Cradle, stroller and car seat: TOP 5 3-in-1 strollers

Dada Paradiso Group Carino 2 in 1

The stroller from the Polish manufacturer Dada Paradiso Group is not in vain very often found on the streets — it attracts young parents with its appearance and affordable price.

In addition to a beautiful wrapper, the “chariot” has good driving characteristics: large swivel wheels provide excellent manoeuvrability and high cross-country ability. With snow, slush and off-road, the stroller handles with a bang. It is only necessary to take care of the integrity of tyres that are prone to puncture. As expected, the front wheels can be locked in the “straight only” position, and the rear wheels are equipped with a parking brake. The handbrake is common to both wheels, and thanks to its large size, the foot gropes for it without difficulty.

The cradle, stroller unit and car seat are placed on a raised frame, which allows people with medium and short stature to practically not bend down to the child. The handle of the stroller does not flip over, instead, there is the possibility of turning the cradle and car seat into the “onward” or “away from you” position. By the way, both the one-piece handle and the small handles on the cradle have a very elegant appearance with “leather-like” styling.

Inside the cradle, the child will be comfortable in any conditions: in winter it reliably protects the baby from wind and snow, and in summer it creates a shadow. A walk in this regard also does not lag behind — the hood, lowered right up to the bumper, as well as a long cape on the legs, is designed to protect the child from the effects of precipitation and direct sunlight. The child is fixed inside the walking block with the help of five-point seat belts. But what is missing is a window in the hood for monitoring the baby. Plus, the fastening of the visor itself weakens over time and has to be tightened periodically.

A complete car seat does not have a high level of safety — it just has a place to be. Also, it is not very suitable for transporting newborns, because due to the large angle of inclination of the back of the chair, the child is in a semi-sitting position.

All fabric parts of the stroller can be easily removed for subsequent washing, so there are no problems even with easily soiled white. And if you prefer a different colour, the number of DPG Carino colour schemes is so diverse that it can satisfy the taste of the most demanding gourmet.

Camarelo Picasso 2 in 1

In 2015, the model range of Polish Camarelo strollers was replenished with a representative with improved safety conditions for the baby.

The Camarelo Picasso stroller rests on a lightweight aluminium frame that weighs only 4.9 kg. Together with the cradle, stroller or car seat, the total weight of the entire assembly barely exceeds 10 kg. This means that new parents do not have to strain to lift the stroller up the stairs or push it downhill.

The stroller has 4 support points, which are inflatable wheels. Their disadvantage is the tendency to puncture, and the advantage is high cross-country ability, which is achieved in tandem with a two-stage suspension travel adjustment. The front wheels are able to turn and, if necessary, are blocked in the “straight” position.

The large and spacious ventilated carrycot is upholstered in fabric and leather. Eco-leather is also present on the handle of the stroller, which can be adjusted in height in the range from 74 to 115 cm. The outer length of the cradle reaches 85 cm, which allows you to carry a child in it until he reaches 9 months of age. Mounting on the chassis is double-sided, i.e. the cradle can be installed both in the direction of travel and against it. The same applies to the complete car seat included in the age group 0+ (from 0 to 13 kg).

The walking block is placed facing the parent. For the comfort of the baby, it provides a 4-position adjustment of the angle of the backrest, as well as an additional insulated cover on the legs for walking in the cold season.

The package includes a mosquito net, a rain cover, a sturdy shopping basket with a hard bottom and a handy bag for things. When folded, all this does not take up much space, thanks to which the stroller fits into the boot of an average car.

Anex Sport 2 in 1

In terms of price-quality ratio, the anex Sport book-folding stroller occupies one of the key positions among the transport for newborns.

Large wheels with double shock absorption system provide a smooth ride on a wide variety of surfaces, whether it's paving slabs or dirt roads. And thanks to the fact that the front wheels can turn, the stroller has a high level of manoeuvrability. Real reviews from the owners of anex Sport confirm the fact that the stroller eats up any coating.

The real delight of young parents is the spacious cradle with a water-repellent coating applied over the fabric. It is so effective that in light rain you don’t even have to take out a raincoat — all the moisture itself will gather into droplets and slide down. The carrycot comes with an orthopedic mattress.

In the walking version, the child will feel no less comfortable. The same applies to the car seat, which can be used right from birth. The chair and the cradle can be mounted on the frame of the stroller both in the direction of travel and against it.

A nice addition for stroller owners will be an anti-slip eco-leather handle, a roomy bag, and a closed shopping basket. In terms of dimensions, the stroller fits into standard elevator openings, but dragging it on foot to the top floor can be difficult — the entire assembly weighs about 16 kg.

In the vastness of the World Wide Web about the stroller, there are extremely positive reviews. Almost none of the owners have any negative aspects associated with its operation, which once again confirms the high quality of the model.

Chicco Trio Activ3 Top 3 in 1

The three-wheeled stroller from the well-known manufacturer of baby products Chicco is characterized by excellent cross-country ability and comfortable conditions for the baby.

The rubber wheels of the stroller have a two-position shock absorption system: for driving on a flat surface and on rough terrain. Therefore, with a child, you can easily walk along forest paths or unpaved streets. For ease of manoeuvring, the front wheel is swivel. If necessary, it is easy to block it, for which a separate mechanism is provided on the handle of the stroller. In addition, there was a place on the handle for a hand brake for the rear wheels, which allows you not to bend down when braking the stroller.

The smallest children (from birth to 6 months of age) are transported in a deep cradle that prevents wind blowing, which is especially important in the cold season. The cradle has a soft surface and a wide visor, and the angle of its inclination is adjusted using a special wheel. But large children in winter clothes may lack space in width. The total weight of the carrycot with the aluminium frame of the stroller is 15 kg.

For older children (from 6 months to 3 years) the walking block is intended. Its distinguishing features are a wide seat and as many as 5 backrest positions — from fully reclining to sitting. And in order for the child to sleep peacefully, the visor is able to fall right up to the bumper. Two transparent windows will help control the sleep of the child.

The car seat category 0+ (0-13 kg) deserves special praise. Its safety is confirmed by a high score (4 stars) according to the results of independent crash tests. The car seat comes with a base that is fixed with the car's standard seat belts. It must be installed against the movement of the machine. The child is securely fixed in the seat with the help of three-point seat belts. It also has its own visor and can be installed on the stroller chassis.

The high class of the stroller is also confirmed by thoughtful little things: a durable shopping basket, a convenient organizer for storing small things, a mesh for blowing sewn into the visor, etc. Another important plus is the ease of folding the stroller and the compact design when folded, which increases its transportable properties.

Concord Fusion 2 in 1

The Concord Fusion stroller is a representative of the top segment and is famous for its true German build quality.

The stroller is equipped with large rear and swivel front wheels. They are equipped with durable rubber tyres that allow you to travel on almost any surface. When driving off-road, the child may be somewhat uncomfortable, since the shock absorption system of the stroller practically does not provide proper damping of vibrations that occur on bumps. In fact, this is practically the only bitter pill in the design.

The results of the work of German engineers were embodied in a walking block that is very convenient for the baby. Unlike colleagues in the workshop, the walk allows you to transport children of 2-3 years of age in a completely lying position, which is facilitated by a large seat. The child's legs can be bent at the knees or fully extended. The backrest is lowered and raised with the help of special belts, which automatically indicates the high reliability of the mechanism for adjusting its inclination. And the real surprise is hidden in the bumper — under the zipper you can find a waterproof cape for the legs.

The type of cradle and car seat depends on the selected configuration of the stroller. The first can be represented by one of two options: Concord Sleeper with the ability to install in a car or Concord Scout, capable of folding into a cocoon state. The car seat will also have to choose between two different versions: Concord Ion or more advanced Concord Air Safe . Depending on the choice, the final price of a stroller can differ by almost two times.

The stroller folds in just one movement, without taking up much space. The folding mechanism is located on the handle, which has a rubberized coating. Another feature of the stroller can be called a wide wheelbase — it does not always fit with the rear wheels on special ramps. But it passes into a typical passenger elevator, albeit back to back.
