Venicci Shadow 2.0

The stitched leatherette low-to-the-ground system

see 2 parent reviews

The Venicci Shadow 2.0 is a 2021 second generation of the Venicci Shadow, an elegant all-terrain model with leatherette and stitching. This robust, luxuriously-looking pram is best suitable for shorter parents as the parts sit quite low on the frame. The Shadow 2.0 differs from the first-generation Shadow mainly in the wheel area: the new rubber wheels are maintenance-free and feature new, cleaner-looking rims. The whole design of the stroller is a bit cleaner , with only minor detail tweaks and no significant functional changes. A small difference can be found in the folding system, where two pull-up levers on the push bar were changed for two push, more traditional-looking levers instead.

The Shadow 2.0 is normally offered as a 2in1 or a 3in1 from-birth system. It includes a spacious, inclinable bassinet, a reversible lie-flat seat unit, and the optional car seat with Maxi-Cosi/Cybex style of attachment (own brand or better-known car seat brands can be attached). A set of accessories (leg covers, rain covers, mosquito nets, diaper bag, cup holder, car seat adapters, and back wheels covers) is included with the stroller set as well.

parents say thx^^
  • elegant
  • large, extendable hood on the bassinet
  • accessories included
  • easy folding
  • fabrics look cheaper than on the picture
  • quite a large pram (while not tall at all)
  • shallow basket, sometimes things fall out

A lovely look, just looks less expensive in real life. I think it's because of the fabrics.

I am also unsure about the seat, but we'll see.

For dirtroads and bad terrain while not wanting a three-wheeler or a fixed-wheel stroller, very nice.

To me, it's too heavy and bulky for a pram that, with a tall husband, looks funny. It does push nicely over bumps and the elegant look is also a plus, but the long base and the overall bulkiness are hard to live with if traveling by car alone often.

Your questions about the Venicci Shadow 2.0

1)

Can it fold with the seat unit on?

Hi Sami,

Yes, in theory, you can fold it with te seat, but pretty much, with the seat only facing forward. Also, you need to count on the folded úackage with the seat being really large, and for many, actually to fold and store the two separately is more space-saving.
