Jane Solo Reverse Pushchair
My current personal favorite, of all the Jane pushchairs to date, is the Jane Solo . I like the design, its adaptability and above all its functionality. This is two pushchairs in one, no in fact this is several pushchairs in one, once you’ve taken into account the infant carseat and carry cot options, and with four great colour combinations… well I can’t do the math.
As the name suggests the key feature of the Jane Solo Reverse is that the child seat can be set to face the front or the rear allowing you, unlike most other pushchairs, to have your child facing you as you push them along; and this can be done quickly and easily should you wish to change your child’s viewpoint. I personally think that for very young children, say from new born to around two years, this is a fantastic option. If your child is the adventurous and inquisitive type who likes lots of stimulation and gets bored easily then fine, they will probably be happier facing forward where they can get the front row experience of the world.
However this is not the case with all children especially when they are very young. All the hectic chaos of the outdoor world can be very overwhelming for a small child that was recently laying calmly in its bed or cot at home. To suddenly thrust the great outdoors at them, especially when they can’t see you behind them, can be unnerving for some children. Until such a time that they become bored and restless staring at your familiar old face how much better will it be to push them around while maintain face to face contact?
So that is the main attribute of the Jane Solo, but of course there are plenty more positive features that you will have started to take for granted if you have researched other Jane pushchairs.
For a start this is another lightweight pushchair that can be folded away into a very compact state for easy transportation or storage. As with other Jane models it is made from 100% aluminum and weighs in at just 8.6kg. It can be folded away to the following dimensions 90 x 36 x 39 cm making it suitable for the smallest of car boots. This pushchair when folded will also stand upright unaided and can be folded regardless of which way the chair is facing.
Finally, while the Jane Solo looks like a very basic pushchair it is in fact an adaptable travel system and allows parents to buy the Jane Matrix fully flat infant car seat, the Jane Capazo carry cot or the Strata standard infant car seat which can all be quickly and easily attached using their Pro-Fix system.
There has been a small but significant renewed interest in the traditional four wheel pram over the last little while and, while this may be a bit of a retro fad, it seems that Jane has cleverly tapped into this need. Here you have a modern and stylish travel system that offers all the positives of a pram experience. I love it.
The Jane brand of pushchair has been a big European favorite for decades and is now well respected here in the UK. I hope you find the news and reviews here helpful. Regards Nina.
