When searching for and choosing a stroller, various doubts may arise, each of a different nature, and today we want to help you resolve these doubts when choosing a stroller by talking about
ultralight strollers .
We will see specifically
what ultralight strollers are and how they are different from classic strollers.
What are ultralight strollers
As the name suggests, ultralight strollers, we are talking about very light and manageable strollers designed for greater ease and comfort of transport.
But let's see what are the specific characteristics of this stroller, how it is ultra-light and what are its advantages.
Strollers are classified as ultralight when they
weigh less than 6 kg .
With a study of materials and mechanisms, some manufacturers are able to supply ultra-light strollers weighing as much as 3.7 kg.
The very low weight of these strollers still leaves room for the comfort of our little ones who can enjoy walking and moving around in complete comfort on the seats capable of carrying children up to 3 or 4 years of age.
The versatility of ultralights doesn't end there. It seems obvious to say that they are ideal as travel strollers thanks to their very low weight, even if the weight is not the only reason why we can call them travel strollers.
In fact, an important feature of light strollers is the closure which can be of 3 different types. The type of closure is sometimes also used to classify light strollers into subgroups.
The 3 closures are:
- Book strollers
- Umbrella strollers
- Compact strollers
Book strollers
The folding strollers are equipped with a very simple and fast folding. The book closure represents the most manageable and easy to operate closure.
Ultralight folding strollers are usually also the lightest in their category.
Strollers with umbrella closure
The umbrella pushchairs fold down the length of the frame unlike the other 2 folds which fold up into 2 or 3 parts.
Just as the name suggests, the umbrella closure allows you to close the stroller in order to drastically reduce the encumbrance in terms of width, while maintaining almost its entire length.
This type of closure is the least immediate and usually represents the cheapest choice compared to the other 2 closures.
Compact strollers
Compact strollers are also called travel strollers, this precisely because of their ability to fold up and thus obtain a super small footprint.
The closure of compact strollers represents the smallest closure there is, so much so that some models are supplied with a smaller stroller bag or a small trolley.
Many compact strollers in this regard can travel by plane as hand luggage as they largely fall within the measures required by the airlines.
Finally, compact strollers are even more comfortable to carry when closed thanks to their truly minimal size.
Difference between stroller and ultralight stroller
The differences between classic strollers and ultralights are not numerically many but they really make a big difference if the use of the stroller is also intended for travel, holidays, frequent trips and trips with public transport.
They are mainly distinguished by:
- Less weight
- Smaller footprint
- Fixed seat
The seat in the ultralight strollers does not rotate and therefore remains fixed facing the street unlike the strollers of the trio, for example, which can be adjusted both facing the mother and facing the street.
Is the possibility of orienting the seat a small function that can be renounced in the face of the enormous comfort given by the small weight and minimum encumbrance?
The answer to this question varies depending on what you are looking for.
