Everyone looks for a good stroller – everyone. The stroller is a typical mainstay when travelling with a baby, at the mall or further from home. Before the stroller, and rarely in the Western World, everyone else was using slings or other devices to carry baby on the body – there is even Egyptian artwork from the age of the Pharaohs depicting use of slings!
So when did the stroller come about? The prototypes of today’s modern strollers are built on the first baby carriages and perambulators (prams) of Victorian England. Now, whether going out for a walk around the park or for slightly more extended travel plans, moving along with baby is never easier on body.
Today, I have the pleasure of reviewing the Onyx Stroller.
The first thing you will notice is the lightweight aluminum frame. I thought “I don’t know – this doesn’t seem sturdy” but it turned out I was wrong – once completely put together, the stroller feels as sturdy as other, heavier strollers.
Once baby is in the stroller, that is when the fun begins! Have a glance at the pros and cons below to get a better picture of everything the Onyx Stroller has to offer.
Pros:
- Complete with a 5-point harness designed for security
- Easy-to-adjust reclining seat assures that baby is as comfortable as possible
- Smooth maneuvering with swivel wheels
- Trouble-free locking and unlocking wheels
- Sturdy
- Really comfortable handles for the one pushing
- Holds Graco Snugride car seats
- Allowed to be taken on an airplane, as it fits in the overhead compartment
Cons:
- Canopy can sometimes insufficient if seat is reclined at certain angles
All in all, the Onyx Stroller is a safe, reliable stroller with plenty of perks – both for the little one and for the driver! It is clear to see that the designers kept baby in mind when building this stroller – and it shows. Even if only used for airline travel, the Onyx Stroller is a good investment.
