The best book strollers

Carrello strollers are very popular among parents for good reason: they offer good value for money. And the Bravo model was no exception to the rule. This is a comfortable all-season stroller with a cute design and affordable price. The manufacturer updates it annually, improving some characteristics and adding new colors, so the model remains relevant from year to year.

One of the main advantages is the large selection of different colors - from bright to more restrained and neutral. There are no patterns or multi-colored inserts here - the stroller looks stylish and expensive. The handle, bumper and footrest are covered with eco-leather, and the material from which the hood and seat are made is quite dense and durable. The upholstery is completely removable, making it easy to clean. The total weight is 9.7 kg - this is far from the lightest stroller, but, nevertheless, it will be convenient during trips and travel. Moreover, when folded, it is very compact and stable in a vertical position. However, in this case, the handle touches the floor, so it is better to place the structure vertically only at home, so as not to damage the upholstery of the handle. The transport folds up in a matter of seconds and, thanks to the presence of a special latch, prevents accidental unfolding. And the durable frame also extends the service life - the maximum permissible passenger weight is 22 kg, which means that the child will be able to ride until approximately 4 years old, until the need for a stroller disappears altogether.

The model is designed for both warm and cold weather. The hood is made of waterproof fabric, equipped with a sun visor and an additional section under the zipper. It goes down almost to the bumper, so it can protect the baby from wind, rain, snow and scorching sun. The hood is complemented by a viewing window and a spacious pocket at the back for essential items. In a fairly wide (36 cm) seat, the child will be comfortable both in light clothing and in voluminous winter overalls. In addition, buyers will be pleased with the equipment, which includes a thick warm cape on the legs to keep you warm in winter, a cup holder, a mosquito net and a standard luggage basket with easy access.

Since the stroller can withstand a load of up to 22 kg and is designed not only for small but also for older children, its seat is spacious and comfortable. The child can ride sitting, reclining or lying down thanks to the three-position adjustable backrest and rising and falling footrest. To ensure your baby has a sound sleep in the fresh air, not only a soft sleeping place and a large hood that protects from the sun are important, but also wheels with good shock absorption. Carrello Bravo CRL-8512 received front swivel wheels with a diameter of 17 cm, which, if necessary, can be locked in the straight position, and 24 cm rear wheels. All four wheels are removable, made of polyurethane and complemented by spring shock absorption. In general, it copes well with its duties: the child does not feel shaking or vibrations while driving, and it will not be difficult for parents to drive such a vehicle. Also, if necessary, you can rock your baby to sleep using shock-absorbing wheels. For the convenience of parents, it is possible to change the tilt of the handle to adjust its height to suit their height.

Carrello also took care of safety by adding reflective elements, 5-point harnesses, a crotch strap and a removable bumper.

The Lionelo brand stroller is a comfortable, practical model with a low price tag, designed for children weighing up to 15 kg, that is, up to approximately 3 years of age. It can be safely called a unisex stroller: several discreet, not too bright colors to choose from are suitable for both boys and girls. Overall, the model looks stylish and will appeal to parents who prefer minimalism. To finish the hood, the manufacturer chose high-quality material that does not get wet and has a UPF 50+ filter that reflects UV rays and protects the child from overheating. In addition, the stroller has reflective elements that improve visibility of children's transport in the evening.

The frame and seat fold down to a more compact book-like size, and the safety mechanism prevents spontaneous folding. In addition, the stroller is light in weight (about 9 kg when assembled), making it convenient not only for walks, but also for joint trips.

The seat will be spacious enough for both a baby and an older child. The backrest is adjustable using straps to a lying position, and you can also change the angle of the footrest: lower it if the child is sitting, or raise it to increase the length of the berth. By the way, the footrest is covered with eco-leather - it is much easier to clean than regular fabric. The fidget's safety is ensured by 5-point harnesses and a protective bumper, which can be removed completely or detached from only one side.

A big plus of the Lionelo Alexia is the XXL size hood. Thanks to the additional section and visor, it can be lowered almost to the bumper itself, and it reliably covers the child both in a sitting and lying position. In addition, the hood is equipped with a mesh window, which improves air circulation in summer and makes it possible to monitor the child. Thus, the stroller is universal not only in terms of design - it is suitable for walks at any time of the year.

Another pleasant advantage of the model is the packaging: despite the low price, Lionelo included in the package almost everything that could be useful for parents. This is a thick cover on the legs for walks in windy, cold weather, a mosquito net, a cup holder for bottles, coffee and other drinks, a bag for things with handles and a shoulder strap and a standard shopping basket. In addition, there is an additional pocket on the back for small things like a smartphone, napkins or wallet, so you can easily take everything you need for a walk.

The stroller is equipped with durable, maintenance-free rubber wheels with a diameter of 17 cm (front) and 24 cm (rear). All four wheels have spring shock absorbers that effectively reduce vibration levels. According to the classics, the front wheels are swivel and locked in the straight position; a central brake is located on the rear axle. The wheels are removable, making cleaning and transportation easier. Overall, the stroller is maneuverable and easy to use. We will not call it an all-terrain vehicle that easily overcomes difficult off-road conditions, but it easily climbs curbs and steps, drives on slippery tiles, grass and paving stones, and the shock absorption provides the baby with a comfortable ride without shaking. Perhaps the only thing missing is adjusting the height of the parent handle.

The Anex stroller is a good choice for active parents who travel frequently. And also for owners of small apartments, where there is simply no space to store a large, heavy stroller. The fact is that this model is quite compact and weighs only 6 kg. It's easy to carry up and down stairs, into public transport and on planes and trains. The chassis width is 46 cm, which means the stroller can fit into narrow openings without any problems. In addition, the transport folds up in a matter of seconds and, when folded, can act as small carry-on luggage. The safety mechanism prevents accidental folding and unfolding.

The stroller is equipped only with a seat block, but it can be used immediately after the birth of the child. To do this, the seat transforms into a lying position facing the parents. The unit itself is not reversible, but to turn it into some kind of analogue of a cradle for babies, you need to remove the bumper, move the mattress and hood from one side to the other. The back is not perfectly flat, so for long walks it is better to add a soft blanket or orthopedic mattress. The package includes a pillow to support the baby's head and neck. Also keep in mind that in this position the walking block is located quite low, that is, you will have to bend down and, most likely, often clean the lower upholstery of dirt in case of bad weather. At the same time, the material does not get wet and protects from sunlight (UV 50+), and the upholstery is completely removable for washing.

Despite its compactness and light weight, Anex Air-Z can withstand a load of up to 22 kg, that is, it will last until the child is approximately 4 years old.

The stroller has all the necessary functions for the comfort of the baby. The backrest is adjustable using a belt from a sitting position to an almost completely lying position. The adjustable footrest allows you to increase the length of the berth so that the baby's legs do not hang down while resting. In the standard position of the seat unit, the hood covers the small passenger well and protects from the sun, rain and wind. But when transforming into a cradle, the hood is a little short, so it’s better to make something like a curtain. A removable bumper and 5-point belts with soft pads are responsible for safety.

The wheels of the model are small, and this is understandable, given its weight. All four wheels have shock absorption, and the front pair can swivel or lock in a straight position. The ergonomic brake pedal does not damage your shoes. Overall, the stroller rides easily and does not shake much on uneven roads. But the small size of the wheels affects its maneuverability: for winter, ice, snowdrifts and off-road conditions this is definitely not the best option. And the vehicle will probably have to be carried by hand over high curbs, steps and obstacles.

By the way, another advantage is the design, or rather, a large number of colors for every taste: classic, discreet and brighter.

The stroller represents the middle price segment and is practically devoid of compromises that the manufacturer could make for the sake of a low price tag. First of all, the model can be safely taken as a reliable vehicle for any weather: the baby will be calm and comfortable both in hot summer and cold winter. The hood here is happily large and extends all the way to the bumper in both a sitting and lying position. It has a visor and mesh ventilation holes hidden under the zipper, so depending on the weather, the hood can be folded or unfolded completely. The seat is quite spacious; it will be comfortable for an older child even in warm winter overalls: its width is 35 cm, and the length of the berth is 86.5 cm. Spring cushioning will help you go over bumps without disturbing the baby, or rock him to sleep if necessary. The wheels are made of rubber, they ride easily both on a flat road and on snow or grass. But still, the stroller is more designed for city walks, since off-road the front wheels can get stuck in holes. Unfortunately, there is no warm cape for the legs in the kit, so in winter it is better to stock up on a warm blanket, but there is a raincoat that will protect you from precipitation.

The stroller is also designed for long-term use. It can withstand weight up to 22 kg, and this is a child about 4 years old. Despite the fact that the model is not intended for infants, it is possible to install a cradle and a car seat, which are sold separately. The footrest is adjustable in two positions, the backrest in three, using buttons rather than ever-tangling straps. Therefore, you can change the position when the baby, for example, falls asleep or is tired, with one hand. For protection, there are five-point harnesses and a removable bumper. There is no crotch restraint here, and although the straps securely hold the fidget, it can move a little, especially in winter clothes.

The stroller folds quickly and stands confidently in an upright position. But it weighs a lot - 10 kg, so if you live in a high-rise building without an elevator, it will not be easy. For more convenient storage or cleaning, the wheels are removable, and the protection on the handle will prevent it from getting dirty when the structure is folded. It’s a pity, but the handle is not adjustable in height, but tall parents will appreciate the axleless rear wheels - when walking, their legs will not cling to the crossbar. In addition to the rain cover, the model is equipped with a spacious basket and a cup holder, which rotates without interfering with driving into narrow passages.

The model from the German manufacturer Cybex replaced the Eezy S Twist and received several useful improvements, including a removable bumper included and larger diameter wheels (17 cm front and 21 cm rear). The stroller can withstand a load of up to 22 kg, although it can also be used for the smallest ones. The fact is that it is compatible with a car seat, a cradle and a branded cocoon Cocoon S, but for this you also need to purchase special adapters. The result is an excellent option for active parents who not only go for walks, but also travel with their baby. The model does not weigh too much - 8.6 kg, and when folded it easily fits into the trunk of a car. Moreover, the structure folds with one hand, together with the walking block, and has a lock. The chassis is only 45 cm wide, so you can easily fit through narrow elevator doorways.

The main feature of the Cybex Eezy S Twist Plus 2 is its 360-degree swivel unit. Strollers rarely add a reversing block, but here the mechanism has been brought to perfection. You do not need to lift the seat with your child to turn it in the other direction - by pressing one button on the footrest, the unit simply rotates around its axis, without causing inconvenience to either the baby or the parents. You can install it in the direction of travel, facing your mother or even sideways - in any convenient position. In addition, the footrest and backrest tilt are adjustable (up to 175 degrees), providing a comfortable sleeping place when unfolded. There are no belts - adjustment is done with one hand using a button on the back. For older children, there is an additional plastic footrest that will help when getting in and out of the stroller. But keep in mind that the stroller is most likely suitable for the warm season, since it is not very protected from the cold wind, and the kit does not include a warm cover for the legs. But the sun's rays will not be a problem: the hood folds out, going down to the bumper (in a sitting position), and has UPF50+ protection. But, unfortunately, it has neither a viewing window nor a ventilation hole.

All four wheels of the stroller have spring shock absorption, while the front wheels rotate and, if desired, are locked in a straight position. So the baby will feel comfortable when traveling both on a flat road and over potholes and potholes, and vibrations will not transfer to the parent’s handle. By the way, about it: it’s a pity, but the handle here is not telescopic, so it may be inconvenient for parents of short or tall stature. The stroller is also equipped with a spacious shopping compartment, which can be accessed even when the backrest is lowered, and the hood has an additional pocket for small items like a phone or wallet. There are a variety of colors to choose from, from bright pink to classic black, and don't worry about the fabric getting dirty quickly. All upholstery is easily removed and washed.
