Every parent hesitates to make the choice of a stroller so that it is comfortable for both the baby and its use. What details you should pay attention to when buying a stroller, read this article. If your first child will be born soon, then you have probably already thought about what kind of stroller to buy. Of course, it is very difficult to make the first choice without knowing all the pros and cons of a particular type of stroller. Sellers can advise what is more expensive, but you can only choose a stroller that is really suitable for you. Our article will help you make this difficult choice.
Personally, before choosing a new stroller, I did not even think about some questions that could help me make my choice in favor of this or that stroller. So:
1. Availability of an elevator
Some strollers can only fit in the lift if there is a foldable handle, and some don't fit at all. Can you count on someone to carry your stroller? At the same time, pay attention to the weight of the stroller, taking into account the weight of the child. As for the weight of strollers, in summer it is 4-4, 5 kg, in winter - 10-19 kg. It all depends on the materials and equipment of the stroller: a cross-over handle, solid rubber wheels and a "winter" box.
Then it might be worth opting for lightweight strollers with a foldable handle. It will take up very little space and you will be able to transport it in public transport without any problems. It will be especially useful when the baby learns to walk. A small stroller will significantly save space in the apartment and will become a "help" until the child is two years old.
2. Terrain and wheels
For bumpy roads, strollers with large wheels are great. Strollers on small wheels will quickly break down even after long walks on the asphalt, especially since they are very heavy on the go, immobile and noisy. Believe me, strollers with large wheels are much more practical.
Some also argue that inflatable strollers have extraordinary flotation. But you should take into account the fact that if the wheel is punctured, will you be able to pump it up yourself. Strollers on cast wheels do not require pumping and punctures are not so terrible for them.
3. The time of the year and the birth of the baby
If the baby is born in winter, then choose "powerful" strollers with durable material that is able to protect from strong winds. Such a stroller for a newborn should have high sides and a flat flat bottom of the body. Remember what strollers we had as a child? These are the ones who have served faithfully for many, many years. The radius of the wheels of such wheelchairs must be at least 30 centimeters, they can also be cast. The larger the wheel diameter, the easier it will be to overcome pits and bumps. The ride will be smoother and the stroller will wear less.
When buying a stroller, also pay attention to the following details:
- Stroller pockets for mobile phones, toys and other little things.
- Moisture-proof and environmentally friendly materials from which the stroller is made.
- Removable covers for easy machine washing.
- Rear footrest for an older child.
- A sturdy and spacious shopping basket installed at the bottom of the stroller.
- Convenient, squeak-free rocker handle.
- Five-point seat belts.
- A stroller with a car seat will allow you to save on the purchase of a separate car seat.
- Reflective details on the stroller material.
- Bag with fasteners that allow you to conveniently attach it to the stroller itself.
We hope that these tips will help you make the right choice of a stroller so that you can use it for a long time and with convenience!
