The Italian company Brevi was founded in 1953. She is engaged in the development and production of goods for children - car seats, strollers, highchairs, cots and other products that contribute to the proper development of the baby. All products are designed taking into account the age categories of children, in accordance with their needs and the wishes of their parents.
Features of Brevi products
The products manufactured by this company undergo multi-stage testing and have all the necessary certificates. In addition, all products manufactured under the Brevi brand are distinguished by thoughtful design - children's furniture and other products of this company have a streamlined shape, in which sharp corners and dangerous parts are completely absent.
All locks, folding and adjusting mechanisms are reliable and safe. Therefore, it can be safely recommended for use by young children.
The assortment of the company includes almost all types of strollers: "2 in 1", "3 in 1", walking strollers with a "book" or "cane" mechanism, as well as strollers for twins or the weather. One of the features of Brevi products is that some of the models are made in several versions at once.
Thus, the buyer can choose the stroller he likes in the design that he likes the most. Without exception, all strollers have 3 or 5-way safety belts and a protective fabric hood from rain and sun. Wheels can be made of high-strength plastic or solid rubber.
As for the colors, the choice is also extensive. Lovers of pastel shades can choose both the characteristic pink or blue for each floor, and the neutral beige range. Those who prefer more practical colors can opt for neutral gray, deep blue or dynamic red. For those who find it difficult to choose, we offer multi-color models. The Brevi company tries to keep up with the times and is constantly improving its products. So, relatively recently, the company began producing car seats and strollers equipped with the I-Size security system.
This is a new word in the production of child restraints. The idea is to help parents choose the most suitable car seat for them, taking into account the age, weight and height of the child, car brand, etc. The I-Size system takes into account all parameters and helps to make the right choice.
Varieties
Today the assortment of Brevi strollers is truly huge. Let's take a look at some of the most popular models.
Strollers Brevi "3 in 1"
This group of vehicles consists of the following components: a carry cot designed for babies up to six months, a walking block designed for the next stage of a baby's life, and a car seat for those who already feel confident enough in a sitting position. In addition, the standard set of such models usually includes a winter foot cover, a raincoat and a mosquito net. And, of course, they don’t forget about mothers - a bag that repeats the design of the stroller itself is a gift for them. Models belonging to this group are characterized by a large weight.
They can be conditionally divided according to the folding method: "cane" or "book".
- Avenue has 4 pairs of twin plastic wheels. The model weighs 15.3 kg. Seat belts - five-point, folding mechanism - "cane".
- B-Max folds with one hand, has 4 points of support, holding the three-point belts on the seat unit. It is offered in various designs - "book" or "cane" in the configurations "3 in 1" and "2 in 1", as well as a light version for walking. The stroller does not have a reversible stroller seat, but there is a spacious cradle with natural fabric upholstery, a small windscreen and a winter cover.
- Millestrade "3 in1" Atelier - a variety weighing 13.9 kg. This model, made of aluminum tube, provides the ability to install all parts in both directions of travel, as well as a comfortable handle that changes the height.

Strollers Brevi "2 in 1"
Such models have two removable units in the set: a cradle for a baby and a stroller seat. In this case, the car seat will have to be purchased separately. Such strollers cost, as a rule, somewhat cheaper than the "3 in 1" option. Otherwise, they are completely identical.

- Offroad has rubber inflatable wheels, which provides great cross-country ability and justifies its name, which means "off-road". The set includes a carrycot with a rocker handle and a reclining seat, a removable footrest, a rain cover and a tire pump.
Brevi strollers
They are sometimes called "transformers". Their main difference from the two previous types is that the blocks are not removed, but transformed, that is, the cradle for sleeping can lengthen, and, if necessary, turn into a walking chair. You can also change the position of the back. In Brevi models (eg Boomerang), the backrest can be fully reclined to the “prone” position, which provides your baby with a good sleep during the walk. A very useful function that many transformers have is a rocker (reversible) handle. It allows you to direct the movement of the stroller both towards the sun and in the opposite direction from the baby. The assortment of the Brevi company includes transformer strollers with both the "cane" mechanism and the "book" mechanism. The first type includes the following models.
- B-Light - a stroller - a cane with 4 pairs of double wheels. Weighing only 4.8 kg, it exhibits miracles of maneuverability.
- Marathon Stroller - 4-wheeled model, weight 6.5 kg. Thanks to the ability to attach the Brevi Smart Silverline car seat, it can be converted into a 2-in-1 model.
- Mini Large - a stroller with an aluminum frame and four twin plastic wheels. Weighs 3.8 kg, withstands up to 15 kg.
- B-Super - the eight-wheeled version, with plastic wheels and an aluminum chassis, weighs 6.6 kg.
Among the models of the second type, the following names can be listed.
- Stroller scatto - 4-wheeled stroller, weighs 6.2 kg, with five-point retaining straps and removable bumper, folds in one movement. Aluminum chassis, plastic wheels, swivel, lockable.
- Verso- 4-wheel model with a removable bumper and a rocker handle that accepts 7 positions in height. The stroller weighs 7.9 kg. All wheels are rubber, swivel, rear are fixed. Has the ability to install on the car seat chassis. The leg rest adjusts to the child's height.
- Ginger - a version with an elliptical aluminum frame and four wheels. The front wheels are swivel, with a brake pedal. The backrest folds out to the "lying" position. Weight 8.2 kg.
Care advice
Like any mechanism, strollers need constant care. Often on the network you can find reviews that after a short time of operation, the parts of the stroller begin to creak. Swivel wheels, which are equipped with almost all Brevi models, do not obey and live their own lives, the shock absorption is zero, and the wheel locks do not work. This problem is solved by lubricating all parts with silicone grease. Moreover, this must be done regularly.
As for fabric covers, as you know, they often get dirty. As mentioned above, all of them can be easily removed from the stroller body and washed at 30 degrees.
Some enterprising parents rent a walking block for the winter and install it on a sled. This applies to models with removable wheels (eg Brevi Rider). Before sending the chassis for winter storage, they should be removed and washed so that sand and dirt do not get into the mechanism.
Reviews
Consumer opinion about this brand is mostly positive. All Brevi product groups are well known to the general public and are in demand. This is primarily due to their high quality, as well as a diverse range of models and, as a result, the range of prices, which allows the company to cover almost all customer segments.
In particular, there are a lot of positive reviews about the Ovo model. This four-wheeled stroller is available in several versions. For example, the 3-in-1 configuration includes a car seat with an Isofix fastening system approved by the I-Size standards. The carrycot, also included in the 3-in-1 set, can hold a child up to 80 cm tall and weighing up to 13 kg. The reverse seat of the walking unit has a memory function, which makes it much easier to lock and unlock. This feature is especially popular with parents.
A stroller with a 2-in-1 configuration can be for one or two passengers. The folding mechanism is a "book", the handle is not cross over, not adjustable in height. Spring cushioning, seat belts fastened on 5 sides.
A lot of grateful reviews from parents about the hood of Brevi strollers. In almost all models, it is large enough and really protects from the sun and rain. In some models (for example, in Grillo) there is an observation window in the hood through which you can observe the baby in the direction of travel.
However, many mothers complain that strollers are too heavy - together with a stroller, they can weigh up to 13 kg. If you often have to raise and lower the wheelchair up the steps without an elevator, then doing it with such a weight is very difficult. And if you add to this the weight of the baby, the burden becomes too heavy.
Some parents complain about the small footrest on strollers. Some models, for example, Hello Kitty, do not have it at all. If the child is large, it may be uncomfortable for him to sit. Therefore, when choosing, you should always pay attention to the recommended parameters.
