We are going to the hospital: the most unusual strollers

With a phone charger, headlights and a cashmere blanket – what surprises the manufacturers of children’s vehicles.

“Two weeks before the decree” – sounds like a song. There will be no more early rises, at least in the next two or three months, of stuffy subway cars. Know yourself, rest and get ready for the birth of a baby. But, as in any good fairy tale, there is this disgusting “but”: you need to think about the dowry for the child. “A stroller, a crib, a car seat, overalls, undershirts,” the husband lists, but I understand that we are only dreaming of peace and in two weeks the painful shopping trips will begin. And it would be fine, as during the pregnancy of my mother, there were two models of strollers: “imported” and “our”. Now the head swells from offers on any search engines. One wheel is not like that, the other has zero shock absorption, not a single stroller can do without criticism. But there were options in the vastness of the World Wide Web, as they say, without a hitch.

And this classification is not an exaggeration at all. Firstly, only very wealthy parents can afford the Silver Cross Balmoral Bespoke stroller. Secondly, this is a piece product, the circulation is a little more than 50 pieces for the entire seasonal release. What does the English brand offer for 350 thousand rubles?

Each stroller is personalized, you will receive two plates for the cradle, one of them will be engraved with your name, on the other – the serial number of the transport for the newborn. Sheep leather, chrome-plated details are used in the decoration, for the rest – a standard set: a “book” mechanism, 4 wheels, a fabric hood. There is also a shopping basket, by the way, very roomy, however, it is not clear what exactly the young mother will carry in it, who paid 350 thousand rubles for the purchase, hardly potatoes from the store around the corner.

This stroller also has one significant drawback – its weight. It is unlikely that even a very strong and trained mother will be able to drag a 37-kilogram “children’s carriage” even to the second floor.

For little James Bond and his companions

Another Silver Cross exclusive is the Surf Aston Martin Limited Edition. For the same 350 thousand rubles, you will receive an outwardly standard stroller, but with finest sheepskin trim and Alcantara (artificial suede produced by an Italian company), cashmere blanket. The frame of this stroller is made of an alloy of aluminum and magnesium, thanks to which the baby Aston Martin is light in weight, but at the same time does not lose strength. The principle of the suspension is borrowed from mountain bikes, the manufacturer promises that the shock absorption will be perfect. The rear wheels follow the design of the wheels of the famous English car.

The stroller is assembled entirely by hand. Complete with a sheepskin mattress insert, which is made by tanners in Devon. There are 600 such strollers in the world. One of them can be yours. While they are on sale in Russia.

For very sociable mothers

How much do you spend on phone calls per day? If you have to recharge your smartphone more than once a day, 4moms Origami is for you. This is not just a wheelchair, but a whole generator on wheels. It is recharged while driving. You can connect an mp3 player, smartphone, tablet to it. Also, the stroller folds automatically, intellectual protection works, that is, the transport will not gather in an accordion with a small passenger on board. 4moms Origami also has a headlamp for walking in the dark.

The miracle of technology costs about 54 thousand rubles. Despite the equipment, it weighs only 15 kilograms, has four wheels, a book mechanism, a car seat can be installed on the chassis, there are seat belts and spring cushioning. True, it is recommended to use the stroller from six months.

Putting your baby on a motorcycle early? Buy him his own iron horse in a special set for newborns. The Roddler stroller was invented by the designers of Kid Kustoms and Lacono design in 2007. Since then, the transport has changed its appearance several times. At first, it looked more like classic American cars, now only the wheel arches, made in the style of Cadillacs and Mustangs, remain of them. But there was a chassis made of aluminum sections and steel pipes. Now Roddlers are more like a powerful bike, albeit on 3 wheels.

We did not find such strollers on sale in Russia, but in America it can be ordered. The price for different models varies from 50 to 200 thousand rubles. Bonuses include smartphone charging, space for an iPod and an LCD screen. The children’s “bike” weighs about thirteen kilograms.

A stroller that looks like an egg will definitely not go unnoticed on the playground. The baby is like a chicken in her. There are no special bells and whistles for the Egg Stroller 2 in 1. Vendors praise her for her incredibly stylish design. They promise that even a large child will be comfortable in the cradle.

For 69 thousand rubles, mother and baby will receive a stroller trimmed with premium fabric, chassis of increased strength and controllability. They promise that Egg (egg – English) will pass even in the narrowest elevators, because its width is only 59 centimeters. For shopping lovers, the designers have provided a huge shopping basket, which can easily fit both outfits for mothers and babies, and diapers, and a bag with products for a family dinner.

This stroller was recommended to us by several friends at once, they say, they have not met anything more convenient for the baby. Solid pluses, the husband had already rushed with the Doona + carriage-car seat to the checkout, barely had time to stop. It’s not that I found solid disadvantages in spite of all the advisers, although they are available, but I still consider buying something very in advance for a baby a bad omen.

So, a miracle of engineering – a carriage-car seat. The infant carrier converts into a stroller with one key. In the car, it can be fastened with the Isofix base, and with the usual regular belts. The front wheels of the stroller are swivel, it is quite maneuverable. But there are several “buts”: wheels of a rather small diameter, complete lack of shock absorption, if you use Doona + in autumn or winter, there is a danger of getting dirty yourself and taking the seats in the car. If for a leather interior it is not a big problem, then for velor covers it threatens with constant dry cleaning.

Another disadvantage is weight. A stroller weighing eight kilograms is not so easy to carry up the stairs, and it is simply impossible to carry it along it. The price is not low – 24 thousand, however, a used chair in online stores is offered for 16-18 thousand, and there is a demand.

Go on a trip with your parents – with pleasure! Moreover, this pleasure is not only for a child, who will discover the world for himself practically from birth, but also for parents who do not have to lug a heavy stroller or use a cane stroller. There is a solution – a stroller-backpack. 2017 new model Omnio.

A comfortable large seat is provided for a small passenger, a backrest tilt for rest. Wheels – roller, can drive on any surface, turn from side to side. The frame is made of aluminum, the stroller can be stowed in a bag or put on as a backpack using special straps. The set includes a raincoat, a canopy with sun protection and a travel bag. Of the minuses – the high price of 19900 rubles and the inability to completely expand the walking block, the baby can only sleep in it reclining.

For very athletic parents

60 thousand rubles and a hybrid of a longboard and a stroller in your hands. It is not a block for a child that is interesting here, but a prefix for parents. You get up with one foot on the longboard, with the other you push off and go on a sports trip with your baby. True, you cannot perform any tricks on such a longboard, neither with a baby in a cradle, nor without a baby on board. The board is absolutely not intended for spectacular feints. But, believe me, the admiring glances of the owners of ordinary strollers will definitely be enough for you.

The Quinny Longboardstroller weighs eleven kilograms. Withstands an adult up to one hundred kilograms and a baby up to fifteen kilograms. The minimum age for a young passenger is one year.

Walking in the park is a surefire way to teach your toddler to love nature. When the weather does not whisper, you cannot crawl through the meadows, but you can explore the world around you from the seat of a unique wheelchair-bicycle. And such a miracle exists in nature. The Taga model is a bicycle and a stroller in one. Moreover, it turns from one state to another in just 20 seconds.

Manufacturers see solid advantages for a wheelchair bike. Firstly, it is a useful cardio load for mom, and secondly, an exciting walk with a breeze for the baby. Tired of pedaling? Once – and this is already an ordinary, quite comfortable stroller. One more “time” – and Taga has already neatly nestled in the trunk of your car.

However, a wheelchair bicycle can hardly be called light, it weighs 25 kilograms, and can withstand an adult up to 100 kilograms. The 25-inch wheels are equipped with mechanical disc brakes at the front and roller brakes at the rear. The set includes a raincoat, a mosquito net, a bell. The child can ride in the cradle sitting, reclining and lying down. For transport, you will have to pay at least XNUMX thousand rubles.

For future off-road conquerors (and their dads)

This stroller is the cherry on top of our ranking. Although it would be more correct to call it a steak on a pillow of French fries, thickly seasoned with sauce. Czech automaker Skoda has come up with a stroller for real men. In the sense, not to pack her husband in it, but to send the faithful for a walk with a common child. Although, seeing such a stroller, some men will take a walk with someone else’s baby with pleasure.

The SUV among the sidecars has headlights, hydraulic suspension, four wheels on twenty-inch disks, naturally with rubber for rough terrain. Stop lights will notify you of your stop, and you can change from lane to lane using the rear-view mirrors.

In Russia, it is not yet possible to buy such a stroller, although they say that the sophisticated transport has already been launched into mass production. By the way, my admiring husband is now actively looking for a wonderful wheelchair on the Internet. I am silently waiting, I definitely cannot lift such an SUV to the fifth floor without an elevator and put it in the trunk of my small car.
