Choosing a vehicle that can be entrusted to the most valuable passenger, each parent seeks not to lose. Before buying, it is important to weigh all the details and get acquainted with the reviews of the owners of the model you like.
Our article will tell you about the Inglesina Trip stroller, which has been well-deserved among young parents for more than a year.
Manufacturer History
The Italian company Inglesina was founded in 1963 by Liviano Tomazi. He was a passionate lover of racing and sports cars, and he simply adored children. The founder of the brand believed that only what was done with love and from the heart can be truly successful.
Tomazi did not lose. The first Apollo model brought fame to his company. By the way, for collectors this vintage stroller is of interest today.
Years passed, the skills of engineers and designers grew, and quality standards rose. Nowadays, the company holds a strong position in the international market of children's products, annually replenishing the line with new products. All Inglesina products are manufactured in Italy and meet strict European quality standards.
Model concept
We begin our review of Inglesina Trip with a general description. The model is positioned as an easy "walk" for the city and travel, which is convenient to fold, carry and transport.
This stroller is primarily designed for the warm season.
Chassis
The model is built on an aluminum frame, due to which it has a fairly high strength and reliability, but at the same time has a relatively low weight - only 6.6 kg. The Inglesina Trip wheels are paired, the front pair is equipped with free rotation, the rear has brakes. To facilitate driving on rough roads with poor coverage, all wheels can be locked in the “only straight” position.
The handle of the stroller is not flip; height adjustment is not provided.
The driving characteristics of the Inglesina Trip allow you to comfortably control it, avoid obstacles. On a flat surface it is an obedient maneuverable vehicle. Snow, deep mud and sand are contraindicated for this stroller, as for any other model in this class. For walks on such coatings, a stroller with large inflatable wheels is suitable.
Fabrics and materials
Inglesina Trip is considered a budget model in comparison with other products of the brand, so the quality of fabrics differs, for example, from those used for the new Quad line. But the company has always been famous for using only quality materials.
All covers are made of durable natural fabric with a small addition of synthetic fiber (to increase wear resistance). The slings of the shoulder straps are protected by soft pads to prevent rubbing.
The fabric of the outer covers is well cleaned, thanks to a special dirt-repellent impregnation. Materials are resistant to fading in the sun.
Equipment
The model has been produced for more than one year. In reviews of the first releases, it was often mentioned that the lack of a regular bumper is a serious drawback, so the manufacturer decided to understaff his brainchild with this accessory. In addition, a removable cup holder, a small mesh shopping basket, and a rain cover are included in the basic package.
The hood of the model is medium in size, for convenience it is equipped with a folding visor.
Optional accessories
The manufacturer produces a number of branded accessories that are compatible with the Inglesina Trip stroller. Owners can complement their model with a stylish removable umbrella, which will provide additional protection for the baby in the summer heat. Convenient bags for children's and parental items are in great demand. Those who decide to use this “walk” year-round will probably need a roomy insulated cloak for their legs. An insert for the smallest, duplicated with a delicate cotton fabric, increases the comfort of the child.
If you have not found the desired among the company's assortment, you can consider universal accessories from other brands. Judging by the reviews, various organizers, enlarged sun visors, inserts for babies, and rugs are suitable for this model. This chassis cannot be combined with a cradle for newborns and a car seat.
Baby comfort
Unlike the first issues, the modern model has a more comfortable back. It can be expanded almost to a horizontal position.
Adjustable and footrest. When the child is resting, you can lengthen the berth.
The hood can protect from sunlight, but it is powerless against wind, snow and rain. In bad weather, it is better to take a raincoat with you on walks.
Parental comfort
A lot of complaints are caused by the fact that the handles cannot be adjusted in height. And in comparison with other "walks", for example, with the Swift model from the same brand, Inglesina Trip has a rather large height. She can become a real favorite of tall moms and dads, but for parents of average height, pens may seem tall.
But most owners find this transport quite convenient. The viewing window in the hood allows you to unobtrusively control the baby. Parental handles are covered with foam, which prevents slipping, and also does not allow elements to become cold in the cold and heat up in the heat.
Many mothers say that the ability to completely remove the covers is very convenient. For this, even an instruction is not needed, everything happens intuitively. The whole set of covers fits easily into the drum of the washing machine, it is perfectly washed at a temperature of 30 ° C and dries quickly.
While walking, the lower crossbar does not interfere, you do not have to hit it with your feet. Access to the basket is open even with the seatback fully unfolded. The carriage can go to any elevator, thanks to the small width of the base.
Security
Independent experts testing various products have concluded that the Inglesina Trip can only be called safe if handled with care. The design is quite stable, but it is impossible to load handles with heavy bags and bags. The stroller is relatively light in weight, so there is a risk of instant tipping over.
In general, the model worked well. There are no traumatic elements in it that could harm the child. Five-point seat belts do their job perfectly. But the bumper is soft, hard would be better to protect a little fidget.
Folding and unfolding
Both arms are required to fold the Inglesina Trip stroller. In more expensive models of the brand, another mechanism has been used for a long time, allowing you to use only one hand. But the folding system itself, as the reviews claim, is simple and understandable.
Potential buyers should pay attention to the fact that when folding, the wheels go in different directions. In inclement weather, this may not be very convenient. However, the wheels are quite far from the hood when folded, they will not get it dirty.
To prevent sudden unplanned unfolding, a simple and convenient lock is provided. It is convenient to carry the stroller by the standard handle, like a suitcase.
According to reviews, the Inglesina Trip when folded is quite compact, it easily fits under a compartment shelf or in the trunk of a car. But it is impossible to carry it into the cabin as hand luggage.
Reviews
Young parents who choose this model, in most cases, are satisfied with the purchase, as mentioned in the reviews. Inglesina Trip with careful and reasonable operation will serve faithfully for more than one year. It is also important that the secondary market abounds with offers for sale. Even the stroller, which was already in use, copes with all its tasks perfectly. This suggests that the resource of this transport is designed for several years.
Judging by the reviews, the Inglesina Trip carriage cane with a bumper was liked by customers, but some prefer to replace this accessory with a more durable and hard one. Perhaps the manufacturer will take this into account when developing updates for this popular model.
Low weight pleases residents of high-rise buildings. The compact lightweight stroller can be carried along the stairs with your child. The shopping basket is small, and its carrying capacity leaves much to be desired. Nevertheless, speaking about this accessory, parents also note positive aspects. It is convenient to use the basket, and when driving it does not cling to ledges and stones, since it is located quite high.
Some owners complain about the hood. According to them, it would be more convenient if it were larger.
It is worth mentioning the wheels separately. For many strollers, they are a weak point, but in the case of this model there are not so many problems. The amortization declared by the manufacturer is present, small irregularities are not terrible. The wheels are generally quite large compared to their counterparts. Polyurethane coating provides a quiet ride. Over time, some nodes may begin to creak, but the problem is solved by lubrication.
Prices
The cost of the Inglesina Trip stroller from the collections of recent years averages 10,000 rubles. Many stores periodically hold promotions, offering buyers model accessories as a gift, discounts and other bonuses. Offers in the secondary market depend on the life of the vehicle and its condition.
