Tako Alive

DISCONTINUED in 2015
see 2 parent reviews

The Tako Alive is a robust 2in1 stroller system with a specifically shaped chassis equipped with a soft suspension system. The air-filled wheels are suitable even for more demanding terrain. The carrycot and the seat are positioned higher to provide closer contact with the child. You can put them on the chassis in both directions. The plastic carrycot is sufficiently spacious and for an older child, the mattress in it can even be inclined. The seat can be reclined flat, including the leg rest. The seat comes with a washable seat liner. Using adapters, you can add a car seat to the chassis to create a travel system.

The Alive is available in a basic version featuring a black base with fabrics and wheel spokes in contrasting, bold colors. It was also released in special editions: Tako Alive Art with patterns on the plastic part of the carrycot and the color-coordinated hood; Tako Alive Born To Ride in neutral colors with a contrasting print; Tako Alice Ecco featuring eco-leather fabrics; Tako Alive Energy with a dynamic pattern on the plastic part of the carrycot and the color-coordinated changing bag or Tako Alive New in pastel colors and a dot pattern on the base of the carrycot.

parents say thx^^

Nothing special

3
  • good price
  • pretty design
  • like any stroller system, you need a big car boot and the nerve to load/unload it from the car...

Classic 3 in 1 set, nothing special. I had a limited pattern of flowers - it was nice, it fulfilled its purpose. The bassinet was ok for about 6 months, the seat part for another 6 months. After the 1st year I didn't want to be bothered with folding it nor with the seat anymore, since I drive a car every day, so I changed for a smaller buggy.

A classic 3in1 set

3
  • good price
  • nice design
  • can handle any terrain - at least for us
  • seat unit only up to 15 kg, which at my then 1,5 was not enough... I'd need at least up to 20 kg
  • the seat needs more work...

Satisfaction for me. It's a classic 3in1 set, I had it in green.
