With a detachable hood and rain cover, the Red Kite Push Me 2U stroller is ready for whatever the weather may bring, with a small mesh basket providing space for a coat or blanket beneath the seat. Suitable from birth, the Joie nitro™ travel stroller has 5 single handed recline positions including a flat recline mode and a 5-point SoftTouch™ harness which is soft and gentle on your baby's sensitive skin whilst keeping them safe and secure. Traditional pushchairs and travel systems are a great way to travel with your baby in tow, but due to their robust, all-terrain nature, they can often be heavy and bulky, making them somewhat challenging when travelling on public transport.
