Some parents believe that things with a special purpose are much more functional than universal options. This is not to say that in our country, cradles are very common, but they also have a lot of fans. As a rule, they choose such models for the sake of comfort, high cross-country ability, ease of operation.
The benefits of cradles
Owners of such strollers prefer to purchase several models that meet the needs of a growing child. Having rolled back a comfortable but bulky cradle up to about seven months, they strive to acquire a more compact, maneuverable and easy walking model, in which the young passenger will not only sleep, but also watch the world around him.
This is not to say that the choice is very large. But some models managed to prove themselves well and gain a lot of fans. And although today most parents prefer 2-in-1 and 3-in-1 options, carrycots are also in demand.
Before the purchase
The vast majority of such strollers are built on an X-shaped chassis (although there are exceptions). Manufacturers equip such vehicles with powerful wheels. The cradles are spacious and have a very high-quality natural finish, because unlike universal options, this category of transport is primarily designed for newborns.
When choosing a model, pay attention to dimensions and weight, especially when it comes to a cradle for twins. Be sure to measure the width of the elevator, doors, balcony block in advance. If you plan to sometimes carry a stroller in a car, it makes sense to ask if the folded chassis fits in the trunk. By the way, many modern manufacturers develop cradles in such a way that they can be installed in the car with the help of belts and used for safe transportation of the baby. If the cradle does not have a rigid frame or cannot be fixed with straps, you will also need a car seat.
Let's look at some popular stroller models designed for babies from birth. We hope our small selection will help you make the right choice.
CAM Linea Classy Tris
This cradle was loved by many young parents thanks to a rather spacious sleeping place (80 x 38). The model has an average weight for its category - 15.1 kg. All covers are removable, which makes maintenance very easy.
In reviews, owners often mention good cross. This is due to the stable design, as well as inflatable wheels.
The handle has a curved shape, and with the help of convenient buttons it can be adjusted in height. This makes it easier for parents of different height to manage.
The design of the stroller is traditional for Italian children's transport. The style is closer to classical than to sports.
The bag is included in the package, and there is a rising screen on the cradle case. A handle is built into the hood that can be used for carrying.
Reviews rarely mention model flaws. But some owners complain that the folding and folding of the hood is accompanied by not very pleasant sounds. Over time, some began to creak springs. Not everyone likes an open basket with low sides, but it is rather a matter of taste, not a drawback.
Bebecar Stylo AT
For many years already, many parents have called this model the best cradle for babies. It is not only very stable, but also maneuverable, and not every model of this design can boast of this.
The frame is a development of Bebikar. Its main feature is that the front axle with wheels rotates, which greatly facilitates control.
The owners claim that the wheels are worthy of all praise. They are quite large and reliable.
This model is easily recognized among many analogues. She really has her own style, which for many is also very important. The manufacturer pampers fans and colors of textiles, annually offering new series. Another distinguishing feature of this transport is the relatively small width of the chassis - only 53 cm. In this case, the cradle is quite roomy (75 x 35 cm). It is also important that the cradle is located high above the ground. Many parents, describing their transport, say that this model looks compact from the outside, and spacious inside.
The main drawback is usually called the weight of 16.7 kg. True, the same reviews indicate that it does not interfere with management. The carriage can be called real all-terrain vehicles, but those who live on the upper floors of houses without an elevator should count on strength.
Peg-perego culla auto
Many owners note that the Velo chassis on which the model is built is perfect for a modern young family who loves to walk not only in a comfortable city. Passability along the paths of the park, wet snow, puddles, mud and even sand is excellent.
It is worth adding some numbers to supplement the review of the cradle from this Italian brand. The weight of the chassis with a cradle and a bag (empty) is 15.5 kg. The internal dimensions of the berth are 77 x 37 cm. The basket is quite deep, but not very high.
Many owners note that, like most strollers from this manufacturer, Culla Auto looks very stylish. It is perfect for both a boy and a girl, especially since most of the colors are neutral.
Among the shortcomings are the absence of a hood and a windproof canopy, as well as mediocre shock absorbers.
Inglesina vittoria
This model has been in the ranking of cradles for more than one year, which, according to parents, can be called the best of the best.
The manufacturer did his best, the stroller is thought out to the smallest detail. Many convenient pockets and thoughtful little things make walking comfortable. Everything you need is always at hand. Attracts parents and relatively low weight (14.9 kg).
The stroller is built on an aluminum chassis. The wheels are equipped with good shock absorption and reliable brakes.
Recently, buyers have been given the opportunity to choose not only the option with textile covers. Of course, the eco-leather stroller will cost a little more, but it also looks luxurious, and it is very easy to take care of it. This material protects against cold winds, but does not soar in the heat at all.
The cradle's dimensions are average: 78 x 37 cm. But judging by the reviews, many children are placed in it even at the age of seven months.
Among the shortcomings of the model, an unregulated handle and the absence of a shopping basket as standard are usually mentioned.
Another point seems uncomfortable to some. Carrying handles are also hidden in the side pockets of the cradle, but in fact this is completely inconvenient. If you remove the cradle with the baby from the chassis, the center of gravity moves under the hood, to the child’s head. It is very difficult to carry the cradle.
Inglesina Domino Twin
Another model from the same brand is very popular among twin parents. The Domino Twin cradle is a convenient and fairly compact transport in which the cradles are located one after another.
The assembly model weighs 25 kg, with 15 kg on the chassis and 5 more per cradle. Blocks can be installed in different positions: with a hood to yourself, to the road or opposite each other. The backs in the cradles rise, which is very convenient when the kids have already learned to sit.
You can also install branded walking blocks or car seats on the frame, which are purchased separately.
Valco Baby Snap Duo
In this model, the cradles are located nearby. Handles are built into the hoods, which can come in handy when carrying.
In the reviews, parents say that all strollers for twins are difficult to transport, climb to the floor and descend, "Snap" is no exception. But walking with this stroller is very convenient.
It is important that each of the cradles weighs only 3 kg.
Navington Galeon and Navington Caravel
Navington brand belongs to the Polish company Deltim, which is one of the largest manufacturers of children's products in Europe.
Galeon and Caravel baby carriages are very popular in our country due to their decent quality at a relatively low price. In the reviews, the owners say that they were satisfied with the purchase. Parents also like the most delicate interior upholstery, as well as the bright outer covers. By the way, both strollers are available in eco-leather.
Models are similar to each other, but each has distinctive features.
Galeon is slightly lighter (15.5 kg). The package includes a mosquito, bag and rain cover.
Caravel has a movable front axle, which significantly increases maneuverability. The weight of this model is more (17.5 kg).
Contradictory reviews about the ride. Some owners mention that nodes and moving joints begin to creak over time.
Both models provide a backrest lift. But many parents write that this moment is not well thought out, the lack of intermediate provisions creates inconvenience.
A spacious berth, good shock absorbers, spacious luggage baskets and voluminous hoods receive good responses.
Inglesina classica
This magnificent comfortable cradle for newborns is often called the most elegant and stylish baby transport. It stands out among analogues, it is impossible to confuse it with any other model.
First of all, as you might guess, the reviews talk about beauty. For lovers of cozy retro this is a real find. Every year the company releases new releases of the model, so in the shops and in the secondary market you can find this stroller in different versions. Judging by the reviews, eco-leather covers are most practical, but velor is rather capricious. There is also a fully textile design. In all collections, the handle is trimmed with genuine leather.
On the hood, curtains of the finest cambric are installed, which create a feeling of comfort and protect the baby from prying eyes. And this stroller, judging by the reviews, is attractive. Many parents write that passers-by asked about children's transport more than once, they were interested in the name of the model, its price and characteristics.
But according to many parents, in Russian realities with such a carriage is not easy. Luxurious white wheels gather dust and change color, and they are not designed for off-road use. Reviews about the noise during the ride are contradictory: he bothered some parents, and someone claims that he was not at all. However, the chassis needs regular lubrication, and it is advisable to put rubber gaskets under the basket.
As for the comfort of the baby, everything is on top here. Highly located spacious cradle is upholstered inside with a delicate fabric, the back can be lifted. With careful use, the stroller will serve more than one generation of small passengers.
You can buy a walking block for this model, but most owners agree that this is completely impractical. The weight of the cradle reaches 19 kg, so when the baby is older, it is better to get a lightweight stroller.
