Recaro Easylife
The Recaro Easylife is an ultra-lightweight, ultra-compact stroller, which can be folded one-handedly. As it is small when folded and easy to store, the Easylife is a good alternative to an umbrella stroller, suitable for traveling. The double wheels are equipped with a suspension system to provide a smooth ride through the town. The simple brake is activated by pushing one side and deactivated by pushing the other side.
The non-reversible seat features mesh panels for better air circulation on hot summer days. The backrest is adjustable, but only offers a semi-recline. The Easylife doesn’t have a lie-flat option. The rounded leg rest is quite deep and fixed. Using adapters, the car seat can also be attached to the chassis so that you can use the stroller from birth. Accessories such as a bumper bar, a rain cover and, a travel bag must all be purchased separately.

Parent reviews of the Recaro Easylife
Your questions about the Recaro Easylife
Can I take inside the plane, this stroller?
Hey, Laura,
With the dimensions of approximately 58 cm x 49 cm x 26 cm, it may be a tiny bit larger than some airlines permit on board, so definitely check with your airline and compare the folded size with their requirement. In general it is in the ultra-compact category ans some airlines should accept it, though it may be that not all.
Can this stroller be taken on an airplane, and do I need a bag with it??
Hiya, Ash,
You do NOT need a bag to take any stroller on an airplane, however, it helps you carry and protect it, so it's mor of an optional, extra accessory.
Size-wise, this buggy is 58 cm x 49 cm x 26 cm when folded, and although a tight fit, it should be possible to take it on board as cabin luggage, however it varies from airline to airline, and the best is to check with yours. Some airlines should accept it.
Does this stroller have capability of a buggy board like the BABYZEN YOYO 2 Board attachment?
Hi, Abdul,
No, it doesn't - a universal buggy board such as Lascal or Bumprider would fit even without the integrated attachments. I must warn you, however, as this is such a light, small, fragile, and rattly buggy it could be very very hard to use with a sibling ride, which could even damage it, and make the frame very loose. Read more about the dangers of a buggy board here in this article.
