- Lightweight, compact
- Lies completely flat
- Car seat can be attached (with adapters)
- Larger wheels, compared to others of this super compact type
- 3-point harness
- Doesn't sit upright
- Some could find it too narrow
This buggy is really good... It surprised me. The price - quality ratio is truly excellent. Perfect for summer, I can't really fault it. And I don't want any other... I'll keep it for the next child as well.
I have a reclinable car seat, and I am using it on this pushchair as well. What an advantage. I also can tackle some terrain, even if only occasionally. I even used it in winter 😁 Can't recommend it for wet snow, however, it gets stuck in the wheels. I didn't mind that, though 🙈
Nothing to blame it for, really. I got so used to it... I even had a sibling board on it. What surprised me here was no possibility of 3-point harness, but that's ok. And for some larger kids it could be too narrow. Mine are slim, so all was fine.
- Large rear wheels
- Extendable hood
- Long backrest (52 cm) that lays completely flat
- Large, removable basket that can be washed
- Foam wheels do take gravel inside
- The canopy creases easily
- Short leg rest, I expected a bit longer one
- Narrow backrest, I expected a wider one
- The fold tends to need two hands because it gets kind of stuck and I need the other hand to finish it
- No pocket in the canopy
- The bumper bar is not sturdy - since it's soft, it's not enough support for the child to ride without being harnessed in
I was looking for an ultracompact for my tiny apartment, for car trips and occasional short walks. This one pretty much the only one that met my requirements. Large rear wheels that can endure being pulled up a few stairs - usually, buggies of this type have much smaller wheels. An extendable canopy shades very well when my little one is napping - usually, buggies like this don't offer a canopy that opens up to the bumper bar. The "one-hand fold" takes up very little space in the car boot. And also, it has a backrest much longer than any other I checked out.
The biggest disappointment were the foam wheels since I read they should be rubber. Gravel and small stones get in the foam layer easily. Also, when the backrest is fully reclined, the center of gravity changes - moves backward, so it can happen that front wheels are a bit in the air. And lastly, I find the recline system impractical - when there's a child, you need both hands to do it.
- wheel material
- weight of the stroller
- folded doesn't take up much space in the car
- easy to push even one-handedly
- fully removable bumper bar
- adjustable leg rest
- canopy (read my review for more)
- I'd appreciate a bigger basket (Moon Jet-R handled a bigger load of shopping)
I ordered this stroller straight from Poland (since I did not find it in my country). I ordered it in the "burgundy" color. Quotation marks are there because it is not a burgundy like its picture showed at all. It's a classic red. So it pissed me off a bit at first because I liked it in the burgundy version.
At first, I was very afraid to take this stroller and walk down the street with it - no, I was not ashamed of the color 😃 I am just not used to push such a lightweight stroller, and I felt like it would fall apart immediately. After the first ride, however, I was pleasantly surprised. The stroller is perfectly maneuverable (even with one hand), and even can handle sidewalks in a worse condition. Also, it is fairly easy to get up a curb with it.
I would say, nonetheless, that it is quite a summer stroller - because a winter footmuff will probably not fit in it. By some miracle, I managed to "install" at least a spring/autumn one.
I would definitely include the adjustable footrest (3 positions), the fully removable bumper bar, the material of the wheels (hard rubber), the lie-flat backrest, and the basket that can handle quite a lot among the advantages of the Etu Plus. And yes, I stuffed the basket with 3 fully loaded plastic bags and a 3l washing machine gel bottle :-D
What I somehow cannot identify with is the canopy. Yes, it is extensible, but when I extend it fully, it is right on my daughter's face. Some could also mind the fixed, non-adjustable handlebar (so, only 1 position), but it's possible to get used to that. Personally, I have to get used to the braking with my foot, because before, I had a stroller with a brake on the handlebar.
I would add that the rain cover and a travel bag to pack and carry the stroller were included with the Etu Plus.
Despite the things that bother me, my daughter feels good in it - not once she protested while riding in it 🙂
