How to find the perfect baby stroller
Any parent will tell you that their stroller is their lifeline to the rest of the world. Without a stroller, most families would be stuck at home, unable to transport their growing family out and about. Some people also find that a walk in the stroller is the only way their child will ever, ever fall asleep. No matter what your reason for using a stroller, whether work or pleasure, it is clear that strollers (or pushchairs, as they are known in Britain), are a mainstay of modern living, an essential tool for the busy parent on the go and the relaxed parent out for a stroll.
Strollers have come a long way in the past decades. You used to be faced with two basic models; either, you went with an oversized pram (short for perambulator), a large black stroller where the baby could lie down, or with a small, flimsy stroller where you would strap you child into a sitting position.
It is important that you find the perfect stroller for your newborn; after all, your stroller is going to be one of the most important and frequently used baby accessories you own.
Strollers come in a wide range of functions to meet the many needs and situations of parents. If you are primarily going to use your stroller while you are out shopping, or want a stroller you can take on trips that can be brought out quickly, you should get a compact stroller. These lightweight strollers are small and fold away quickly and easily. Of course, the drawback is that they are not as sturdy as standard strollers, and will not be as comfortable to push – often, a very light stroller can be hard to make go in the direction you want. If space it not at a premium (you are getting a minivan for the new baby, aren’t you?), you should get a standard or full-size stroller. This will increase the comfort level of you and your baby, and be easier to push around. As a compromise, consider getting a standard stroller and keeping a compact stroller in the car for when you have to run out with your baby for groceries.
If you are a fitness fan or love getting out into the outdoors, then you should definitely look into getting a jogging stroller, also known as a jogger. These strollers have exploded onto the scene in the last few years. The main attraction of these strollers is that they come with large air-filled tires, which will give you a smooth ride over bumpy surfaces. The handlebars are also specially designed to allow you to hold on as you jog behind the stroller. Your baby may not be getting any exercise while you run, but he or she will be sure to enjoy themselves.
You will spend a lot of the next few years behind the handlebars of your new stroller; be sure to take the time to make sure you have the best possible stroller for your child and your lifestyle.
