The multiple position backrest adapts and adjusts to suit the needs of your growing baby, and will provide you with a number of custom options to ensure the comfort of your child; in addition to this, the leg rest, handle height and harness height are all adjustable.

Venicci Tinum 2.0 Review

Quick Summary: If you are looking for a pushchair that ticks a lot of boxes on function without compromising on the style, the Tinum 2.0 could be the one for you. Although we noted a few minor compromises, we feel these could easily be justified when looking at some of the many pros this pushchair offers.

Whats good?

• Lightweight and compact travel system
• Contemporary styling
• Good price point

Whats not so good?

• No safety catch when folded
• Slightly low for taller parents

Table of contents

Things we love, things to look out for, our verdict.

As Venicci's most lightweight and compact travel system at the time, the original Tinum had many parent friendly features in a contemporary styling. Back with the Tinum 2.0, Venicci have added some key new features, while retaining a lot of the function and style parents loved from the original.

Looking at the carrycot we are greeted with the first changes. Now approved for occasional overnight sleeping, the spacious carrycot is lined with a beautiful quilted fabric. Soft to the touch, it presents a very comfy space for little ones to nap in.

The hood offers UPF50+ protection with a ventilated panel at the back and a zipped extension, offering full coverage to protect little one from the elements. This is a nice feature that is not offered in a lot of carrycots and may eliminate the need for a parasol. There is also a new panoramic ventilation system on the carrycot. With two zips to operate, the panel near the baby's head can either be folded down or up, or removed entirely. Great for those warmer days to offer air flow through the carrycot, it also gives younger babies a chance to see the world around them without yet sitting up.

Taking the carrycot off the chassis is done by operating a trigger on both sides. Being so lightweight at just 4.4kg, this is not difficult to do. You can then carry it with the handle integrated into the hood.

Moving onto the seat unit, which itself is approved for use from birth, we are greeted with another well sized unit. Offering a nice wide seat and an extending footrest we can see how the unit is going to suit a growing toddler.

The hood again gives UPF50+ protection and extends to give full coverage to the seat in all positions. There is another ventilated panel, which doubles as your peep window when the seat is world facing.

There are three recline positions which can be adjusted with the one hand recline lever at the top of the seat. With a spring loaded auto lock mechanism, it just requires a simple push to move the seat back into a more upright position, particularly helpful when presented with a weightier passenger.

The seat can remain in place when folding the pushchair, either parent or world facing. Using the recline lever, the seat back is simply aligned with the handle, the footrest folded up, then the chassis is folded as normal. Great for parents on the go!

The aluminium alloy chassis is lightweight and compact when folded. Operated with just one hand, the chassis folds simply with a push of a button and a twist of a handle. Located in the middle of the pushchair the folding mechanism can be easily operated with either hand, then doubles up as a carry handle. There is also a handy strap which can be used to pop the system on your shoulder for even easier transport. We did find it best to have the handle down in the lowest position to prevent bumping it on the floor and to ensure achieving the most compact fold possible. This is easy to alter with a telescopic adjustment operated with a button in the middle of the handle bar.

The handle has a great range suiting parents of varying heights to push. The solid puncture proof wheels are all quick release and the front two can be locked in the forward facing position to make navigating rougher surfaces much easier. The basket has also been improved with a zipped rear panel that can be used to extend your storage space.

We loved the carrycot interior fabrics. Soft to the touch, beautifully quilted and easily removable, we feel the only feature they lacked was the ability to be machine washed. Though this could easily be resolved with a carrycot sheet. When removing the carrycot from the chassis, we also found there were a couple of things to note. The hood, ideally, needs to be in the upright position to access the handle which itself is only accessible from one side due to the zipped sun visor at the front. We did not find this to be an issue, just a step we felt worth noting for ease of use. 

The seat itself is a great size and easy to operate on the pushchair. However when adjusting the harness height, we did have to remove the seat fabric completely. It was not the easiest access to adjust for our bigger tester, though this is something you will generally only do once. We also found that when the seat is in a world facing position, and the handle is in the lowest setting, it is not able to recline. This is an issue few parents will suffer from but the telescopic handle adjustment does quickly resolve it. The seat itself is also a little low when on the chassis. Venicci do offer carrycot height adjusters, though we feel for taller parents it may be nice to have this option for the seat unit also.

The last thing we would note about the Tinum 2.0 is that there is no lock on the folded chassis. Although lightweight, we did find manoeuvring the pushchair with the seat unit attached into the boot required just a little focus to ensure the chassis did not open up. With continued use, we leant the best places to hold the chassis to prevent this from happening though we still feel a lock would be a simple solution to this. 

The Venicci Tinum 2.0 is a great travel system option for those looking for both practicality and design. With some very useful features, the Tinum 2.0 gives parents a compact and lightweight travel system option with a very contemporary feel and reasonable price. We love the one handed fold mechanism and lightweight frame which makes travelling with a child, and everything that comes with them a lot easier. The ability to fold with the seat on is a feature we know many parents would appreciate.

If you are looking for a pushchair that ticks a lot of boxes on function without compromising on the style, the Tinum 2.0 could be the one for you. Although we noted a few minor compromises, we feel these could easily be justified when looking at some of the many pros this pushchair offers.

Independent Travel to Moscow and St. Petersburg

My wife and I have traveled independently to many European countries and, after reading many of the comments in this forum, feel like we may be able to do so in Moscow and St. Petersburg as well, although we feel somewhat less comfortable than the other countries where we have traveled in Europe.

My biggest question is how much we will miss by visiting the main sites without a tour guide. In the other European countries we have visited on our own we have been comfortable and satisfied with the level of knowledge we have gained by studying and visiting on our own, although we believe a tour guide or tour company in any country would normally be able to provide greater insight than visiting a site on our own, but about in Moscow and St. Petersburg?

Any thoughts would be appreciated.

Unless you speak at least some Russian and read the alphabet it would be difficult without a guide. Very few signs in English especially in Moscow. Also not too many people speak English there.

I visited St Petersburg last Autumn for a protracted period , and did not find it anymore daunting than any other European city . As Ilja says , learning the Cyrillic alphabet is a big plus . I also found that it was fairly easy to grasp . It will , among other things , enable you to read signs with relative ease . I would answer the main part or your question ( about tour guides ) thus - I am not enamored of tour guides or tours. While I only use a tour under duress ( A sites rules prohibiting an independent visit - ie Glasgow School of Art , Municipal House in Prague , etc ) . Doing your own preparation and homework is the best way , in my opinion . My wife and I ventured through St Petersburg with nary a concern ,and made two day trips outside of the central district ( one was twenty five miles away , and no English speakers in sight ) Figuring out the logistical details , did not present any difficulties . While I never use tours , I am an inveterate eavesdropper , have done so many times , and find , that on balance , the information that they impart is fairly elementary . If you want greater detail , they are unlikely to supply it . I also prefer to go at my own pace , not being rushed and being able to dwell on things that most other visitors barely give a passing glance . If you are interested , let me know . I would be happy to provide you with information that will enable you to travel independently

Thank you, Steven. I am encouraged by your comments and feel the same way you do about tour groups. We are very much willing to prepare in advance and learn the basics of the Cyrillic alphabet to help us have a better experience.

I would be very interested in learning more about your experience in Russia and receiving any additional information you can provide on independent travel there, starting perhaps with obtaining the visa.

I am not opposed to hiring a private or small group guide for a specific site or for a day trip outside St Petersburg and Moscow, but, like you said, I much prefer the freedom of staying at places as long or short as I want and seeing the sites that interest me most. For example, neither my wife nor I are big into shopping, yet most tour itineraries leave afternoon time for just that. Not interested!

Please provide whatever you may feel would be helpful for us.

Russ , I see you are quite near San Francisco - you can start by looking at the VISA procedure , it's fairly straightforward . Since there is a consulate in San Francisco - look here http://www.consulrussia.org/eng/visa-sub1.html

Having always traveled independently, we thought we could do a better job than any tour. How misguided (pun intended) we were. Now that we have had the experience of having someone native to the area walk us around and explain things through a personal perspective we realize how much we missed. For St. Petersburg I highly recommend http://www.peterswalk.com/tours.html . This is not a traditional guided tour, but an opportunity to receive some orientation to the area as well as insight into the "Russian soul". I think if you did this upon arrival the rest of your time would be much more meaningful. We really liked the http://www.pushka-inn.com . The location is superb (just around the corner from the Hermitage square), the rooms lovely, the included breakfast at the restaurant next door ample and overall an excellent value. We used this company to get our visa: https://www.passportvisasexpress.com/site/san_francisco_customer_service Note that it costs about the same for a 3-year visa as a one-year, and you never know if you might want to return within that more extended window of time. It is not cheap, so factor that into your planning.

If you like traveling without a guide in other countries and find this satisfying, the same will be true in Moscow and St. Petersburg. Of course it's not either/or - you can certainly take a guided walk or boat tour, for instance.

I cannot emphasize enough the importance of learning Cyrillic if you're going on your own. The book I used was Teach Yourself Beginner's Russian Script, which was great. It breaks down the alphabet into letters that are the same as English, letters that look the same but are pronounced differently, etc. It's out of print, but you can get used copies on Amazon: http://www.amazon.com/Teach-Yourself-Beginners-Russian-Script/dp/0071419861/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1459701143&sr=8-2&keywords=teach+yourself+russian+script

Russia is indeed a bit more "foreign" than say, Italy. However, in Moscow and St. Petersburg, I found enough English to be able to get by. Many restaurants had English menus and/or English speaking staff, for instance. This was most emphatically not true in Vladimir and Suzdal (two cities in the Golden Ring outside Moscow). I went with my sister, a Russian speaker, and if she hadn't been there, I would have been in big trouble. So, if you want to see places outside these two big cities, use a guided tour (even if just for that part). Also, Moscow and St. Petersburg are huge cities. Coming from New York, I wasn't intimidated, but those not used to a megacity may not be so cavalier (even I found them overwhelming at times, especially Moscow).

I found both Lonely Planet and Rough Guide to be helpful, and both to have various errors. Look at both, buy whichever one has a more recent edition, and then be prepared to have to discard some of the advice therein. Also, these places change more quickly than places in Western Europe. Be very careful of outdated advice. For instance, I was there in 2001 and 2010, so I won't give you any specifics on getting a visa - that changes constantly.

Just as a teaser, two things I saw and loved that I doubt would be included in any escorted tour are the Gorky House in Moscow (an Art Nouveau wonder) and the Sheremyetov Palace in St. Petersburg (it's now a museum of musical instruments, and the decor is amazing, particularly in the Etruscan Room).

Thanks for all the good advice. Any additional thoughts are welcomed.

One of history's seminal works pertaining to Russian history and culture and a MUST for anyone contemplating a visit or simply interested , is this fine work from 1980 - http://www.amazon.com/Land-Firebird-The-Beauty-Russia/dp/096441841X

This is about you and not about Petersburg. Do you like guided tours? We don't and didn't find that a guide added to our experience in China where we did hire private guides mostly for the logistics; it was easy to have someone drive us places. But once at a site, we didn't need the guide. I felt the same way about our 9 nights in Petersburg. We did hire a guide for the trip to the Catherine Palace again for the ease of logistics for us Olds. Here is our visit: https://janettravels.wordpress.com/2016/01/23/an-easy-trip-to-the-catherine-palace/ There are also snapshots of the Church on Spilled Blood in this photo journal. Having someone pick us up at the apartment and get us in without line ups and shepherd us through the palace steering clear of the tour groups was lovely. But we didn't need commentary because we can read and prepare.

You certainly don't need a guide for the Hermitage (we spent 4 days there), the Russian Museum, the Kazan Cathedral or Church on Spilled Blood or the Faberge Museum. We enjoyed a number of self guided walking tours including a couple from Rick Steves guidebooks. We took the canal cruise suggested by RS that had an English commentator. I would not take one without that as you will be totally clueless. The commentator was not all that good but at least we had some idea what we were seeing. So for people like us who like to do our own thing and can read a guidebook and don't particularly like to be led about, a tour is not needed. If you enjoy tour groups, then go for it. Petersburg is easy to negotiate. It helps if you can read the cyrillic alphabet and it is also useful to have the google translate ap on your phone. We found ourselves translating packages in grocery stores with it and the occasional museum sign or menu. I have one food I need to avoid and so it was handy to have the translator to talk with waiters (I could either show them the sentence, or play it for them or play it to myself and then repeat it to the waiter -- that all worked well)

Dear Russ, I cannot help you with Moscow, but about four years ago, my husband and I went to St Petersburg on our own. But, we did use a private guide for 4 half days. We both feel that our guide absolutely made our trip (we stayed 6 or 7 nights). We used a company owned by Tatyana Chiurikova, www.tour-stpetersburg.com I cannot say enough good things about her and our experience. I emailed her and we worked out a schedule/ sights that was tailored to our interests. She also offered some recommendations, which we took. The guide will meet you at your hotel. And frequently, at certain places, with the guide, we were able to skip the long entrance lines. We had an half day driving tour of the city (car, driver, & guide). You are taken to & go in places such as Peter & Paul Fortress, some of the cathedrals, etc. We had a half day with the guide at the Hermitage which ensured that we would see the major sights there. And, of course, you can stay after your guide leaves or return another day. Also, we had the guide for Peterhof (a must & go by boat) and Catherine's Palace. I hope that you will go to the website. As I said, our guide made our trip. I am positive that we would have missed quite a bit on our own everyday. And I'm sure we would have wasted a lot of time trying to get to various place.This was the best of both worlds, a guide where needed and plenty of time on our own. Whatever you do, I'm sure that you will love St Petersburg! Ashley

I am curious about the lines as we encountered no lines on our trip -- but it was in September. We got tickets for the Hermitage at machines and skipped those lines and our guide for the Catherine Palace which was our only guided experience (as noted before, chosen for the logistics of getting there) had arranged tickets and we didn't have a line, but then we also didn't see lines. We did not find lines at any other site.

Both Moscow and St Petersburg I've done on my own, that is together with the Dear Partner. I can't remember any problem getting where we wanted to go. The Metro systems are well signed, and with a little exercise and patience you can recognize the station names. With a good map and a good guide - we had the Rough Guides - that part of the logistics is solved. The language is a major problem, but the usual tricks of pointing, looking helpless, and making a joke of it all do wonders. I would hate to be led by a guide, but for others it is a comfortable thought.

We also did both cities on our own. I found the DK Eyewitness guide for Moscow has the best map. I used the one from our library (kept the book at home). Took the smaller RS book for St. Petersburg ( his book on northern cities). His map and restaurant ideas were all good. We also downloaded the Google maps in our Android Samsung tablets/phones for both cities and then could get directions to any place we typed in. The blue ball guided us everywhere. I'm sure we missed somethings by not having a guide, but we just enjoy walking around and getting a sense of a place. If you like art, The Hermitage is great. We went 3 times and still missed alot. In St. Peterburg we stayed at the 3 Mosta which we loved (quite and not far from the Church of Spilled Blood.) We also loved the Georgian food in both cities. There's a great Georgian restaurant near the 3 Mosta hotel. We're now in Belarus- very scenic. Enjoy your trip!!
