Stokke Strollers
All products of this company are distinguished by quality and safety. The main feature that indicates the Stokke family is the high seat. It allows you to clearly see the baby during a walk, communicate with him. In this case, dust and dirt will not be able to get on the child from under the wheels of a stroller or passing vehicles.
The stroller seat can be deployed against the movement, facing the parents. This is usually done with very young children. For walks with the elders, a seat is installed in the direction of travel, with the back to the parents. So children can see the world around them.
Stroller Models
The Stokke Scoot stroller is designed for walking on city streets. It is small but comfortable enough. You can carry a child in it from the first days of life. The high seat turns, the vehicle moves smoothly and smoothly. This is a relatively cheap stroller. Its price is about 55 thousand rubles.
The Stokke Xplory stroller is convenient for walking along any paths. Usually it is operated for a long time thanks to a modular system. On the chassis you can install a cradle, a stroller and even a car seat. If there are two children, then the seat for the elder will allow them to take them for a walk together.
The Stokke Crusi stroller is designed for paved streets. All Stokke products are combined with car seats, which allows you to quickly move a child from them to the car and vice versa.
Stokke trailz
Stokke Trails is available in several versions. This is a cradle in which newborns are transported, and transport for older children , designed for walking in the fresh air. There is also a 2 in 1 option combining the advantages of both.
But all models differ in common characteristics:
- they are easy to fold and unfold;
- handle height adjustable;
- the stroller can be operated with one hand;
- there is a footboard that can be adjusted;
- large hood;
- rounded forms of a carriage excluding blows about corners;
- high patency is provided by large tires that cushion on uneven surfaces;
- special suspension (shockproof design) softens possible sudden movements.
The Trailz cradle differs from the Crusi model in more powerful air-filled wheels. It is advised to use from birth to six months. Comes with a mattress.
The Stokke Trailz stroller is designed for convenient movement on any roads and paths twelve months a year. At the same time, the vagaries of the weather will not be able to spoil your walk. No wonder this transport is called an SUV for babies.
The Stokke Trailz 2-in-1 Stroller is an advanced version of the Stokke Crusi. It should be noted that this product has a fairly large demand. According to the instructions, you can use a stroller for children from six months to 4 years. But user reviews believe that it is optimal to use it from one year to one and a half years, especially for walks in the fall and winter. And in the summer, for long trips to the forest and to the river, it is indispensable. It will carry not only the child, but also the things of the parents.
The back of the stroller can be set at different angles. These are three options (sleep, rest, wakefulness) - in the case when the child is deployed facing the parents, and 2 options (rest and wakefulness) - when installing the back to them. User reviews, however, indicate that the child is in a prone position with slightly raised legs. This is due to the fact that at the bottom there is a certain depression in which the baby’s butt falls. The walking block is also adjustable. Its slope can be set in three positions: one in the direction of travel and two - against.
The safety of the child during the walk is taken care of by a five-point belt. To prevent it from rubbing, soft linings are installed on it. For newborns there is a special liner. But users say that belts could be made more authentic, because in winter they squeeze a child very much.
The protective bumper can be removed and put on a carriage. The fabric from which the accessories are made is high-quality textile that does not leak water. It can be washed and cleaned by first removing it from the stroller.
Equipment
- Walking block.
- Chassis.
- Hood.
Stroller top
The hood is deep, under it you can hide from the sun or bad weather. In order not to be hot, it has a window that can be used for ventilation or as an observation window. But many users complain that some buttons constantly fly off or do not fasten. The mosquito net is constantly on the wheelchair. In order to lower it, you only need to unzip the top with a Stokke Trailz hood.
Wheels and chassis
Customer reviews indicate that wheelchairs are beyond praise. They have a high cross, an obstacle for them will not be bumps and bumps in the tracks. This vehicle climbs curbs, steps, steps over small obstacles. In addition, the disks still do not get dirty. The high maneuverability of the stroller is ensured by a well-designed wheel system. Two of them are big. They allow you to move on any surface. Small ones help to maneuver, carry out even complex turns.
Customer reviews indicate that compared to Xplory models they lose when traveling on asphalt. And off-road, the Stokke Trailz is much better. Users note that the products move very well in the snow, do not slip, do not turn over.
The Stokke Trailz baby carriage is distinguished by the fact that on its chassis you can install a car seat of any model of this manufacturer. But if you got another seat, it does not matter - a special adapter will allow you to connect these structures.
A few years ago, the stroller had problems with the chassis. In 2014, the company recalled a model worldwide due to a malfunction. It is believed that this is already in the past. But there are complaints from users that a few months after the purchase, the wheels begin to behave autonomously: they go, they don’t go. Perhaps they came from a defective batch of Stokke Trailz strollers.
Dimensions and dimensions
The length of the chassis with the seat mounted on it is about 96 cm, the width is 62 cm, the height is 127 cm. The length of the folded chassis is 95 cm, the width is 62 cm, the height is 50 cm. Customer reviews say that the stroller is folded takes up significantly less space. But in the trunk of a small car, it is still unlikely to fit.
The Stokke Trailz chassis weighs about 10 kg, the seat - about 4 kg. This is a lot, but the dimensions of the stroller are quite impressive, so it was possible to make it easier only by lowering the level of safety and reliability. The chassis is already made of lightweight aluminum.
Wheelchair brakes
There are two of them in the Stokke Trailz model. User reviews say that they did not fix the front wheels because they did not encounter situations where they could be used.
Usually parents use a foot brake. It allows you to quickly and safely stop your Stokke Trailz stroller. User reviews consider it rather successful. It is paired, that is, after pressing the pedal, the two wheels stop simultaneously. Pressing is smooth, no jerking is felt. But to return the foot brake to its original position is not very convenient. After all, you have to do this with a toe of shoes. Buyers note that the Xplory's brake is more convenient.
Consumers noticed another advantage of the chassis of the stroller: it is convenient to swing it with one leg, sitting next to it.
Basket
The stroller, at first glance, has a small basket. But in fact, it contains a huge number of things for the child and parents, including toys, a women’s bag and groceries. They will not need to be pulled in one hand while the other pushes the stroller. Caring for the basket is convenient. It is enough just to wash, and you can use it further.
Accessories
- Coasters.
- Hooks
- Coupling.
- Envelope blanket.
Users note that it would not hurt to place a pocket somewhere in the stroller in which you can put the keys to the apartment or mobile phone.
disadvantages
The Stokke Trailz stroller also has some disadvantages. Although often these are design features incompatible with our living conditions. For example, the size of a Stokke Trailz stroller. User reviews say that it is very large. This can cause problems when using the elevator, car, doors of some buildings. At the same time, not only the wheels turned out to be large, but also the handle and the basket. User reviews note that the handle at the adjustment point hangs a bit. This is a design feature of all Stokke Trailz strollers.
Customer reviews confirm that it is impossible to adjust the design in height. Therefore, people of high stature, under 190 cm, have to cling to the wheel axle with their feet. Not comfortable with some is the way to adjust the seat position. You cannot quickly press the button, so you have to repeat the operation several more times. Users prefer the Xplory stroller system, where adjustment is done using the lever.
There are complaints about the foam cover of the stroller handle. It cracks for several months of use. Many noticed that the wheels began to creak while driving. This annoys parents and disturbs children. For some time, the lubrication of the wheels helps to solve the problem, but then they begin to creak again, as, however, with other models. Buyers note that the stroller is not cheap, so such flaws are unacceptable. Stokke Trailz, whose price is about 95 thousand rubles, is far from a budget option.
In principle, you can exchange a failed purchase for a working one. But for this you need to shoot a video in which to prove that the stroller is defective, fill out several forms in which to indicate information about the purchase, and send a statement that is considered a couple of weeks. Not all buyers go for it. Moreover, the shortcomings are mostly minor and do not prevent the wheelchair from performing its main function - to transport the child.
