How To Choose A Baby Stroller – Buying Guide
When we set out to create our list of the 10 Best Baby Stroller of 2020, we wanted to make sure that our recommendations were put through some pretty tough criteria. Here they are:
Handlebar Height
While this may not be the first thing that you will consider when deciding on a stroller, we would kindly ask that you do. When you are shopping, take some strollers for a test drive around the store. Are the handlebars at a proper height? Do you have to bend or stoop? If so, serious back pain is waiting for you! You want to pick the best stroller for baby with handlebars that should work for your height and gait.
Usability
While you may use your new stroller for nice walks around the neighborhood or in the park enjoying the fresh, crisp air with your little one, the reality is that more often than not, you’ll be running errands while using the stroller. Some strollers come with a basket underneath with can be convenient when you need to store your baby’s diaper bag or other items.
Best strollers for babies come with a cup holder and storage spaces on the handlebar, which can be nice to use for keeping your drink, your child’s pacifier or toys. While some 3rd party companies sell clips that can be used to hang shopping bags off the handlebar, you do need to be careful. Too much weight and the stroller could tip backward.
Storage
You’re not going to be using a stroller all the time, but sometimes you’ll need to take it with you when you go out. While it may be true that some families never fold or store their stroller, it’s more than likely that you will carry it in your vehicle or to get it in the house, you’ll need to fold it. Strollers that you have to wrestle to the ground to fold, might not be worth the trouble.
Likewise, if you have a folded stroller that opens even with a light breeze spring, it isn’t a good option, either. Contrary to these, strollers who are too complicated to open are also trouble. The point is, you always want to test your stroller before you bring it home. Try to choose the best stroller that’s easy to fold and unfold and it will make things much easier later on.
Car Seat Compatibility
You’re more likely to find a stroller on the market that you can use as a car seat made by the same company, or in some cases, by different companies. These are known as travel systems and their popularity in recent years has defined growth. Actually, this option is definitely nice to have! Taking your sleeping child’s car seat out of the car and placing it into a stroller is less stressful than accidentally waking her up while moving from car seat to stroller.
Features
While any stroller has the basic features including wheels, a seat and a handlebar, choosing a stroller that may come with some additional options definitely helps! Having a stroller with a bar on the front that can swing open is a nice feature to have so your child can climb in himself once he is old enough. For those that don’t have a bar, it may have a tray for snacks and toys, which can be nice as well. All quality strollers come with wheel locks and harness straps to keep your baby as safe as possible, although a 5-point harness is considered to be the safest. Also, having a removable seat cushion will make it much easier to clean.
Weight
When it comes to a stroller’s weight, the lighter the weight, the easier it will be to push, pack up, carry upstairs and travel with. There are super-lightweight models on the market that can typically weigh between 8 and 10 pounds. These are called umbrella strollers for older babies, though. For a newborn baby stroller, a good weight is somewhere between 11 and 16 pounds. On the high end, prams can weigh up to 40 pounds or more which can be a little much to move around.
Different Stroller Types
There are many different types of strollers out there to choose from. Each of them has their own unique features to benefit from.
All-In-One Travel System
An all-in-one travel system is exactly how it sounds. It is an all-in-one option for those parents who don’t want to spend time or money on different options. The system includes the stroller, infant car seat, and base for your vehicle so you can snap the seat into place.
A travel system is a perfect option for parents on the move. The ability to move your little bundle of joy from car to stroller without removing them from their seat and vice-versa is very beneficial.
Infant Car Seat Carriers
As the name suggests, an Infant Car Seat Carrier is tailored more towards being a suitable option for those parents who may have an infant car seat from a manufacturer that doesn’t offer a travel system option or may have a hand me down seat. Most Infant Car Seat Carries are universal, meaning that they can fit infant car seats from several different brands.
Joggers
A jogging stroller can be seen as more of a heavy-duty stroller. It comes with 3 air-inflated tires with shock absorbers that are a major improvement over a typical stroller. However the weight increases between 23 and 31 pounds. These types of strollers aren’t intended for everyday use such as taking your precious baby on a walk but rather marketed towards those parents who enjoying jogging and would like to bring their little one with them.
Umbrella Strollers
Named for its ability to fold compactly, an umbrella stroller will likely be one of the two strollers that you buy once you have a baby, the other being a regular full-size infant stroller. Touted for its convenience, an umbrella stroller is a light, compact stroller that can easily be put into the trunk of your vehicle.
Tandem Strollers
Parents who have twins prefer tandem strollers. They accommodate 2 babies at the same time, without reducing quality or safety. Some manufacturers even offer an option for triplets or quadruplets if needed.
FAQ
Q: What type of stroller is best for a newborn?
A: Choosing the stroller that offers a car seat and is lightweight is essential for a newborn. The stroller should also offer safety harnesses for your kid and should be made of comfortable material. Different reclining positions should also be available so that you can rest your little baby in a comfortable position that he desires.
Q: Can you use a stroller for a newborn?
A: Yes, you can use a stroller for a newborn but you have to make sure that the stroller can fully recline as the newborn babies are unable to hold their heads up. Also, the stroller should have a little pillow just in case your baby needs an extra lift up.
Q: What are the benefits of a baby stroller?
A: You will be pleasantly surprised to learn about the benefits of a stroller for baby.
Transportation: When your child is firstborn, you will want to hold your little one in your arms as much as possible and look down on them with love and affection. But, as babies tend to do, they grow and add weight, which over time can put a strain on your body, especially your back. Using a stroller to transport your baby from one place to another does not only offer health benefits to you but also a comfortable atmosphere for your little one.
Soothing: If you look upon the internet on how to help your baby sleep, some will cite car rides as a way to help your little one to nod off to dreamland. While this is true, not everyone can just jump in their car to do this. You could think of a stroller as a low-tech option for this. The motion created when using a stroller creates a soothing motion to help a fussy baby feel better and possibly take a nap while you take them on a ride around the neighborhood or to a park.
Safety: Using a stroller is the safest way to take your baby out for the day or even for a quick walk around the neighborhood. Unlike strollers in the past, current models offer parents the reliability that comes with a protective frame and safety harness. Most quality strollers on the market come with a 5-point harness, which is the highest safety standard.
Exercise: Pregnancy causes your body to go through a lot of changes, including weight gain. This isn’t strictly limited to new moms though. Studies show that dads can gain a good amount of weight during their significant others’ pregnancy, too. Having a stroller can help you fight against the extra pounds help you start exercising again.
Durability: One of the most amazing benefits of the best stroller is how durable they are. With many parents, you may see them using the same stroller for a second child or even giving it to a family member or friend. This is due to the quality construction that goes into a baby stroller. Most strollers are compliant with the most stringent safety standards. Being made from a strong and durable material, they can be considered a long-lasting product with a frame that can keep your child safe from external influences. Side impact protection systems are featured on many baby strollers on the market. These offer your kid protection on every side of the stroller. They can also protect them from other environmental conditions.
