What Do You Need In A Stroller?
I am a stroller fanatic. I have had A LOT of strollers come through this house. If I haven’t owned them, I have tried them out in the store and checked them out online. You never want to go cheap with a stroller you will be using it very often. If you buy the right stroller one is all you will need.
If you are a stroller novice you will want to read this article, or if you have a pregnant friend or family member pass it along. This is a great what you need in a stroller.
What you need for a newborn:
Because your baby can’t sit up yet, a fully reclining stroller is best, or if you want buy a stroller with a travel system (A car seat, stroller and base). A bare frame that will support your infant car seat.
I love the infant head/neck insert some stroller come with but you can always buy that separately if your stoller doesn’t have one.
What you need for a long term stroller:
A big canopy is a must! To protect your baby from sunlight or weather.
Easy to open and fold Look for something you can do with one hand so you can do it while holding your baby.
Adjustable handlebars are a great feature in a stoller. It is a must have on my list because my husband is very tall and most strollers are uncomfortable for him to push.
Make sure you look for a stroller that meets the American Society Testing and Materials and that is certified by the Juvenile Products Manufacturers Association. Test drive a stroller before you purchase it, wheel it around the store, test the brakes and make sure it will fit in your trunk.
Lastly you can check out Consumer Reports for stroller safety.
