TOP-5 3-in-1 pushchairs with carrycot, seat unit and car seat

The model of the Polish brand BROCO was created taking into account the needs of parents and their crumbs. First of all, this is a maneuverable and rather compact pushchair with a chassis width of 58 cm, which will easily fit in an elevator cabin and will not let you down in bad weather, when there is dirt and frozen snow on the roads. Of course, this is not an SUV for you, but pits and other irregularities will not become an obstacle during a walk. This is the merit of inflatable wheels and additional cushioning, which combine efforts for the sake of the child's comfort. According to the classics, the front wheels are swivel with straight fixation, a central brake is placed on the rear axle. For more convenient storage or transportation, the pushchair folds like a book.

For babies in a large set of models there is a spacious cradle with a plastic base, a soft mattress and a removable cotton upholstery inside. The hood received a visor for sunny weather and a ventilation insert for hot weather, and in cold weather, a warm cover with a high lapel will additionally cover the child from the wind and bad weather. Also, immediately after birth, you can use a car seat with a durable plastic frame, which is installed on the back seat of the car or, if necessary, attached to the frame of the pushchair. Thus, you can leave the carrycot at home and replace it with a car seat, but keep in mind that it is still not so comfortable for long walks.

When the child grows up and learns to sit on his own, the cradle is replaced by an equally comfortable walking block. Its backrest is adjustable in several positions up to the recumbent, the footboard rises, increasing the size of the bed, and the block itself allows installation both facing the parents and in the direction of travel. The hood hides an additional section with a mosquito net for better air circulation and a visor that protects from the blinding sun. In order for parents not to worry about the safety of the crumbs, a 5-point harness with soft pads and a protective bumper are provided.

Despite the modest price tag of the model, its equipment is not at all modest. Special thanks should be said for as many as three warm covers - for the cradle, car seat and walking block separately. In rainy and cold weather, you do not have to take blankets or other warm clothes with you - capes will warm the baby, will not let him get wet and are not blown. And to make it warm for mom, a warm hand muff was added to the kit. In addition, you will get a rain cover, a mosquito net, a backpack for things and a standard luggage basket for shopping or toys.

The budget pushchair of the Polish company VerDi will become a reliable vehicle for walking with a baby at any time and in any weather. The manufacturer made sure that the little one was warm and comfortable, and parents did not have to spend money on additional accessories. So, the cradle has an inner upholstery made of natural materials, a large hood with a mosquito net section for better air circulation in summer and a warm cover with a wide lapel that is fastened to the hood and completely covers from the weather. What's more, the rounded bottom with skids makes it possible to use the carrycot without a chassis, rocking the child on any surface. And the adjustable headrest will come in handy as the baby grows up, when he learns to hold his head. The pushchair unit is also equipped with an adjustable hood with ventilation inserts and a warm footmuff, and the ability to lower and raise the back and footrest allows the passenger to sit, lie in the pushchair or choose a reclining position. 5-point seat belts, a protective bumper and a groin limiter will help to keep the fidget and protect him from injury.

The car seat is designed for newborns and children weighing up to 10 kg. It can be used not only in the car, but also as a full-fledged replacement for the cradle and the walking block. The seat is attached to the frame with adapters included in the kit, and all three units (carrycot, car seat and pushchair unit) can be installed in the direction of travel or against it. Usually a car seat offers a maximum of a carrying handle, a padded insert and a sun visor, but here, in addition, there is also a warm cover that will keep you warm in cold weather. Safety is ensured by length-adjustable 3-point harnesses.

It is also worth noting a generous set of additional things: along with the pushchair you will receive a rain cover, a mosquito net, a roomy shopping compartment, a cup holder and a parent bag-backpack. With such an "arsenal" you will be ready for any weather changes and unforeseen circumstances.

Another plus of the model is the large inflatable wheels with a diameter of 26 and 31 cm, which overcome any obstacles (to the best of reason, of course) and are not afraid of snowdrifts and mud, so you can drive even on bumpy terrain and uneven roads. The front wheels swivel for better maneuverability, but can be locked in a straight position when driving on slippery tiles or steps. Spring damping absorbs vibrations during movement and softens shaking, it is also possible to adjust the degree of suspension stiffness depending on the road surface. Finally, a height-adjustable parent handle and a foldable design for easy transport and storage are nice additions.

The Carrello brand is valued among users for its ability to produce children's products with a good balance of price, quality and functionality. And the Optima pushchair is no exception. This is a versatile model that will serve you for many years, with a nice design and the capabilities of more expensive competitors. It can withstand a maximum load of 22 kg, and at the same time it is not too heavy - 12.7 kg assembled with a cradle or a walking block. Moreover, the frame quickly and easily folds with one hand in the form of a book(and together with the walking block). All this will greatly facilitate the life of the mother, because she will not need help in order to lower or raise the pushchair up the stairs or bring it into the public transport salon. When folded, the structure is stable in an upright position.

Also, for the convenience of parents, a telescopic handle is added, adjustable for any height, and a complete set of necessary accessories. A cape on your feet will warm you in winter, a raincoat and two mosquito nets at once (on the cradle and the walking block) will come in handy in summer and in bad weather, and for things and purchases there is a parent bag that can be worn on the shoulder or attached to the handle, and a spacious basket with a hard base and front and rear access. It also holds quite a lot of things - for example, bottles, diapers, favorite toys, etc.

From the first days, comfortable walks and trips with parents will be provided by the 0+ car seat, which is installed using adapters, and the cradle, which is simply attached to the frame. In the cradle, the baby will be comfortable in any weather, as it has high sides that protect from the wind, a large hood with a peak and two mesh sections at once - on the hood and at the head. They will not only improve air circulation in the heat, but also allow the child to explore the world around him when he learns to lie on his stomach and hold his head confidently. A feature of the walking block has become an adjustable footrest, which changes not only the angle of inclination, but also its length. Paired with a reclining back, they create a spacious sleeping place if the little one wants to relax while walking. True, in this form, the hood does not go down to the very bumper and will not be able to fully cover the passenger from rain, snow and wind, but a warm cape on the legs, which is included in the delivery package, will come to the rescue. In addition, the seat unit offers reversible installation and guarantees safety thanks to the 5-point harness, removable bumper bar and crotch strap.

But before buying, keep in mind that the depreciation of the model is harsh, so it is designed for smoother city roads, and not off-road. In this case, the control will not bring discomfort: large rubber wheels quickly “walk” along the steps and curbs and do not slip even in the snow. For better maneuverability and cross-country ability, the front wheels are swivel with the ability to fix them in a straight position, and the absence of a rear axle will be appreciated by tall parents - their legs will not cling while walking.

The universal pushchair will be a good choice for joint family trips, primarily due to its low weight - only 10 kg assembled with the seat unit and 10.5 kg with the cradle. Thus, mom can easily handle it alone: bring it into the public transport salon, lift it up the stairs and move it over short distances in cases where the pushchair cannot pass. Despite the light weight, the frame is quite strong and allows you to use the model until the weight of the child reaches 22 kg, that is, up to approximately 4 years of age. At the same time, the load on the shopping compartment is taken into account separately - up to 3 kg. Thus, in general, the design can withstand a maximum of 25 kg.

If necessary, the pushchair can be folded in a few seconds: in this form it is more compact, it is more convenient to store and transport it in the trunk of almost any car. A useful bonus for parents who love travel and outdoor activities is the presence of a strap for carrying the folded device on the shoulder. Of course, since this is a 3-in-1 model, the set includes the Lionelo Astrid car seat, which can be installed in the car or on the frame instead of the carrycot or seat unit. When the baby grows up, the cradle can be folded - so it takes up much less space when stored.

Another plus is the ability to use the pushchair at any time of the year. The blocks are made of high-quality, durable and wear-resistant materials that do not let water through and protect against ultraviolet radiation, as evidenced by the UPF 50+ filter. The cradle is equipped with a comfortable mattress, a dense cape with a high lapel and a fairly large hood. In it, the baby will be comfortable and safe - in case of bad weather, he will be reliably sheltered from wind and precipitation. By the way, the cradle is attached to the frame with the help of special adapters that increase its height. This is done so that parents do not have to bend down much to look at or get the crumbs.

The walking block is located slightly lower, making the pushchair more stable. And this is especially true, given its low weight. Side inserts protect the passenger from the wind, the hood descends to the bumper (albeit only in a sitting position), and mesh inserts improve air circulation in the summer. This block is no less convenient than the cradle. You can adjust the inclination of the backrest and footrest, turning the seat into a spacious sleeping place, and you can set the block in the direction of travel or against it, so that the baby can see the parents. The footrest is sheathed in eco-leather, which makes it easy to clean from dirt, and safety is provided by 5-point harnesses and a removable bumper with easy access to the child.

Facilitates walks at any time of the year and complete set of the model. In addition to the accessories described above, it includes a warm cape on the legs for the walking block, as well as a rain cover and a mosquito net, which are universal for both blocks.

Lionelo Mika is hardly designed for extreme off-road trips. More precisely, her pushchairs are not designed for this: they are not too large (18 and 24 cm in diameter) and, accordingly, cannot overcome serious obstacles. But for ordinary everyday walks, this is the very thing: transport confidently rides along sidewalks, tiles in supermarkets and shopping centers, unpaved roads, climbs curbs and steps, and, most importantly, does not disturb the child’s rest due to the work of spring depreciation. The wheels themselves are rubber, puncture resistant and maintenance free. For better maneuverability, the front pair of wheels rotates 360 degrees and locks in a straight position for driving on uneven and slippery surfaces. And for more convenient control, a height-adjustable handle is provided.

The temperamental Italian CAM Techno Soul sets the tone for the exterior of the entire detachment of universal pushchairs. The special texture of the aluminium frame, along with a winning combination of elements of eco-leather and fabric upholstery, create a real “wow” effect when you get to know the model.

On the practical side of the issue, the pushchair is also in perfect order: its ride is soft, the cradle is roomy, the car seat is seriously protected, and the walking block is one of the most advanced in terms of comfort for the baby. This is in short. And now let's go through the key features of the model in more detail.

The weight of the pushchair assembly barely exceeds 10 kg. The wheelbase of the CAM Techno Soul is represented by a front swivel pair with the possibility of fixing and a rear pair with a shock absorption system. The small size of the front wheels has a positive effect on maneuverability and handling, but this worsens the patency of the pushchair on bad roads.

From birth to about six months of age, a comfortable place in a spacious cradle is reserved for the child. It will not be crowded in it even in winter clothes. The cradle is equipped with a quick-release fastener and a foldable carrying handle. Inside, it is upholstered with soft lining made of natural cotton, and a mattress is also attached to the cradle. A 0+ car seat is installed on the same mounts in the chassis, which is armed with a comfortable anatomical seat, a multi-position hood, seat belts and a separator for the baby's legs. Both blocks must be installed purely facing the mother, while the walking module is quietly placed on the frame both in the direction of the pushchair and against it.

The “walk” at CAM Techno Soul is equipped with a large hood that opens up to the bumper, a back adjustable in four positions (it drops to an angle of up to 160 °), and in case of cold weather, the baby’s legs are covered with a cape with soft twisted wool inserts. there is no standard configuration of the model. As moral compensation, a deep shopping basket and a really huge bag for things with a changing mat are offered in pair with the pushchair. The “chariot” is folded in two steps, while taking up a minimum of space (78x60x30 cm) and easily fits into the trunk of an average car. And more from a model balanced on all fronts is not needed.
