Emmaljunga NXT30

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 buttons, the handle just falls down. Great when the kid wants to push the stroller.
  • Yes, the bumper bar is very different from most (though I know now already some with similar solutions e.g Carena Kobbe). The trouble with this bumper bar is, however, that while you can take it away, there is about 5 cm of attachment still sticking out. Yes, you can fold it down, but still, I don't think the solution is ideal. My kid loved this bumper bar, it's like a wheel or something. It is possible to use a foot-muff with this bumper bar in one of three ways: 1) remove bumper bar and reattach bumper bar through the buckle opening; 2) remove bumper bar and leave it unattached; 3) fold bumper bar down and use it as such.
  • Folding is quite similar to Easywalker Mosey, but for this type of stroller, just too many movements for me. If I had to hold a toddler at the same time, it would be too much. First you have to fold the seat, then push the handle in (telescope), then fold handle and then the stroller by pushing a button behind the seat. So you definitely need both hands. Its more compact than the predecessor. 
  • The canopy is medium size, not nearly enough for Nordic conditions with low sun most of the year. It does have a peek-in window, which is convenient. The canopy can be moved quite easily. I do not understand why the canopy has white cotton fabric on the inside - just begging to get dirty.

  • The seat is long, not very wide, but wide enough for a child to fit in with winter overall and/or foot-muff. I like that the seat fabric comes a bit to the sides as well, perfect for winter conditions. The seat has a full recline, though in full recline, it can be challenging not to hit ones legs to the seat.
  • The storage basket is quite good - covered from three sides, one side is low. It has quite a good 10 kg capacity. Unfortunately when the seat is reclined it has poor access and if you have a lot of unattached things in there, they may fall out when lifting up the front wheels.
  • The push is quite easy, but the maneuverability is mediocre. But it is a steady stroller. I wouldn't hate it for the push if I had to used it daily.

Overall, what I loved about this stroller:
  1. more compact and visually appealing than Emmaljunga Scooter
  2. environmentally conscious
  3. T-shaped bumper bar
  4. Long seat
  5. The adjustable footrest is cover with easy to clean material (perfect for toddlers!)
  6. Full-recline
  7. Storage basket has 10 kg capacity
  8. My kid loved it!
What I wasn't sold on:
  1. Inside white (though organic cotton, but why??) canopy
  2. Folding
  3. Weight
  4. Bumper bar should be completely removable

Review: Bumbleride indie 2018 and differences from 2017 version

My love for stroller began about a year and half ago, when I found myself thinking, while taking my 7 month old daughter to a stroll for her nap, that perhaps the reason for not loving those walks as much as I should, was the stroller. I found it hard to push, the canopy was not long enough and I felt it limited where I could go. I had bought, about a year before, Mutsy Igo (2016). And don´t get me wrong, it is a perfectly ok stroller, but just not for my needs. The reason I had bought it, was that it was the most different I could find from the classical Emmaljunga that is almost repulsively popular in Estonia. Mutsy Igo was minimalistic, seemed to be compact and light. Boy, had I little information. This post is not meant as a negative review about Mutsy Igo, but rather to praise the stroller that I found after it. I found Bumbleride Indie. I found it after months of searching through all the sporty and all-terrain strollers I knew and ordered it off the internet like a pig in a bag ...

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 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 ...
