The stroller is the first means of transport for the baby, so its choice must be approached responsibly. If a flat surface and a soft ride are important for a newborn, then for older children there are already strollers, which should be not only comfortable, but also lighter.
Instructions
Step 1
Strollers are designed for children from half a year old when they can already sit confidently, because the backrest in such wheelchairs most often unfolds not completely horizontally, but at a certain angle, which is contraindicated for newborns. Therefore, they are usually bought to replace the classic cradles, transformers or universal ones. They are lighter in weight, and it is more convenient for a child to look at the world around him. There are 2 types of strollers according to the folding mechanism: "cane" - when folded takes an elongated shape and is very compact and "book" - takes up more space, but is more convenient for the child in terms of comfort.
Step 2
There are several parameters to consider when choosing a stroller. If you buy yourself an all-season transport, i.e. you will use it at all seasons of the year, while driving most of it on street roads, it is worth taking models with inflatable wheels. Small plastic wheels simply won't go through snow or mud. The terrain in which you walk is also taken into account, in large cities on asphalt or on rural roads with holes. Many characteristics in the form of a large hood, a folding backrest, a spacious seat play a rather big role and in some cases are more important than the weight of the stroller.
Step 3
If you need a stroller for travel - around the airport, on long journeys or in large stores, then you can consider lighter options that fit well in the trunk of a car and even when transported in public transport do not create inconvenience. These can be simple models without a hood, bumper and folding backrest, but they are lightweight and inexpensive. These include models HAUCK Buggy Go - 4.7 kg, Disney Umbrella Stroller up to 4 kg, etc. There are more expensive options: Maclaren Mark 2 - 3.2 kg, Maclaren Volo - 5.2 kg, etc., but they also have small twin wheels and backrest are not adjustable. They are well suited for summer on a flat road and for short-term use. a small child under one year old often still sleeps on the street, and it is not very convenient to do this in a sitting position.
Step 4
If you still want to buy a stroller in addition to light weight, in which the baby will be more comfortable, you should consider such canes as: CHICCO Buggy Snappy, Jeep Wrangler All-Weather Umbrella, Maclaren Globetrotter, etc., they all weigh about 5 kg, but the backs fold out, there is a hood that protects from the sun and rain, although the wheels are also small.
Step 5
When choosing a stroller, you should pay attention to the handle, there are separate ones, and there are solid ones - who likes what better. Although the separate ones have a drawback - they are inconvenient to carry with one hand. The wheels can also be of different diameters, usually the front ones are smaller and can turn, which increases the maneuverability of the stroller.
