The world of child gear doesn’t normally overlap with the automotive world—except you depend backseat tantrums or ISOFIX anchors. However now and again, one thing crosses over that makes you look twice. The Nuna MIXX Subsequent BMW Assortment is a type of issues.
Nuna, recognized for its smooth, safety-focused strollers and automotive seats, has teamed up with BMW to create a particular version of its MIXX Subsequent stroller. It’s not a rebadge job. From the darkish Factor material and chocolate brown leatherette trim to the refined BMW logos stitched into the cover and calf assist, there’s a transparent effort to align with the design language of the German automaker.
Loads of BMW Badges
However does including a badge and some coloration tweaks justify the premium? Or is there one thing deeper happening right here? Over the subsequent few months, we’ll be testing this stroller ourselves to seek out out. Not on a showroom ground, however in the actual world—throughout curbs, out and in of automotive trunks, by way of airports, and on afternoon walks that last more than anticipated. We’ll see the way it folds up in a rush, how a lot house it actually eats up at the back of a hatchback, and the way it handles once you’re steering with one hand and holding espresso (or a crying toddler) within the different. The twin-compartment storage basket is decently giant, with a hidden zipper pocket for valuables and a rear seat pocket that’s perfect for telephones, keys, or a pacifier stash.
Premium Constructed
First impressions? It’s well-built. The stroller feels sturdy with out being cumbersome, and the folding mechanism is satisfyingly easy. The seat reclines absolutely flat, which is good for new child naps on the go, and it converts between forward- and parent-facing setups with out a lot fuss. Nuna’s magnetic buckle is intelligent and genuinely useful when wrangling a squirming baby.
The suspension and tires appear able to dealing with rougher surfaces, although we’ll see the way it performs long-term. Similar goes for the undercarriage basket, which seems to be spacious however could find yourself being extra restricted as soon as a diaper bag and groceries are in play.
What makes this model totally different from the usual MIXX Subsequent comes all the way down to design particulars—and whether or not these matter to you. The Trinity-pattern wheels, leatherette touchpoints, and BMW badging give it a extra refined look. It has a compact fold-away axle that makes the entire stroller surprisingly manageable when collapsed—about 30 x 23.5 x 16.5 inches (76 x 60 x 42 cm) folded. It may even stand upright by itself and be pulled alongside like a suitcase. The stroller weighs about 24.5 kilos (11.1 kg).
The Mixx comes with a rear Free-Flex suspension and progressive entrance suspension, paired with foam-filled all-terrain tires, to provide it a extra steady, refined glide.
Finally, we’ll choose this stroller the way in which mother and father all the time do: by how simple it’s to dwell with, day after day. Is it genuinely helpful, or simply good to have a look at? Does the BMW connection make a significant distinction in expertise, or is it extra about fashion than substance?
We’ll discover out quickly. For now, the MIXX Subsequent BMW Assortment has our consideration—not due to the badge, however as a result of it would really be one thing greater than a branding train. The actual check begins now.
