Buying a stroller for a new or second-hand baby is a very important matter, as this vehicle will accompany your child for the first 12-18 months of his life. To choose a stroller it is worth considering carefully and make this purchase in advance. The stroller should be not only comfortable for the child, but also for the mother. So how do you choose a stroller to carry your happiness?
Firstly, in order to avoid the subsequent sales-purchases of the vehicle, it will be better if the stroller is a transformer and will be adapted to any age of the baby. It's impossible to tell when your baby starts to sit steadily and when he needs to refuse from the standard cradle. And it may happen that at a time when the baby can not sit still two seasons, and you will have to change the carriage to warm or light. The stroller-transformer combines the accessories for any transportation conditions.
Secondly, it is necessary to draw attention to the materials from which the wheelchair is made. Try to abandon the plastics in the support system, it is short-lived. It is better to stop on dyed metallic supports, in our time they are made lightweight, but resistant to damage.
The fabric material of the stroller should be easy to wash, resistant to moisture, and the fabric on which the baby should lie should be easily removed for washing. If you do not fundamentally tell everyone that you have a child with a certain sexual identity, it is better to stop at the neutral color of the fabric material. These are all colors except red and pink, as well as blue and blue. Such a wheelchair will be easier to sell, you're not going to keep it all your life, like a bright memory?
If the cradle is attached to the stroller, it is not bad, thus, it facilitates the transfer of the child to the floor. However, this is not a very important element, often, this device is quickly abandoned. In summer it is hot in it, and it is not safe to carry a child in a trap without an upper fastening. In winter, the baby can be inadvertently due to thick clothes and bedspread.
Almost all modern strollers are equipped with handbags for carrying things of the child. Such a bag should be easy to remove without the transformation of the stroller, it is easy to open and close. It is not necessary to assign great importance to the many compartments in such a handbag, which is sufficiently single, but spacious and open to the eye, so that it is easy to find the right thing. Plus, there will also be a special pocket for the bottle, which will keep it inverted and will not let the baby's dinner spill.
By the way about the devices for carrying things in wheelchairs, we can say that it will not be superfluous to have a baggage compartment at the bottom of the stroller. Although, this device, rather, is more useful for the mother, rather than for the child. A bag with products and three-dimensional toys can be transported there. So that your things in the luggage compartment do not get dirty during the rainy season, let this compartment not be in the form of a lattice basket, asplastic, made of plastic or fabric.
Also, sometimes in the stroller there is a pocket that is located on the back of the outside. This pocket will help you to unload the front bag. It can store things that you use from time to time, for example, a mosquito net for a stroller or a spare cap for a baby, while a handbag is more suitable for carrying things that you regularly use during a walk (bottles with water or milk, diapers, wet wipes).
It will be fine if the kit includes a sneaker and a mosquito net. These devices can now be purchased separately, but it is better if they are already attached to the stroller, as the dimensions will be adjusted exactly to your model. Let the baby's walk do not disturb the rain, or annoying gnats!
If the summer time is behind, pay attention to whether the wheelchair has a winter insulated lining. It is fastened so that it closes the legs and part of the child's body from rain and cold wind. Note whether it will be easy to put or take the child out of the stroller for the sake of such a device. Ideally, if you do not need to completely remove the overlay, but, for example, simply unzip.
The safety of the child is concerned about our mother, which means it's time to check our wheelchair for safety. First, pay attention to the small details inside the stroller - they should not be. All buttons, buttons and zippers should only be on the outside, any adjustments to the position of the stroller too.
Your vehicle should be equipped with length-adjustable seat belts, as in the present car. The attachment must be such that the child can not unfasten it. Soft lining on the straps will also be welcome, because many children are terribly restless and can erase the straps of the skin on their shoulders. Although, this is a feature for transporting children from year to year, infants usually do not fasten.
Pay your attention to the handwheel that the baby will hold onto. It should be a strong and upholstered fabric. Metal handrails though look reliable, but they are very hot in the sun and can cause discomfort to the baby. In addition, on the handrail should be fastened the latch, connecting it with the bottom of the stroller, so as not to let the baby get out from below.
If your child sleeps during the walk, the unconditional dignity will be the presence of the bending end part of the bottom of the stroller - this will protect your baby from falling out when the brake is applied. At the same time, the change in the position of the end part of the bottom should be driven by the removal of a certain limiter.
Soon the child will start to sit, then you need to turn your eyes to the stand for the legs. To us we will present all the important requirements: strength and ability to remove them. If your child is calmly sitting in a wheelchair, contemplating the world, this does not mean that one day he will not want to stand on his feet, having fled for delivery. You must be sure that it will withstand.
The next, and probably one of the most important points that I would like to touch is the possibility of adjusting the child's posture. Let your stroller have 4 levels of fixing the position of the child: recumbent, semi-recumbent, semi-sitting and sedentary. The reclining level is designed for sleeping a baby. Small children easily fall asleep on fresh air, and can do it in any position, however, let it be natural. The semi-recumbent level is ideal for drinking from a bottle, as well as to see not only the sky, but also the mother. Semisidic level helps the baby to sit, and the sitting one will be suitable for the time when the baby himself confidently will keep the backrest.
A stroller is an important purchase, so let it serve you long and well, to you and the most important passenger! Walking is always happiness when it's convenient for both mom and baby!
