2010 Stokke Xplory Basic at Magic Beans

Strollers were created to make life easier for parents, but the Stokke Xplory Stroller has catapulted baby gear into a whole new dimension. With careful consideration and out-of-the-box design, Stokke has synthesized the needs of parents with the comfort of children in a way that has never been done before.

Strolling in the Stokke Xplory Basic 2010, children ride high enough off the ground to truly enjoy their surroundings. They can look into their parents' faces, gaze at the sky, or interact with the world around them. In a typical stroller, a child is staring at dogs' tails, fire hydrants, and car exhaust pipes. By elevating children away from the mundane, the Xplory encourages curiosity, observation and interaction.

Babies and toddlers alike will enjoy riding in the reversible seat. This seat has 3 reclining positions facing the parent, and 2 positions facing outward. You can raise and lower the seat effortlessly, and the handlebar features a multitude of adjustments to be comfortable for a wide range heights.

The Xplory is made from lightweight aluminum and automobile-grade plastic. The wheels are rubber, with plenty of shock absorption for a smooth ride. The Xplory can be used in several different configurations. The larger back wheels can be kicked forward, to enable you to ascend or descend an escalator or flight of stairs safely. The Xplory can also function as a high chair in a restaurant or café. The Xplory comes with a rain cover and drawstring storage basket.

While it takes a little practice to get comfortable with all the various locks, latches and other mechanisms necessary for daily use, by all accounts, it's a worthwhile effort. Parents who use the Xplory are delighted with both its good looks and great functionality, and not surprisingly, babies love it, too.
