Stroller Pack
The Stroller Pack is an inspired combination. A two-wheeled backpack, with a tee-bar stand for when you come to a stop, it doubles as a stroller which can take you places that most child-carriers cannot venture: down a rocky path into a steep gorge, or up and down platforms as you change trains. If you're enjoying the wilderness in the sun, so will your child: a sun bonnet provides shade for a cool ride. The aluminium frame, including wheels, weighs just 10.7lb (4.8kg), yet has a load capacity of 75lb (35kg). Converting between stroller and pack is quick and easy, and the whole unit can fold up small enough to fit into an aircraft overhead luggage-rack.

The Stroller Pack is not a compromise product. When used as a back pack it lets you tackle any terrain easily - and it's also perfect when used as a stroller. The large 12" wheels roll smoothly whether you're going up or down steps, walking on sidewalks, over grass, across sand or on a rough track, or jogging. The child sits back and enjoys the ride. Parents want an active lifestyle these days. The Stroller Pack lets their children have a piece of the action, too!

There are six all-terrain jogging Strollers machines in the Kool-Stride line up. The Junior weighs just 16lb (7.1kg) and carries a human payload of 75lb (33.5kg). The Senior carries up to 85lb (38kg). there's also a deluxe version, the Paramount, and the two-child version the Lil' Deuce.

All Stroller frames are manufactured from sturdy, lightweight, specially-extruded oval aluminium tubing. All models have stainless-steel spokes and hardware, and all plated components are subjected to a 48-hour salt spray test. All Strollers have two mesh storage areas, one behind and a larger one underneath the seat. Five-point safety harnesses are fitted with a single buckle for ease of use and the Zipper Seat allows the child to sit upright or recline. The stroller will fold down easily and quickly, with quick-release wheels, and all machines are fitted with two brakes.

New for this year is the 'Special Use' Stroller. This is, in many cases, a viable alternative to a wheelchair. Based on existing Stroller technology, the Special Use has a larger seat and a solid foot-bar. This machine can take children and adults up to 150lb (68kg).
