parents say thx^^
  • light
  • easy one-hand manupilation
  • compact for the car trunk
  • 25 kg weight maximum
  • all-terrain
  • spacious seat
  • easily reclinable/inclinable
  • easy folding system
  • very quiet, compared to different strollers
  • suspension
  • smaller basket

I was positively surprised by the nice push over different surfaces. It can tackle a dirt road, forest even, or even cobblestones with ease. The single handle (as opposed to the two handles on the previous generation) is very nice and helps with one-hand maneuvering.

Futuristic, and very nice to push

4
  • futuristic feel
  • a very small fold
  • a good push
  • wheels
  • narrow handle

To me, it looks futuristic. And it is very nice to push. Recommended for the time when you only need a buggy for your toddler (while there's still some terrain to overcome).

  • Good even for larger toddlers
  • Lie-flat seat
  • Lightweight
  • A very compact fold
  • High-quality
  • 'Hanging' seat absorbs bumps well
  • Someone could ming the hanging seat (it is not so rigid)
  • No adjustable handle
  • Some might say the shape is strange (it is not a stylish model)
  • Folds with two hands

We are happy with it, and recommend it to anyone that needs something small but capable.

The "hanging" seat might seem like a minus, but it helps to absorb the bumps from the road along with the soft frame suspension. The leg rest is adjustable - it seems very (maybe too) simple but it works.

My boy likes to be in it. I would maybe only like a handlebar adjustment for the dad - he is quite tall, so he has to bend a bit to push it.

It really works on almost any terrain

4
  • for almost all surfaces
  • soft suspension
  • spacious
  • compact
  • practical
  • sporty look (but for some, this could be a negative)
  • the fabrics fold into the seat when in the upright position
  • strap recline (but this is a minor con and thanks to that, the buggy is lighter)

An incredibly practical, very sporty-looking little pushchair, and it really works on almost any terrain. The shock-absorbing is nice and soft.

Unique

4

We like that it's unique - we have yet to meet the same one on the street. I guess it's cause not everybody is into this style. It works very well and folds down tiny.

Your questions about the TFK Dot 2

1)

Since the backrest recline type is strap-operated, is the seat is too slanted? My toddler likes to sit straight in an upright posture, and most strap-operated backrests cannot be vertical if not 90 degrees due to their design. Will it be comfortable for a child who does not like to rest their back reclined?

Hi, Chaity,

The seatback of this particular buggy is, as you say, adjusted with a strap mechanism, it will never be 90 degrees upright. Actually, even with a lever, 90degree angle is pretty much impossible on a stroller, even if some strollers do boasts quite an upright seat.

The Dot 2 is slightly slanted, but not too much. I believe any kid inside should be fine unless they truly and absolutely need a VERY VERY upright seat. Do count on a slight recline even fully inclined BUT as the seat is deep enough, it should be fine.

The smaller and lighter you'll go, the less the seat is (usually) upright. And, true, a strap recline causes the pushchair to be a bit slanted pretty much always.

I hope I helped.
