The birth of a child is not only a holiday, but also new chores, among which, in particular, the purchase of children's clothing, furniture and, of course, a stroller. A good stroller makes life much easier for parents, and besides, it is a fairly long-term investment, so you should carefully choose it.
Which stroller to buy?
Modern strollers of any type have their own pros and cons. The main choice comes down to two options - a transforming stroller and a variety of classic strollers.
The main disadvantage of three-in-one strollers is the small size of the main cradle.
The advantages of a transformer stroller include its versatility. From such a stroller, you can unfasten unnecessary parts, making the stroller much easier, or, on the contrary, add the missing ones. The handle of the transforming stroller can be easily thrown in any direction, so that it can be turned in any direction, which is sometimes necessary, for example, to turn the child to face you, hiding him from the wind. Convertible strollers are suitable for any occasion, they fold easily without taking up too much space. Plus, convertible strollers are usually not too expensive. However, they are quite heavy, they can break due to the complexity of the design.
A variety of classic strollers called "three in one" is often confused with transformers. The frame of such a stroller allows it to be folded without any problems, the portable cradle can be easily replaced with an infant car seat or a walking block. The frame of the stroller folds easily, takes up little space, easily fits into the trunk of the car. Modular strollers are taller, lighter and more spacious than transformers, which is why their main disadvantage is their high cost.
If the width of the stroller is 60 centimeters or less, it will easily fit through any door. There will be no problems with dragging her into the elevator either.
Important elements of a baby stroller
When choosing a stroller, it is very important to pay attention to the frame material. The steel frame is much heavier than the aluminum one, but the latter is easier to deform. The weight and dimensions of the stroller must be taken into account. Going in search, ideally, you need to measure the elevator with a tape measure so that you can check at any time whether the stroller you like will enter it. If there is no elevator in your house, pay attention to the weight of the stroller, whether you have enough strength to drag the chosen option to your floor every day. The more "bells and whistles" the stroller has, the heavier it is. There are strollers that the average woman simply cannot lift off the ground, in which case the question of lifting her to the third floor simply does not arise.
Wheel size is also an important factor when choosing a stroller. It is best to choose a stroller with large, sturdy wheels. They do not get clogged with snow, do not get stuck in slush and behave well on potholes and bumps, of which there are so many on domestic sidewalks. Large wheels create less shaking, loosening and squeaking less often. But at the same time, unfortunately, they are much heavier than small wheels, which can cause certain difficulties.
