Polish manufacturer "Roan"

Roan's product range is small, represented by several models of prams, strollers, baby car seats and various accessories such as bags, baby envelopes, muffs and umbrellas. But nevertheless, each stroller is thought out to the smallest detail, because the number of produced models does not always have a positive effect on their quality. And in conjunction with the low cost, the attractiveness of Roan strollers increases.

Many mothers say that their friends and in their yards have most strollersthis particular manufacturer. Also, judging by the reviews, Polish strollers last a long time, as they can often be found on the site selling used goods. Many have raised more than one generation of children in them.

Best in line

One of the most popular and demanded lately in Russia is the "Roan-Marita" stroller model due to its versatility. The stroller is very simple, without unnecessary bells and whistles. Reliable and large inflatable wheels make it a passable all-terrain vehicle in any conditions, and a large cradle will be comfortable even for the largest kids. As the child grows up, the cradle can be changed to a walking block, and a car seat is provided for trips, which can also be installed on the frame - all this is a Roan stroller. The reviews of mothers presented in the article, collected from the forums of various cities, only confirm this. Parents like this model, they note that there is nothing to complain about in it, everything is thought out and provided for. On many forums, moms give recommendations to buy this particular stroller, referring to their experience. Some parents have raised more than one child with this stroller.

King

The dimensions of the stroller "Roan" are quite impressive, for which many mothers call her a carriage. Indeed, there is a superficial resemblance. The X-shaped frame with large inflatable rubber wheels and a roomy carrycot is considered one of the most comfortable options for the first six months of a baby's life.

External dimensions of the stroller 1080x600x820 mm, internal dimensions of the cradle are the sameone of the largest in its class - 82 cm long and 38 cm wide. It is the large dimensions inside the cradle that make it so attractive. Even a large child, dressed in warm overalls and wrapped in a blanket, will not feel cramped in it. The cradle box is made of molded plastic, it is possible to raise the child. Inside the cradle there is a pleasant cotton fabric and a coconut coir mattress with a cotton mattress topper.

The weight of the cradle is 5 kg. For carrying it, two handles are provided, which fold into the side pockets.

According to reviews from the "mom" forums, many recommend this stroller for children born in the summer, as even an adult baby will be comfortable in its spacious cradle in the winter. Mom will be calm, and the baby will be warm and comfortable.

Stroller block

The use of the walking block from the stroller "Roan-Marita" is possible after the child is 6 months old and he can sit confidently. For the safety of the child, a 5-point seat belt is provided. There is a front bumper. The footrest is adjustable. The back of the walking block is displayed in five provisions. A very big plus is that it can be unfolded into a completely horizontal position.

A minor disadvantage of using a stroller with a seat unit is that it is much lower than, for example, L-frame strollers. The weight of the walking block is 4.5 kg.

One hood for two

Hood (bonnet)The stroller is made of dense fabric, usually the same as the cape on the legs. The inside is lined with a pleasant light-coloured cotton fabric. Many mothers note that one hood for two blocks is inconvenient. And indeed, only one hood is provided in the configuration of the Roan-Marita stroller, and when changing the cradle to the walking block, the hood will also have to be rearranged.

Some mothers note that after installing the walking block, rather wide gaps form between its part and the hood. Someone sews Velcro on their own to prevent wind blowing, and someone refrains from walking in very windy weather.

One of the disadvantages of the hood is also noted by many mothers. It's the lack of a viewing window. When the walking part is installed facing away from the mother, you want to watch the child, but there is no such possibility. Also, the dense fabric does not breathe in the summer, there are no opening parts with meshes, like the summer versions of strollers, therefore, according to mothers, at some time the baby becomes hot. For winter, the Roan-Marita stroller is perfect.

Also, from the shortcomings of the hood, it is noted that on the cradle it does not cover the baby well from the wind, because there is no additional visor and no rising collar. On the walking block, the hood can be lowered to the bumper and completely cover the child from both wind and precipitation. But you can go for a walk in good weather without it.

When the carrycot is installed on the chassis, the maximum position of the hood to the stroller at 90 degrees is notprotects the child from strong winds. The lack of a roll-up collar forces moms to wear a raincoat to protect their child from blowing gusts.

Cradle on wheels

The most popular stroller "Roan-Marita" has gained because of its cross-country ability and comfortable frame for motion sickness. Four large inflatable rubber wheels with a tread make it incredibly soft to ride, and additional comfort is provided by a spring shock absorption system made of metal-plastic. Even on the most icy bumps, the child will not shake, but only gently rock. The "Marita" will pass through mud, off-road, and through snowdrifts.

Rolling the baby in this stroller is a pleasure. You can swing the stroller not only back and forth, but also left and right. It is important to note that the seat unit can also be rocked in different directions, which is practically impossible for strollers on an L-frame.

Many mothers note that in this stroller, thanks to its rocking properties, the child sleeps not only on the street, but also at home.

All terrain workhorse

The stroller can withstand heavy loads, there is a basket for things or purchases at the bottom. It is made of metal mesh, so that the dirt will not linger in it. Access is convenient from the front of the stroller. With the seat unit installed, the basket is also easy to reach, even when the seat back is folded out to 180 degrees. In the reviews of mothers, there is information that about 15 kg was loaded into the basket and she did an excellent job with it.

Goingstroller both in the snow and in the sand. Someone writes that he traveled with her through the Crimean mountains. The stroller has a foot brake-pedal, but to remove the stroller from it, you need to lift it up with the toe of the boot. In muddy weather, this stains shoes a lot. Many mothers report that the rocker brake is much more comfortable.

The handle of the stroller can be adjusted in height in two positions - 100 cm and 108 cm from the floor, and there is also a third position - “in the elevator”.

The stroller's wheels are easy to remove. The aluminum frame easily develops, the mechanism - the book. There is a button on the handle of the stroller that allows you to fold the stroller with one hand. An additional loop on the frame prevents the stroller from unplanned folding.

The dimensions of the frame when folded are rather big: 430x600x970 mm, its weight with wheels is 9 kg.

For travel, you can purchase a car seat that can be installed on the stroller frame. This allows you not to carry a huge cradle with you.

Extraneous sounds

The main drawback often found in reviews of mothers is the creak of the stroller. For quiet movement, it is recommended to lubricate all moving parts of the frame with WD-40. Of course, it is unpleasant to buy a new thing with squeaks and extraneous noise, but careful care is needed for everything.

About upholstery and covers

Carriages "Roan-Marita" are made of either fabric or leatherette. All fabric elements are removable and machine washable at 40 degrees. The color range is wide, there are colors for both boys and girls.for girls, there are also unisex options. One of the main difficulties with upholstery for moms arose when trying to remove the cover from the hood. To pull out the metal parts of the hood, you need to cut off the elastic that holds the shape of the hood. To put it back on, the elastic must be sewn on so that it does not move out.

It is recommended to wash all parts of the stroller on a delicate cycle, at a temperature not exceeding 40 degrees. Judging by the reviews of moms, it is better to wash the hood separately by hand so that it keeps its shape better later.

Optional accessories

The stroller has a wide range of accessories. The set comes with a bag for mom, a foot cover for the walking block, a rain cover. You can additionally purchase an envelope for the baby and a hand muff for the cold season for mom and dad.
