Some parents try to combine the functions of a pleasure vehicle, a bassinet and a car seat in one product. Such options are offered by a number of manufacturers. But any transformer, taking up less storage space, has significant weight, which will be a huge burden for a young woman every day. That is why the summer "walk" is often bought as a separate transport for the warm season. One of the most popular models of such strollers are German Kiddy, which meet all the basic requirements of "walking".
The quality of the components
The company presents two options for strollers. Both models have rigid metal frames that are built for long-term use. The manufacturer's warranty for the design of the stroller is 2 years. This official period is rather long for such goods, if we take into account their active use. The wheels are made of rigid polyurethane. They have less cross-country ability compared to rubber tires, especially in winter on bad roads, but this is compensated by a long period of operation without breakdowns.
The Urban Star model has 4 wheels (front diameter - 14 cm, rear - 18 cm), which also provide a low weight (about 7.5 kg). The product is designed for a child's weight up to 15 kg. The very name of the model "City Star" makes it clear that it is intended for walking around the city with smooth surfaces and small differences in the level of the road (curbs).
The City'n Move model is designed on the principle of twin wheels (total number - 8), due to which it weighs up to 10 kg. It can be used to carry a total weight of up to 25 kg. This is also an urban version, as indicated by the name - "City movement", but a more reliable design of rotary mechanisms increases the stability and permeability of the product.
The assembly of strollers can be carried out at a factory in China, but at the same time, certified antiallergenic German materials are used, which are absolutely safe for children and parents.
An important feature is the possibility of complete removal of all cloth parts for cleaning. In this case, only washing the hood is recommended in manual mode. The rest of the components can be machine washed without losing color and quality. The design of the walking box meets the requirements of European standards for supporting the baby's spine without load.
Equipment
The light version of Urban Star is offered for the period from birth to 3 years. It is possible to carry a very tiny passenger due to the flexible adjustment of the backrest, which can be set almost to a horizontal position. Five-point mounts provide a secure fit, while leaving your baby's arms and legs free. The straps are equipped with two soft shoulder pads and can be adjusted in two positions. Protection from the external environment is achieved by the operation of a four-stage hood, which can completely cover the baby in order to secure his sleep.
The mobile hood can be raised and lowered without effort or harsh sounds.
High-quality rear wheel suspension and circular rotation of the front wheels ensure maximum maneuverability of children's vehicles. Locking (stopping rotation or blocking) is provided through the foot brake, which can be used without hands.
The structure can be easily folded in 2 steps and reduces its dimensions several times, allowing it to be placed in the trunk of a car or placed outside the door of an apartment. The handles are adjustable. They can be raised up to 103 cm, which will be useful for a tall father, and can also be lowered, making it convenient for a brother or sister to operate.
The dimensions of the product are small, which makes the stroller very compact. This can be appreciated by mobile parents who travel frequently. When fully unfolded, the length will be 103 cm, width - 84 cm, height - 52 cm. When folded for transportation or storage, the length and height are almost halved: up to 56 cm and 34 cm, respectively.
Inside, the product is quite spacious, so nothing will hinder a grown baby:
- back height - 43 cm;
- distance to the adjustable footrest - 19 cm;
- seat width - 33 cm.
More solid City? Move is also made from the German manufacturer's proprietary material combined with a 3D mesh. The backrest and footrest are adjustable in several positions. The product can be unfolded up to 170 degrees, so it is intended for children from 3 months to 4 years old. The model has excellent ergonomic characteristics, which were noted by the AGR association due to the absence of incorrect loads on the children's spine during use.
The product is folded in the form of a cane, but its folded position rests not only on the wheels, but also on the handles. Some parents leave feedback that soft polyurethane handrails can get dirty during storage. This disadvantage is compensated by the ease of folding and carrying with a special handle. The mechanism is also equipped with a safety lock against accidental opening.
The material of the hood, adjustable in height, completely covers the child. It is made according to the UV Standard 801 standard, which excludes the harmful effects of ultraviolet radiation. Thanks to the shock absorption of both pairs of wheels and the rigid frame, the child transport is very stable.
Both strollers come with a removable bottle container that can be installed on the right or left side. The hoods are equipped with windows through which you can watch the baby from above. A special valve closes and opens the window. There are also pockets for small items and roomy bags for purchases up to 5 kg.
Separately, you can buy a branded raincoat, a cover for storing the folded mechanism, a clutch for mom. City? Move has a chassis for the Kiddy car seat, which can be used as a carrycot.
Design and price
Children's products of the Kiddy brand are famous not only for the high quality of materials, but also for a wide variety of colors. In online stores and distributors, the color palette exceeds a dozen shades. Stylish design with branded stars in the form of snowflakes will bring aesthetic pleasure to any young couple. The price of strollers on the Russian market does not exceed 15,000 rubles, but many advanced parents make direct orders from German stores via the Internet, saving up to 30% of the cost.
