The choice of a Stroller

Strollers are the best friend of parents. They allow parents to easily transport their children around town, discover nature or navigate busy shopping malls. However, selecting the right stroller for your child and your family's needs is vital to ensure a comfortable ride. Consider where and how often you will use the stroller to select one that is suitable for you. Do you need it to travel on difficult terrains and fit into a small car trunk or maneuver through narrow doors? Consider whether you will be walking in the city or hiking in the woods. After you've decided on the type of stroller and features you'd like to have you can try various models.

Begin by doing some laps around the parking lot. This will allow you to get used to how it handles. If you plan to use it for jogging, test the tires for durability and test out how well they move over bumps and uneven sidewalks. Choose if you'd like a storage basket for essentials or a reclining chair for babies. Make sure the handlebars fit your stride comfortably and there's enough room for the child of your size to sit in the seat.

If you're planning to have more children in the future you might want to consider a single stroller that can be converted into a double stroller or a stroller board for toddlers. One of the most common stroller regrets for Babylist parents is not buying a convertible model.

Finally, if you'll be using the stroller during rain or other conditions that aren't ideal consider accessories such as sun canopy and rain covers that can be swiftly and easily connected. Be sure to consider safety. Look for a five point harness system that is easy to buckle and unlock as well as a safe seating position and robust brakes. Examine the hinges for any sharp edges or areas where fingers could get stuck. Check that the stroller meets the safety requirements of your state and local laws. Then, test it out with your child to make sure that you both feel comfortable.
