But did you think about how to choose the right baby stroller? This choice is very responsible, it will depend on your overall comfort, ease of movement and child safety. The stroller, which is convenient for you and for the baby, will bring many pleasant minutes in the fresh air.
When choosing a stroller, do not pay attention only to its appearance. Even if you purchase an expensive and high-quality product, it may not suit your conditions. To avoid disappointment, which will occur after several exits with the baby, choose a stroller with a mind. Pay attention to a number of things that surround you.
If you live in an apartment, then the most difficult for you will be the path from her door to the exit from the entrance. Think about how you will overcome the ladder. If you live higher than on 1-2 floors, and your house does not have an elevator, you need to try to get the lightest possible baby carriage. Even if in the store you thought that lifting the stroller is quite appropriate for your forces, do not forget that the child will grow older. The total weight of the cargo will increase by 10-12 kg. Residents of the lower floors can choose the stroller with a removable cradle in which you can carry the baby separately.
It's easier if there is an elevator in your house. You just need to remember its size and width, which opens the elevator doors. Otherwise, you risk that the stroller will not pass through the elevator door or there will not be enough room for maneuvers inside. It's unlikely that you will want to fold-lay out a stroller during each visit of the elevator. Therefore, during a shopping trip for a stroller, it is useful to grab a tape measure.
You will have to use transport, no matter what, personal or public. This means that the stroller should be convenient and quickly folded. Here it is necessary to take into account, how much the carriage will compactly develop, whether it will fit into the trunk, whether it will interfere with other passengers in transport.
In addition to the dimensions of the stroller, we must pay attention to its stability. Try to shake the wheelchair from side to side, tilt it, check if the wheelchair will turn over if you hang a bag with food on the handle. Carriages with a metal frame are always stronger and durable than plastic. The big influence on stability and maneuverability of a carriage has the size of wheels. The more they are, the better. A stroller with large wheels is more convenient to lift up the stairs. The material from which the wheels are made is not principled.
Check the braking system of the stroller, your child's safety depends on it. All the details with which the stroller can be completed should be easily removed and dressed without the help of additional tools. What details provide convenient use of the stroller? Additional pockets for all sorts of things, a toy net, a handle. However, do not forget that too many all kinds of accessories usually means that some of them will eventually break or interfere.
A stroller must have a warm winter cover for the top and an insulated child's leg cover. In poor weather, the child must be protected from dampness and wind.
Experience shows that parents usually have to buy two strollers: a combined stroller and a stroller. The latter is very convenient for trips in public transport. Of course, a newborn baby will have enough of one stroller for the first time, but when he grows up and learns to sit, an easy stroller you will need.
A stroller for a baby is better to take a fairly spacious one, so that there is space for "growth". Children grow quickly. After 6-8 months after birth, a child often needs to get a new stroller, because in the former he is already cramped. There are several recommendations on how to choose the right wheelchair for a toddler. Such children are already very mobile and often fall out of the stroller. Completely prevent such cases is not always possible, but you can reduce the trauma if the seat of the stroller will be located closer to the ground. The stroller must have a high bead. In any case, the child should be difficult to get out of the wheelchair independently.
Usually, each of the parents has an opinion on how to choose the right stroller. Alone, it's harder to remember everything you need to consider when choosing a stroller. Moreover, my mother usually understands better how functional and convenient in use will be the stroller, and the pope will more competently assess its technical characteristics. It is better to buy such a serious thing for a baby together.
