Dreamer Suspension Stroller by Dreamer Design Review

alex — Wed, 04 Aug 2010 21:08:41 +0000

Dreamer Design makes jogging strollers so easy to use, you’ll want to use it even when your not jogging. Extremely well designed for jogging, they have large bicycle tires for a smooth ride, hand brake and leash for safety (as well as a foot brake for extra security). They fold quickly and easily for storage and the wheels are quick release, for those of us with small cars. The seats are comfortable for children and the firmness is adjustable to suit your child.

The best all-terrain jogging stroller we could find. Incredibly easy to push while jogging on or off road, this stroller has rear wheel suspension giving your child the smoothest ride possible. It is also very maneuverable and easy to use any time you need a stroller. The adjustable seat can be soft or firm so your child can sit or recline in comfort. It is very light weight, stable, uses 16″ bicycle wheels and folds quickly if you need to transport it.

A smart, sophisticated look for the discerning parent. The technical improvements on this stroller make it perfect for the parent who leads an active lifestyle. The handles have three height adjustments (great if one parent is much taller than the other) making it comfortable to push and the 6 inch treaded tires make it glide effortlessly.

Maclaren Mac 3 Jogging Stroller Review

alex — Wed, 04 Aug 2010 20:56:31 +0000

Maclaren started making strollers that were lightweight, sturdy and easy to fold in the 1960’s. They called them umbrella strollers because they were as easy to fold as an umbrella and almost as compact. Each year the strollers get even better with their cutting edge designs that are stylish and functional. They are easy to push, easy to carry and their rugged frames make Maclaren our favorite choice of lightweight strollers. Maclarens are all designed to be able to open and close with one hand, because “Maclaren knows that a mother only has one arm” (the other is holding her child).

Introducing the first three wheeler with all the attributes of Maclaren’s legendary buggies! Designed with proprietary technology, the new all-terrain Mac 3 is the first 3-wheeler to fold 3D-style into a light, compact package. Go anywhere – Challenge the terrain!

Key Features

Easily folds into a freestanding, compact package with carry handle
12″ Quick release pneumatic tires
Includes tire air pump
Hand brake and lockable wheels to ensure safety
Aluminum chassis
Fabric is removable and surface washable
Reclining 2 position padded seat
Reflective binding

Bertini Double Stroller Review

alex — Wed, 04 Aug 2010 20:52:17 +0000

Bertini is one of a kind. It is designed to have all the advantages of a large wheeled stroller yet with steering capability. This is especially appreciated with a double stroller. The anodized aluminum frame keeps the stroller lighter than traditional steel and pneumatic (inflatable) tires make it easier to push. An easy to use foot bar quickly adjusts from steerable to fixed-wheel for backing up or particularly rough terrain. The handle adjusts to various heights, so whoever is pushing will be able to push comfortably. When either seat back is fully reclined, the seat frame automatically creates a soft border that surrounds your child to keep him or her safely contained in the stroller. Adjustable footrest and four-wheel suspension make a particularly comfortable ride for your child. Seat faces forwards or backwards and the chassis folds easily for storage. Also includes a folding hood, cold weather boot that covers from the footrest to the seat, metal storage bin and a tire pump.

Key Features

Fabric is removable and machine washable (hood surface wash only)
4 wheel suspension for a smooth ride
Fully reclining 4 position adjustment for each seat independently
3 position footrest (same position for both passengers)
Single action dual wheel brake on wheel hub (does not dent tires)
Security bar that is adjustable & removable
Two 5-point safety harnesses
Includes removable boot for cold weather
Includes adjustable and removable hood
Includes metal storage bin under the carriage
Folds quickly and easily for compact storage
Easy spring action seat release mechanism
Optional carry cot slips inside seat (even more comfortable for a newborn)
Suitable for a newborn and older
1 year limited manufacturer’s warranty against material defects

Maclaren Global Baby Stroller Review

alex — Wed, 26 May 2010 21:34:57 +0000

The Global is the only form of transport a baby will ever need. Century, Evenflow, & Graco infant car seats fit onto the stroller making it easy to transport a sleeping baby without having to move her. By reclining the seat all the way back (it reclines further than other Maclaren strollers) and adding the snap on boot, the stroller converts into a baby pram. The Global is designed with a lightweight aluminum chassis, deluxe padded seat, head bumper pad and extendable leg rest. As the child grows out of the infant car seat, the attachment mechanism is replaced with a removable bumper bar for extra security and comfort when the child is in the stroller. Includes ergonomic foam grip handles, rain cover & shopping basket.

Car seat easily attaches and detaches without waking baby
