The summer comes, and it’s time to go on leave! We all throw off warm and heavy clothes! Of course, we want the lightness and compactness in everything, including all things and accessories, so that nothing can hinder our movements.
Travelling with small children, we usually meet certain difficulties. How to fit the pile of children’s clothes in a single trunk? Is seems that everything is necessary, but the amount of things we want to take with us is too huge. However, the most essential thing for the baby is the walking stroller, as this is its main means of transportation. After all, the child can’t withstand the heavy loads on the way. He can’t walk for a long time; he’ll want to rest or sleep… Another advantage of the lightweight stroller is that you can put your stuff, hang the packages on its handles so that your hands are free. You won’t have to carry everything. It is much better to roll the carriage…
It’s time to choose the light and compact stroller for your child! Of course, we want it to have everything for the baby’s comfort. But at the same time it must be very compact.
All the lightweight strollers are divided according to the ways of their folding. The classic way is “cane”. Such stroller is compact lengthwise and resembles the cane. Another way is the folding “as a book”, i.e., in two. There are many other complicated folding systems. The manufacturers concoct differently to show the inventiveness of engineer’s mind in different ways of stroller folding.
