Tell us about Nia. What makes it a must-have for modern parents on the go?
Nia is designed with modern parents in mind, those always on the go who need something practical without compromising on comfort. What makes it truly unique is that it’s the first and only stroller on the market that’s cabin-approved with both either seat unit or carrycot attached. A complete travel system you can take on a plane - a real game-changer for families who love to travel.
Was there a particular moment or experience that sparked the idea for Nia?
The idea for Nia was born from watching parents navigate the chaos of family travel – bulky strollers, crowded airports, and wriggling little ones in tow. We realised what families truly need is a stroller that keeps up: compact, lightweight, and effortlessly versatile whilst also being stylish and that's where Nia comes in.
