Which cane stroller is better to choose
Canes are not a mandatory purchase, but if you need an easy, maneuverable stroller that you can independently lift to the floor or take with you on a trip, you can’t find anything better. Here the main thing is not to chase after completely weightless models.
With a weight of less than 6 kg, a cheap, poorly designed stroller loses stability and can roll over with the child. Buying a cane heavier than 8-9 kg only makes sense as the main “transport”.
Despite the apparent identity of the models with the folding mechanism of the cane, they have their differences.
First of all, this is the maximum angle of inclination of the back:
1. 160-170 ° - the child will be able to sleep in a fully folding stroller, which means that such a cane can be used already from 6 months of age;
2. 140-150 ° - reclining position will suit babies from 9 months;
3. 90-110 ° - models without folding are bought, if the child is 1-1.5 years old, and he does not sleep on the street.
Pay attention to the total length of the back, seat and footrest. It should be sufficient for your child to stretch out to full height and sleep on the street during a walk.
The method of folding the chassis of wheelchairs from different manufacturers may also differ. It is better when all 4 wheels are near - so they do not stain the hood.
The best summer canes
The largest group of lightweight wheelchairs with small wheels and deep hoods that reliably protect the baby from the summer sun.
Easywalker Mini Buggy Plus - a super comfortable stroller for all ages
The Easywalker family of stylish walking sticks attracts with fashionable colors and excellent quality covers. The back here is decomposed by 170 ° so that a child of any age can sleep comfortably.
Included is a soft mattress plus pad-liner - for children who have not yet turned 6 months. At the same time the stroller itself is made with a good margin of safety and can withstand loads up to 20 kg.
From the previous versions of Mini Buggy, the Plus model is distinguished by the presence of a flexible bumper on the snaps. In this configuration, the cane is delivered only to Russia - on European sites, the crossbar will have to be ordered separately.

Elodie Details Stockholm (New Collection) - off-road reed
An exceptionally summer stroller without any insulants and soft inserts from the Swedish brand will also be pleased with the originality of the colors, and many of them will suit both boys and girls. But the main thing in this model is the impeccable quality of all parts and long service life.
Special attention deserve EVA-wheels. They are solid, very strong and large (as much as 18 cm in diameter). This provides the wheelchair with an enviable patency on broken asphalt or cobblestones, easy to overcome curbs. But on a smooth floor shopping center cane can slip.

Another stroller with an increased carrying capacity of 22.5 kg (with its own weight of 7.3) - this time from the manufacturer of the most reliable car seats.
In Cybex, we paid maximum attention to the comfort of the child, making an ergonomic seat and setting up a mechanism for folding the bed. To lower the backrest, just hold the central lock and gently pull it down to the desired position. It rises in the same way - with one hand.
Adjusting the seat belts migrated here from the systems for car seats, where all lines are tightened in one motion. At the same time, the Germans themselves made the straps elastic to give the child some freedom of movement.

The Chinese continue to improve their most popular model. In the latest versions, the already deep cape for the legs was even longer, ergonomic handles were made, and now they have also added the ability to completely remove the covers.

Tizo Victory - compact first cane
Thanks to the fully foldable backrest, a small pram can be used for summer walks, even with a baby who cannot sit on his own. However, already in 1.5-2 years you will have to part with it: the length of the bed is a bit short (75 cm), and even the thin frame will withstand the grown-up toddler.
