Italian strollers: a combination of quality and practicality

In the process of preparing for the birth of a baby, parents are faced with the difficult question of choosing a high-quality and practical stroller. Russian parents often give their preference to Italian strollers, which have long taken their rightful place in the world market.

A little about brands

Most of the Italian stroller companies appeared in the last century, during the economic growth of the country.

The very first Peg-Perego company was formed in 1949. Its founder, Giuseppe Perego, began to use rubberized fabric in the production of strollers, which significantly reduced their cost and made them more accessible to the general population.
In 1953, Brevi entered the Italian market. The Brevi brothers who founded it replaced the wooden parts of cots and high chairs with metal and plastic elements. But the company has been producing strollers for babies only since 2003.

The most famous in the post-Soviet space italian company for the production of strollers Chicco appeared in 1958. In Italian it sounds "kikko", which translates as "grain", but many Russians mistakenly pronounce "chico". The strollers of this company are known all over the world.
In 1963, the Italian company Inglesina appears. Its chief designer, Leviano Tomasi, focused on large rubberized wheels and a lightweight frame. Inglesina currently produces different models of strollers for people with different financial capabilities. From budget models to limited edition products. The company even has a service for the production of personalized strollers in a single copy.

In 1969 brothers Aldo, Franco and Maria Ro Cam founded Cam. Currently, the manufacturer focuses on the high quality of its goods. And he assures that 95% of the products are made in Italy. This company pays special attention to design and even uses Swarovski crystals in the decoration of some models.

Features:

Italian strollers are made from high quality and environmentally friendly materials. They meet European quality standards and have all the necessary safety certificates. In order to meet all the modern needs of parents and their babies, Italian companies use the highest technologies in the production of strollers.

Aluminum framedespite its lightness, it is very strong and can be folded with one hand if necessary. A thermoregulation system is provided for the comfort of the child.
Another important advantage of Italian strollers is their design. Each mom will be able to choose the first children's vehicle that suits her and her baby, not only in terms of technical characteristics, but also in appearance. There are various models on the market (classic, sporty) with a wide selection of colors.
Italian manufacturers such as Peg Perego and Inglesina produce budget models for middle-income families... But, despite the rather low price (on average from 15,000 to 20,000 rubles), the quality of the goods remains at a very high level.

The lineup

For newborns

These are carrycots designed for babies from 0 to 6 months. Typically, Italian baby strollers have a tall frame and large wheels. This design is provided for the comfort of the child while walking in any kind of terrain, which is very important for the Russian buyer.

In the cradle itself there is a hard bottom, thanks to which the child's fragile back is well fixed in a horizontal position. In addition, the stroller is equipped with a comfortable mattress.

The cradle protects the baby well in the first months of life from external factors (sun, rain, snow, wind), in this regard, a comfortable stay of the child on the street is ensured.

Walking

When the child has already grown up significantly, he is not interested in lying on the street during walks and he can already sit, it is worth thinking about purchasing a stroller. The walking model is intended for children from six months. Unlike the carrycot, it has several different backrest positions: from vertical to horizontal. It is lighter and more compact, which makes it very convenient to transport.

In modern models, five-point seat belts are provided, as a result of which even the most active child will not fall out of his vehicle.

3 in 1

Strollers from Italy 3 in 1 are designed for children from 0 to three years old. Thus, parents buy one stroller for all occasions. Its package includes:

cradle for a newborn;
walking block;
car seat.

The peculiarity of the "three in one" system is that it is a universal type of baby stroller. The package includes one chassis that can be used with any of the three stroller options.

That is, if you want an option for walking, then it is enough to remove the cradle and install the walking block on the same chassis.

Parents mostly point out the only drawback of these universal strollers: it is the need for sufficient storage space for all three units.

Popular models in Russia

Strollers from Italian manufacturers have been presented on the Russian market for several years. And during this time, especially popular and beloved models and brands appeared.

The leading position in the wheelchair market in Russia is occupied by the model Peg Perego Culla-auto. The designers of this stroller took into account all the nuances and created a model that is incredibly comfortable not only for a newborn, but also for parents. Due to the thermoregulation system, the little passenger is cozy and comfortable both in summer heat and in winter bad weather. This model uses a classic chassis, and the diameter of the inflatable wheels is 35 cm, which significantly increases its cross-country ability in Russian off-road conditions.
For longer and more comfortable walks in harsh climatic conditions, a stroller is suitable Inglesina Sofia (Ergo Bike chassis). Thanks to the large inflatable wheels, the newborn will not feel all the flaws in the road surface while walking.

In addition, the carrycot has the ability to adjust the backrest position. The carrycot of this model can be used to transport a baby in a car, for this you only need to purchase a special adapter.
