Here's a list of 10 things you should consider when purchasing a baby stroller:
- How many children do you plan on having? - If you plan on having more than one child you may consider getting a multiple occupancy stroller. Also, you may consider buying a higher quality stroller that will last long enough for a second or third child.
- Your lifestyle - Will you be taking short trips with the baby? Long trips? Will you be taking your baby jogging and exercising with you
- Seatbelt & Restraint system - The buckles should be easy for you to latch and unlatch, yet comfortable for your baby or child. The belt should fit snugly around your baby's waist and have crotch straps that loop into the waist belt to prevent him or her from slipping out. For jogging strollers a five-point harness is more desirable to keep your baby more secure on rough terrain.
- Adjustable seat and canopy - A stroller with an adjustable seat that fully reclines is a must for infants that cannot support their heads yet and is comfortable for children who want to nap on the go. An adjustable canopy is a plus to protect your baby from the sun, rain, wind or cold.
- What is the frame material made from? - Strollers can be made of plastic, aluminum, steel or a combination of materials. Strollers made of steel or aluminum will usually last longer but there is the added weight. The lightweight strollers with more plastic are easy to move around, but keep in mind they may not last long.
- Washable fabric - Be sure the stroller has removable fabric that can be easily cleaned. Most strollers have removable seats that can be cleaned.
- Storage area - If you're going on a long outing, you will want storage area for all the stuff you will be toting around.
- Brakes, wide wheel base and swivel wheels - Be sure the stroller has brakes that lock the wheels in place, a wheel base that is wide for stability and wheels that swivel for easy maneuverability.
- Adjustable Handle height - With most strollers being designed for the average height person; if you are tall you will want an adjustable handle.
- Easy open and close mechanism - You will want a stroller that folds with the use of one hand or foot, leaving the other hand free to hold your baby.
