The Roan Bass Soft is a higher version of the robust Roan Bass. It is distinguished by the more easily accessible shopping basket as well as by the chassis with a double suspension system. The fabrics of the Bass Soft carrycot and seat unit are available in different color designs of 5 different collections. The Basic Collection comes in neutral, less bold colors. The Summer Collection is, on the contrary, very bright and bold. The Eco Collection features leatherette fabrics, and the Bass Soft from this collection is often referred to as Roan Bass Soft Eco. Jeans have inspired the Denim collection in melange. There is also the elegant Chevron Collection in muted colors with a stripe accent on the fabric. Unlike The Bass, the Bass Soft does not offer the option to customize the base of the carrycot with a print. It is either grey, black or white, color matched with the chassis of the chosen color design.

A spacious egg-shaped carrycot provides the child with enough of room. The coconut fiber mattress in the carrycot can be inclined. The seat unit is fully reversible and can be reclined flat. A soft cotton seat liner is included with the seat. The extendable hood comes handy, especially during summer months. The hood features a sun visor and a part which can be taken off to let some fresh air in through a ventilation panel. The shopping basket is accessible either from the top or by unzipping it from the side if the seat is reclined. The Bass Soft is a priced reasonably and comes with an array of accessories including a rain cover, a mosquito net, an apron, a changing bag and a blanket. The adapters for a car seat (own brand or a different brand) are also available, which gives you an option to create a travel system.

if you own(ed) it, own it ;-)
parents say thx^^

For me excellent

4

Roan Bass Eco Leather version - an excellent choice! Great maintenance and visually beautiful stroller. Wheels perfect, can handle even the toughest terrain. For me excellent.

I'm putting it aside for the next one

4
  • Lots of space
  • Comfy
  • Easy handling
  • After a while, despite good terrain, it squeaks :-/

Easy - I'm putting it aside for the next one ;-) For me, despite the more modern ones, it looks nice, not crazy bulky, but it's elegantly light-feeling and great to ride :)

I'll be happy when I sell it

1
  • Wobbly cot
  • Front wheels jamming
  • Weak chassis

Never again... I'll be happy when I sell it. Weak chassis, and the carry cot and seat wobble on the frame slightly.

Average

2
  • Wheels great for off-road - as they were inflatable
  • I liked that the stroller is taller
  • I was very disturbed that within a month the plastic joints started to crack, and when the baby was sleeping, the cracking sound woke her up
  • The seat was getting stuck when I was positioning it and I found out that the bar in the back was crooked; after the repair it was ok
  • As for maintenance - Denim Grey colour, very easy cleaning, only on the seat it was always dirty from little one's hands - very impractical

For me an average pram. For the second baby I will not buy it for sure.

  • large bassinet, good for winter
  • eco leather is good to clean
  • inflatable wheels
  • good for worse terrain
  • heavy
  • squeaky
  • very bulky after folding
  • bassinet is moving up and down on the frame
  • bassinet is slanted so the baby's head is lower than its body

An average pram, but we wouldn't get it the second time around :)

  • Large bassinet
  • Lots of accessories (rain cover, mosquito net, blanket...)
  • Large wheels
  • Ample storage space
  • It squeaks enough (my hubby has to grease it occasionally)
  • Its size is not compact
  • The seat will probably remain unused because of the squeaking

Super big for those that are taller, big bassinet even for winter... It doesn't make anyone angry, but I would probably choose another one next time.

Tall, large carrycot, superb suspension, foldable. I was very happy with it, and kept it for our second.

A nice pram

4

A nice pram, we're happy with it.

Very stable, durable chassis, and lightweight.

  • All-wheel suspension plus a central one
  • Good value for money
  • Front wheel distance too short, it gets stuck

:thumbsup: Good choice. Very stable, durable chassis, and lightweight.

The springs dampen vibrations well. One disadvantage we have (only just found) is that the size of the front wheels is larger than the distance between them. This can cause them to collide when pushing. I have also noticed this problem with other large wheeled strollers...

  • Eco-leather was easy to clean
  • We passed through harsh terrain as well as through snow
  • Air-filled wheels stayed inflated the whole time - no need to reinflate, and we never had a puncture
  • A spacious carrycot is an advantage with a bigger baby
  • Many accessories included - rain cover, leg covers, blanket, changing bag - and the price was very nice as well
  • Robust and heavy
  • Started squeaking quickly
  • The carrycot was kind of loose on the chassis - it moved up and down slightly, and the head of the baby was lower than its legs
  • The huge, bulky seat unit part never got used

It served us while we had it, but we were glad to get rid of it. It had its advantages - mainly the fact that it went through most terrains (even snow), but it was very heavy, and it started squeaking quickly.

Your questions about the Roan Bass Soft

1)

Hello, my name is Elena. I have the Roan Bass stroller for my son. I need to buy new rear wheels.

Thank you

Hi, Elena,

To get spare wheels - or any spare part, for that matter, you have a few options. First, you should be contacting the seller you bought your pram, the Roan Bass Soft, at - he should provide you with - or sell you - spare parts either as a part of the warranty or for a fee if the warranty is not applicable.

Next, if that is not an option, you should be contacting any sellers/distributors of the
around and ask them for help; they should be able to order spare parts from the manufacturer.

The second-to-last step to take is to write or call the manufacturer's - Roan - customer service directly (info@roan.pl), they might help you as well. They might, of course, not, too - you never know, but it's worth a try.

The last thing I would do is to check classifieds to find if someone is not selling their Roan Bass or Roan Bass Soft - and buy it cheap to use parts you need, in your case, the rear wheels.

Do take into account that new/or older/ wheels might get broken again. Be aware not to underinflate or overinflate them to keep them in a good condition longer.
