How to choose the right baby stroller

Written by:  Rex

From the beginning of pregnancy, parents are busy preparing all the necessities for the baby that is about to be born. The process of choosing gifts for your little one is full of fun and expectation, but also a lot of confusion. Unlike clothes, toys, and other daily necessities, strollers are a long-term investment. It is also an object that babies often have close contact with when they are 0-3 years old. For products such as strollers and cribs, you need to be very patient when choosing. However, as inexperienced novice parents, they are often lost in the pile of novel products. Through this article, you can master some experience and methods of choosing a stroller, to save time and effort.

We expect to have a fixed standard or follow a certain formula. Unfortunately, buying a stroller is not as simple as buying bags, toys, and free-size clothes. It is related to the lifestyle of the whole family. Before making a decision, take a minute to think about what it is you are looking for in a baby stroller and what should we pay attention to when choosing a baby stroller.

What to look for in a baby stroller

After a simple Google search, we can know that there are many types of strollers on the market, such as Full-sized stroller, Lightweight or umbrella stroller, Jogging stroller, Double stroller, Car seat carrier, Travel system, etc. As long as you clearly consider this question, you can easily determine the type of stroller you want.

If you are an avid sports enthusiast, there is no doubt that the jogging stroller is tailor-made for you. If you often outing or travel, please take away the travel system. Or what if you just need a simple and portable function, a lightweight umbrella stroller is the best choice. Maybe you will have multiple situations but you can’t meet all of these needs. Then you have to consider what your most frequent lifestyle is. It’s easy to be attracted by the beautiful features and new updates, but remember the important thing: what will I really need from it? You will be very effective to avoid wasting money on unnecessary functions.

What worth noting

  1. Canopy

For babies, having an awning that can prevent wind and rain is one of the basic conditions of a stroller. The size of the awning is related to the shade range and the function of wind protection. Some awnings have an anti-ultraviolet function.

You can also buy a parasol that is fixed on the frame of the stroller separately. It has the function of full direction and height. The advantage is that it can control the direction of sunlight and is more ventilated.

Note: The awning is best designed with a visible window to keep an eye on the baby’s condition.

Seat cushion

The seat cushion can be said to be the closest place to the baby. The design will be tailored differently according to the size of the stroller or the way it is folded. Generally speaking, the seat of the stroller with sitting and lying down function is more spacious and thicker; while the lightweight umbrella stroller is usually supported by a single layer of fabric due to the requirement of lightness.

Note: The cushion is best to be detachable and easy to clean and is made of mesh breathable material. The support of the seat cushion must be sufficient, if the depression is deep, it is not good for the baby’s spine. Also, to protect the baby’s head, you can choose a soft design head cushion.

  • Handle

Can be divided into directional and two-way; The two-way handle can be reversed so that the baby faces the mother, which is usually more suitable for newborns. Some handles can be adjusted for height, which is designed for different heights.

Be careful not to hang other objects on the handle to prevent the stroller from overturning due to an unstable center of gravity.

Take the hot mom stroller as an example. This is a baby stroller from a famous brand in Britain. It features a stylish appearance and exquisite and smooth line design. The high-quality leather fabric has an excellent touch. The hot mom stroller comes with a cradle and a seat. The effective suspension system and large wheels are sufficient to cope with various road surfaces. Two-way implementation, adjustable armrest, and seat height bring great convenience to life. Plus equipped with intimate visual windows and sealed storage baskets. Safety is more secure.

Consider the age of the baby

Babies of 0-6 months are sleeping most of the time, so you should choose a baby stroller that focuses on sleep. It is easy to fold and use as a bassinet, preferably with a sunshade. Such as retro strollers, travel systems, and high-view strollers. Semi-recumbent umbrellas and jogging strollers are definitely not recommended at this stage. When your baby is 6-12 months old, the seat mode comes in handy.

Children aged 1-3 are already very active. They are not satisfied with sitting quietly in the stroller. It’s time to change to a lightweight and dexterous umbrella stroller.

Usually, one child needs at least two strollers. Due to the short use time of retro strollers and car seat strollers, we recommend choosing a multifunctional stroller that can sit and lie as the first stroller. If you have no special needs, then an umbrella stroller can be used as a second option.

We cannot fantasy that there is a super stroller that can solve all problems at the same time. It’s not that strollers with more functions are better, so focus more on your needs. When faced with choices, our advice to you is: think twice about your actual situation and needs before making a decision.
