Babies do not mind what kind of strollers they have. Instead, it is the parents who go gaga over the many choices they have when it comes to strollers. But choices or not, there are things that parents have to take into consideration when it comes to buying strollers and stroller use, especially when it comes to the safety of your precious angels.
In Buying a Stroller
Always choose a stroller that has a wide base as the wide base allows for greater support. If your baby is fidgety and leans a lot over the sides of the stroller, this wide base becomes handy as it prevents the stroller from tipping over.
If you opt to go for a stroller that has a back that reclines, make sure that the back recliner has locks that will keep its position in place or else you will risk the child falling backwards if the backrest is not locked into position.
Make sure also that the stroller you will be purchasing has safety straps that will keep your baby in place. Some strollers have straps that go around the waist and one between the legs to keep the child from slipping down.
The cover for your stroller should be washable and also hypoallergenic, if possible. Remember, the stroller should be well padded so as to provide the utmost comfort, but not too padded to limit your baby’s movements.
In Using a Stroller
Before you put your baby in the stroller, make sure that the brakes are locked and that the stroller is completely opened and also locked in place. You can check for such by pressing down into the back (if the baby is going to be lying down on his back in the stroller) and seat of the stroller with your hand to make sure that it is totally open. You should also make sure that you keep any part of your child away from the stroller when you fold or unfold the stroller so as not to injure your baby, especially his little fingers.
Always, always strap in your baby when you take him out on his stroller. This prevents him from slipping or falling over. This is especially true if your baby is always squirming.
On uphill streets or inclined streets, always make sure that you lock the brakes of the wheels before you let go of the stroller’s handles, even for a short moment.
