Best 3-in-1 Strollers: With Bassinet, Seat Unit, and Car Seat

The budget stroller from the Polish company VerDi will become a reliable means of transport for walks with a baby at any time and in any weather. The manufacturer made sure that the baby was warm and cozy, and parents did not have to spend money on additional accessories. Thus, the cradle has an internal lining made of natural materials, a large hood with a mosquito net section for better air circulation in the summer and a warm cover with a wide flap that is fastened to the hood and completely closes from the weather. Moreover, the rounded bottom with runners allows you to use the cradle without a chassis, rocking the child on any surface. And the adjustable headrest will come in handy as the baby grows, when he learns to hold his head. The stroller unit is also equipped with an adjustable hood with ventilation inserts and a warm cape on the legs, and the ability to lower and raise the back and footrest allows the passenger to sit, lie in the stroller or choose a reclining position. A 5-point safety harness, a protective bumper and a groin guard will help keep your little one in check 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 a car, but also as a full replacement for a carrycot and a stroller unit. The seat is attached to the frame using adapters included in the kit, and all three units (carrycot, car seat and stroller unit) can be installed in the direction of travel or against it. Usually, a car seat offers a maximum of a carrying handle, a soft insert and a sun visor, but here, in addition to this, there is also a warm cover that will keep you warm in cold weather. Safety is ensured by adjustable 3-point belts.

It is also worth noting the generous set of additional things: together with the stroller you will receive a raincoat, a mosquito net, a spacious 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 advantage of the model is the large inflatable wheels with a diameter of 26 and 31 cm, which overcome any obstacles (within reason, of course) and are not afraid of snowdrifts and dirt, so you can ride even on bumpy terrain and uneven roads. The front wheels are swivel for better maneuverability, but when riding on slippery tiles or steps, they can be fixed in a straight position. Spring shock absorption absorbs vibrations during movement and softens shaking, it is also possible to adjust the degree of suspension stiffness depending on the road surface. Finally, pleasant additions will be the height-adjustable parent handle and folding design for easy transportation and storage.

The universal stroller from the FreeOn brand offers everything that future parents need and saves them from additional expenses on accessories. The set includes three replaceable units (stroller, carrycot and car seat), a rain cover, mosquito net, cup holder, roomy parent backpack and a standard shopping compartment - in general, everything that can be useful during everyday walks with children of different ages.

The spacious cradle for babies is equipped with a soft mattress, a warm cape with a turn-up for cold weather, a large hood with an additional section under the zipper and two large mesh inserts so that the baby does not get hot in the summer. The car seat is designed for children from 40 to 87 cm tall (that is, from the first days of life) and complies with the ECE R129 safety standard. It is fixed with a standard belt, has high side panels, 5-point belts, a carrying handle and a small hood.

The stroller unit is quite compact, lightweight, but roomy. It can be installed either facing the direction of travel or facing the parents. There are also 5-point belts, and the child's safety is ensured by a removable protective bumper. Although the hood does not go down to the bumper itself, it reliably protects from bad weather. A small mesh insert allows you to watch the baby and provides good air circulation in the summer. And the adjustment of the backrest and footrest allows you to settle in the most comfortable position: sitting, reclining or lying down.

The stroller allows for loads of up to 22 kg, which means it can be used until approximately 4 years of age. At the same time, it is not too large and is lightweight - 10 kg. The design is easy to fold like a book, which makes storage and transportation much easier.

For better maneuverability, the vehicle has large rear wheels and a pair of smaller diameter front wheels, which also rotate and, if necessary, can be locked in a straight position. In general, the wheels are not afraid of uneven roads or even suburban areas. The shock absorption smooths out jolts and shaking, thereby guaranteeing the baby a peaceful rest. And thanks to the material ( polyurethane), the wheels are not afraid of punctures and do not require maintenance. Parents, in turn, will appreciate the telescopic handle, the height of which can be adjusted to your height.

The universal stroller will be a good choice for joint family trips primarily due to its light weight - only 10 kg assembled with the stroller unit and 10.5 kg together with the carrycot. Thus, a mother can easily handle it alone: carry it into the salon of public transport, lift it up the stairs and carry it over short distances in cases where the stroller cannot pass. Despite the light weight, the frame is quite durable and allows you to use the model until the child's weight reaches 22 kg, that is, approximately up to 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 stroller can be folded in a few seconds: in this form, it is more compact, easier to store and transport in the trunk of almost any car. A useful bonus for parents who love traveling and active recreation will be 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 a Lionelo Astrid car seat, which can be installed in the car or on the frame instead of a cradle or a stroller unit. When the baby grows up, the cradle can be folded - this way it will take up much less space when stored.

Another advantage is the ability to use the stroller at any time of 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 thick cape with a high lapel and a fairly large hood. The baby will be comfortable and safe in it - in case of bad weather, he will be reliably protected from wind and precipitation. By the way, the cradle is attached to the frame using 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 baby.

The stroller unit is located slightly lower, making the stroller more stable. And this is especially important given its light weight. The side inserts protect the passenger from the wind, the hood goes down to the bumper (though only in a sitting position), and the mesh inserts improve air circulation in the summer. This unit is no less comfortable than the cradle. You can adjust the tilt of the backrest and footrest, turning the seat into a spacious sleeping place, and also install the unit in the direction of travel or against it, so that the baby can see the parents. The footrest is covered with eco-leather, which makes it easy to clean from dirt, and 5-point belts and a removable bumper with easy access to the child are responsible for safety.

The model's complete set also facilitates walks at any time of year. In addition to the accessories described above, it includes a warm footmuff for the stroller unit, as well as a raincoat and mosquito net, which are universal for both units.

Lionelo Mika is hardly designed for extreme off-road trips. More precisely, its strollers are not designed for this: they are not very large (18 and 24 cm in diameter) and, accordingly, cannot overcome serious obstacles. But for ordinary everyday walks, this is just the thing: the vehicle confidently drives on sidewalks, tiles in supermarkets and shopping centers, unpaved roads, climbs curbs and steps and, most importantly, does not disturb the child's rest thanks to the spring shock absorption. The wheels themselves are rubber, puncture-resistant and do not require maintenance. For better maneuverability, the front pair of wheels rotates 360 degrees and is locked in the straight position for riding 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 line of universal strollers. The special texture of the aluminum frame along with the winning combination of eco-leather and fabric upholstery elements create a real "wow" effect just by getting to know the model.

From a practical point of view, the stroller is also in perfect order: its ride is soft, the cradle is roomy, the car seat is seriously protected, and the seat unit is one of the best in terms of baby seating comfort. That's it in brief. Now let's go over the key features of the model in more detail.

The assembled stroller weighs just over 10 kg. The CAM Techno Soul wheelbase is represented by a front swivel pair with the ability to lock and a rear pair with a shock-absorbing system. The small size of the front wheels has a positive effect on maneuverability and controllability, but at the same time the stroller's cross-country ability on bad roads is worse.

From birth until about six months of age, a comfortable place in a spacious cradle is reserved for the child. It will not be cramped even in winter clothes. The cradle is equipped with a quick-release mount and a folding handle for carrying. Inside, it is covered with soft lining made of natural cotton, and a mattress is also included with the cradle. A car seat 0+ is installed on the same mounts in the chassis, which is equipped with a seat of a comfortable anatomical shape, a multi-position hood, seat belts and a separator for the baby's legs. Both units are subject to installation strictly facing the mother, while the walking module is easily placed on the frame both in the direction of the stroller and against it.

The CAM Techno Soul stroller is equipped with a large hood that opens up to the bumper, a backrest adjustable in four positions (lowers to an angle of up to 160°), and in case of cold weather, the baby's legs are covered with a cape with inserts made of soft twisted wool. They only regretted the mosquito net - it is not included in the standard configuration of the model. As moral compensation, a deep shopping basket and a truly huge bag for things with a changing mat are offered to go with the stroller. The "chariot" folds in two steps, taking up a minimum of space (78x60x30 cm) and easily fitting into the trunk of an average car. And more is not needed from a model that is balanced on all fronts.

The stroller of the Italian brand Peg Perego has a fairly high price tag, but at the same time it is a premium model with a stylish design, various colors to choose from, high-quality materials and a design thought out to the smallest detail for the convenience of parents and their babies.

The durable frame can withstand loads of up to 22 kg, so you can use the vehicle as long as possible. The low weight (10.7 kg), convenient folding system and stability when folded make it possible to transport the stroller in public transport or lift it up the stairs.

Rubber wheels with a diameter of 18 and 25 cm are not afraid of obstacles and potholes on the road. But the shock absorption here is quite hard, so the model is more suitable for city walks. But the control is convenient and balanced - the stroller can be pushed with one hand. The height of the parent handle is adjusted depending on the height of the "driver".

The cradle is made of durable, dense, water-repellent materials, so you definitely don’t have to worry about your baby freezing in cold weather. The hood is silently adjustable and has a pull-out visor to protect against sunlight and precipitation. The cradle comes with a warm cape with a high flap, which is attached with magnets. But the main feature of the unit is the tilt adjustment in the back and knees. This allows you to provide the baby with the most comfortable position after eating and during sleep, as well as improve blood circulation. We emphasize that an adjustable headrest is not uncommon among cradles, but a rising footrest is a rather original solution from the manufacturer. In addition, useful additions include a large mesh insert on the hood, ventilation holes on the bottom of the frame, a built-in carrying handle and a small pocket on the parent’s side.

The stroller unit offers reversible installation(in one of two directions to choose from) and is suitable for both summer heat and winter frost. The hood with an additional section under the zipper and a pull-out visor goes down to the bumper, and the mesh window improves air circulation. The extended cape covers the baby's legs and body, warming and protecting from the cold wind. Adjustable backrest and footrest allow you to take a completely horizontal position. Perhaps the only drawback is the package, on which, despite the high price, the manufacturer saved. It includes only the aforementioned cape and luggage compartment - and nothing more.

Another highlight was the car seat, to which the company paid a lot of attention. It is designed for children from 40 to 87 cm tall, is suitable for flights and is installed in the car using a standard belt or the Isofix system (the base must be purchased separately). Among the advantages of the car seat are a large hood with UPF 50+ protection and ventilation sections, the ability to adjust the height of the headrest and belts, a soft insert, a backrest that can be folded to an almost horizontal position and special supports that soften the impact in a side collision.
