What do you have to take into account when buying a baby stroller?
When we begin to enter the world of baby strollers We discover that he is a complete unknown and that is when many questions begin to arise: What type of stroller is best: a basic, a trio, a convertible, or a travel system? Will a telescopic or fixed handle be better? Aluminum or anodized steel? Foam or air wheels...? It is very likely that you have been thinking about “telescopic handle” and are not able to move forward.
Don't worry. To begin to answer all your doubts, we have created a series of posts to help you decide on the best stroller.
To do this, we are going to start talking about the components and pieces that make up a car, something fundamental and necessary so that we can move forward and know how to get it right.
Difference between stroller and car
The first thing we are going to do is separate 2 concepts that are not clear and therefore tend to create confusion: the car and the stroller.
In general, the stroller or baby carriage is characterized by having a carrycot and it is the one we use when the baby is born. This stroller, due to its structure, allows other types of seats to be added that are placed completely safely and correctly thanks to its anchors. In the same way that we use anchors to attach the carrycot to the car seat belt when we travel with our baby.
Baby stroller or stroller
For now, we are going to park the chair and focus on the baby stroller.
Can you tell us how many models of baby carriages or strollers there are?
Let's break down the different types of cars to help you better understand all of this.
The world of babies is very complex and it is just as important (and difficult) to choose our child's name as the stroller we will buy for them to take their first walks. The stroller is one of the first purchases that parents make. since this will accompany your child in his first months and years of life. Hence, the importance of being well informed to know how to choose.
Types of baby strollers
1. Trio or 3 pieces. It is the most complete type of car.
As its name indicates, the trio cart It is made up of 3 fundamental pieces: the group 0 stroller and car safety seat; the carrycot and hammock which we also call a chair. Three pieces in a single stroller that will accompany you for walks to the park, car rides and whenever you want him to rest in his hammock while you are at home.
It is made up of a structure, which we call chassis. It is very light, weighs nothing and facilitates quick, very compact folding.
The Trio stroller features 3 types of seats or support where you can put your baby from birth to 7 years of age supporting a weight of up to 22 kilos. Unlike other strollers that only support up to 15 kilos, Trio Genius is capable of reaching 22 kilos thanks to its special approval.
A baby stroller with 3 types of seats
1. Group 0 or car safety seat: The car safety seat allows the baby to be placed in complete safety from birth until he or she weighs 13 kilos. It is a very versatile chair as it is adaptable to any vehicle and its anatomical seat favors the baby's development without harming its spine. Using the “aclick” system you can place the chair and remove it by pressing just one button. For greater comfort for your baby you can add the Isofix base approved according to the I-Size regulation, which has been in force since 2013 and focuses on the regulation of child car seats, paying special attention to child safety.
2. Carrycot: The carrycot presented by the Genius Trio is completely comfortable, light and comfortable, facilitating the baby's bone development. Its anti-allergic material allows the baby to rest with complete peace of mind. For very sunny days, it offers the possibility of adjusting the hood and is breathable to facilitate better relaxation. And, the most convenient thing, its cover goes directly into the washing machine without having to remove the stains by hand.
3. Hammock, also called chair: The hammock that our Trio Genius presents is reversible, facilitating the baby's peace of mind when he wants to look at his parents and can also be placed in the direction of travel so that he can better explore the world.
All of these seats can be anchored to the chassis using a secure grip system.
So in the same chassis we can place the three types of seats alternatively and according to our needs. This one works for us at any time of the year and guarantees us the ideal combination of design, safety and comfort for our baby. In addition, we can use it up to 15 kilos.
Today, The 3-piece baby stroller is the best-selling model for being the most complete since it is suitable for newborn babies up to 15 kilos (approximately 36 months).

2. Convertible baby stroller. This baby stroller offers the same functionalities as the previous model (trio) but does so with fewer parts. This stroller allows you to transport your newborn baby up to 2 years old without having to resort to another car. The reason for this stroller is that it is convertible and adapts to the evolving needs of your baby. Its rear brake, as well as the front wheels with cushioning, make it a very safe and comfortable car for the ride.
It is made up of a structure (chassis).
And 2 types of seats or supports that become 3:
1. Group 0 or car seat Duo stroller (Two + or Riso) includes a car seat
2. Carrycot that converts into a chair with small modifications. This type of baby stroller offers comfort and lightness at the same time. In a few seconds you can convert the carrycot into a stroller without losing the advantages of a carrycot: foldable hood, multi-position backrest with strap and a 5-point harness for greater safety during your baby's walks.
All parts are anchored to the chassis using a secure grip system at the touch of a button.
In the same chassis we can place the two types of seats and enjoy the three options alternatively and according to our needs.
Convertible baby strollers are the most current and have more and more followers. A system that helps you save space and money, but without dispensing with any piece so that you can offer all the comforts to your baby.
The models Riso and Two + They are Asalvo's star convertible stroller models.
3. TRAVEL SYSTEM baby stroller. This is a model that offers fewer functionalities than previous models since it DOES NOT INCLUDE A CARRYCOT, and that is why it is not recommended by pediatricians for use in newborns.
For the first months of the baby's life, the carrycot is a fundamental piece since it offers you the possibility of lying down and developing correctly.
It is made up of a structure/or chassis that almost always carries the hammock attached and not individually as in the previous cases. This makes it inseparable.
In addition, it is made up of an independent seat that is always a group 0 or car safety seat and is generally anchored on the hammock.
This option is deprecated, since pediatrician evaluations are increasingly widespread and Parents prefer to opt for options that include carrycots.
(At Asalvo we prioritize the safety and well-being of the baby, which is why we do not offer any Travel System and we have not been able to show any photos)
stroller
Asalvo strollers They are universal models and are the basic element of every father or mother.
They include a chassis and a hammock that can usually be removed or put to replace with other pieces (carrycot or group 0) that are purchased additionally.
Normally the hammock is reversible so that it can be put in both directions of travel. This also allows additional pieces such as the carrycot and/or group 0 to be placed correctly (looking at the parents).
They are more robust than a stroller and generally offer more functionality in use and more comfort for the baby thanks to its wide, padded seat with total reclining to help your child rest. In addition, the stroller allows the baby to be placed in the direction of travel and in the opposite direction without affecting the moment of folding the stroller.
Most of these basic strollers can be fitted with a standardized soft carrycot. There are brands that offer this alternative. If you are going to opt for this type of stroller and want to install a soft carrycot, it is essential that you look for the appropriate model and always in the opposite direction of travel, since the baby in the carrycot must always look at the parents to gain trust between them.
