Brevi strollers: advantages and review of models

The Italian company Brevi was founded in 1953. She develops and manufactures products for children - car seats, wheelchairs, highchairs, cribs and other products that contribute to the proper development of the baby. All products are developed taking into account the age categories of children, in accordance with their needs and the wishes of parents.

The products manufactured by this company, undergoes multi-stage testing and has all the necessary certificates. In addition, all products manufactured under the Brevi brand are distinguished by a thoughtful design - children's furniture and other products of this company have a streamlined shape, in which sharp corners and dangerous parts are completely absent.

In the company's assortment there are almost all types of wheelchairs: “2 in 1”, “3 in 1”, walking with a “book” or “cane” mechanism, as well as strollers for twins or pogodok. One of the features of Brevi products is that some of the models are made in several versions at once.

Thus, the buyer can choose the wheelchair he likes in the design that he likes the most. One and all strollers have belts of 3 or 5 third-party safety, and a protective fabric hood from rain and sun. Wheels can be made of high-strength plastic, or from solid rubber.

As for the colors, the choice is also extensive. Fans of pastel tones can choose either pink or blue for each sex, or a neutral beige scale. Those who prefer more practical colors can opt for neutral gray, saturated blue or dynamic red. For those who are at a loss with a choice, multi-color models are offered. Brevi tries to keep up with the times and constantly improves its products. So, relatively recently, the company began producing car seats and wheelchairs equipped with an I-Size security system.

Today the range of wheelchairs from Brevi is truly huge. Let us examine several of the most popular models.

This group of vehicles consists of the following components: a cradle carrying for babies up to six months, a walking block designed for the next stage of the baby’s life, as well as a car seat for those who already feel confidently in a sitting position. In addition, the standard set of such models, as a rule, includes a winter cover for the legs, a raincoat and a mosquito net. And, of course, do not forget about moms - for them as a gift is a bag that repeats the design of the stroller itself. Models belonging to this group are characterized by a large weight.

They can be divided by the folding method: “cane” or “book”.

• Avenue has 4 pairs of twin plastic wheels. Model weighs 15.3 kg. The seat belts are five-point, the folding mechanism is a cane.

• B-max It is folded with one hand, it has 4 points of support, holding three-point belts on the walking block.Available in various versions - "book" or "cane" in the "3 in 1" and "2 in 1" trim levels, as well as a lightweight version for walking. In the pram there is no reverse walking seat, but there is a spacious cradle with natural fabric upholstery, a small windscreen and a winter cape.
• Millestrade "3 v1" Atelier - A variety whose weight is 13.9 kg. This model, made of aluminum pipe, provides the ability to install all the parts in both directions of movement, and there is also a convenient handle that changes the height. When folded, it can stand without support. All-wheel drive is double, with locking and swiveling mechanisms installed on the front, a central brake on the rear.
• The model B-One the “cane” mechanism is made up in one movement, the wheels are dual, spring damping, three-point seat belts, dual wheels.
• 4-wheel model Crystal can also be equipped as a "3in1", "2in1" and walking option. It develops "book".

Such models come with two removable units: a cradle for the baby and a pleasure seat. Car seat in this case will have to buy separately. Such carriages are usually less expensive than the 3 in 1 option. Otherwise, they are completely identical.

• Grillo - six-wheeled, with dual front wheels model. It has 4 points of support, weighs about 8 kg, is equipped with 5-sided holding belts, folds up like a “book”, and when folded it is stable without support.
• Marathon - a version with 6 wheels on an aluminum frame, weighs 6.5 kg, front wheels are turning. The holding belts are five-point. There is a removable bumper. Comes with a cradle - carrying with reversible handle.
• Offroad has rubber inflatable wheels that provides greater throughput and justifies its name, meaning "off-road". The kit includes a cradle with reversible handle and a tilt-changing seat, a removable footboard, a rain cover and a tire pump.

Sometimes they are called "transformers." Their main difference from the two previous types is that the blocks are not removed, but are transformed, that is, the cradle for sleeping can be lengthened, and if necessary, turn into a walking chair. You can also change the position of the backrest. In Brevi models (for example, Boomerang), the backrest can be fully folded to the “prone” position, which ensures that your baby has a good sleep during a walk. A very useful feature that many transformers possess is a flip (reversible) handle. It allows you to direct the movement of the stroller both towards the sun and to the other side of the baby. In the assortment of the Brevi company there are carriages-transformers both with the “cane” mechanism, and with the “little book” mechanism. The first type includes the following models.

• B-light - a carriage - a cane with 4 pairs of twin wheels. With a weight of only 4.8 kg, it shows wonders of maneuverability.
• Marathon stroller - 4-wheel model, weight 6.5 kg. Thanks to the possibility of mounting Brevi's Smart Silverline car seat, it can be retrained into a “2 in 1” model.

• Mini large - a carriage with an aluminum frame and four dual wheels from plastic. 3.8 kg weighs, maintains loading to 15 kg.
• B-super - The eight-wheeled version, with plastic wheels and an aluminum chassis, weighs 6.6 kg.

Among the models of the second type, the following names can be listed.

• Stroller scatto - 4-wheeled carriage, weighs 6.2 kg, with five-point retaining straps and a removable bumper, folds in one motion. Aluminum chassis, plastic wheels, swivel, lockable.
• Verso- 4-wheeled model with a removable bumper and flip handle, which takes 7 positions in height. The carriage weighs 7.9 kg. All wheels are rubber, swivel, rear fixed. Has the ability to install on the car seat chassis. The support for legs adapts to the growth of the child.
• Ginger - a version with an aluminum frame of an elliptical shape and four wheels. Front wheels swivel, with brake pedal. The back unfolds to the "lying". Weight 8.2 kg.

Like any mechanism, strollers need constant care. Often in the network you can find reviews that after a short period of operation, details of the wheelchair begin to creak. Swivel wheels, which are equipped with almost all models of Brevi, do not obey and live their lives, zero depreciation, and the wheel locks do not work. This problem is solved by lubricating all parts with silicone grease. And it must be done regularly.

As for fabric covers, then, as you know, they often get dirty. As mentioned above, they are all easily removed from the body of the stroller and erased when the mode is 30 degrees.

Consumer opinion about this brand is mostly positive. All Brevi product groups are well known to the general public and in demand. This is explained primarily by their high quality, as well as a diverse range of models and, as a result, price dispersion, which allows companies to cover almost all customer segments.

In particular, a lot of positive reviews about the model Ovo. This four-wheeled carriage is available in several versions. For example, the “3 in 1” equipment provides for a car seat with an Isofix attachment system, approved by I-Size standards. In the cradle, also included in the “3 in 1” set, there can be a child up to 80 cm tall and weighing up to 13 kg. The reverse seat of the walking unit has a memory function, which greatly simplifies its locking and unlocking. Such a function is particularly popular with parents.

The carriage with a complete set of "2 in 1" can be both for one, and for two passengers. The folding mechanism is a “book”, the handle is not reversible, not adjustable in height. Spring depreciation, seat belts fasten on 5 sides.

A lot of grateful feedback from parents about the hood of Brevi wheelchairs. In almost all models, it is large enough and really protects from the sun and rain. In some models (for example, in the Grillo) in the hood there is a viewing window through which you can watch the baby in the direction of travel.

However, many mothers complain that the weight of the wheelchairs is too high - together with the walking unit, they can reach a weight of 13 kg. If you often have to lift and lower the wheelchair along the steps without an elevator, then it is very difficult to do this with such a weight. And if we add to this the weight of the baby, the burden becomes too heavy.
