Kinderkraft Prime vs. Bebetto Luca. Or, alternatively, which 3in1 stroller system for tall parents?

a tall mummy • 26 Nov 2019

Hello 👋🏻,

Which stroller would you recommend? We can’t decide between the Kinderkraft Prime 3v1 and the Bebetto Luca 3v1... The main thing is, we are both tall (my partner is over 190cm), and we don’t like the prospect of having a carrycot at the knee height like what we had often experienced when we tested some strollers in the shops 😊

Thank you 🤗

Hello there!

Although the Kinderkraft Prime is lighter and more high to suit your height as well, it is also a simpler, more 'cheaply made' stroller. However, that shouldn't be an issue if you're not planning to push it overloaded stroller through a demanding terrain regularly. It is a good option for less demanding parents on a budget. Get a better car seat, though; I must advise - brands such as Maxi-Cosi/Cybex/Joie are not too expensive. I don’t recommend the cheaper, Polish car seats - the safety of your child is at stake since they don't go over the extended testing such as ADAC (just the basic one that is absolutely necessary).

Despite the robustness, I would rank the Bebetto Luca as a stroller system with lower-positioned click-on parts. Therefore, I won’t recommend it to you as you're a tall mom. As far as I noticed, this is often the reason why tall parents soon swap the Luca for something else. There are other, more suitable Bebetto strollers available. The Luca being a lower-positioned model, you should rather check those with a higher chassis - such as the Tito, the Bresso or the Murano. Each of them is a good enough stroller for its type, and they should fit your size better.

I will also mention the ABC Design Salsa 4, which I find more practical, compact, and lightweight stroller system, especially suitable for tall parents. The lower weight and a soft suspension is an essential benefit, at least for me. In a long-term run, the bulkiness and heaviness is something you want to avoid while choosing a travel system to last.

Your -very berry- Eli.

Now, this is your place to ask. I'm listening.
