parents say thx^^

A great pram

4
  • Gel wheels
  • Large carry cot
  • Closable basket
  • One brake in the middle
  • Price
  • Shade
  • Since I got the mint color, it's too light and gets dirty right away.

This is a great pram.

Big - but it went over everything

3

It served us well. Carrycot was great, large. Car seat was ok and the seat unit was ok too - only the 3 in 1 systems are big and this stroller was big - but it went over everything 😉

Your questions about the Raf-Pol Alu Way

1)

What is the price for these strollers?

Hello there, the price will depend on where do you live - each country and shop can have it priced differently. On the other hand, it is possible that you won't be able to get it in your country, since it may nov be available. Anyway, for reference, the price usually goes around 300 EUR for a 2in1 system with seat and carrycot, respectively, around 400 USD. You can find one on eBay as well - https://www.ebay.com/itm/Baby-Pram-Newborn-3in1-Travel-System-Car-Seat-Buggy-Stroller-Pushchair-Carrycot/233468507798?hash=item365bceb696:m:m5_6BL4Yh6i6bz8XAaEiPlg
