CARETTA BUGGY™ IS A GAME CHANGER FOR ANNEMARIE
11-year-old Annemarie was born with Cerebral Palsy which means she is unable to sit or walk without support.
Towards the end of last year, Annemarie’s parents decided to look for a new stroller as she had outgrown her previous one as her father Kirill explains. “Buying a buggy for Annemarie is not a quick process as it has to be perfect and meet all Annamarie’s requirements. After researching online, we came across the Caretta Buggy™ from Baffin and it looked perfect, so we got in touch”.
Following an initial telephone conversation, Anita and Merzena visited Annemarie and her parents to carry out an assessment to ensure the Caretta Buggy™ was the right product for Annemarie. “As soon as Annemarie sat in the stroller we could tell she loved it and was clearly far more comfortable that in her previous stroller. Both Marzena and Anita put Annemarie at ease and were extremely knowledgeable about the product and also had a clear understating of what Annemarie needed which was fantastic for us as parents. They took the time to ensure everything was perfect for Annemarie and I was very impressed with them” continued Kirill.
The Caretta Buggy™ is the ideal adaptive stroller for children and young adults between 130cm and 160cm (4’3” - 5’3”) in height who require support when moving around or sitting. A five-point safety harness/vest and straps stabilise the pelvis to ensure the user can be transported in comfort while maintaining the correct postural position at all times which is so important for children with Cerebral Palsy such as Annemarie. In addition to being small enough when folded to fit in most standard car boots, the Caretta has also been crash tested. Further comfort is provided by the headrest system which ensures the head is supported at all times and the height of the head rest, side supports, and tilt function of the seat can all be easily adjusted.
Another feature of the Caretta Buggy™ which impressed Kirill was the soft suspension as this enables the family to go for walks over terrain which was unsuitable for Annemarie’s previous stroller. The family can also go out in any weather thanks to the visor and leg covers which keep Annemarie dry and warm even on the coldest winter days.
“I cannot thank Marzena, Anita and the rest of the team at Baffin Technology enough. Their level of customer care was superb and the Caretta has made a real difference to Annemarie and us as a family – I would not hesitate in recommending Baffin Technology to anyone who is looking for a specialist stroller for their child” concluded Kirill.
