- walking;
- 2 in 1 or 3 in 1;
- for twins.
The cane stroller is one of the lightest models that can be easily folded into an ergonomic design for transportation in the trunk or in public transport, as well as for storing at home. Its main advantage is its low weight, only 2–7 kg. The folding mechanism is activated by one or more buttons, after which it is convenient to move the stroller by the handle. The cane is suitable for transporting children from six months, as it has only a sitting position. This model often lacks shock absorption, making it a poor off-road option. It is optimal to use it in a city with equipped parks, playgrounds, shopping centers. Thanks to such a stroller, the child can rest, tired of walking, and the parent does not have to carry it in his arms.
Walking models are fairly lightweight structures on small wheels without shock absorption. They do not have a full-fledged cradle, but the backrest is transformed. Thanks to this, the child can take several positions: lying, reclining, sitting. The stroller can be folded with a book or cane, which allows you to conveniently store it at home.
Walking varieties are best for city sidewalks and landscaped areas, as they have a hard ride.
Transformers and 3 in 1 are versatile strollers that are suitable for the entire time of growing up a child. Such models can be found in the Riko store. They combine a recumbent carrycot and a stroller seating option. Modifications are made using foldable parts such as a lifting backrest, a removable bumper and an adjustable handle. Because of these features, such models are large-sized, their weight can reach 20 kg. They generally run smoothly thanks to the large inflatable wheels. In the 3-in-1 model, in addition to the cradle and the walking seat unit, there is another mode necessary for all car owners - a car seat.
Transforming models are a great way to save money and time spent choosing new vehicles as your child grows up. These strollers fold easily, making them suitable for transport.

How to choose?
Attention should be paid to the following criteria:
- comfort for both the child and the parent;
- safety;
- anatomical correctness;
- availability of additional amenities.
It is necessary to imagine where walks will most often take place - in equipped areas with a road or in nature, where there are many branches, stones and irregularities. This factor determines which wheels are preferable. Small plastic versions of walking models are suitable for asphalt, and large inflatable ones are suitable for off-road. Rough terrain also requires shock absorption to ensure a comfortable ride. The smooth and soft stroke allows babies to sleep, which is especially necessary for newborns.
The weather conditions also influence the choice. In summer, the child should be protected from heat and sunlight, as well as mosquitoes and midges. This requires visors and nets. In the cold season, the cradle should be warm enough to keep out wind and precipitation. Riko strollers are multifunctional, they have built-in devices that allow you to walk comfortably in different weather.
An important parameter is the weight of the structure. It should be sufficient to transport the child as they grow up. At the same time, parents who do not have elevators in their homes should also consider their physical abilities in order to lower and raise the stroller on their own. Riko presents models of medium size and weight. You should consider your own lifestyle.
If children of the same age or twins were born in the family, then it is better to take a tandem model. Living in urban areas, you can afford a large model, and if we are talking about frequent trips and travels, then it is better to choose folding and oversized strollers.
Before buying, you should measure the width of the elevator, entrance doors, passageways at the entrance. Compare the dimensions of the stroller and the trunk of the car in advance. It is best if the handle is transformed - lifted or extended. This will allow people of different heights to walk comfortably.
It will be useful to have a bag or pocket for personal belongings and products, reflective elements, mosquito nets and other additional accessories.
Reviews of Riko products are mostly positive. The owners like the reliability and strength of the structure, the pleasant appearance. Many people point to the agility that is achieved with the swivel front wheels. The shock absorption was very well received, thanks to which the stroller rides smoothly and does not disturb the child. The disadvantages include the weight of the structure. Riko strollers are 2 or 3-in-1 transformers, which leads to a rather large size. Not everyone seems comfortable with the backrest adjustment mechanisms and the location of the mount buttons. Some complaints arise in the case of factory defects of parts.
