The lightweight, compact-fold stroller allows for easy and comfortable travel —
CHARLOTTE, N.C., June 19, 2009 — Britax® — known for pioneering safety and ease-of-use features in car seats — announced today a new lightweight stroller perfect for travel around town or across the country. The 16-pound, compact-fold Blink™ Stroller is easy to maneuver and can accommodate children from six months old up to 55 pounds.
Not only is the Blink stylish and compact, but it was designed with simplicity and convenience in mind. Caregivers can throw Blink over a shoulder while keeping both hands free using its portable carry strap, perfect for the airport. The fold release mechanism allows a caregiver to fold the stroller without scuffing shoes, and the one-foot linked rear break locks the rear wheels with a single step. A caregiver can keep items like keys, a wallet or phone handy in the Blink’s large storage pouch.
The Blink keeps children safe and comfortable while on the go. Equipped with a tangle-free five-point harness, it offers three harness heights for a secure fit. The stroller also has all-wheel suspension for a smooth ride. A caregiver can customize the sleeping position extending to a nearly full recline, and can also choose from two leg rest positions. A large canopy and visor blocks wind, rain and harmful UV rays, while a window allows caregivers to peek inside the stroller.
“Parents have trusted Britax for years to make travel safe and convenient,” said Sebastiaan Selders, product manager at Britax. “With its compact, lightweight design, the Blink gives parents the convenience and style they desire coupled with the safety and durability they demand.”
The Blink meets and exceeds all standards of compliance currently mandated by the Consumer Product Safety Commission for such substances as phthalates and lead content. The Blink comes in five fashions and will be available at independent and mass retailers beginning in July 2009. It has a suggested retail price of $149.99 and for a limited time comes with a free carry bag.
