For outdoor walks and travel: TOP 5 walking sticks

The stroller belongs to the low-cost segment and is positioned as a demi-season, which confirms the presence of a warm footmuff in the kit, which will warm the baby in a cold winter. The model is designed for children under the age of 3-4 years (maximum weight 25 kg), however, the seat width is small - 32 cm, so an older child, even in warm clothes, may be uncomfortable. But the width of the chassis is also small (47 cm), and this is already a plus: the stroller is oversized, it will not get stuck in doorways and narrow aisles. And she herself does not take up much space, especially when folded, and weighs 6.6 kg, that is, a little heavier than an eggplant with water. There is a carrying handle on the side, so traveling on public transport or to another city will not be a problem.

But it’s still not worth driving off-road: the twin front and rear wheels, although they provide good stability, are still unlikely to cope with serious obstacles. Cushioning also leaves much to be desired, so driving over bumps, rocks and pits will also be a serious test for your child.

But on flat roads, the comfort of the baby is guaranteed. The backrest is adjustable in three positions, the footrest in four. The hood with an additional section on the fastener will cover from the wind and the scorching sun. Safety was also approached responsibly: the stroller is equipped with five-point harnesses, a removable bumper and a groin limiter.

The manufacturer did not forget about the convenience of parents. A pocket was added at the back for various little things like a phone or napkins, a basket for shopping, toys or other things necessary for a walk is attached to the bottom. But the handle, unfortunately, is not adjustable in height, so people with big growth will have to bend down a bit. In general, the stroller still has some drawbacks, which are explained by the low price tag.

The stroller of the Polish brand Lionelo has a good value for money, or rather, it offers reliable transport for long walks in any weather at an attractive price. The stroller is designed for children aged 6 months to 3 years or for a maximum load of 15 kg. The kid will be able to ride sitting, watching what is happening on the street, or lying down thanks to the adjustable backrest and footboard in four positions. A soft quilted mattress will ensure a sweet sleep, an XXL size hood will cover you from bad weather and hot sun, and safety is guaranteed by five-point harnesses, a bumper bar and a groin guard. Stylish linen-like upholstery is easy to wash and adds a more solid look to the model, there are several colors to choose from.

Special attention is paid to the wheels, paired both at the rear and at the front. They are made of rubber and do not require additional care, while the front swivel with the ability to lock straight. As a result, you are provided with good manoeuvrability, and spring damping on the front wheels will reduce shaking from bumps in the road and minimize discomfort for the child.

The stroller is convenient not only for children, but also for their parents. It weighs a little - 7 kg, folds quickly and takes up little space during transportation and storage. There is also double protection against accidental folding. The frame is made of high quality metal, which is lightweight yet durable. The handle here is double, each rotates 360 degrees so that mom or dad chooses the desired position for themselves. The shopping basket is mounted quite high, which makes it difficult to access things inside, especially in the horizontal position of the back. But while driving, it will not rub against curbs and other hills.

Despite the democratic price tag, Lionelo Irma pleases with a complete set for all occasions. It includes a warm footmuff, a raincoat and a mosquito net for walks on summer evenings.

The popular company Peg Perego with Italian registration has in its assortment the Si Completo stroller, which replaced the Si model. It is not in vain that many mothers and fathers fell in love with it, as it is a strong, comfortable and fairly light stroller. The fabric is durable, cleans well and repels liquids. When folded, the design stands upright, which is convenient for storage or when traveling, and allows you to carry it with a special handle - just right for active parents. The weight of 7.2 kg is, although not the minimum, but far from the largest indicator. The double handle eliminates single-handed operation, but is height adjustable to suit both tall and shorter users. The wheels have different diameters (16 cm in front and 18 cm in the back), depreciation, easily overcome curbs and withstand driving on uneven surfaces, but they can’t cope with melted snow and mud. In addition, when going off-road, the wheels and handles begin to rattle. Nevertheless, despite the unpleasant sound, they steadfastly hold on to their places.

The most important thing is the comfort of the child, and for Italians this is rule No. 1. To protect him from bad weather, a rain cover and a warm cape for the legs were added to the kit, and the adjustable back and footrest turn the seat into a comfortable lying place at any time. True, it is regulated with two hands using the buttons on the sides, so the child's head drops sharply if no one helps you and does not hold the back. There are complaints about the hood. Yes, it unfolds, but almost completely covers the baby only in a sitting position. If the little one is sleeping, you will have to think about an additional curtain, otherwise the sun will shine on your face. The decision to make a mesh insert instead of a visor is controversial - it will protect against insects, but not from bright sunlight. In addition, there is another mesh insert under the pocket, but it is not large enough for good ventilation or child care. The shopping compartment is roomy, but its height is too low: the bottom of the basket rubs against the ground and curbs, requires constant cleaning and can wear out over time. Also, the stroller allows the installation of a car seat, for which special belts are provided.

The expensive Maclaren stroller has replaced the Maclaren Quest model and will be a good solution for active walks and travel. It weighs 5.5 kg (without awning and basket), and the width of the chassis is only 46 cm, that is, the stroller is quite narrow and provides good manoeuvrability. One of the main differences from its predecessors is a one- piece handle, which is more convenient than a double one. You will be able to operate the baby transport with one hand, but you will only be able to do this on a flat surface - for example, on tiles in a store. However, the stroller folds in the form of a cane, and a shoulder strap and a handle are provided for easy carrying. In addition, the kit comes with a rain cover for walking in any weather and a shopping basket. True, putting things and bags in it is not very convenient. Also, while walking, parents will appreciate a small pocket on the back where a phone or wallet can fit, a viewing window to watch the baby, reflective stripes for traveling in the dark and a loop on the arm for a full control.

The stroller will become a reliable companion for a child up to 3.5 - 4 years old (maximum load is 25 kg), and thanks to the backrest adjustable to a horizontal position, even a baby will comfortably fit inside. The footrest is also adjustable, increasing the bed while the baby is resting, and when he grows up, a solid partition between the wheels will take on the role of the footboard. The hood has an interesting square shape and protects the little traveler from the bright sun, wind, precipitation and ultraviolet radiation, almost completely covering the seat with the help of an additional section with mesh ventilation holes under the zipper. By the way, all plastic parts have rounded tips so that the child is not accidentally injured. Five-point harnesses are also responsible for safety, but for some reason there is no protective bumper and crotch strap. Instead, the manufacturer added a soft baffle at the back, where the head rests, and a protective pad on the legs, which folds under the footrest when not needed. Together, they are designed to keep the baby in the seat so that he does not accidentally slip out, but the pad is made of thin mesh and can tear over time.

Maclaren Quest ARC did some work on the wheels, making the rear wheels double and the front wheels single with straight locking. A good solution was the brake pedal on one rear wheel, which blocks both wheels at once - while walking, you will not cling to the brake with your feet. But the diameter of the wheels is small - 13 cm in front and behind, so it’s better not to drive off-road, as you will run into the slightest obstacles.

The stroller is designed mainly for walks in spring and summer, although, of course, you can also use it in winter and autumn. It is not cheap, but it differs, first of all, in its ease of use. The stroller weighs 6.9 kg, and although the chassis is only 49 cm wide, allowing you to easily pass through elevator doors and narrow openings, the bed for the child is quite spacious, even with thick winter things. The model is designed for children aged 6 months to 3 years. The handle is not double, but solid, but be careful - because of the folding mechanism, the slots strive to pinch the skin of your fingers, and, unfortunately, no soft lining is provided. In addition, the handle is not adjustable in height, so it will be comfortable for parents up to 160-170 cm tall. I would also like more length - when walking, the legs beat against the back that is laid out to a horizontal position.

And if parents have to put up with some nuances, then a comfortable rest and a restful sleep are guaranteed for the baby. The back and footrest are adjustable in several positions, allowing the child to sit or lie down, all four wheels are cushioned so that the little one will not shake on uneven roads, and the protective bumper and five-point harness will keep even the most active fidget. By the way, the bumper here is soft and not as reliable as a hard one, but this is necessary for convenient folding. But it is removed from one side or completely. But, perhaps, the main feature was a large hood with a sun visor and a mesh insert for better ventilation, through which you can watch the baby. The hood unfolds almost to the very bumper, even in the horizontal position of the back, so it will perfectly cover the child from wind and sunlight.

Wheels at a carriage rubber, with a diameter of 16 centimeters. The rear are paired for greater stability and have a brake pedal, the front ones are swivel with the possibility of fixing straight. In general, they drive well both on a flat road and on small bumps and pits, they cope well with snow and mud, worse with curbs and wet snow that has turned into porridge.

Along with the stroller you get a rain cover and a cup holder, but not very convenient, as it is attached too low. There is also a shopping basket that can hold up to 3 kg and is accessible from all sides. There are a large number of colors to choose from for every taste - more restrained or bright. To sum up, Inglesina turned out to be a good model, albeit with some shortcomings, which, however, you can turn a blind eye to if you find a stroller on sale at a discount.
