Parent reviews of the Kinderkraft Mini Dot
- price
- seat size + full recline
- low-positioned handlebar - better for short to average mums
- it only fits the airplane carry-on requirements without a bumper bar
- less padding
- short canopy
It is not the most sturdy, but that's giver it's super-foldable chassis. Very compact, perfect for traveling. If you're not too demanding and looking for a very affordable holiday buggy, this is a very nice option.
For such price, I am happy with it.
