The market for baby strollers is wide, so wide that it is usually difficult for a couple to choose between so many offers. Since Babies and more We try to offer readers some ideas so that parents can know what is on the market and what they should consider when looking for.
Today we are going to analyze a stroller of the Inglesina brand, the Avio Stroller, intended for babies from birth until they decide to leave. That is, a stroller forever.
The most common is that parents buy a stroller more or less large and that folds well for the baby and then, when the baby is already a year or more, they realize that the stroller is too big and heavy and that It would be better to buy one of those strollers so light and narrow, so they end up retiring the stroller that cost so much money because they simply get too big.
Well, Inglesina has created the Avio Stroller with the intention of offering a middle ground, and it has succeeded. It is a lighter and narrower stroller than many of the usual strollers and only 5 centimeters wider than the best-known strollers.
For the analysis we have had the saddle version, so we cannot talk about the carrycot or the “egg” or “maxi-cosi”, as the structure that usually serves as the stroller seat is known.
Mounting
I can not say that it is the easiest stroller to ride, because the truth is that it has cost me a bit (casserole that is one), but following the manual to the letter is achieved without too many problems. It will be that I am used to the strollers that are already mounted and for that reason it has cost me a bit (about 10 minutes I would say), however, once assembled I have thanked him for a very simple reason: mounting it you learn to disassemble it to clean it and you realize how well everything is designed to work and how well the chair fits the structure, step by step.
Maneuverability of Avio Stroller
Awesome. Of all the strollers that I have pushed in my life, which is not that there have been many, but a few, I think it is the best one. The Bugaboo Donkey that I tried in his day also got along very well, because it had very large wheels, but this one, being narrower, seems to give more play (being two different stroller concepts, of course).
The handle for the parents is attached and is quite high, so the arms almost rest on it. The wheels are large compared to other strollers and are rubber (they do not have an air chamber, but they are relatively deformable when pressed with the finger), making it more comfortable in general. Further, on the rear wheels we find internal shock absorbers (within the structure where the wheel goes), which undoubtedly help handling in general and free the baby from many shocks.
Comfort for the baby
The stroller fabric is easily cleanable because it does not allow the stain to penetrate (come on, which is quite waterproof). It seems that in summer it is cool, although it also seems that a child who sleeps in the stroller will sweat a lot, something that I cannot confirm because we have not tried it at high temperatures.
The barrier for the baby is padded, it is very pleasant to the touch and it is also very easily removed both to clean it and to put and take the child if we want.
He Avio Stroller It has three reclining positions to take the child sitting, semi-sitting or lying down. It reclines by operating a lever with one hand and the passage from one position to another is very correct (There are strollers that stay halfway on one side, but not on the other).
The hood, designed to rid the baby of the meteorological difficulties, we liked a lot, because it is large, very large, and also has a visor just in case, despite lowering it completely, some sun still comes in. It also has an area with transparent plastic so we can see our son from behind.
Avio Stroller folding
He folding is very simple. A button releases the mechanism and, pulling a handle, the stroller begins to fold. We pull the handle upwards holding the handlebar with the other hand and then we get it folded. The space it occupies is very correct. There are chairs that are narrower and larger. Let's not forget that it is a structure that is designed to house both a chair and a carrycot or a maxi-cosi.
The deployment is just as simple. A little button on the side releases the closure and when you lift the stroller it is practically completely open. A little push with the foot and the car is ready to roll.
Braking, which is gerund
The brake is on the right, it is operated very easily with the foot and not only blocks that wheel, but it blocks both. A success, no doubt.
Those details that we like so much
Finally, it only remains to comment on those details that make a car differ from others. To start, comment that carry a drink holder in the back, ideal because babies are always thirsty and water bottles usually end up in the basket or in our bag, where we always find it difficult to find them.
Also say that the buttons and mechanisms to operate work incredibly well. Do not force anything, or press to notice clicks, or manipulate strangely for something to happen. Press and point.
About the design, it is a very avant-garde, modern, beautiful, well designed stroller (I say, riding it makes you see that everything has its explanation).
Summarizing
He Inglesina Stroller Avio It is a baby carriage designed to always be used, both when they are little and when they are older. In the baby's age it is one of the smallest and most manageable strollers and in the child's time, let's say from the age of six, when they go in a car seat, it is larger than the strollers, but not much more, and continues being equally manageable.
That is precisely his strong point, the maneuverability. It can be carried with one hand, I would almost say with one finger, because it absorbs the imperfections of the street in such a way that it almost seems to float. However, as it weighs more than the strollers, there are gestures, such as climbing a sidewalk, that cost a little more.
The design is beautiful, the hood is huge and in general there is a feeling that you have a special stroller. The only paste that could be put on the chair is the fabric. Perfect to clean it if it gets stained, but something hot on contact with the children's body (Aran fell asleep a few days ago on it and got more sweaty than usual, and that is not summer).
About the price, the chair is around 400 euros. A price very consistent with what it offers, taking into account that what you buy is, in addition to a chair, a structure that can also be used with a carrycot and a "maxi-cosi".
