Finding the Perfect Stroller: What Type is Right for You?

 

Congratulations on your new arrival! With all the baby gear you need to purchase, a stroller is one of the most important items to have.  It will be used often and you need one to complement your lifestyle. There are many varieties of strollers available today. Below are several key things to keep in mind as you narrow down what kind is right for you and your baby.

 

Stroller for one or two? Will you be purchasing a stroller for one child or two?  There are a variety of different styles of strollers, including single, double and even triple models. If you only have one baby, then the most practical type is the single model. However, if you have two children close in age, it might be more beneficial to have one stroller to fit both. It’ll make trips to the mall a little easier to manage!

 

Where do you store all the necessities? Between the bottles, diapers and extra set of baby clothes in case there is a diaper mishap, you need to make sure you have proper storage to hold it all. Many stroller models feature storage compartments, cup holders and storage baskets perfect for housing her favorite birthday stuffed animal your baby can’t leave home without.

 

Easy does it! Pay careful attention to the weight and dimensions of the stroller. The average stroller today weighs approximately 30 pounds. That’s without your little one and all her essentials in it! Lift the stroller folded for when you are lifting it in and out of your trunk, as well as open when you’re going up those few steps and can’t wait for the elevator. Also take into consideration the profile of the stroller. If it’s big and bulky it may not fit with anything else in your car, even when folded. You will be transporting it a lot and the sleeker the size, the better it will be next to the grocery bags in the trunk.

 

Moves with ease?  Take it for a spin—literally. Does it glide on all surfaces, including concrete, hardwoods and carpet? How does it fare when it’s up against grass at the local park? If you’re like most busy parents, you’ll be steering her stroller with one hand and holding her precious Disney blanket she keeps tossing on the ground in the other, so you’ll need a stroller to keep up with your every move. Make sure it has mobility and can handle all terrains smoothly and with little effort. 

 

            By taking some time and following these simple tips, shopping for a stroller should be an easy and fun experience. Whether or not you are buying it for your little one or for a baby gift, you’ll be armed with the best knowledge you need to make your stroller purchase a great one.
