How to Select a Stroller
Strollers are a baby's best friend--they allow parents to easily transport their children around town or go on adventures in the great outdoors or navigate the crowded malls. But choosing the best stroller for your child and family's needs is essential for a smooth ride. Consider the location and frequency you'll use the stroller to select one that is suitable for you. Do you need it to travel on tough terrains, fit in a compact car trunk or navigate narrow doorways? Consider whether you will be walking in the city or hiking in the woods. After you've chosen the type of stroller and features you'd like to have you can try several models.
Begin by running a few laps in the parking lot. This will help you become accustomed to the way it handles. If you'll be using it to jog, check the wheels for wear and check how they roll over bumps and uneven sidewalks. Consider if you'd like a basket to store your essentials or a reclining chair for newborns. Make sure that the handlebars fit your stride comfortably and there is enough space for an infant of your size in the seat.
Next, if you're planning to have more children in the near future, think about investing in a single stroller that converts into a double, or allows you to add a stroller board (for toddlers). Babylist parents tell us that one of their biggest regrets with strollers is not buying a convertible model when they had the chance.
If you're planning to use the stroller in rain or other weather conditions consider accessories such as sun canopy and rain covers that can be quickly and easily connected. And don't forget about safety--check for a five-point harness system that is easy to buckle and unbuckle as well as a safe seat and robust brakes. Examine the hinges for sharp edges or places where a finger might be caught. Check that the stroller meets the safety requirements of your state and local laws. Finally, try it out with your child to ensure you're both in a good place.
