Chicco Snappy Stroller – Deluxe… The perfect stroller for the Travel Season

The Travel Season is in full swing and for parents who are travelling with babies it can be extra challenging. With some advance pre-planning and the suitable travel related products, parents can tackle travelling with confidence. While your full size pushchair is appropriate for your everyday needs, investing in a compact and lightweight stroller for travelling both locally and abroad can be worth its weight in gold when you are faced with limited space, limited weight allowance and only so many hands.

When shopping for a travel stroller, you will want to select one that is lightweight, narrow in width, easy to fold and carry, and compact enough to fit into tight spaces. Due to the fact that travel strollers are smaller in size and lightweight, they will have less features than your full size stroller, but still perfectly functional for your holiday.

Introducing the Chicco Snappy Stroller – Deluxe

Weighing in at just 5.7kg, the Deluxe edition of the snappy stroller is designed for more demanding parents. It is stylish and refined with outstanding attention to detail. Suitable from 6 months to 15kgs maximum weight, approximately 3 years of age.

Additional features:

  • The seat sides are made from ultra-breathable mesh fabric
  • The seat has an exclusive round safety buckle
  • A double sided seat pad that is cool in summer and warm in winter
  • A handy shoulder strap for carrying when travelling

Our tester in our mum panel had the opportunity to test the stroller with her 6 month year old son. “Overall the stroller is extremely lightweight yet still pretty sturdy when you push it and my son seemed very comfortable in it. Perfect for quick errands in the car or via public transport and especially well suited for travelling both locally and abroad.”

The seat back reclines to 45 degree which is a rare feature in a travel stroller. The seat has an exclusive and stylish round safety buckle to the 5 point harness, which is well designed and ensures that your little one still stay safely buckled in when you are on the move.

 

 

 

The sun canopy offers some protection against the elements but a wide brimmed hat is still a necessity. When the seat back is reclined, air can circulate through the stroller on a warm day allowing baby to stay cool.

 

The seat sides are made from a special ultra-breathable mesh fabric to guarantee maximum comfort.

 

 

 

 

The Snappy Deluxe comes with an exclusive double-sided seat pad: Spring side with a cool breathable fabric and autumn side with a warm and soft fleece fabric.

 

The double sided cool and warm material seat pad is great especially here in the UK where the weather is so unpredictable!

 

 

 

 

 

The Snappy Deluxe is so easy to carry over your shoulder (handy shoulder carry strap), making it perfect for travelling or short walks

 

Folded Dimension : 22 x 32 x112 cm

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The rain cover (included) fully covers the entire stroller protecting baby from the rain and elements.

 

 

 

 

 

The Snappy Deluxe Stroller from Chicco is a wonderful choice for frequent travellers and will make travelling with your baby an absolute pleasure.

We would like to see the 2013 Edition of the Snappy Deluxe include a mesh basket for storage of baby/mum essentials which comes standard with the basic edition of the Snappy.

Silver Cross Pop Filigree

Silver Cross Pop Ellipse

Silver Cross Pop Dandelion

 

The Silver Cross Pop is an umbrella type stroller and a wonderful alternative to the bulky, full size strollers on the market. With the travel season in full swing, consider the Pop for vacation travel. The Pop is available in a range of stylish, modern prints and colours to suit every parents and baby. The Pop is very easy to set up. Simply follow the pictorial directions for guidance. The high quality of the stroller is apparent from the initial set up. The handlebars, which are an important feature of a stroller are designed with mum and dads comfort in mind. The stroller seat pad is plush and comfy for baby as well as easy to clean. In terms of operating the stroller, seat and footrests recline easily. The stroller folds down smoothly and swiftly.

We have chosen to highlight our favourite features of the Pop Stroller through the following images provided to us by our fantastic tester in our exclusive mummy panel.

FEATURES:

  • Multi position seat recline

 

 

 

The Pop’s multi position seat recline is a big plus and is often only found on full size stroller.

 

 

 

 

 

 

  • Compact fold – Folded Dimensions:
    L105cm W28cm H27cm

 

  • Hood with UPF50+ sun protection and pull out sun visor

The hood provides good coverage against the sun and the pull out visor is especially handy on sunny days to provide additional protection.

 

 

  • Hood viewing window

The viewing window in the stroller is a nice size to keep an eye on the baby.

 

 

  • Silent seat recline

 

The seat is spacious and there is plenty of leg room for baby. Like most umbrella style stroller, the mesh basket is difficult to access when the seat is fully reclined.

 

 

  • One hand recline and fold

The pop’s one handed recline is a terrific feature. The pop folds very easily using just one foot on the lever and the motion of pushing forward results in the pop locking automatically.

  • Puncture free tyres


What’s Included:

* Rain cover
* Shopping basket will fit a small handbag and some basic accessories.

 


* The Shoulder carry strap and carry handle are wonderful for transporting the stroller.

Also included is a generously sized cup holder which will ensure that parents stay hydrated while on the go. We love that Silver Cross has included this accessory!

 

Caution: Tipping Hazard

Like all umbrella strollers, care must be taken when attaching a changing bag to the stroller due to the tipping hazard. Consider purchasing the Buggy Organiser (see below) as an alternative to hanging the changing bag from the stroller for additional storage options and place any heavier items in the shopping basket below.

Optional Accessories:

Buggy Organiser

We highly recommend the organiser which is specifically designed for the stroller. The Organiser can accommodate a bottle, nappies, a change of clothes for baby, wallet and keys. This will allow mum to have all the basic essentials readily available.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 
Buggy Sail

Protect your baby from the sun, wind and other elements with the well designed Buggy Sail.

A matching footmuff is available separately for purchase for £35 for the colder months. We would like to see this footmuff be included with the Pop for the 2013 edition.

ROAD TEST

Up until now, our tester had been solely using a Quinny Buzz to take her baby on walks around the city and to run errands with. With the arrival of summer, the tester wanted to downscale and find a lighter and more compact alternative to the Quinny. Enter the Silver Cross Pop, the perfect alternative to a bulky, heavy stroller.

“I used the pop in a shopping mall this weekend and it was very easy to push. It is narrow enough so I don’t get stuck getting through doors and shopping aisles as I do with my other pram. My son was comfortable and content in the stroller. On the days that I use public transport, the pop performs beautifully and is a breeze to get in and out of the bus or tube. The pop is a lovely stroller for shopping and running errands about town and fits compactly in our car. The pop is the perfect compliment to our full size stroller and we are excited to use it for our summer holidays.”
