Choosing a Baby Stroller

A baby stroller makes it easy to carry your little one when you're on the move. In addition to giving your back an opportunity to rest, it can help you get to where you need to go without being overwhelmed by the weight of all your equipment.

Find products that are large enough to accommodate infants with a reclined seat that is almost flat (newborns still need neck support). Some come with a bassinet or travel system.

Seating

A stroller's seat is one of the most important features because it's the place where your baby will spend a lot of time. Find a comfortable, wide seat that allows your child to stretch and relax. Some seats recline, which is particularly beneficial for newborns and infants who do not yet have the neck strength to sit up. Some seats also have stowable footrests to provide your baby with a different method of relaxing.

The majority of compact strollers have a tray for children that can be used to store snacks and toys. The best models have an attached tray that can be stowed to the seat's side so you don't have to worry about it falling off when moving. Some jogging strollers have pockets for passengers to stow, which are handy for storing bottles and sippy cups. The pockets are easy for kids to reach and they won't drop their drinks while moving.

It is also worth considering the stroller's restraint system, that will keep your child secure. You'll want to look for a five-point safety harness that's secured at the waist, shoulders and between the legs. The buckles must be easy for adults to fasten and difficult for children to unbuckle. You'll want to try the stroller with your child in it, both open and closed. It should be easy to push and comfortable even on rough terrain.

Some strollers can be used with infant car seats or car seat frames. This makes them an excellent option for families who use public transportation. If you only plan to use the stroller on occasion it is possible to choose a lightweight model with less bells, whistles and features.

When you're shopping for a stroller, take the time to look at the hinges and other nooks and crannies where little fingers may be snagged. Although these accidents aren't common, they do happen, and you don't want to gift your child a fingertip amputation. Also, be aware of how well the stroller folds and ensure it's able to fit into your trunk when folded.

Stores

A stroller is much more than a means to transport your baby. It's also a great way to transport all the things you'll need for your whole family, such as diapers as well as food, toys and much more. That's why it's important to select a stroller that has plenty of storage space to organize everything.

How much storage space you require will depend on your lifestyle and baby's age. For example, if you'll use your stroller for long walks as your child develops into an adult, you'll require more space to store a diaper bag, snacks, extra clothing and water bottles. If you intend to use your baby stroller only for short trips around town, a smaller bag could be enough.

A lot of the best baby strollers come with many storage features built-in. For example, the UPPAbaby MINU includes a spacious storage basket as well as a pop-out sunshade, and one-step brakes. It also has a quick and seamless fold that's simple to operate using just one hand when holding a baby or shopping for groceries.

There are storage options in the form of pockets, running Pram trays, and other attachments. For example, the Bugaboo Organizer is a zip-top bag that can be easily tucked into your stroller to provide space for necessities such as water, snacks, and diapers. It also features insulated bottle pockets and an exterior slip pockets to keep small items such as keys and wallet in reach.

A stroller caddy is another storage option. They're not standard features on every stroller but they can be an excellent way to keep it organised and tidy without adding extra weight or bulk. Some are specifically designed to be compatible with specific models of strollers, whereas others include universal attachments, making them compatible with a variety of strollers.

Other useful storage features to look out for are pockets and side nettings that can be used to store small items, like toys or baby wipes, and not take up space in the basket. A cup holder is an excellent feature since it can help you stay hydrated during your strolls and also keep your hands free while walking with your child.

Style & Colour

For instance, do you require a stroller with a lightweight design enough to fold up and put in your car or do you require one with bigger wheels to navigate bumpy streets? How long do you expect to use it, and do you want a stroller that is easy to clean and maintain?

Some come with a bassinet for infants, while others let you add an infant car seat once your child is ready.

Color is another factor to take into consideration. If you are one of those who are sensitive to gender-biased blue and pink shades, you might prefer to stay clear of them for your stroller.

Avoid hanging bags and other items from the handles, which can cause the stroller to slide backwards. It's best to ensure that the stroller is free of objects that could get caught in fingers of children or create the risk of choking, and always check the brake lever is not in the reach of children.

Make sure that the stroller is equipped with a locking mechanism which prevents it from folding when it's in use. It should be possible to lock the stroller by pressing a button located on the handlebars or dashboard. It's important to register your stroller to ensure that the manufacturer is able to send you any safety alerts.

The fabric of the stroller is important to think about, since children and babies are notorious for making mess. Make sure you choose a stroller that has washable fabric that can handle the snot, baby food, and dirt-stained prints.

If you are planning to use a car seat along with your stroller, think about getting one that has adaptors included or that can be used with adaptors purchased separately. This will let you safely transport your child from the car to the stroller, and return to the car.
