Sweet peanut sniffs peacefully nearby, and it's just some kind of miracle! More recently, parents could not have imagined that a baby can bring so much happiness to their home. How to feed and bathe is already clear, now it's time to take a walk. What is necessary for comfortable walks, what features should the stroller have, so that the baby is comfortable and parents are comfortable, and is it possible to get by with one stroller, rather than purchase a whole stroller fleet? Let's get it right.
Can one stroller become a transport for the baby for 3 years in advance? Yes, if it is an Italian Peg-Perego GT3 stroller . Buyers believe that it is not only beautiful, but also convenient, practical, has excellent cross-country ability, which is very important for Russian roads.
Peg-Perego GT3 in detail
The Peg-Perego GT3 stroller appeared on the market in 2006, and even then there were practically no complaints from buyers. Since then, very minor changes to the design have been made and the color scheme has been significantly expanded. To date, the "Peg-Perego GT3" colors are selected taking into account all the wishes of users. Young mothers note that there is a wide selection of shades - from the bright red Geranium for girls to the restrained heavenly Blu for boys.
Frame
The frame of the stroller is made of lightweight aluminum and has either silver or black color (depending on the year of manufacture). The cradle for newborns and the car seat can be mounted on the frame.
Wheels
A distinctive feature of the Peg-Perego GT3 is its maneuverability and cross-country ability, which is presented by three large tubeless inflatable wheels. The front can be fixed motionless or rotate around its axis.
If the walk is planned on off-road, sand, gravel or snowy streets, then the wheel should be left in a fixed position. If the sand on the beach is too loose, and the layer of fine gravel on the playground is too thick, then you can not roll the stroller in front of you, but pull it behind you on two rear wheels. So it will take several times less effort to move.
For maneuverable driving between the shelves and rows of the shopping center or when walking in the park, the wheel can be moved to a rotating position.
In the kit there is a convenient small pump that will help pump up deflated wheels both at home and during a walk.
Shock absorbers
The wheels are equipped with excellent shock absorbers with three levels of stiffness, which even when driving on paving stones and rough terrain give a quiet sleep to the baby.
Also, thanks to shock absorbers, motion sickness becomes soft and comfortable, which users like. Rocking a child in the "Peg-Perego GT3" is possible in horizontal and vertical planes.
The brakes
The stroller "Peg-Perego GT3" has a manual dynamic brake on the handle. It allows you to instantly stop children's vehicles, even in the most extreme situations.
Traveling Newborn Cradle
Until the baby learns to sit on its own, and this happens at the age of 6-8 months, the back of the baby should be on a hard and rigid surface, in order to avoid stress on the delicate children's spine and for its proper formation. Therefore, the first 6 months of the baby must be rolled in a cradle. To do this, you need to purchase a Navetta cradle for the Peg-Perego GT3, which is very easily mounted on the chassis of the stroller. The back of the walking block can take almost horizontal position, and some mothers walk with the newborn and in the walking block. This can not be said that this is strictly prohibited, but still the cradle is safer for the baby.
A pen
The Peg-Perego GT3 stroller has a handle that is adjustable in height, which is very convenient for tall daddies and miniature moms. By lightly pressing the lock button, the handle can be raised and lowered. Moreover, parents note that this function is simply indispensable for small elevators and luggage carriers of compact cars, when it is necessary to minimize the size of the stroller.
The material of the handle is non-toxic and waterproof, very pleasant to the touch.
Addition mechanism
By type of "book" folding stroller "Peg-Perego GT3". The manual that comes with the stroller has a detailed description of this process and is provided with simple and understandable illustrations.
By lifting the two handles located on the sides, the stroller folds into a rather compact position. Owners of small cars note that even in their luggage carriers the Peg-Perego GT3 stroller fits easily in the folded position, and even there is little space left for shopping bags.
Walking block
A huge advantage over competing strollers is a very wide, spacious and deep seat. The seat is ergonomic, comfortable and safe.
Seat belts
Five-point seat belts, which are equipped with a stroller "Peg-Perego GT3", the reviews were positive. The straps are adjustable in length and have soft shoulder pads for even greater comfort for the baby while walking.
As in many other models of strollers of the Italian company Peg-Perego, seat belts are not sewn “tightly” to the back, but have a removable mechanism. While the child is very small, this is not the most important part of the stroller, but as soon as the little one grows up and learns to sit, he will fully appreciate the possibility of free and at the same time safe movement. With such belts, your beloved little one can easily turn left and right, lean toward the bumper and lean back on the back of the walking block, while parents will not worry about his safety - the belts give a lot of space for movement and hold egoza firmly in its rightful place.
In some models (depending on the year of manufacture), the belts are still sewn, so check before buying how exactly the seat belts are fixed on the stroller that you decide to purchase. Most parents believe that the free position of the belts is still more convenient for the baby. But the ability to transform belts from five to three-point solves this problem. Three-point belts can only be used from the age of one year. You can also buy additional "loose" belts.
Bumper
The Peg-Perego GT3 stroller has a removable bumper. While the baby is completely tiny, the bumper can be removed, it becomes necessary when you are walking a sitting baby, but since five-point seat belts reliably hold the baby in the saddle, the bumper can be removed to facilitate the total weight of the stroller.
When a child is placed in a stroller, the bumper is easily removed from one side and lifted, making the manipulation data with the baby as quick and convenient as possible.
Raincoat
The silicone raincoat, fastened with a zipper to the hood, reliably protects the baby from the weather, no rain and snow will be an obstacle for the young traveler.
Moreover, for walking with the baby on a frosty winter day, be sure to take this silicone raincoat with you - since it tightly fits the entire stroller and over time the baby's interior warms up from the child’s breathing, and the cold winter wind does not blow out.
Hood
The huge bathyscaphe hood, folding to the bumper, will protect in summer from sun rays, in the fall from drizzling rain, and in winter from a piercing cold wind.

Buyers of this vehicle note that although the basket is low enough, it does not touch it when crossing the curb, even if it is heavily loaded.
A bag
The stroller "Peg-Perego GT3" has several convenient accessories in its kit, one of which is a wonderful bag, which is easily mounted on the handle and has a compartment for bottles and other small things.
