Review: Micralite Profold

I can now no longer say Fastfold is the smallest stroller in Micralite's product line. They now have Profold. Who wouldn't want a tiny stroller with (visible) suspension and an extendable canopy? So I had to test it out. Now for those, who have before been a little skeptical about Micralite due to Fastfold's and Smartfold's very different appearance, Profold is probably more for you - it looks almost ordinary. And frankly, for that part, I am a bit dissapointed - the frame is almost the same as Silver Cross Wing and Easywalker Buggy XS have. From Micralite I would have really expected something with a little more "wow" factor. But luckily they have maintained a good selection of fabrics and indeed, the suspension is very good for a microstroller. As I said, this is a microstroller - so it will fit into the hand luggage compartment of many airlines e.g Easyjet. There are some strollers that are even smaller when folded, so I do recommend you check with

My first thoughts about this stroller were not particularly positive. The bumper bar just did not create any excitement for me. But now, a few months later, I've began to appreciate it. Perfect for a toddler "slipping" out of the stroller seat. Some technical info: Weight: 12,9 kg Measurements unfolded: 50 - 114 x 58 x 69 cm Measurements folded: 87 x 58 x 37 cm Seat dimensions: 103 x 33 cm Seat capacity: 22 kg Luggage basket capacity: 10 kg Suitable for use: 6 months to 4 years This stroller is available with four different chassis (Eco, Competition, Lounge and Outdoor), which also differ in wheels. Different frame sets also come with different colors. From the sustainability aspect, the Eco series is the most conscious one. Now, some impressions... Handle is quite thin, and I am not use to this. But it is not uncomfortable. You can change its position both as a telescope and horizontally, which is a good option. I like that when pushing the regulating

Review: Silver Cross Horizon Go

Silver Cross is more known for their luxory pram systems than regular strollers. This year they come out with Silver Cross Jet , an ultra light and compat travel stroller and now they have two more - Silver Cross Horizon City and Horizon Go. Silver Cross strollers are just as good quality as their pram systems, they look as luxorious as well. The difference between Horizon City and Horizon Go is that Go has larger wheels and a larger shopping basket. The basket is indeed huge, similarily to Silver Cross Pioneer. Another difference is that these two strollers do not have an ergonomic seat rather a full-recline. Some technical details about Silver Cross Horizon Go: Seat carrying capacity: 25 kg Dimensions open: 60 x 73 x 105 cm Dimensions folded: 60 x 87,5 x 48 cm Seat lenght: 88 cm Seat back height: 50 cm Weight: 11 kg Shopping basket carrying capacity: 5 kg The stroller can be used both parent-facing and forward facing. Interestingly the stroller is actually more

Review: Micralite FastFold

I really have fallen for Micralite. I know they are not the tiniest folded, but to me this is not the most vital aspect. But I do need a lightweight all-terrain capable stroller for my toddler. Because I was a bit unsure whether I wanted to get myself a Micralite SmartFold or FastFold I just had to test out FastFold as well.  Some technical data: Weight: 7.5 kg Footprint: 44 x 66 cm Seat back height: 52 cm (official measurement is 51 cm) Seat + footrest 29 cm Folded dimensions: 104 x 40 x 44 cm (measured myself) Suitable age: 6 months to about 100 cm Carrying capacity: 22 kg Carrying capacity of the shopping basket: 3 kg So, FastFold is the lightest stroller Micralite makes. The seat is like a hammock, which does not really remind me of any other stroller I´ve seen. There is no metal connections between the seat and frame, so the child will feel no shaking even at the roughest terrain. Most of the stroller is very similar to Smartfold. You can see my review on
