For sleep, walks and long trips: TOP 5 best pushchairs "3 in 1"

The universal pushchair of the Polish manufacturer VerDi is presented in 40 colour options: there are both one-tone or two-tone, and models with drawings. The Sonic series is an improved analogue of a fairly popular low-cost pushchair Tako Jumper X 2 in 1 . The model received a folding aluminium chassis and large inflatable wheels.

From birth to six months, parents will use the VerDi Sonic cradle. Although a length of 75 cm may not be enough for tall toddlers already in 4-5 months. Inside the bed is covered with natural, hypoallergenic materials, the lining can be removed to wash. For carrying there is a handle on the hood and two handles on the sides at the base. You can use the cradle without the chassis — as a cradle.

A small viewing window is provided on the hood, which is not equipped with Hook-and-loop or zippers for reliable fixation in the closed position. In a strong wind, the window opens by itself.

The back and footrest of the VerDi Sonic walking unit is adjustable in a wide range, providing a fully recumbent position for the baby. A soft bumper with a groin jumper and a 5-point adjustable belt are responsible for the safety of the baby in the "walk". For ventilation, there is a section in the hood already with a built-in mosquito net. There is also an observation window, but it is, as in the cradle, without a snake or Hook-and-loop.

Together with the VerDi Sonic pushchair, parents receive a 0+ car seat, a traditional set of accessories (bag, raincoat, foot wrap, mosquito net, adapters for fixing the car seat on the chassis) and a bottle holder. The car seat itself is not too practical: it has a sufficiently raised backrest, which is not recommended for kids who are not sitting themselves yet.

In general, in terms of manoeuvrability, compactness and design, this pushchair is one of the most popular 3-in-1 models in the low-cost segment.

In 2015, Roan released a 3-in-1 Bass pushchair. The model is offered in 34 design options, which differ not only in the colour of the upholstery, but also the colour of the frame, the plastic base of the cradle.

The Roan Bass has a slightly flattened chassis frame, which adds rigidity to the pushchair under heavy loads. 4 large inflatable wheels are responsible for good cross-country ability. Spring shock absorption of the rear axle ensures smooth and soft running. Additional manoeuvrability is guaranteed by the swivel front wheels with the possibility of fixing.

Both the cradle and the "walk" are quite roomy, even large or heavily wrapped up in the cold season, the little ones will not be cramped. The walking block is equipped with a large hood — it opens up to the bumper. It will protect the child well from direct sunlight or rain (if precipitation is not strong, then it is not necessary to get a raincoat that creates a "greenhouse effect" inside).

However, these important advantages are directly related to the main disadvantage of the Bass model — bulkiness.

The pushchair is equipped with a car seat Roan Poppi . It complies with the European standard ECE R44/04. It weighs only 2.4 kg, it is offered with an anatomical insert, thanks to which it can be used from the moment the baby is born.

Also included in the package, in addition to the "traditional" set with a raincoat, a bag, a mosquito net and a cape for legs is a plaid. And the bottom of the cradle is covered with a double-sided mattress with felt (for winter) and coconut filling (for warm pores).

Of the minor shortcomings, some parents highlight the inconvenient adjustment of the headrest in the cradle, difficult access to the shopping compartment when lying down "walking", squeaking wheels. Given the affordable price and the main advantages, Roan Bass is worth looking at for everyone who is looking for an inexpensive universal vehicle for a baby.

CAM Dinamico "3 in 1" is a universal vehicle for children from birth to 3 years old from the popular Italian brand. All models, regardless of the colour variant, look spectacular, as they are additionally decorated with rhinestones.

Included with this pushchair is a category 0+ car seat with an anatomical headrest and side impact protection. Also, along with the model, buyers receive a cape for legs, a mosquito net, a raincoat and a bag for things.

CAM Dinamico has a roomy cradle with a wide berth: even large children are not cramped for up to six months. The solid base is protected from blowing. Removable cotton upholstery and mattress can be washed. The position of the headrest in the bed is conveniently adjusted using an external lock. If necessary, the cradle can be used in the car.

The walking block in the pushchair is spacious and roomy. There are 4 positions for fixing the backrest with a maximum opening of 160 degrees — an almost horizontal position. The hood is large and protects well from the sun and/or rain, but it is not too obedient when the back is lowered into a horizontal position — it falls, folds itself, does not hold in the selected position. The lining of the walking block is made of synthetics — in summer the toddler sweats, besides it is slippery, and small kids just slide down.

CAM Dinamico is equipped with a reinforced chassis, thanks to which the design turned out to be particularly stable and reliable, as well as quite narrow. The cast swivel front wheels provide good manoeuvrability, and the inflatable rear wheels with high—quality cushioning provide excellent smoothness and cross-country ability. There are also shock absorbers on the front axle.

A universal pushchair with a car seat from an increasingly popular manufacturer from Poland debuted in 2016. The Cross model is designed in a more strict, classic design in comparison with another hit of anex sales — Anex Sport 2 in 1 .

anex Cross is offered in a wide variety of colour solutions. The exclusivity of the pushchair is provided by eco-leather upholstery, which looks very attractive and impressive against the background of numerous analogues.

Both the "walk" and the anex Cross cradle are distinguished by good capacity. Eco—leather protects against blowing in the cold, and a mattress made of coconut chips and a ventilation system with windows protects against overheating in the warm season. The cradle and the walking block share a large hood that guarantees shade and protection from the wind. In a car seat, it is also quite large, which often convinces you to use it together with the pushchair chassis.

The package includes a stylish backpack, a cape for legs, a raincoat, a mosquito net and an original (albeit not too roomy) compartment for products.

The pushchair is light in weight (only 11.6 kg) and has an interesting wheelbase. All 4 points of support are inflatable rubber wheels of the same diameter (23 cm). The front pair is rotatable with the possibility of fixing. This has had a positive effect on manoeuvrability and controllability, but slightly reduces cross-country ability.

But the main disadvantage of anex Cross is not even in the wheels, but in the level of reliability. The chassis frame is the weak point of the first models released in 2016. According to customer complaints, it often does not cope with loads and bursts. The manufacturer assures that the frame is additionally reinforced in new batches.

Pushchair Jane Rider the Spanish manufacturer can additionally be equipped with a branded Transporter cradle and a 0+ car seat Jane Strata . The result is a 3-in-1 model called Jane Rider Strata Transporter. Also, a pushchair can be assembled on the basis of Rider Jane Rider Micro 2 in 1 with another cradle that folds like an accordion.

Jane Rider Strata Transporter has a strong, stable, compact and lightweight chassis (it will fit in any elevator and in the boot of a subcompact). It develops both by itself and together with the "walk". The location of the cradle and the walking block is suitable for tall parents who do not have to bend over much to the child.

The small swivel front wheels provide excellent manoeuvrability: the pushchair makes a full turn around the axis on the spot. However, such a compact front axle negatively affects cross—country ability — even irregularities on asphalt, not to mention curbs, sand or snowdrifts, will require additional efforts from parents. The rear axle is complemented by a spring shock absorption system with two modes of operation and a manual parking brake. All wheels are solid cast.

The cradle of the pushchair is too small: 70 cm long and 30 cm wide. In winter clothes, large babies will be cramped. It can be used in the car interior: it has special fasteners for this and a reinforced structure. The strengths of the bed include membrane fabric upholstery with a ventilation system, convenient adjustment of the headrest (the regulator is located outside the sleeping unit), 3-point seat belts.

The Jane Rider Strata Transporter walking block is light in weight, which will please fragile mothers. There are several steps for adjusting the backrest and footrest. The disadvantages of the "walk" include the lack of a cape for the legs and a small hood. To eliminate these disadvantages, you will have to buy additional accessories — a insulated envelope and a branded umbrella.

The car seat of the pushchair has an anatomical insert with two fixation positions, which allows it to be used both with newborns (an angle of 125 degrees is set) and with children from 4 months and older (110 degrees).

The Rider Strata Transporter model offers parents different options for traveling by car with a baby: with a car seat or a car seat. The pushchair is compact, stylish, modern and comfortable, but you also need to pay a lot for these qualities.
