Micralite FastFold
The Micralite FastFold is one of the most iconic strollers of the brand (and one of the most iconic pushchairs overall). Its design is modern, sturdy (almost technical), and rather eye-catching - and concentrates on driveability and steering comfort. The FastFold's rear tires are large in size, all-terrain, puncture-proof, air-filled, and Kevlar-lined - meaning they are extra sturdy even for terrain, sand, or gravel conditions. The front wheels, smaller in size and covered in rubber and feature a dual suspension system to absorb shocks from the ground. An adjustable - rotating handlebar is also a part of the chassis. The stroller doesn't fold very small - on the other hand, for such a versatile frame, the whole thing weighs only 7.5 kg.
The FastFold sports its unique hammock seat, which absorbs more bumps as well as features a mesh base (covered with a seat liner for colder days). The seat is dual-position, meaning it can be tilted only once to help your little one nap - it does feature a rather deep recline, however. It is not newborn-friendly because of its ergonomic L-shape, nor is the pushchair compatible with a newborn bassinet attachment. Even if you can't put a carrycot on, car seat adapters for major car seat brands are available to purchase separately, making the Fastfold usable right from birth. The FastFold seat's bamboo-based-material canopy is equipped with 20k water resistance and UPF 50. Fabrics color packs are also available to buy and renew your stroller's look - along with other accessories like a sun shade or a footmuff.
