Buying a stroller for twins usually raises many questions from parents. After all, it should be comfortable for both mothers and children. So what should be guided by when making a difficult choice?
Instructions
Step 1
Think in advance in what weather and in what conditions the stroller will be used. It's one thing to drive kids along asphalt paths in a summer park, and quite another to drive kids along a snow-covered wasteland in winter. Based on your requirements, evaluate the maneuverability of the stroller. Pay particular attention to the width of the stroller and the diameter of the wheels. The smaller the width and the larger the diameter, the more maneuverable the stroller.
Step 2
Three types of strollers for twins and twins are widely presented in stores: "transformer" (the position of the seats can be changed), "train" (the seats are located one after another) and "classic" (the seats are located next to each other). Each type has its own pros and cons. So, for example, if a mother goes for a walk every day with a stroller and two babies from the 12th floor, then a "train" is more suitable for her, the width of which allows transporting the stroller in an elevator. For long walks with twins, the "classic" model is more suitable: unlike the "train", in this stroller each child has a good view. However, both the one and the other type belong to the "summer version". But the "transformer" is suitable for all seasons, since not only the seats are removed from it, but also the boxes.
Step 3
Consider the weight of the stroller. For parents of twins, this selection criterion is perhaps one of the most important - after all, the weight of not one, but two children will be added to the weight of the stroller. As a rule, "transformers" weigh more than other options. If the mother does not have a helper, it will be very difficult to lift and lower such a stroller up and down the stairs.
Step 4
Stop at the best price-quality ratio. You can find a stroller for twins in a company store, in the market, and in secondary sales on the Internet. The price will be different everywhere. Which one is adequate? With regard to strollers for twins, the rule works flawlessly: the higher the price, the higher the quality. The stroller undergoes "double" loads, which means that increased requirements are imposed on the quality of spare parts and materials. A cheap stroller starts to break down quickly and usually does not last for years. On average, the cost of an option suitable for long-term use starts from 8500-9000 thousand rubles (the price of a new stroller).
Step 5
When purchasing a used stroller, give preference to well-known brands. Inspect the stroller thoroughly, paying particular attention to joints and moving parts. Be sure to check the wheelchair brake.
