Tako City Voyager
The Tako City Voyager is a robust stroller system with simple functions, suitable for less demanding parents that need to handle a demanding terrain often. Thanks to the four large, fixed, air-filled wheels and a soft suspension system on the wheels and the chassis, the Voyager certainly won’t have any issues to provide a smooth ride. Although the Voyager comes with a fixed seat, it is suitable from birth. For a baby, you can use a soft carrycot that you can insert into the seat, together with an elevating part of the lower part of the seat and a high apron. The direction of the seat can be changed by reversing the handlebar.
In 2008, the commercial inspections declared the City Voyager dangerous for the risk of trapping the fingers or limbs of the child, the insufficient blocking mechanism of the fold and for the phthalate content. The producer was trying to rectify all these issues in the version marked as V2.

Parent reviews of the Tako City Voyager
Your questions about the Tako City Voyager
Hi Eli,
I've just bought a 2nd hand Teko City Voyager, but when I got it home and was googling instructions for it, I found your website, which says it is discontinued and was found to have high levels of phthalates in it. Is it safe to use for my soon-to-be-born grandchild?
Hi, Sarah,
To be honest, it is not completely safe/ok to use because of those phthalates. You may put extra liner or have new covers over the seat and the belly bar, but I would, personally, probably not use it. If it is for very occasional use and you will be sure not to expose the naked skin of the little one to the materials, you should be reasonably ok, I guess, though.
