The Importance of Your Baby’s Wheels: How to Choose the Right Baby Stroller
How will you know which stroller is right until you have used it for a little while? Here are some tips for making a sensible choice.
Keep in mind:
• How much walking you do and where
• How many children you have
• Portability
• The terrain you expect to cover
• Whether you run or walk
• The age of your baby
This is just a start, but let this article guide you through the process of shopping for your baby's wheels.
How old is your baby?
A heavy stroller with adjustable seating positions is perfect for a tiny tot who will grow up. Your baby might lie down, sit up or be in a partially reclined position. As time goes on, some strollers make it easy to swap the newborn base for one that is suitable for an older infant. Padding is also removable so that you can wash it.
If you are getting a stroller for a baby who likes sitting up, the stroller does not need to be heavy or as adjustable for simple trips to the mall.
Where are you strolling?
If, however, you want to go for long walks in the park or on gravel trails, a light umbrella stroller is not going to be much help. The wheels are too small to handle anything other than flat ground, and that type of stroller lacks the necessary weight and maneuverability. Stick with a heavier item that has comfortable handles (there are bar handles and also curved, separate handles, either of which is a matter of preference). Look for one with shock absorption so your baby has a comfortable ride. A clip-on tray is also handy for an older baby to snack during your walk.
Wheels should be able to be locked in place or be free to move around so you can take maneuver comfortably. Do you plan to take this stroller for a run instead? If so, then most joggers find the three-wheeled stroller ideal. This enables them to keep up speed and take corners without slowing down. The carriage is still enclosed and can be adjusted for a baby at different age and sizes. There are also double strollers best suited for mothers with two children.
Portability
Before buying a stroller, try folding and unfolding it with one hand while holding your baby in the other arm. Try this a few times to get a feel for how the process will really be like in a parking lot when you are under pressure. No catalog truly reflects what one-handed stroller folding feels like.
