Features wheelchairs brand Kiddy
Some parents are trying to combine the functions of recreational vehicles, cradles and car seats in one product. Such options are offered by a number of manufacturers. But any transformer, taking up less space during storage, has a significant weight, which will be a huge burden for a young woman every day. That is why the summer "walk" is often bought as a separate transport for the warm season. One of the most popular models of such wheelchairs is the German Kiddy, which meets all the basic requirements of the “walk”.
The quality of the components
The company presents two options for wheelchairs. Both models have rigid metal frames, which are designed for long-term use. The warranty on the stroller design from the manufacturer is 2 years. This official period is quite long for such goods, if we take into account their active exploitation. Wheels products made of rigid polyurethane. They have a lower permeability compared with rubber tires, especially in winter on bad roads, but this is compensated for by a long service life without breakdowns.
The Urban Star model has 4 wheels (front diameter - 14 cm, rear wheels - 18 cm), which also provide a small construction weight (about 7.5 kg). The product is designed for a child's weight up to 15 kg. The very name of the model “City Star” makes it clear that it is designed for exploring the city with even surfaces and small differences in road level (curbs).
The City'n Move model is designed on the principle of twin wheels (total number is 8), due to which it weighs up to 10 kg. It can be used to carry a total weight of up to 25 kg. This is also an urban option, as indicated by the name “City Movement”, but a more reliable design of rotational mechanisms increases the stability and throughput of the product.
Wheelchair assembly can be done at a factory in China, but it uses certified German antiallergenic materials that are absolutely safe for children and parents.
An important feature is possibility of complete removal of all fabric parts for cleaning. However, only the washing of the hood is recommended in manual mode. Other components can be washed in the car without losing color and quality. The design of the recreational box meets the requirements of European standards for supporting the baby’s spine without load.
Equipment
The lightweight version of Urban Star is offered for a period from birth to 3 years. Carry a very tiny passenger can be due to the flexible regulation of the backrest, which can be installed almost in a horizontal position. Five-point mounts provide reliable fixation, while leaving the baby's arms and legs free. The belts are equipped with two soft shoulder pads, they can be adjusted in two positions. Protection from the external environment is achieved by a four-stage hood that can completely cover the baby to protect his sleep.
Mobile hood can be raised and lowered without effort and sharp sounds.
High-quality suspension of the rear wheels and the circular rotation of the front provides maximum maneuverability of children's transport. Fixation (stop rotation or blocking) is provided through a foot brake, which can be used without the participation of hands.
The design is easily folded in 2 steps and reduces its size several times, allowing you to put it in the trunk of a car or put it behind the door in the apartment. Handles are adjustable.They can rise up to 103 cm, which will be useful for a high father, and can also be lowered, making management convenient for a brother or sister.
Product dimensions are small, which makes the stroller very compact. Mobile parents who travel frequently can appreciate this. When fully folded, the length will be 103 cm, width - 84 cm, height - 52 cm. When folded for transportation or storage, the length and height are almost halved: to 56 cm and 34 cm, respectively.
Inside the product is quite spacious, so nothing will hamper the grown-up baby:
- backrest height - 43 cm;
- distance to the adjustable footboard - 19 cm;
- seat width - 33 cm.
More solid City? Move is also made from a branded German manufacturer, combined with a 3D grid. The back and footboard are regulated in several provisions. The product can be laid out up to 170 degrees, so it is intended for children from 3 months to 4 years. The model has excellent ergonomic characteristics, which are noted by the AGR association due to the absence of improper loads on the children's spine during use.
A product is formed in the form of a cane, but its position when folded rests not only on the wheels, but also on the handles. Some parents leave feedback that soft polyurethane handrails can get dirty during storage. This disadvantage is compensated by the ease of addition and carrying by a special pen. The mechanism is also equipped with a safety lock against accidental opening.
Hood material, adjustable in frame height, completely covers the child. It is made according to the standard UV Standart 801, which eliminates the harmful effects of ultraviolet radiation. Due to the depreciation of both pairs of wheels and the rigid frame, children's transport is very stable.
Both wheelchairs come with a removable bottle container that can be installed on the right or left side. Hoods are equipped with windows through which you can watch the baby from above. A special valve closes and opens the window. Also pockets for trifles and capacious bags for purchases up to 5 kg are provided.
Separately, you can purchase a brand rain cover, a case for storing the folded mechanism, a clutch for the mother. City? Move has a chassis for installing Kiddy car seats on it, which can be used as a cradle.
