When a child arrives, it is necessary to organize oneself on several fronts, including that of travel. In fact,
his first move takes place a few days after birth and he will need the right means.
For this reason you find yourself buying the
pram (carrycot), the egg (car seat) and the stroller, or…
Or you choose a Trio, which is commonly called
trio stroller or
trio pram even if it is not a correct term. In a slightly more technical way, the trios are referred to as
Trio Modular Systems .
Regardless of how it is called, the trio is a modular system that allows you to use 3 different instruments, which can be coupled to a single frame. We can define it as a 3-in-1 travel system.
How a trio is made
The trio modular system usually consists of:
- Chassis
- Newborn pram (carrycot)
- Egg for the car
- Stroller
Each brand differentiates its models with accessories that are sometimes included and sometimes separately, such as the rain cover and the
stroller bag .
Let's see a little more specifically the composition of the trio.
The frame of the trio
The
frame is the most important part of the trio , it is the structure that supports all the accessories and wheels. A resistant frame, capable of resisting over time and with good load capacity is the basis of a trio that lasts over time.
We hook all the parts of which the trio is made up to the frame for moving around and for walking, as well as carrying the stroller bag and a small storage compartment.
We can say that
the frame is the soul of the trio from when it is used with the carrycot in the first days of life, until it is used as a stroller after the little one has grown up.
The carrycot or pram
The carrycot, also known as
a pram , is one of the earliest means of transporting an infant. In fact, the carrycot
is used for the first trip or to bring the newborn from the hospital home.
Many carrycots are basically suitable for transport by car, while others require an accessory consisting of a booster seat and belts that can be purchased separately.
In addition to the first movement,
the carrycot is the perfect "walking" cradle as it is comfortable for sleeping and very protected from the air and cold for when you are outside.
The trio carrycot is suitable from around 0 to 5 months, depending on the trio model chosen and how quickly the baby grows.
The car egg
The car egg is a component of the trio with a double function. The egg
is used for traveling by car and is very convenient because it can be removed from the car without moving the baby and attaches to the chassis, ideal for when traveling by car makes you sleepy!
The
trio egg is usually suitable for the 0 - 13 KG weight range.
The stroller
The
stroller of the trio is the component that is used as soon as the child starts to grow. With the stroller you explore the world because its seat and its shape allow the little one to observe what is around well.
The strollers can have a fixed position (facing the mother or facing the street) or they can have
a variable position , i.e. you can choose whether to use it facing the mother or facing the street. Almost all
trio strollers can be oriented as desired .
We can say that the stroller is the last step of the trio, the tool that we will use from the moment our little one starts to get a little too grown up for the carrycot and the egg.
Trio strollers are usually
approved for 20/25 kg , depending on the model and can also be used from 6 months.
Thoughts on the trio
There are several trio models on the market, each with its own characteristics and accessories. Always remember that the trio is an instrument that:
-
It replaces many other tools by unifying all in one.
- The trio is an instrument that gets used a lot over time so choose a sturdy frame and a style that you really like.
-
Each model has its own peculiarities , so choose according to your needs, including territorial ones.
- Some accessories may seem superfluous and prove to be very useful later so think carefully about which accessories you want to be included , the others can be purchased separately.
If you are evaluating the purchase of a trio or the purchase of the various separate instruments, I suggest you think about this article and go and explore the notions and models available in our
section dedicated to trios .
