The handlebar of the Mima Xari stroller
The handlebar is adjustable and can be used easily by the parents, regardless of height. Maximum height of handlebar is about 45 inches from the ground, and 36 inches from the ground when it’s adjusted at a lower angle.
The handlebar is very sturdy and doesn’t wobble. Also, the part of the handle which you’ll grip is covered with comfortable, removable leather which is the same material as the seat.
The canopy
The canopy of the Mima Xari stroller is quite unique, in the sense that some people might fancy it, others might not. It’s a hard-shelled structure that is designed that way to offer stronger protection against the sun. It’s also 3 panelled and slides down depending on the level of sun protection you need.
The pros of the canopy of the Mima Xari stroller
- The canopy is hard and very durable.
- It slides 3 steps depending on the amount of sunlight protection you need.
Cons
- It, like a lot of luxury strollers out there does not have a peek-a-boo window. You’ll have walk to the front to see your baby.
- Poor ventilation, not ideal for really hot outings.
The wheels
The wheels are made of the same material as the soles of athletic shoes, which makes them resistant to wear and tear. It’s rubberised so it has a strong grip on the ground, making it an ideal choice for snow and icy conditions. There is also really good shock absorption.
All the wheels can be removed easily by a simple touch of a button. The front wheels, although swivel for extra maneuverability, can be locked in one place in case you want to go for a slightly rougher terrain, like grass.
Back tyres are controlled by a one-step brake. All you need to do is just step on it once and do same to turn it off.
The storage capacity of the Mima Xari stroller
It has two storage baskets bearing lids, so you can privately store your stuff in them. There’s also a front basket where you can store small stuff, the whole storage capacity isn’t really big and unfortunately, you’ll probably not be able to carry groceries in it.
How do I fold the mima xari stroller?
If you don’t fold it properly, you might end up messing up the fabric. To fold with the Bassinet, remove it from the chassis, adjust your handlebar at the top part of the seat, pull the levers in an upward direction in order to fold the frames, and then pull the handle on its seat for a more compact fold.
The result is that the folded stroller will stand on its own and you’ll be able to use the wheels to move it. Make sure to put the canopy all the way back. If every part of the stroller sets on the wheels, then you’re doing the right thing.
