Choosing a Baby Stroller

When you're moving, a baby stroller is an ideal way to transport your child. In addition to giving your back a break, it helps you get there where you need to be without getting burdened by too much gear.

Look for products that are large and have a seat that can be reclined nearly flat. (Newborns still require neck support). Some come with a bassinet or travel system.

Seating

A stroller's seat is one of the most important features because it's the place where your baby will spend a lot of time. It is important to choose a comfortable, wide seat that provides ample space for your child to stretch and take a break. Some seats have reclines, which are especially beneficial for infants and newborns who do not yet have the neck strength to sit up. Some seats feature stowable feetrests that let your child relax in a different way.

Most strollers come with a tray for children that can be used to store toys and snacks. The top models have an attached tray that can be stowed to the side of the seat, so you won't be concerned about it falling over while moving. Some jogging walkers include pockets for bottles as well as sippy cup holders. The pockets are easy for children to reach, so they won't spill their drinks while moving.

It is also worth considering the stroller's restraint system, that will keep your child safe. The ideal is a five-point harness that is secured at the shoulders, waist and between the legs. The buckles must be easy to fasten for adults and difficult to remove for children. It's important to test the stroller both with and without your child. It should be easy to push and comfortable, even on rough terrain.

Safety

When you're taking your baby for a walk or going shopping, you want to be sure that the stroller you pick is safe. It must meet the minimum standards set by AS/NZS standards, which cover the construction, materials performance, and safety warnings.

Avoid hanging bags and other items from the handles, as this can cause the stroller to tip backward. Keep the stroller free of any parts that can make a child's fingers uncomfortable or cause a choking risk. Also, ensure that the brake lever is kept out of reach of young children.

Check that the stroller is equipped with a locking system that stops it from folding accidentally when in use. It is possible to lock the stroller by pressing a button located on the handlebars or the dashboard. The registration of your stroller allows the manufacturer to send you any safety information.
