The choice of a stroller is a very important matter, and this process must be approached with all responsibility. The comfort of not only the child, but also of themselves depends on which model the young parents prefer - after all, it is the mother or father who will have to carry their child along not very ideal roads, so it is very important to find the optimal combination of price and quality. Today we will talk about the products of the Britax Romer brand.
A little about the manufacturer
Britax Romer is an international project that was created through the merger of two different companies. The union turned out to be so successful that today it is one of the leading manufacturers of children's goods: strollers, car seats, as well as various accessories for them. The German company Romer traces its history back to the thirties of the twentieth century. The founders of this company initially specialized in the production of prams for newborns. However, during World War II, the birth rate plummeted and the business began to decline.
Britax is originally from the UK and was formed around the same time as Römer, but specialized in car seat belts and other car accessories. By the 70s of the twentieth century, it was already a whole corporation, which had its own production facilities throughout Europe. It was around this time that Britax bought the assets of the Romer company and a trade alliance was formed, which brought a lot of benefits to both companies.
Joint experience and combined technologies have allowed to turn two separate companies into one large corporation, whose products are successfully sold all over the world. Today, under the Britax Romer brand, not only strollers are produced, but also child seats for cars and bicycles, as well as various accessories - removable covers for them, pumps for wheel inflation, seat belts, adapters - adapters for car trips and others.
Advantages and disadvantages
All wheelchairs of the described company are very maneuverable, easy to control, have a high-quality folding mechanism. All fabric parts can be unfastened and washed, which is especially pleasing to customers. Some models have the option of installing an infant carrier. All Britax Romer strollers have a backrest that can be adjusted to different angles, and in some models it can be fully reclined. The wheels are highly maneuverable, and the suspensions provide a comfortable ride in any conditions.
Britax Romer has a growing fan base of products. Its popularity is due to its versatility. So, many models have a special adapter in the kit, which turns the car seat into a full-fledged stroller. When planning your trip, all you need to do is bring this adapter and stroller chassis. Both take up little space, and installation is not time-consuming.
This design is very popular among young couples who love to travel and has received numerous positive reviews. The manufacturer gives a two-year warranty for its products.
Among the shortcomings, buyers named prices - and they are rather big for this company. Some buyers complained about the heavy weight, because some models have it over 10 kg. In addition, the equipment for certain types of strollers leaves much to be desired. The standard set of each stroller includes a mosquito net, a raincoat and a winter leg cover.
But the bag for the mom, the sleeve for the hands and the cup holder often have to be bought separately. In the company's product range, all these and other accessories are sold separately, but all this pleasure is not cheap.
Varieties
Britax has a wide range of different models of strollers in the assortment to satisfy any request or wish. The assortment includes universal strollers designed for children from the first days of life up to three years old, as well as urban variants of vehicles with which you can jog or roller-skate, and they can carry children up to four years old.
The peculiarity of urban models is that they are equipped with brake drums, with which you can adjust the speed of the wheelchair on sloping terrain.
Strollers
Britax Romer walking models are universal. They may be able to adapt to the child as they grow older. For babies, it is possible to expand the main unit to the state of a cradle. Once the child learns to sit, the stroller can be converted into a comfortable seat that can be removed from the chassis and carried into the car. Absolutely all models of this manufacturer have the ability to adjust the angle of the seat, as well as the height of the handle.
It is worth considering the main options for a walking group.
