Stroller and accessories reviews

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...

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...

Micralite SmartFold was a really positive surprise for me. I was a little sceptical at first due to its UFO-like apparance, but it has honestly become one of my favorites. I will explain why in the following chapters. Some technical data: Use: from 6 months, with carrycot from birth Carrying capacity of the seat: 22 kg Carrying capacity of the shopping basket: 3 kg Weight: 9.5 kg Seat back height 50 cm (+ basically 6-7 cm more room canopy) Seat depth 21 cm, width at the inside of the seat 20 cm, width at the knees 34 cm Footrest length 23.5 cm + 6.5 cm until the end of the plastic edge Folded dimensions: 104 x 44 x 44 cm Stroller width at the back wheels: 44 cm Stroller width at the front wheels (i.e maximum width): 59 cm Minimum footprint 68 x 59 cm, maximum footprint require when seat is in recline and handle bar folded outwards 115 x 59 cm. The function demonstration can be found here . The seat is an ergonomic seat, with adjustable calf-rest / foot-rest, the can...

Mountain Buggy   is not a new stroller brand for me. Last winter in Tallinn, I used Mountain Buggy Swift, quite successfully. I hope to get around to doing a small review on that too soon. Anyways, today I had a good opportunity to compare side by side Mountain Buggy Urban Jungle (UJ from here on) and Bumbleride Indie (Indie from here on). Both are three-wheelers, sporty, not not quite meant for running or rollerblading because they don't have the appropriate hand-break. They are mainly built for forward-facing use. UJ has the possibility of converting the carrycot into a parent facing seat (up to 15 kg), but in my opinion the solution isn't ideal due to very open seat and short canopy. But overall this review is from the viewpoint of using it with a toddler. I did a review on Bumbleride Indie before, you can read it here . Some technical data on UJ: Carrying capacity 25 kg (officially only 9 kg is allowed in full recline, though in my experience nothing has happened...

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 ...
