Adamex strollers: a variety of designs and their characteristics
The stroller is the first and very important transport of the baby. High-quality and multifunctional design is ready to serve correctly and regularly from the birth of a child and up to three years. These are the strollers offered by the Polish manufacturer of products for children Adamex.
Special features
Adamex strollers produce a large brand from Poland, which began its existence in 1993. For the past 25 years, the company with enviable regularity releases new and updated improved versions of vehicles for kids.
All products of the company comply with European technical standards, and also have quality marks from Poland and Russia. Independent experts and parents compare Adamex products with well-known companies from Germany. Perhaps, therefore, its popularity is growing and has long been beyond the borders of Poland and neighboring countries.
Today the brand represents:
- strollers "classic";
- models with modular units;
- transforming carriages;
- models of the category "walk";
- car seats
Classic models are familiar to each aluminum frame and chassis with large wheels suitable for Russian roads. The cradle, the block walk and the baby carrier, included in the “classics” kit, are made in a stylish modern design that meets the needs of the most captious parents.
Modular strollers allow you to position the walking unit and the cradle on a modern frame with swivel wheels of different diameters.
The transforming carriage represents one of the first carriages released by the company. This is a universal device in which the base is easily modified from a recumbent position to a sitting position. It mainly distinguishes a transformer from modular carriages with removable blocks. Despite controversial opinions about this design, Adamex transformer strollers have been popular for many years.
The strollers of the brand have low weight and sufficient functionality. Having in its arsenal a walking block with an adjustable position of the back, in a carriage weighing only 6.5 kg, the baby can sleep and be awake in comfort, and the mother can enjoy ease while riding.
It should be noted that each model released by the company pleasantly surprises consumers, having such advantages as:
- Easy operation. As a rule, all modern models are fully automated, and one click allows you to change the module, adjust the backrest, the handle, etc.
- Noiselessness - A special mechanism in a protective visor allows you to avoid the very "click", because of which kids often wake up.
- Modern stylish look due to the use in the models not only durable and aesthetic fabrics, but also finishes from eco-leather.
- Full staffing - regardless of the model, any stroller has a rain cover, a mosquito net (sometimes two: for two modules), a bag for the mother, a bottom basket for toys or purchases, and other accessories.
- Safety walking blocks, equipped with three- and five-point seat belts.
The lineup
As mentioned earlier, all the strollers in the company are divided into several categories. The first collection is represented by models on a classic chrome frame. Today they are quite popular and belong to the retro strollers. Carefully examining the demand in the market for products for babies, Adamex specialists often carry out one model of the stroller, both on a classic frame and using front swivel wheels.
Classics can be estimated in models:
- Royal;
- Katrina;
- Marcello;
- Barletta Retro;
- "Sofia".
Of the above wheelchairs, the models “Marcello”, “Barletta”, “Sofia” are also released on swivel wheels.
However, we’ll dwell on the classics, because more and more often young mothers consider such a frame an uncomfortable remnant of the past, forgetting about its essential advantages.
Advantages of the classic chrome frame:
- High cross on the road. The wheels of the same size and width of the front and rear axle proved to be good when driving along forest paths, winter snowdrifts and spring off-road.
- Convenience of raising the stroller along the ramps. Despite the construction of special tracks for wheelchairs, many shops and entrances are still equipped with only metal ruts-rails. Swivel front wheels for such designs are small in width of the chassis and they have to be lifted upon arrival, while the classic frame clearly and easily fits into the slots.
- One of the softest depreciation even when driving on bumpy roads.
One of the first models released in the “Classic” series is the “Royal” stroller 2 in 1 and 3 in 1, complemented by a car seat. Since the stroller can be considered a pioneer, it combines both advantages and significant drawbacks.
Advantages of the model:
- release of model on 12 and 14 inch wheels;
- excellent depreciation and other of the above advantages of a classic frame on inflatable wheels;
- installation of a cradle and the walking block "from" and "to mother";
- finishing pens eco-leather stroller;
- the presence of useful accessories such as a bag, mosquito net, rain cover, leg covers;
- headrest adjustment in the cradle;
- durable fabric;
- wide cradle;
- democratic value.
In addition, the stroller looks stylish and very modern, because the designers offered up to 15 different colors. Monochrome pink, cocoa tones and milky shades are harmonious in a palette with two-color models for girls, boys and unisex.
Disadvantages of "Royal":
- The lack of ventilation holes on the cradle and the walking block is the main and significant drawback, especially if the model is to be used in the summer. Dense fabric will not allow air to circulate freely, which means that the child will be hot.
- Headrest adjustment in the cradle is only possible from the inside.
- Weight 17.7 kg, which is equivalent to the average weight of the transformer stroller.
Based on the subjective judgments of users, Royal has quite tight mechanisms, as well as a narrow walking block. Yet despite the release of new and improved models, this classic model still remains competitive and of interest to consumers.
The stroller “Katrina” is another representative of the classic series. Produced in the most delicate colors, it fits perfectly into the concept of "Retro". Also, in addition to durable modern textiles, the models use the original looped fabric “flax”, which gives the stroller even more color.
Advantages of Katrina:
- robust classic frame;
- pastel shades and floral photoprints;
- spacious cradle;
- big ventilating compartment of a cradle and walking block;
- mosquito net, made in the form of retro-curtains;
- the ability to install "to the mother" and "from the mother";
- grade 2 in 1 and 3 in 1;
- walking block with leather inset at the legs for easy cleaning;
- the presence of a warm coupling for the hands of mom and dad.
As you can see, “Katrina” is a modern model in which developers managed to take into account many nuances. However, the model did not avoid some drawbacks. So, the classic frame significantly affects the total weight of the stroller, which is 17.7 kg. In addition, the orientation of the model on pastel colors made it not very practical, especially if we talk about pleasure blocks with white leather inserts made of leather.
"Adamex Marcello" - one of the latest multifunctional models released on the classic frame. Despite the heavy chassis, the stroller can be considered lightweight, because its weight is 15.3 kg. Among the fundamental differences stand out:
- the presence in the cradle of the coconut mattress, proven as the best execution of a bed for a child;
- changing table in the form of a waterproof mattress;
- bag for mom, made in the style of a modern backpack;
- bottle holder;
- car seat with the ability to install not only on the stroller, but also on the base of isofix.
New improvements in the model complemented by stylish colors. The two main tones here are bordered with bright contrasts. Most colors are unisex-oriented.
"Barletta Retro" is, according to many, the best of all modifications of the model "Barletta". Lightweight body here is successfully combined with a stable and soft frame, and the basic shades of dark gray, melange and white complement the model, thought out to the smallest detail.
It is worth noting that for lovers of bright decisions, “Barletta Retro” can be made in monochromatic orange or orange-black versions.
Looking for one of the most spacious and soft wheelchairs for your child, you should pay attention to “Sofia” in the “Classic” series. Her cradle exceeds the size of many, characterized by the parameters:
- length - 89 cm;
- width - 42 cm;
- depth - 21 cm.
A more common version of wheelchairs are modular or universal models on the chassis with swivel front wheels.
Advantages of the design:
- lightweight body;
- high maneuverability;
- one-handed control;
- the presence of a stopper to bring the front wheels in a locked position.
At the same time, for many, turning wheels become the main drawback when driving on bumpy roads. Even small irregularities of the road surface cause the wheels to move, becoming a reason for a forced stop. Nevertheless, riding through the city streets with similar lightweight models gives parents a real pleasure.
Opens a wide range of universal wheelchairs "Adamex Mars". Appearing on the Russian market more than 7 years ago, it immediately earned the love of consumers. Often, it was Mars that was compared with German brands.
Advantages of the model:
- grade 2 in 1 or 3 in 1;
- spacious warm cot;
- the walking block with an adjustable back and a support for legs;
- interesting design;
- the presence of a minimum set of accessories in the form of bags for mom, raincoat and mosquito nets.
Among the shortcomings can be distinguished significant weight for the stroller universal type, equal to 16.3 kg. In addition, a somewhat outdated model has a not so durable upholstery material than in modern models. "Mars" became the basis for the creation of new models.
"Adamex Nitro" took over the grace of its predecessor, while receiving an ideal weight of 15.1-15.5 kg, depending on the installed module.
Time passes, but Adamex never ceases to delight with the new versions of the first transport for kids. So, since 2015, the most popular is the model “Barletta”, presented in modifications:
- Barletta;
- Barletta New;
- Barletta deluxe;
- Barletta Rainbow Collection;
- Barletta World;
- Barletta Paris London;
- "Barletta Dream".
Each of the options equipped with a lightweight aluminum frame, weighing 6.3 kg. Weight with wheels is only 9.7 kg. This chassis is equipped with the “One Click” system, which allows to install a spacious cradle made of durable plastic or a walking block on it in one click.
All parts of the stroller look as modern and stylish as possible. For example, the rims of the wheels are trimmed with plastic, and the design of the upholstery surprises with original solutions. So, “Barletta” has in its arsenal stylish colors, while its modification “New” also has a color plastic in tone with the upholstery and leather inserts. “World”, “Paris London”, “Dream” are pleased with simple prints on the lower part of the body, and some upholstery in 50% does consist of breathable eco-leather.
Similar in functionality to the “Barletta” can be considered a universal carriage “Avila”. The difference here can be seen in the design of the upholstery, as well as the small size of the cradle equal to 84 by 35 cm.Since the range of Adamex can be found more spacious models, «Avila» is more suitable for summer walks with the baby.
2015 gave consumers another model that deserves attention. “Adamex Gloria” is a stylish vehicle, created to a greater extent for the winter time, as it has only one ventilation compartment at the cradle. At the same time in the model configuration, you can find a warm muff-mitten, created with care for parental hands.
Another stylish model on gel rubber wheels received the beautiful name "Luciano". Its main features can be considered the wide use of skin and the beauty of restrained deep shades. So, among the leather options you can find a dark gray and white leather surface that turns children's transport into a stylish piece for the most fashionable mother.
A still fresh new product that appeared on the Russian market at the end of 2017 is the “Massimo” model, presented in variations:
- "Massimo" using fabric upholstery;
- “Massimo Sport” - with eco-leather inserts;
- “Massimo Deluxe” - with upholstery 100% made of eco-leather.
Eight leather and 24 fabric colors provide a wide choice for parents. It should be noted that leather models weigh more and at a cost are in a higher price category than similar ones from fabric.
With some minor distinguishing features, the Neonex stroller with the Neonex Alfa modification was released. Its weight depending on the installed unit is 13.5 or 14.1 kg.
Innovation Neonex:
- a bag for mom with a thermocoating, allowing for some time to keep the temperature inside;
- open bottom basket.
The Aspena model, which is widely popular on the Russian market as a walking version, is a little different from the Neonex. It is often compared to “Barletta” and “Pajero” due to the additional spring block, which creates good cushioning. Unlike the previous version, the model has a ventilation compartment that occupies two sections, and therefore is well suited for the summer version.
The stylish model "Monte Carbon" and "Monte Deluxe Carbon" have already been evaluated. A double shock absorber stroller is perfect for Russian roads, allowing you to walk with your baby with special comfort. It is worth noting that they add convenience and tubeless gel wheels. An interesting feature of the same was a basket with a lid, allowing you to transport toys and shopping clean.
However, the Galactic stroller has a closed basket lid. Her ventilation windows occupy the entire hood of the cradle, which makes it indispensable for the summer and is similar to Aspena.
The years 2017-2018 have become very fruitful for the company. So, the Elsa model has become a novelty that has begun to conquer Russia. Today it is presented in shades of burgundy, green, red with bright contrasting strokes.
It differs from other Elsa models:
- comfortable grip on the cradle hood for easy movement;
- the presence of the viewing window;
- the anti-shock system for the front wheels, which, in case of an accidental collision with an obstacle, allows to absorb the shock gently without waking the child;
- comfortable brake Start-Stop system on the rear wheels;
- weight 14.2 kg.
As for the rest, Elsa represents the same convenient universal stroller on gelless tubeless wheels, which can become a favorite vehicle for a child.
It should be noted that the current model Adamex in many ways superior to its predecessors. So, the Enduro stroller on inflatable wheels has become for many a relic of the past due to such shortcomings as:
- heaviness;
- walking section and its incompleteness in relation to unfixed hood;
- blowing through.
However, some models released a few years ago are still popular. Thus, the “Galaxy” and “Galaxy deluxe” transformer with a carry-cradle, despite its impressive weight, delights consumers with space and versatility, as well as large foam wheels for the softest cushioning.
A similar model, but in a different design - “Adamex Young”. With a weight of 17 kg, it pleasantly surprises with warm and high-quality upholstery, fashionable colors and good suspension.

Tips
Tips moms and dads, as well as experts will help you choose a stroller not only for beauty and your own taste, but also for the necessary functionality.
How to choose?
The first and important stage of the purchase is the choice of frame. The classic frame on large wheels from the “Classic” series or in wheelchair-transformers is perfect for countryside with bumpy roads. Universal carriages - a good choice for citizens.
The second step - the choice of the hood and cover. Ventilation compartments that occupy the entire hood are the best summer option, while a small number of compartments and a boot that can be fastened to the top of the cradle is a warm winter variation.
Another criterion is design. Unisex or characteristic colors for a girl and a boy are a subjective decision of the parents, but psychologists recommend refraining from too bright tones.
Operating rules
Operation models from Adamex is quite simple and understandable, because all parts and designs are automated. So, in order to fold the modular stroller, it is necessary to remove the cradle or the walking unit by simultaneously pressing the two side buttons. Similarly, the frame is folded and book.
It is worth remembering that all the mechanisms should work smoothly and at the same time not be loose. Avoid jerks and sudden movements even with a new stroller.
Upholstery and the inner surface of the stroller in most versions is removable, and therefore accessible for washing. It is important to erase all parts only on a delicate mode with the addition of baby powder, thereby avoiding possible allergic reactions.
