Transformers strollers: the most compact and lightweight options

The considered type of wheelchairs is a model that can be used from birth to a child of three years. The first time they are used as a classic cradle. When a child begins to sit on his own, he absolutely does not want to lie, on the contrary, the crumbs have a great desire to observe the world around. Parents who have once bought a transformer are not required to spend money again on the purchase of a new vehicle - they just need to convert the existing cradle into a seat.

The principle of transformation is as follows: the base of the recumbent position, by simple actions, turns into a full-fledged sitting place, which is suitable for kids from the age of six months. The back of such specimens is usually fixed in several positions, which allows the child to sit seated, at a 90-degree angle, half-sitting or reclining.

Transforming strollers are quite popular due to the features of a folding design that allows you to turn a classic cradle for a newborn into a stroller. Such units have their pros and cons, which invariably reflected in consumer feedback. Positive estimates deserve the price and the ability to use during the first three, and sometimes four years of life of the baby.

The weight and compactness of transforming wheelchairs cause controversial reviews. Such a stroller, of course, cannot be folded into a bag, like some ultralight canes, but it is stable, warm and roomy. For lovers of traveling with children, the minimum weight and dimensions of the model will be fundamental. For residents of the northern regions, good capacity, stability and maneuverability, rather than a small vehicle weight, will become a more important factor.
