Strollers Buyer’s Guide

Why Buy A Baby Stroller?

We know most parents don’t think it’s necessary to buy a stroller especially soon after giving birth. The most important baby accessory for the first five to six months is actually a baby carrier since it really helps in fostering the important parent-child bond that’s needed for the first five months of giving birth. But as the baby gets older or reaches one year old, the importance of a stroller soon becomes inevitable. At this stage, your baby has grown physically enough to be driven along safely in a baby stroller.

For the sake of your baby’s health, it is advisable to wear the baby for the first 6 months to one year instead of riding them in a stroller. This is because the bouncing and swinging effect of a stroller can contribute to plagiocephaly, or in simpler term, the flattening of the back of your baby’s head. This is true especially if the baby spends more than 4 hours on the stroller in the first few months when the baby’s skull is still soft. This will increase the risks of developing a flattened area in the back of the baby’s head. Thankfully, a baby carrier helps to avoid this risk by allowing you to carry your baby in a parent-facing chest position that helps in taking the pressure off the back of your baby’s head and this helps prevent flattening of the head.

But it’s also worthy to note that baby strollers also come with some benefits when compared to baby wearing.The main benefits of strolling are:

Less tiring – riding your baby in a stroller is not as tiring as wearing the baby on your back.
Helps to soothe the baby – the smooth and gentle stroll can really help in soothing your baby to sleep. This is true especially if you buy a stroller with soft suspensions that offer a bumpy-free and smooth ride.

Safety – since strollers come with a canopy for protecting your baby from harmful rays of the sun, a protective frame together with a safety harness, they offer a far safer environment for your baby as opposed to baby wearing. Baby wearing can be risky in certain situations, for example, you may accidentally spill your baby out of the carrier when you bend over to pick something on the floor or you can accidentally hurt the baby when you’re carrying a long object. But with a stroller, the baby is comfortably out of harms way.

Storage for all your essentials – strollers come with extra large storage baskets that allow you to carry all the stuff you need for both you and your baby.

Physical exercise – strollers offer parents a great opportunity for staying fit and healthy since you’re constantly walking or even jogging while pushing the stroller along. But not all baby strollers are for jogging and so you’ll need a stroller designed for jogging.

Now that we’ve highlighted some of the benefits associated with strolling, it’s time to discuss the different types of strollers available on the market. Of course the type of stroller you choose should be dictated by the needs you have. For example, if you have twins it is wise to opt for a double stroller, if you love jogging while riding the baby then it’s wise to opt for a jogging stroller and so forth. The different types of baby strollers are discussed below:

Standard-size Strollers

These are the most common types of strollers that come with comfortable seats, maneuverable wheels, they also offer ample storage with built-in trays and cup holders and they weigh around 16-37 pounds. Some of the models come with a multi-reclining seat that can be set to a position comfortable enough for the baby. All models come with a seat adapter that’s compatible with most infant car seats.

Car Seat Frame

These are basically frames that allow most car seats to be clicked onto them. They are less expensive as compared to other stroller types, compact in size due to their small dimensions and also very light at only 11 to 16 pounds in weight. They are more suitable for parents who have just given birth and don’t have many things to carry around.

Lightweight strollers

As their name implies, these are designed and built to be as light as possible and this makes them very easy to carry around. They are even more light and compact than the car seat frames, weighing in at only 8-17 pounds. But they also have some shortcomings, for example, they don’t offer seat adapters and this means they can’t be used on babies less than 6 months old. Their smaller wheels also make them less maneuverable especially on uneven terrains.

Jogging strollers

These are specifically designed with the joggers in mind. They have a lockable swivel front wheel that allows for easy maneuvers while increasing stability at higher speeds by locking itself in a front facing position. But more importantly, they come with built-in suspensions that act as shock-absorbers and the tires are big and air-filled to offer smooth and comfortable ride even on rough surfaces. Most of them have a weight ranging from 23-31 pounds.

Double strollers

Double strollers are perfect for parents who have twin babies. They provide two seats side-by-side or in tandem orientation. But since they can cater for two babies does not necessarily mean they weigh twice as much. With weights ranging from 21-36 pounds, they can be ridden along with ease and they are also narrow enough to fit through most doorways. It’s also important to note that the car seat frames come in double versions.

Travel Systems

Unlike the other types of strollers, travel systems can actually allow you to carry more than two or multiple babies at once. They come with separate bundles that can be combined to form a single travel system. But the separate bundles make these systems more expensive yet the product quality is often lower sometimes. There is also the added bulk and heaviness which makes them a burden to transport and for this reason, it is advisable to take caution so you later don’t regret your purchase.

Change stroller after 6 months to accommodate your baby’s needs

Infant car seat carriers – for the first 6 months, we recommend using car seat frame or a car seat adapter for your baby. This is because in this time period, your baby has not yet developed proper head and neck control and so you’ll need a stroller that can fully recline to safely support your baby. A stroller that comes with a car seat will be really helpful for both you and the baby. If you’re still not convinced that you need a car seat for the first few months of giving birth, here are more important reasons why:

• It is much easier and faster to transition from driving to strolling even if the baby is left in the car seat.
• Thanks to their lightweight and compactness, car seat frames are much easier to use and also get in or out of the car.
• Car seats provide the safety, security and comfort that’s required for the baby in the first six months.
• If the baby fell asleep while you were strolling or driving, you can easily transition without disturbing the baby from its sleep.

Standard size strollers – when your baby reaches one year old, you can now transition from car seat carriers to standard size strollers. At this time, the baby has developed sufficient neck and head support to be able to comfortably sit in an upright position. Now is the perfect time to start taking your baby on those long trips to the parks, or even shopping errands. But you should also keep in mind that since you’re now free to go for long trips with the baby, you’ll need a stroller that meets most if not all of your travelling needs. You’ll need to ask yourself the following questions in respect to the stroller you want to buy:

• Does the stroller come with a safety harness for securely holding your baby on the stroller?
• How portable is the stroller, can it be easily folded within seconds?
• How will the baby get protection from unfriendly weather such as rain, strong winds or even UVA and UVB sun rays?
• Are the brakes and swivel locking mechanisms easy to use?
• If you have twin babies, will the stroller accommodate both of them comfortably?
• On what kind of terrain will you be riding the stroller on?
• Does the stroller come with sufficient storage spaces for shopping or on the go essentials?
• What is your height and does the strollers handle-bars accommodate for your body’s height?

The answers to all the above questions automatically bring us to our next chapter of discussion;

Features/factors to consider when buying a stroller

If you didn’t know, strollers come with numerous features. These features are included to help satisfy or meet most of your needs, tastes or preferences. If you love listening to music on the go, you can get a stroller with a built-in MP3 system to keep you and your baby entertained on the road. Others come with height adjustable handle-bars that accommodate parents of different heights and so forth. But it is also important to note that all these features and accessories can drive up the final cost of a stroller and this means spending more money than you actually anticipated. But even if you’re a starter parent and don’t know exactly what to look for in a stroller, the features discussed below are the most important to consider when choosing a stroller:

Safety harness – we all know how important the safety of the baby is while riding on a stroller. Most standard strollers come with 3 point or 5 point safety harnesses that enable you to firmly and safely secure your baby at the shoulders, waist and between the legs so as to prevent the baby from falling out if the stroller accidentally tips over. You should look for straps and buckles that can be adjusted to provide a proper fit.

Easy fold mechanism – most strollers come with a quick and easy one fold operation feature that allows you to use only one hand to fold it down in a matter of seconds. Many are also self-standing after being folded and this gives you the added convenience of easy storage and packing.

Protective canopy – protecting your baby from the harmful rays of the sun, rain, strong wind and even bugs is the main purpose of a canopy. A good canopy should also provide proper ventilation for the baby via mesh panels or fabric used in its construction. This is important for keeping the baby comfortable for the whole trip.

Built-in suspension – not all strollers have a built-in suspension and depending on the kind of terrain you’ll be mostly riding the stroller on, it is important to consider the shock-absorbing abilities of the stroller you want to buy. Strollers with built-in suspensions provide an ultra-smooth ride for your baby’s comfort even on rough terrains.

Storage – being able to carry with you all the required essentials for the road is very important. Thankfully, most strollers come with lots of storage spaces such as zippered pockets, trays with cup holders and even extra-large baskets for keeping both you and your baby’s staff. Even if you’re going for shopping, the large storage baskets should be more than sufficient for all your shopping and essentials.

Brakes – high performance brakes are an essential safety feature. A safe stroller should have braking mechanisms that allow it to be brought to a complete halt if need be. This is very important especially on steep and slippery surfaces. Hopefully, most strollers have parking brakes which are foot-activated while others come with both rear-wheel brakes that are activated using a hand-operated lever.

Handle-bars – for you to get the most suitable position for pushing the stroller, the handle-bars need to be height adjustable so as to help accommodate parents of varying heights. For your hands comfort, they also need to be padded with soft touch materials.

Fabric and upholstery – strollers come with many different types of fabrics and prints to make it easy for you to find the one that suits your style. You should choose a fabric that’s easy to wipe or clean since your messy baby will be spending most time on it. The material should also be breathable to keep the baby comfortable in the hottest weather.

Size of the wheels – here you can either opt for bigger wheels or smaller wheels since both have their own merits and demerits. Larger wheels are easier to push and roll over bumps and non-paved surfaces however they come with the problem of being heavy and bulky. Smaller wheels on the other hand are less bulky but are hard to push especially on uneven and rough surfaces.

Weight of stroller – a heavy stroller makes it hard to carry especially if the baby is not riding along and you don’t have a car for carrying the stroller. If you know you’ll be carrying the stroller by hand, then opt for the lightest strollers available so as to ease the burden on you.

Maneuverability – this should be the most important factor when it comes to strolling. All baby strollers have a lockable front swivel wheel that rotates in different directions thus allowing you to maneuver easily through tight corners. But this feature is only helpful when making turns or corners. If you don’t know, there are many factors that affect maneuverability of the stroller, for example, the more the weight of your baby increases the less maneuverable the stroller becomes. Also the terrain on which you’re riding on has an effect, for example, when strolling over grass or gravel and even on snow the stroller becomes difficult to maneuver around.

Important advice for safer strolling

Even though strolling makes the travelling life easier for parents, there have been a few reported cases of baby injuries or accidents caused by strollers. From injuries caused as a result of falls, folding related injuries that caused amputation of baby fingertips to burns caused by hot liquids placed in a cup holder and the list goes on. As a result of the above cases, it is strongly advised to observe the following safety tips for a safer strolling:

• Always make sure you’ve secured your baby safely using a 3-point or 5-point safety harness to prevent the child from falling or slipping out of the stroller.
• When you’re folding the stroller, make sure the baby is at a safe distance away from the stroller to avoid amputation related injuries.
• Don’t hang anything on the push-handle bars to prevent the stroller from tipping-over.
• If you want to put drinks in a cup holder, make sure the drink is cold and in a tightly sealed bottle. For hot drinks, you should avoid putting them in the cup holders to prevent accidental spills that may burn your baby.
• Check whether the particular stroller you’ve bought was recalled due to faulty components that may pose a security risk to the baby.
• Also double check the parking brakes to ensure it is fully set. This is important to avoid unplanned brake releases that may be fatal to the baby.
