SmarTraction System – It is a system which makes it possible to change
theposition of the wheel axles depending on the user's needs. You can move
them forward or backward due to special holes in the stroller frame, where you
put the bushing, into which the wheel axles are inserted and fastened in the frame
with the use of the quick-release system. Thanks to this solution, it is possible to
adjust the distance between the front and rear wheel axles in an easy and simple
way. There are two modes to choose from: CITY MODE and CROSS MODE.
Thechange of the wheel axles position is possible only in case of the rear
inflatable wheels. It is not possible in case of the front swivel PU wh eel
