Inglesina Aptica XT Review: Is a Bassinet in the Box Worth $1,299?
Short answer: The Inglesina Aptica XT is worth a look if you want a full-size stroller with a sleep-approved bassinet in the box. Inglesina lists the bundle at $1,299, with a 24.7 lb stroller rated to 55 lb and big 12 in rear wheels. The catch is a small 11 lb basket and a bulky fold.

The Inglesina Aptica XT bundle suits parents who want a newborn to sleep in a proper bassinet and a stroller that rides well on rough ground. Inglesina lists 12 in rear wheels, four-wheel suspension and a seat rated to 55 lb, and the bassinet and stand come in the box. At $1,299 it is not cheap, the basket holds only 11 lb, and few US reviews exist. Inglesina's page lists a $49 car seat adapter but not which seats fit it.
Who is the Inglesina Aptica XT for?
The Inglesina Aptica XT is for parents who want a full-size stroller with a bassinet included. In the US it is mostly sold as a bundle with the bassinet and its stand, which Strolleria lists at $1,299. Strolleria and Dillard's say the bassinet is approved for overnight sleep, so it can double as a bedside bed in the early weeks. The stroller weighs 24.7 lb by both retailers' specs, and the seat is rated to 55 lb, per Dillard's. It is a good fit for families who walk a lot on uneven city sidewalks or park paths. It is a weaker fit if you shop on foot, because the basket is rated to only 11 lb. It does not convert to a double.
How does the Aptica XT ride and steer?
The Inglesina Aptica XT rides on 8.4 in front wheels and 12 in rear wheels, by Strolleria's specs, with four-wheel suspension and what Inglesina calls the Adaptive Cruise System. Dillard's describes never-flat rubber wheels, with larger, slimmer rear wheels to cut friction. On paper, that is one of the bigger wheel setups among full-size strollers in this price range, which usually means a calmer ride over cracks and curbs. No major US reviewer has published a full review that we could find, and Strolleria shows no owner reviews yet, so ride quality is based on specs rather than reports. Dillard's says the slimmer rear tread reduces friction, which should help on long walks. Inglesina does not describe it as suitable for running, so treat it as a walking stroller.

How big is the Aptica XT when folded?
Inglesina lists the Inglesina Aptica XT at 24.7 lb, with the frame alone at 17.4 lb. It gives the folded size as 21.65 in long, 35.4 in wide and 16.9 to 17.5 in deep; the 35.4 in side is most likely the height once folded, so measure your trunk against all three numbers. Inglesina says it opens and folds with one hand with the seat mounted, facing either way, and stands on its own once folded. The bassinet adds 10.8 lb and the stand 4.2 lb. Plan on a mid-size or larger trunk, especially with the bassinet along. It is not an airline carry-on stroller, so plan to gate-check it if you fly.
Is the Aptica XT comfortable and safe?
Comfort is the Inglesina Aptica XT's strength. The included bassinet has inner dimensions of 31.1 x 14.5 in and an adjustable backrest up to 10 degrees, per Strolleria, and is approved for overnight sleep. The reversible seat reclines in four positions down to 150 degrees and is rated to 55 lb, per Strolleria and Dillard's. The canopy has UPF 50+ fabric, a sun visor and five adjustable ventilation windows, with a ventilated side window and double mesh layer, according to the two retailers. The seat backrest is 14.56 in wide and 21.65 in tall, by Strolleria's figures. Harness details and safety certifications were not listed by the retailers checked.
How much storage does the Aptica XT have?
Storage is the weak point. Strolleria and Dillard's both list the Inglesina Aptica XT basket at 11 lb, though Dillard's calls it very large and deep, with reflective detailing. A cup holder comes in the Dillard's bundle. Expect a diaper bag and a few small items to fit, but carry heavy shopping elsewhere. Strolleria lists no parent organizer or snack tray in the bundle, so budget for add-ons if you want them.

The seat is rated to 55 lb, so most children can ride until they no longer need a stroller.
Is the included bassinet a big deal?
For many families, yes. The Inglesina Aptica XT bundle includes the bassinet and a stand, and Strolleria and Dillard's both say the bassinet is approved for overnight sleep. That means a newborn can nap on walks and then sleep beside your bed in the same bassinet, at least in the early weeks. Dillard's notes that experts advise using a bassinet on the stroller for about the first 6 months. Many rivals sell the bassinet separately, so the $1,299 bundle price includes something you would otherwise buy. The bassinet does add 10.8 lb and takes extra trunk space. Check the bassinet's own weight limit with Inglesina, as neither retailer lists it.
