Warm, roomy and all-terrain: TOP-5 universal pushchairs for winter

The universal pushchair of the Polish brand with the prefix Soft differs from its predecessor Roan Bass 2 in 1 with the Shock Absorber System. It softens bumps, providing a smoother ride, helps to rock the newborn. The shock absorbers are easily blocked, for example, to confidently overcome snowdrifts or slippery road sections.

Roan Bass Soft is available in both fabric and leather upholstery, with different color options available for each option. In total, over 13 design variations are available to customers to choose from.

The cradle of the pushchair is characterized by a spacious sleeping place (83x37 cm) with a total dimensions of 88x43 cm. Even a large and warmly dressed baby will not be cramped. Inside, the bassinet is lined with cotton materials (the lining is removable for washing) and comes with a coconut coir mattress, rather than the budget foam counterpart that most 2-in-1 pushchairs come with. The headboard can be raised so that the baby can see everything around. The cover of the cradle is tightly fixed on the base and is equipped with a small side from the wind.

"Walk" Roan Bass Soft received a large hood with an additional insert, which allows you to almost completely cover the child from the sun's rays or a blizzard. The walking block is installed both in the direction of travel and against.

The back of the “walk” is adjustable in four positions, up to completely horizontal, and the footrest in three positions. According to some users, the adjustment process takes some getting used to. The lever for tilting the back is not very convenient, sometimes it does not work the first time, which is a minus of the model. The disadvantages include the lack of a crotch strap on the bumper.

Acceptable cross Roan Bass Soft provide large inflatable wheels (rear diameter is 29 cm). The front pair rotates 360 degrees, which helps you quickly change direction.

The standard package includes a handbag, a zippered shopping basket, a mosquito net, a rain cover, a footmuff and a warm blanket. The last two accessories strengthen the position of the model in the category of universal pushchairs, well prepared for the cold season.

Launched in 2017, the Adamex 2-in-1 pushchair features a carbon-look plastic carrycot base (hence the name Carbon Deluxe). The upper part of the model is trimmed with eco-leather. The main design variations suggest restrained tones, for example, gray, brown, blue, beige.

Adamex Monte Carbon Deluxe is equipped with a cradle with a spacious bed. Inside, soft upholstery and a coconut coir mattress are offered. As in many Adamex models, a winter-summer double hood is provided. The top warm layer is easily removed, and under it there is a "breathable" lightweight grid.

Another feature of the cradle is a high reclining screen that protects the bed from gusts of wind. Interestingly, when it is raised, you can still watch the baby, since there is a transparent window under the lapel. A similar innovation is implemented in another model of the brand - Adamex Vicco 2 in 1 . A special wind screen is also implemented on the leg cover of the walking block.

The main feature of the "walk" is a large hood that folds down almost to the bottom. The back and a footboard are conveniently regulated. The safety of the baby during the movement is ensured by the traditional 5-point harness and the inguinal jumper fixed on the bumper.

The pushchair is equipped not with traditional inflatable rubber wheels that can be punched, but with the most unpretentious gel wheels. Under the rubber tyre is not an air chamber, but an elastic gel that is well protected from wear.

To improve cross-country ability, the size of the wheels was increased (rear 30 cm, and front 25 cm in diameter). With them it is easier to drive off-road, to overcome snow-covered paths. The front pair of wheels is swivel with the possibility of blocking.

The smooth running of the first children's transport is facilitated by a double shock absorption system: springs are provided for both the wheels and the chassis. The latter are switchable, which allows you to adjust the stiffness of the suspension.

A nice feature of Adamex Monte Carbon Deluxe is a rich package. In addition to a rain cover, a mosquito net, a footmuff, a closed shopping compartment and a parents' bag, there is a hand muff, a cup holder, and an additional mosquito cover for the cradle.

The disadvantage of the pushchair is a large weight even by the standards of universal models: over 15 kg. With a newborn baby inside, lifting it will not be easy. Otherwise, it is no coincidence that Adamex Monte Carbon Deluxe is very popular among those who are looking for a functional, well-equipped pushchair in the middle price segment.

The pushchair offered by the Dutch company Mutsy has a stylish design, even despite the modest variability of colors by modern standards. Buyers are available in 7 colors mainly in discreet colors, including gray, black, graphite and beige.

Mutsy Evo 2 in 1 boasts a fairly light weight: 11.8 kg with the seat unit installed. It's easier unless Silver Cross Surf 2 in 1 but it's 2.5 times more expensive.

The pushchair is also easy to store. When folded, it takes up minimal space, fits in the trunk of even a small car. And the fact that you can fold the model without removing the “walk” will save time and effort.

The sleeping place for a newborn in Mutsy Evo is large enough (77 cm in length) so that it is not crowded both for an already grown up baby and a baby dressed in a warm envelope. The inner lining and mattress can be easily removed for washing. The base of the cradle is a solid wooden bottom. It, according to the European manufacturer, contributes to the anatomically correct position of the baby's body and natural air ventilation. The hood of the carrycot has a viewing window and a pocket for various small items.

The walking block is also distinguished by good capacity. In four positions, both the backrest (to a fully horizontal position) and the footrest are adjustable in it. The hood has an additional section and an opening viewing window. The disadvantage of the hood is its short length: it does not provide 100% protection from the sun or wind.

The Mutsy Evo comes with a leg cover, an all-purpose rain cover, a shopping compartment and a bag with multiple compartments. Of the standard accessories, only a mosquito net is missing.

The pushchair is easy to handle due to its compactness and light weight. Rather large rear wheels contribute to all-terrain properties, although due to the rather compact front wheels, relatively even and snow-free asphalt is more comfortable for the model. An additional advantage when walking will be cast tyres that are not afraid of sharp objects.

Mutsy Evo is a good choice for those who appreciate mobility, lightness and other traditional advantages of pushchairs from Western European brands.

The 2 in 1 pushchair of the Polish brand Bebetto is available in various color modifications. Both the color of the fabric upholstery and the color of the frame may differ. The standard version is white or black. Bebetto Tito 2 in 1 is also available in Premium version. She has a chrome frame and rims, the plastic base of the cradle is finished in carbon (like the Adamex Monte Carbon Deluxe). But premium modification is more expensive.

The model is 2 cm narrower than the traditional 60 cm standard for most analogues. Due to this, the pushchair will freely pass through any door and elevator without touching the edges. Due to such compactness, neither the dimensions of the cradle bed (78x36 cm) nor the “walk” seat (width 32 cm) were affected. Even a warmly wrapped child will not be constrained in his movements in Bebetto Tito.

The universal pushchair is equipped with a strong, moderately heavy frame with an adjustable suspension system for the chassis. Additional springs are provided for the rear wheels. They also offer the ability to adjust the stiffness of the suspension.

The wheels themselves are rubber. The diameter of the rear is 30 cm, which helps to overcome various obstacles. The front pair of wheels is swivel.

The cradle of the pushchair is made of plastic, and the outer skin is made of water-repellent materials with UV50 protection. The inner removable cotton upholstery is complemented by a coconut mattress. The carrycot hood not only features a canopy, but also drops lower than competing models. On the lower cover there is a wind screen, which, when raised, is fixed by a magnet to the hood and closes the child from the weather.

The walking block Bebetto Tito is reversible, it can be placed both to and from parents. The hood is equipped with an opening window for ventilation and an additional section that allows you to unfold like a bathyscaphe, completely covering the child. The seat and footrest are easily adjustable, the bumper is equipped with a crotch strap.

Both a special shopping basket and a bag made in the color of the fabric upholstery of the pushchair will help you take children's toys with you and carry various products. The package includes a universal rain cover and a mosquito net, a footmuff and a cup holder.

Overall, the Bebetto Tito is one of the best all-round pushchairs for winter that is both warm and not too bulky.

Italian developers from CAM, as befits trendsetters, pay special attention to the appearance of their pushchairs. The Linea Classy Tris 3 in 1 is no exception. It is offered in two color options: the beige version received inserts with rhinestones, and the blue version received metallic edging and eco-leather lining.

CAM Linea Classy Tris is a modern example of a classic pushchair. The aluminium frame is complemented by reliable depreciation, which qualitatively “extinguishes” various irregularities. Four large wheels with a diameter of 34 cm with spring shock absorbers provide high cross-country ability even outside the paved sidewalks. The absence of a swivel mechanism affects manoeuvrability, but given the acceptable weight and overall dimensions, it is not difficult to control the pushchair.

Between the wheels is a large aluminium shopping basket.

Thanks to the Quicky System mounting system on the CAM Linea Classy Tris chassis, it is easy to install both the cradle and the pushchair unit in front of or against the movement. The bed for a newborn is equipped with a ventilated bottom, cotton inner upholstery, a headboard adjustable in three positions. The detachable hood with a visor and a built-in mosquito net has standard sizes, however, its opening/closing is accompanied by loud clicks, which is one of the shortcomings of the model.

"Walk" is equipped with a backrest adjustable in four positions, a removable bumper, a soft liner and traditional 5-point seat belts. The hood is equipped with a viewing window, but is short enough in length so that it does not provide perfect protection from the sun and / or gusts of wind. The frame can be folded directly with the walking block, which makes it easier to store and / or transport the CAM Linea Classy Tris by car.

The pushchair is equipped with the Area zero+ car seat, designed for children from birth to a weight of 13 kg. Also included in the basic package is a raincoat, a bag for things, a cape for legs. Given the presence of a child car seat, the CAM Linea Classy Tris does not look overpriced. The model is suitable for those who plan not only to often walk with the baby in any weather, but also to drive a car with him.
