Product review: Safety 1st travel system (stroller + baby capsule)
This is the Safety 1st stroller with a $30 stand clipped onto the back for the 2nd older child to stand on.
I just took this for its first spin round the block and I like it.
Pros:
- At 7kg it weighs less than half of the Mountain Buggy
- It is easy to adjust – you just press buttons on either side of the stroller to pull the bassinet part out, reverse it or angle it.
- You can swap the bassinet over with the matching car baby capsule without waking the baby!
- It packs up pretty easily and is easy to chuck in the car
- While it has 4 wheels for extra stability, it manoeuvres like a 3 wheeler…. which means it passes the supermarket aisle test.
- You can adjust the height of the handle (in case you and your wife/partner are different heights)
- The pneumatic (pump up) tyres make it a smooth ride but also able to go off road a bit.
Cons:
The bassinet doesn’t lie flat so I don’t reckon it would be that great for getting a child younger than 18 months to sleep (notwithstanding that for the first 6 months the child will be in the baby capsule rather than the bassinet).
Getting yourself a bicycle trailer is a great idea if you have a baby because a bicycle trailer can serve
many functions. On the other hand, should you intend
to make use of the stroller not just whenever you go jogging, you should
decide to get a Kelty Jogging Stroller that
offers that option. This co-sleeper is unusual in that it rests on top of the family bed.
Can you please let me understand exactly what brand and model stroller your kids are modeling in the picture? I will certainly be having my second youngster early next year and my daughter stills have to be monitored while walking. Thank you!
It’s a Safety 1st stroller. A stand will go on the back of most strollers and they retail for about $30-$100.
