Features and types of wheelchairs Zekiwa

The German company Zekiwa, which originated from the carriage workshop in 1846, specializes in baby carriages. At the time of the GDR, it was the largest European factory, whose products were used by Europeans. Yes, and our grandparents tried to get imported strollers for their children. The range of the famous company even includes retro strollers, which are made by hand from wicker, but the most popular are modern Touring models.

The traditional German quality and safety of the materials from which products for children are made is confirmed by a European quality certificate DIN EN 1888, as well as a certificate of conformity in Russia. The basis is a durable steel frame, the wheels are inflatable tires, pumping which can be adjusted. Exterior coating materials have moisture-proof and windproof properties, therefore they are easy to clean.

At the base of the cradle placed environmentally friendly material made of wood or cork. The inner mattress and upholstery are made of cotton and do not cause allergies. A popular phrase from the reviews of the owners perfectly characterizes the Zekiwa stroller - “our SUV”. Such a characteristic product received for excellent ride quality and permeability on uneven surfaces. The large size of the basket and inflatable wheels are also a hallmark of this product.

However, the dimensions of the Touring are balanced for the possibility of using the elevator. Another feature of the German models is the fastening of the basket on the belts, which gives improved shock absorption during movement and does not disturb the baby’s sleep during sudden movements.

Touring strollers are presented on the Russian market in two versions.

Designed for children from birth to three years. Model "2 in 1" includes a basket with the function of the cradle and a walking unit. During discussions about the benefits of transformers and strollers "2 in 1" owners always note that transformers are convenient for storage, as they consist of one unit. For this we have to put up with a large weight of the structure, to carry with it all the component parts in any situation.

When using “2 in 1” baby transport, for example, Touring Standart, you can separately use the cradle for rocking without a chassis, change the cart to a lighter walking block, and also use the net for shopping on the chassis as a cart. In addition, this equipment allows you to turn the baby basket face-to-face, which is important when the weather worsens. When storing such shipments, modules take up more space than transformers. To reduce the volume, the manufacturer has implemented a rare option for folding carriages on the frames by folding the sides of the baby basket, which reduce it by 2 times.

Designed for babies from birth to 8 months. This classic stroller is adapted to regions with harsh weather conditions. Double-sided mattress. One side of cotton, the second insulated fleece. In addition, the sides of the bassinet are warmed, and there is also an additional visor on the hood. Unlike the Standart model, which has wheel rotation for maneuvering, the De Luxe pleasure model has rigid wheel attachments and a reinforced frame.This design is designed for increased terrain in ice, with snowdrifts or on a bad road (outside the city or in nature).

General details of the configuration for both options are:

• raincoat;
• a bag for Mother;
• cradle with mattress;
• inflatable wheels;
• shopping basket;
• mosquito net.

The Le Luxe kit is supplemented with a pump and belt spray. A Standart provides for a walking block and a cape on the legs.

The Touring line in both versions has a tested moisture barrier, which not only protects from wind and rain, but also quickly cleaned. Fresh stains are removed with a damp cloth. For the possibility of complete cleaning, complete disassembly of all fabric parts is provided, which greatly facilitates maintenance. The mechanism of the hood works silently in three modes. Attached to the buttons. At initial use, some women note tight fastening, which softens after the first 10-15 uses. A similar situation with the brake. The initial blocking is somewhat time consuming for women. Adaptation takes about two weeks.

Useful mosquito net on the back wall, facilitating the flow of air in the heat. The bag for mom includes not only small items, but also a supply of diapers or diapers. In the pockets of the cradle and carrying put small toys and bottles. The food net will hold up to 8 kg, but its location is rather low. It is necessary to take into account high obstacles so that the basket does not rub against the barrier.

Anchorages on belts, which are rightfully recognized as the most comfortable solution for babies' sleep, require adult care. In the case of a strong tilt, the belt mount will strengthen the roll. In order not to create a danger for the baby, do not bend over, holding the wheelchair by hand. Pleasure box, similar to the cradle, is set in 2 positions. The cradle can be easily removed by a rigid handle and used indoors by shaking a sleeping child.

For the Standart option, it is possible to install a specialized car seat, but it and adapters for fastening to the frame must be purchased separately. Color solutions Touring wheelchairs are presented in soft pastel colors (blue, coffee, burgundy, pistachio and combined). Both models have a classic design due to the width of the children's place and may not impress young mothers, putting creative appearance at the forefront.

The cost of Zekiwa baby strollers is quite high, as the product is made of certified and high-quality components, characterized by durability. Some of the Zekiwa transports that parents bought for the children of the Soviet Union, calling them simply “German wheelchairs”, still serve. Making a decision to purchase a Zekiwa product, it will be useful to learn the company's slogan: “All parents want the best for their child. We, too."
