You have a baby. Now you need a way to transport the little tyke all around the town, in shopping malls and in the park. You also need something to take them with you on walks around your neighborhood. There is a solution. This solution is a baby stroller. There are so many different types of baby strollers, where do you start? The first place to start is by knowing what the different features are that will be available on these strollers. Lets take a look at some of these.
If your arms get tired from being in the same position for long periods of time, you will want a height adjustable handle bar on the stroller. The handle can be adjusted either up or down. You can find the most comfortable position for you. After a while you can change the position of the adjustable handle on the stroller to prevent fatigue.
Depending on how old your baby is will depend on what type of stroller to use. You can get a stroller specifically made just for infants. But why do that when manufacturers make these things so they can grow along with your child. Why spend the money on 2 different ones when for a few extra dollars, you can buy just one. Some infant strollers will receive an infant car seat and can also be used as an infant carrier.
Next, make sure that your baby will stay put. The belt restraining system should keep baby secure in the stroller, but not let your baby be able to get out of the straps. You do not want to go for a walk and have your baby fall out on the sidewalk.
If money is tight, a used stroller can be used. Make sure it is in good working condition. Check every inch to make sure there are no missing parts. Run your hand all along the thing and see if there are any sharp edges that can injure your child. The restraining belts should not have any tears in them or be worn to the point of breaking. If this used stroller has a reclining back, make sure it reclines. Also make sure when you put the reclining seat up, it will stay there with the babies weight pushing on it.
Another thing to consider when purchasing a stroller are replacement parts. Are replacement parts going to be available if something happens to break. Are these parts going to be easy to install myself. A lot of todays strollers have the seat portion that can be removed and used in the car. All you need is an extra base. You do not want to spend you hard earned money on something that is not going to last or can not be fixed.
Consider your new baby stroller purchase carefully. Make sure it comes with everything you will need. If buying a used one, make sure it is in good condition.
