Traverse City, Michigan. The 4rider’s frame has a little wavy action going on. Mutsy had a modified Z-shaped frame really early in the game; the Dutch went wild with innovation, pram-wise, in the late 1990s, and Mutsy was right there with Bugaboo, changing the world, one chassis at a time. This is the most recent incarnation:
Note the nicely designed, sturdy footrest. And the tray (more about that in a minute). And particularly, the coolest feature of all — the one-spoke wheel:
Takes a minute to parse, doesn’t it? Ah, Mutsy, you’re playin’ with my brain.
This 4rider has the Mutsy “dinner tray”; which this family bought in Europe. (It may be available in the USA now.) Trays on US strollers seem designed for parental neglect: They have holes to dump food into (got to get a head start on those bad eating habits) and wells for bottles and sippies, so that baby can help herself early on without interfering with parental texting or mobile blathering or whatever else the parent is doing that’s more important than the outing with the kid.
On the other hand, the Mutsy tray invites interaction, just like the surface of a nice table. Dumping stuff on the dinner tray doesn’t work; sharing is required. It’s cleanable, too, with just a swift wipe, which can’t be said of the ubiquitous American snack tray. This is an accessory an adult could love — and enjoy seeing every day.
