Hi Malina! Tell us about yourself!
My name is Malina and I live in Oslo with my little family - My husband and our little baby girl, Marley. She just turned two years and has already so much personality. We have always been traveling a lot, since she was 3 months, so it’s really important for us to have a good travel stroller that works for everything and makes the trip easier for us. That’s why I always have been using the Elodie Mondo stroller.
When is the best time of year to visit Oslo?
Spring is a lovely time to visit as the landscape comes alive with blossoming flowers. The weather is usually mild, and tourist numbers are lower compared to the peak summer season. And Christmas time, the city is beautifully decorated with Christmas lights, creating a festive and enchanting atmosphere. Karl Johans gate, Oslo's main street, is typically adorned with sparkling lights and decorations, making it a great place for a festive stroll.
Tell us your top stroller-friendly spots for:
Breakfast: Godt Brød is a bakery chain with multiple locations in Oslo, it’s known for its organic and freshly baked goods, making it a great spot for a morning meal.
Lunch: Holzweiler Platz is located in a new and vibrant area of Oslo, called Oslobukta. The prettiest lunch in the city and there is so much room outside to sit with a stroller.
Coffee & Play: With multiple locations in Oslo, Java Espressobar is a chain that focuses on serving high-quality espresso-based drinks. It's a favorite among those who appreciate a good cup of coffee.
Any favourite park or playground?
The park surrounding the Royal Palace, known as Slottsparken, is a popular green space in the heart of Oslo. It's a beautiful area where locals and visitors can stroll, relax, and enjoy the surroundings. The park features well-maintained lawns, walking paths, and various sculptures. We love it and visit it weekly!
Where do you go shopping?
A waterfront district with a mix of shops, restaurants, and entertainment. Aker Brygge is known for its contemporary architecture and a range of fashion and design stores.
What is your favourite feature on the Elodie MONDO Stroller?
I love that the Elodie Mondo stroller is so light, simple and perfect to travel with. I can quickly fold it into a compact size and bring it on the airplane as hand luggage. We travel a lot so it’s really important for us to have a good stroller that works for everything when you travel. And not to mention, she sleeps like a little baby in the stroller!
