AURORA is an advanced special needs stroller that combines a new generation design with

a modern look. It is designed for the youngest users with limited locomotor abilities. It holds

the most essential features of the special needs stroller, not resembling one at the same

time. The proven technical solutions used in the stroller make it safe, stable and very

comfortable.

®

The biggest advantage of the AURORA stroller is its convenient multifunctional reversible

seat. It allows the child to interact with the caregiver or the environment, depending on the

seat position. A tilt-in-space function allows for smooth adjustment of the inclination angle

of the entire seat. The adjustable cushions and side supports provide excellent lateral

stabilization. In addition, there is the possibility of changing the height of the headrest, the

angle of the backrest and the footrest.

®

The AURORA stroller has been equipped with adjustable shock absorbers. There are two

modes to choose from: City and Comfort. The front swivel wheels with blockade make it

easier to maneuver the stroller in tight and narrow spaces. As standard, the stroller is

equipped with practical accessories: an adjustable folding canopy, leg cover, capacious

under seat storage basket and bag. Numerous reflective elements placed on the stroller

provide additional safety. A wide range of adjustments make it possible to adapt the stroller

to the individual needs of smaller or larger children.
