 If you think you have to be stuck at home because of your baby, think again because your best solution can just be an efficient stroller. Nowadays, strollers are perhaps the most convenient and the safest means of taking your baby to places. There are various strollers available in the market for different specific needs and locations: you can purchase an all terrain baby stroller that allows you to go off-road now and then without any problem or a compact city double stroller to go through easily narrow substations. You can get a jogging stroller to have your kid accompany you during your morning jog. The options are endless and as I said before all these strollers have their own benefits.
What Stroller should I choose?
What type of stroller you choose depends a lot on your own needs: if you have a just one baby and you want to keep it that way (after six months of sleepless nights it makes you wonder…) a single seat is just perfect. On the contrary, If you are pregnant and you are planning to expand your family very soon I advise you to opt for a double stroller right away, this will save you more that $300 dollars in the long run.
Similarly, if you have to move your baby for short distances, you can opt for a convenience stroller which is light weight and can be easily folded. However, for longer distances, exercise and walks across the town, a jogging stroller is your best option. For two babies, a side by side double jogging stroller is also available. That is quite useful, if you have two kids to take care of and if you want your babies to interact to each other! Click here to read our double stroller guide.
Before you buy a stroller for your child, there are a few things that you should keep in mind. The information that we are going to share is to help you make the right choice for your infant.
-
Safety belts - Multiple harnets a MUST HAVE. The details and craftsmanship are what makes the difference between a 65 dollars stroller and a 400 bucks jogger- that is quality and safety. There must be proper safety belts and a proper harness system. In technical terms, a three point or a five point harness would be ideal.
- Balanced frame - There is always a chance of a stroller to get imbalanced especially if it is poorly designed. The stroller should have a wide and sturdy frame with a broad footing pad, I suggest Baby jogger new models. Those make the stroller more balanced even if the baby happens to lean over the sides.
- Swivel wheels - Make them more maneuverable in tight spaces but are not efficient for jogging. Brake controls should be perfect and easy to operate and accessible.
- Ease to use? - If you are purchasing a jogging stroller, you should check whether you can maneuver and control the stroller with one hand. You will most likely operate it with one hand only - Bob strollers make the best we have ever tested.
- Easy to fold - In general, most of the dads and moms find themselves going out with their cherubs alone. So, select a stroller that is very easy to fold with one hand. (the other hand is used to hold the babe!!).models from Dreamer design are particularly easy to fold.
- Handlebar - If your stroller has an adjustable handlebar, this is a plus since your boy/girl will grow real fast and having the possibility to adjust it accordingly will make their ride more comfortable.
