The Photon is the newest all-in-one stroller from the German company, i\u2019coo. Not only is i\u2019coo fun to say, they have some pretty fun products too! The Photon can be used from baby\u2019s first outing in the bassinet mode, and then easily converts to a seated stroller to grow with baby up to 45 pounds. It can even be used as a high chair with its height adjustable seat! All. In. One.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Photon was fairly easy to assemble, although the instructions are a bit tricky. The manual is almost all pictures, so know it may take a little patience, but you will be happy with the end result.<\/p>\n

The Photon starts off as a stylish and modern pram complete with removable boot cover and supportive pad. Under the protection of the Photon\u2019s oversized canopy baby will be ready to meet their new world.<\/p>\n

\"IMG_4472\"<\/p>\n

Once baby gets a bit bigger the Photon transitions from a pram to a seated stroller by merely removing the bassinet pad, and attaching four different d-rings within the seat and footrest. Baby has the option to face their parent or take in the surroundings facing forward with the easily reversible seat.<\/p>\n

The harness is sure to please all because it has the option of being a three point or five point harness without having to puzzle the pieces together! There are also two different harness height positions for baby to grow with, and all harness straps are length adjustable ensuring a perfect fit. A couple other neat features within the seat are the buckle cover and the bumper bar. The padded buckle cover velcros over the buckle helping to prevent any pinching and can also deter the adventurous toddler from unbuckling themselves. Baby will like the height adjustable bumper bar (no more oddly positioned bar!), and Mommy the removable, easy to clean cover zipped around it.<\/span><\/p>\n

If baby gets sleepy mid stroll or just wants to kick back and relax, it\u2019s all good. The Photon has three different recline positions, upright, half way back, and flat, and smoothly adjusts with one hand. The adjustable footrest offers support of baby\u2019s legs regardless of the seat\u2019s position.<\/p>\n

\"IMG_4470\"<\/p>\n

By far the most head turning, and coolest feature of the Photon is the elevated seat. Lift the levers on each side of the frame, raise the seat up to table height, release, and smile knowing you have an instant high chair wherever you go! The height adjustable handle bar of the stroller can even adjust all the way down preventing it from blocking the aisle while you dine.<\/span><\/p>\n

Although the canopy doesn\u2019t have a peek a boo window, it is huge! Like, someone stopped me walking into the store on a windy day and asked if I really had a baby in the stroller because they couldn\u2019t see her huge.<\/span><\/p>\n

The basket of the Photon may look like nothing, but it held my large diaper bag with room to spare (which is no small feat), and is accessible from all sides even when the seat is laying flat.<\/p>\n

\"IMG_4463\"<\/p>\n

The Photon has an easy to use, one step brake. The rear wheels are large providing a sturdy and smooth ride for baby, and the front wheels can be locked into place when an adventure off the smooth pavement calls.<\/p>\n

\"IMG_4457\"<\/p>\n

To fold the Photon, simply lift a lever on each side of the frame, collapse it over, and lock the frame closed. Now, while the fold may be easy, it is not very compact so be sure to check its fit in your vehicle\u2026 as should be done when purchasing any stroller.<\/p>\n

I\u2019coo gives a lot of bang for your buck by including a footmuff, cup holder, univeral car seat adaptor, and raincover with the Photon. Thanks i\u2019coo!<\/span><\/p>\n
