Useful Baby Stroller Buying Guide
When it comes to baby strollers, you may be overwhelmed by the amount of options and accessories available. In this article, we’re going to help you understand the different types of strollers and the benefits of each.
1. Travel System – Car Seat/Baby Stroller Combination
These kinds of baby strollers are great for infants and through the first couple of years of your baby’s life. The car seat fits into the stroller frame and then, later, you can use the stroller with it’s own seat on its own. As far as weight is concerned, these strollers usually weigh more than other strollers, but for the extra features you get the extra weight is generally worth it.
2. Traditional Stroller Model
These stroller models are ideal for traveling and can look like a basic umbrella stroller or lightweight specialty branded stroller. They are lightweight and fold down easily,but these types of strollers aren’t made for newborns. For a newborn you would be better off looking for a classic pram.
3. The Classic Pram
A classic pram is basically a bassinet with wheels. They are built specifically for newborns, and after the first three months, you won’t get much use out of them. As far as safety goes, a classic pram is safe enough for newborn babies and have oversized wheels for stability and smooth running.
4. Specialty Strollers
Specialty strollers are great for specialty needs. Jogging strollers, which are strollers that have three wheels for added stability, are often used by people who need to run with their babies because they love to exercise. Tandem strollers, which are made for more than one baby, can safely accommodate more than one child without any danger. Sit and stand strollers allow one baby to be in a seat while the other is in a standing position. This kind of stroller is useful for people that have both babies and toddlers.
You should really be considering safety options when you’re looking at strollers. Also, consider the maneuverability of the stroller itself.
