Britax recently unveiled the Chaperone stroller, which is expected to be in stores in August. The stroller, together with the Chaperone infant carrier is part of the Chaperone Travel Collection.
The infant carrier features Britax’s True Side Impact Protection and can accommodate children between 4 and 30 pounds up to 32 inches. The Chaperone stroller can be used with the infant carrier or on its own for children up to 55 pounds. The stroller, which was designed with improving ease of function and more mobility for parents on the go, features a one-hand fold. For all of us juggling groceries, kids, errands, while navigating planes, trains and automobiles, that one-hand fold feature is worth its weight in gold.
Britax, which is well regarded for its safety features and functionality among parents and safety officials alike, includes a non-rethread five-point adjustable harness on the infant carrier. Both carrier and stroller meet and exceed all standards of compliance mandated by the Consumer Product Safety Commission.
Both components of the Chaperone travel collection are available in four different styles. The Chaperone infant carrier ($229) hit the stores last month, and the stroller ($299) will be available in August. It sounds like this one is a great option for a mid-size stroller. I’m anxious to see this one in person and see how heavy/light it is, especially for urban dwellers like us. The one-hand fold option is helpful in public transportation scenarios.
Oh, and hey, if you buy both the carrier and stroller, Britax is offering a $100 rebate. How’s that for incentive!
