Strolling With Baby
Your Stroller Guide
Mutsy
This company has a distinct modern line of fashionable and functional baby transport items. Mutsy offers an enormous amount of choice in designing a baby mobility system. There is a wide range of modules, fabrics and colors to choose from.
The basis of the Mutsy range is three frames, each with its own specific features. Various components fit into the frames such as a bassinet, a stroller seat, a car seat (with adaptor), and a fun seat for toddler. An intelligent click mechanism allows for components to be easily interchanged with a single movement. This click mechanism is found on the Babysitter chassis as well, so the stroller seat can be clicked in to make a baby rocker. The flexible system also allows for a child to grow with his/her Mutsy stroller for many years. The Mutsy baby transport collection also features the Slider, a new baby mobility concept with a revolutionary design and the Easygrow high chair and the Grow-Up! booster seat, two of the most stylish mealtime accessories for baby.
Stroller Frames
4RIDER
4Rider features Mutsy’s signature modern style with edgy, single-spoke wheels. The minimalist profile of the 4Rider was designed to allow full, unencumbered access to the basket. It provides a unique and easy fold with an easy to engage folding mechanism. The stroller folds in half from the front wheel as well. The four quick-release wheels can be easily removed to make for an even smaller package. The clever click-system allows for the bassinet, seat, car seat adaptor and Fun Seat to easily and safely attach to the frame. This system allows for only one direction for the bassinet….facing mom….but two directions for the seat so baby can face the world, or mom. Full-swivel front wheels make 4Rider exceptionally maneuverable in the city, strolling with baby in the park or on the beach. For cobblestone streets, sand or rougher terrain, the front wheels are easily locked in place by flipping a single switch underneath the step-up plate on the front. Trendy single-spoke wheels with pneumatic tires provide for a smoother ride for baby and a handy pump is included for convenience. The handle extends easily into four positions with a single hand push of a button, so all size parents are comfortable pushing baby.

Stroller Seats and Bassinets
CARGO RANGE SAETS AND BASINETS
The Cargo fabrics are comfortable, yet durable and easy to clean; a great combination for the discerning toddler. The Cargo’s full-sized bassinet is ideal for transporting infants, as it attaches to any Mutsy Rider frame from the bottom of the cot, allowing baby to be positioned much higher off the ground—closer to mom. The bassinet features a strong handle to carry a sleeping baby, a mattress pad and cover, and several zip storage compartments for baby’s essentials. The bassinet is footed so it may be used for baby when away for the weekend, or just to continue a nap after strolling. An apron is provided to keep baby covered and has an extra large storage compartment for a blanket or diapers. The full-sized hood is protective for a newborn, keeping sun and elements away from baby and can be easily removed when using indoors.
The separate seat may be used with baby facing mom or looking out at the world. The seat can be reclined to 4 unique positions, down to a complete lie-flat for napping baby or toddler. Even the depth of the seat can be adjusted to the correct ergonomic position for a growing baby, providing absolute maximum comfort for the little occupant. An extendable leg rest provides support for a smaller child and can be put in three positions. The removable front bar can be replaced with the optional dinner tray or left off so a toddler can step onto the front step-up and right into the seat. The extra-large protective hood has a huge peep-hole window in the top, a large zip compartment on the back, and is built to provide full protection, even when the seat is in the full-recline position.
Available in: Cargo Orange, Cargo Grey, Cargo Anthracite, Cargo Cream and Cargo Kaki
Recommended Retail: Seat $195, bassinet $235
COLLEGE AND ACTIVE COLLECTION SEATS & BASINETS
Rounding out the extensive collection of colors in the College and Active range, Team Brown and Dark Kaki bring current fashion trends into the line. Made of durable nylon on the outside, the colorful full-sized bassinet is ideal for transporting infants. Attaching to any Rider frame from the bottom of the bassinet, the Mutsy configuration allows baby to be higher off the ground and closer to mom. The strong, hide-away handle allows a sleeping baby to be carried in and the footed bassinet provides a flat, stable surface to put the bassinet down so baby can keep napping. Also included are an apron cover over the bassinet, a mattress pad and cover, and several zip storage compartments for baby’s essentials.
The separate seat may be used with baby facing mom or looking out at the world. The depth of the seat can be adjusted for absolute maximum comfort of its little occupant. Features also include full recline, extendable leg rest, a removable front bar, and a protective hood.
