A stroller is one of the most important goods that parents have to buy, because it is very difficult to constantly carry a baby in their arms, especially during walks. The range of such products is large, so it is important to choose the appropriate model, taking into account the child's age and needs.
Choosing the type of stroller
As a rule, the model with a carrycot becomes the very first stroller for a baby. It is convenient to put a newborn baby in it, who still does not know how to sit. Moreover, such a product can be used to rock the baby and give him the opportunity to sleep during a walk. When choosing such a stroller, it is advisable to give preference to a product with a removable cradle, which can be easily removed from the structure and used as a crib.
For older children who already hold their heads well and know how to sit, a stroller with a seat that can be folded back into a mini-bed is more suitable. Sitting in it, the child will be able to observe what is happening while walking, and if he gets tired and wants to sleep, it will be enough just to transform the seat.
If you do not like the prospect of changing the stroller when the baby grows up, choose a transformer model, a 2-in-1 or 3-in-1 product. In the first case, it will be possible to carry the child in the stroller until the time when he learns to walk on his own. Transformers are massive and heavy, but very comfortable. The 2-in-1 model allows you to install either a carrycot or a seat of your choice. The 3-in-1 product allows you to add a car seat to this.
Features of the design of baby strollers
Strollers can be four-wheeled and three-wheeled. The first option is a classic, characterized by stability and massiveness, while the second is famous for its maneuverability and ease of control. There is also a middle ground - a model with a dual front wheel. It is comfortable, stable, safe, easy to operate, suitable for use at any time of the year, and is characterized by increased cross-country ability. If you have chosen a traditional four-wheeled or three-wheeled stroller, remember a simple rule: small wheels are more suitable for summer, and large ones for winter.
When choosing a stroller, be sure to pay attention to its weight and size. It is worth buying massive, heavy, large models only if the young mother always has an assistant who can lift the stroller with the child up the stairs, since the larger the product, the less chance it can be transported by elevator. Women who have undergone a difficult labor or cesarean section should be given preference to a very light, maneuverable, easy-to-use and medium-sized wheelchair.
Finally, it is advisable to purchase a stroller with the ability to change the position of the handle, so that you can either watch the baby when he sleeps, or use the "in the direction of travel" option so that the baby does not look at you, but at what is happening around.
