Chicco Trio-For-me Travel System

The Chicco Trio Travel System is perfect for those who’d like to get an all-purpose pushchair system that can be used from birth until their child’s toddler years

Chicco Trio Travel System: The Pros

This Travel System comes with so many extras that you will feel like you are getting so much value out of your money:

• Stroller
• Fleece-lined footmuff
• Changing Bag
• Chicco Auto fix Child Car Seat with base
• Carrycot
• Raincover
• sun canopy

Compared to other Travel Systems, the Trio For Me is relatively lighter and more compact.

Stroller

The Stroller is suitable from birth until 15 kg (about 3 or 4 years old) and includes a footmuff, hood and reversible seat

The stroller’s seat unit is well padded and comfortable for your little one, and it is also reversible so you can have your child facing you or towards the direction of travel. It has an adjustable leg support and and an adjustable 5 point harness with full body support.

The back rest can easily be adjusted to 4 positions smoothly even with one hand, because all it involves is pressing a button and then either pulling down or pushing up the back support.

The big, adjustable hood has a see-through part making it light and airy during hot summer days or when you’re holidaying abroad.

It’s easy to fold and unfold, and you can fold it easily even with seat on – but much easier to fold it with seat on if the seat is facing you.

Although the handle height is not adjustable, the angles of the handles can be adjusted in unique ways. The handle can be adjusted from a single handle bar to a double handle bar by removing the middle part that joins the 2 handles together. The angle of the handle bars can be adjusted to various positions, too. When folded, you can also make the length of the pushchair shorter by adjusting the length of the handlebars.

Other Pros worthy to note about the Stroller:

• Removable bumper bar
• It’s easy to push even on rougher surfaces.
• Stands upright when folded

Car Seat

The car seat is suitable from birth to 13 kg and comes with a base. It is suitable to use from birth until about 9-12 months.

The car seat is very sturdy, but the most brilliant thing about it is that it’s incredibly easy to attach and remove. It has a 3 point adjustable padded harness, a hood, and removable, washable covers.

Carrycot

The carrycot can be used from birth up until about 6 months. It makes a pram or travel system when fitted on to the chassis.

It’s got a hood with air flow opening and sun visor, front apron, fully padded inside with mattress and removable covers. There is a round disc at the bottom of the carry cot that you can use to adjust the back rest. This just gives your baby the option to slightly sit higher as they get older and older. It’s got a one piece adjustable handle, too.
Chicco Trio for Me: The Cons

Because of the many things that come with it, you can already imagine how much storage space you will need to fit all these in to your storage space or boot. Also it can be quite heavy, but as we said it’s relatively light for a travel system.

The only other fault we can say about it is that although the shopping basket is roomy, it is difficult to access because of the cross bars which act as supporting mechanism for the chassis.

Conclusion

A common let-down of travel systems is that by trying to be everything (a pram, a stroller, a car seat, etc.) they often end up being great at very little. Not so with the Trio For Me. It has successfully achieved being an all-around system that can cater perfectly to your newborn’s transporting needs up until they are old enough to outgrow it. The Trio For Me is a big hit among parents, some of whom mentioned that they have used the same pushchair for their second and even third child.

Silvercross Pop Baby Stroller

Silver Cross POP is named so because it’s designed to enable you to pop out to the shops, pop out for a quick walk in the park or pop over to your friends. It’s also perfect to take with you for those lovely weekends away or holidays abroad. It’s simple, lightweight, super easy and quick to fold, push, store and carry.

Pros
Silver Cross Pop has 4 sets of lockable, non-pneumatic swivel wheels with brakes activated by a smooth foot pedal. Because of the wheels, the Pop stroller handles well. It’s very easy to manouevre and negotiate over kerbs and around corners.

What we love most about the POP Stroller is its compact size. Weighing only 6.5 kg, it’s quite light and everything about it is easy – it’s easy to fold, unfold, recline, stow away, adjust, carry, and it’s easy to clean, too.

The seat reclines in various positions and even do this with your child on the seat.

It fits at the boot of a Clio or VW Golf.

Other Pros worthy to note:

• Ergonomic soft touch grip handles
• Retractable hood (with a handy storage pocket at the back)
• Suitable from birth to 3-4 years
• Adjustable leg rest
• One-handed adjustment system
• Adjustable cup holder

Cons

While it’s suitable for babies from birth because it can recline for more than 120 degrees, Silver Cross POP doesn’t recline for more than 150 degrees. So bear this in mind if you’re planning to get this for your newborn.

The seat can be lowered, but may cause slight difficulty for you to access the small storage basket at the bottom.

One of the downsides some parents have mentioned in group discussions is that the shopping bag of the Silver Cross POP is rather small and can hold only a few nappies and a packet of wipes. However the chassis is sturdy enough to hold a light enough shopping bag so all is not lost.

Conclusion
Silver Cross POP is a great little lightweight baby stroller handy as a second pushchair that you can use for quick strolls around town or on walks, and also makes a great holiday buggy. Its compact size is perfect for storing in your boot to keep it always at hand.

Silver Cross Linear Freeway

Just like the Silver Cross 3D Pram System, The Silver Cross Freeway Linear Pram is a stylish, versatile pushchair that easily converts from a pram to a stroller to a travel system – perfect if you want a pushchair you can use from birth well until your baby turns 3 or 4 years old.

Pros
The price includes a variety of pushchair accessories like a detachable front apron, a fleece-lined footmuff, a changing bag, etc. so you’ll feel like you’re getting so much for what you pay for.

The Freeway has 4 wheels, adjustable foot plate, an adjustable handle bar, lockable front swivel wheels, adjustable back, a reversible seat and a large storage basket at the bottom.

The changing bag is quite handy. It has plenty of nice features like separate compartments useful for separating dirty or wet stuff from the clean and dry ones, a bottle holder and changing mat.

Silver Cross Freeway is suitable from birth and has 4 sets of self-centering, lockable swivel wheels with a easy to use one-touch brake system.

Everything about it is easily adjustable – the back recline, the hood, the leg rest, the handles, and the pushchair itself can be used as a pram, a stroller or a travel system (if you buy it with the Silver Cross Ventura Car Seat).

One of its strongest points is its versatile handle, which can be adjusted from 60 cm to 100 cm – so it can cater to pushers of varying heights. This is particularly useful if say, the baby’s parents are quite tall but the babysitter or grandparents are quite short.

Because of its versatility, the Freeway Linear Pram is an all in one system you can rely on for years to come.

Other Pros of the Silver Cross Freeway worth noting:

• Multi-position recline
• Easy, one-click attachment
• Secure, four-point locking system
• Airflow hood ventilation
• Easy-fold chassis with auto lock
• Self-standing when folded
• One-step brake

Cons

Weighing at 14 kg with the seat attached to it, you can imagine how you might find it heavy to carry up and down stairs. (Or you can look at it as weight training – good for toning those arms!). Without the pram seat, the chassis is about 6.5 kg.

While the storage basket is relatively big, you can easily see from the pictures here how accessing things from it could be rather awkward, especially when the leg rest and apron are hanging down.

Its folded dimensions are around 40 x 115 x 50 cm so some people may find this rather chunky and especially heavy when folded; so take note if you are OK with this and if it can fit in your car boot and storage closet at home.

A minor flaw a couple of parents have expressed in group discussions is that you’ll need a big boot to store the entire pushchair in along with its bells and whistles.

Conclusion

The Silver Cross Freeway Linear Pram is a great choice for those who want a pushchair they can use from birth and will last well until their child’s toddler years. It’s versatile, functional and stylish. The only downsides are its weight and bulky dimensions, but if you have plenty of storage space and won’t be lugging it around much then these could pose no problem for you.
