Strollers from Germany
The fact that the Germans are sensitive to quality, even jokes compose. But actually this is not at all funny. When it comes to the comfort and safety of a child, many parents are confidently choosing German brand products. The loudest names among them are: Teutonia, Concord, I'coo, Hesba, Recaro.
In reviews of German wheelchairs, the owners note that the product meets expectations and a rather high cost. Among the shortcomings, insufficiently insulated covers are often mentioned, which is clearly not enough for the Russian winter. At the same time, many praise the reliability of the chassis, powerful wheels, and excellent cushioning.
As an example, consider the Concord Neo model. This is a reliable good pram, reviews of it indicate that the model is thought out to the smallest detail.
The basic set includes many accessories, and the buyer chooses the package at his discretion. If desired, you can purchase any branded special stages.
The stroller is built on a steel frame with a telescopic handle and two pairs of wheels. Owners note that thanks to the unusual design, the model looks powerful, but completely not bulky.
The seat is spacious, the child in a warm winter overalls fits perfectly in it, which is very important.
In stores in the Russian Federation, a Concord Neo stroller costs from 30 to 65 thousand rubles for a walking option and a set of 3 in 1, respectively.
Originally from Sweden
Emmaljunga has a strong international leadership position. This Swedish company produces reliable children's transport with increased comfort, which in reviews is often called cross-country. Distinctive features of all brand products: style, a kind of classic design, high stability and cross-country ability. It is worth noting that these strollers are considered one of the heaviest, which is often mentioned in reviews.
Strollers 2 in 1 from this manufacturer, despite the rather high price, have gained popularity in our country. For example, the model Emmaljunga Edge Duo Combi in retail stores will cost an average of 60 thousand rubles. The manufacturer also provided for the possibility of installing a car seat, for which you need adapters.
Made in the UK
For several generations, the Windsor spent part of his childhood in transport from Silver Cross. Could a product have a better advertisement than family snapshots of monarchs?
In the lineup of the company there is transport for different tastes. For example, Balmoral is a huge luxury coach. With such a stroller, Kate Middleton appeared at the most significant events of the Crown. Among the owners of this transport are many Hollywood stars, politicians, businessmen.
But in RuNet there are a lot of negative reviews about this model. They say that the stroller is heavy, bulky, does not fit into the elevator, it is difficult to turn around on flights of stairs. You should not be surprised at this, because the model is not positioned as a universal urban transport. Rather, it is intended for residents of suburban residences and royal palaces. This is partly due to the huge price of this status and even pathos thing. Official dealers ask for an average of 190,000 rubles for such a stroller.
The manufacturer offers many excellent solutions for the modern city. Modular Surf, Pioneer and Sleepover are popular; light “walks” of Reflex, Zest, Pop and Avia, as well as a model for weather or twins Wave.

US products
Oddly enough, most American brands (such as Graco) maintain a loyal price level.
4Moms products are a bit expensive. It is impossible not to mention the brand new unique Origami stroller, which is equipped with an electronic display with a pedometer and a special device that converts the kinetic energy of the rotation of the wheels into electric. The battery is enough not only for the flashlight to work on the front wheels, the display and the automatic folding mechanism, but also for charging the smartphone.
Orbit Baby is a truly iconic children's transport. This is not exactly a stroller, it is a travel system built on a reliable three- or four-wheeled chassis (O2 and G3, respectively).
The stroller is equipped with a unique platform that rotates 360 degrees with the seat and the child. Height adjustment is also provided. The cradle, car seat or walking block can be installed on the frame. The stroller will cost 70,000 rubles.
Italian quality and style
The names Peg Perego, Chicco, Inglesina, CAM are well familiar to many young parents. Reviews on prams from these manufacturers are quite unanimous.
It is worth noting that, according to many consumers, the products from Peg Perego, Inglesina and CAM are similar to each other. In the catalogs of companies you can find transport for every taste: from comfortable strollers-cradles and classic walking canes to innovative modular systems in high-tech style .
Chicco moved the plants to China several years ago, which helped lower prices. But since then, mixed reviews have begun to appear about baby strollers of this brand, in which owners complain about the quality.
Spain
The Spanish brand Jane has long been in great demand among Russian mothers. Most models can be attributed to the upper boundary of the middle price segment.
A few years ago, the Mima brand began a confident advancement to success. The most popular products are Xari modular strollers (pictured) and Kobi.
In the reviews, parents praise the design, magnificent eco-leather covers, ease of use. Patency can not be called excellent, but for an ordinary city and walks in the park it is enough.
The average price tag: from 45 000 rubles.
Products of Polish brands
It is difficult to name a country that could compete with China and Poland in the number of manufacturers of children's vehicles. But if until recently, Polish manufacturers made the main bet on the countries of the post-Soviet camp, today they are confidently entering European markets.
In Russia, the most common strollers are from Tako, Anex (pictured above), Verdi, Adamex, among which there are both classic transformers and modular models.
In reviews of Verdi prams, parents praise the excellent cross-country ability, quality of fabrics, a wide selection of colors, non-fading covers and a huge range. Tako attracts with a price that justifies 100%. These strollers are comfortable for our winters. In reviews of Adamex prams, you can read a lot of laudatory words regarding the reliability of nodes, wear resistance, ease of use. There is no need to talk about the unique style, all Polish strollers are made according to similar schemes. This is a budget transport with a very attractive price of 10,000 rubles.
Anex, until recently, was not much different from peers. Now the company is collaborating with European experts, so that new products compare favorably with other Polish-made strollers. True, this exclusive series is several thousand more expensive than its analogues.
Popular children's transport from China
In the early 2000s, the Chinese company Geoby held the lion's share of the Russian children's goods market. Low prices, a huge model range, focus on the Russian consumer, the lack of competitors in the segment - all this led to the popularity of the company's products. Today, when there are more new manufacturers in the Middle Kingdom from year to year, Geoby pumps the style and is seriously working on quality. The company's products are still impossible to put on a par with wheelchairs from Europe and the United States, but for their money it is quite a worthy product. Buyers, judging by the reviews, are still attracted by the choice of models, the availability of accessories (which until recently there were almost none), good wear resistance.
BabySing is confidently breaking into the market, releasing products unexpected for China, such as a modular model with a 360-degree swivel chair.
True, in the reviews of Baby Sing prams, many note that they definitely need style. Some of the company's products are very reminiscent of the famous European strollers, which makes them look like fakes.
By the way, this move is characteristic of all of China. For example, Dsland is almost identical to Stokke Xplory. And replicas of Yoyo are simply impossible to count and list. (By the way, reviews about Chinese-made Yoya strollers are also pretty good, but the owners are unanimous that the original replicas are much inferior).
But today, the trend is gradually decreasing. First, the demand for overt fakes is declining. Secondly, there are frequent problems with copyrights and patents, which hit not only the wallet, but also the reputation of the manufacturer. Thirdly, the development of our own recognizable and high-quality products always brings good results.
At first glance, it may seem that such a variety of children's vehicles is only confusing and confusing. But in fact, it gives every family the opportunity to choose their ideal stroller, which will delight and help.
