HOW TO CHOOSE A STROLLER - which stroller to choose the right one for a newborn

All options for choosing strollersboil down to two things:

  1. Baby comfort and safety.
  2. Convenience for mom.

How to choose the right baby stroller so that it is good for both the baby and mom.

  • Strollers. This is a transport for "sedentary" kids who want to survey the world around them (otherwise you simply won't force them).
  • The transformer combines two strollers. It easily converts from a model for a newborn to a walking one. The lightweight carrycot has a solid bottom and fabric sides. As soon as the baby learns to sit, the carrycot is removed. Thanks to a simple mechanism, the walking block is installed by tilting the back. Thus, the stroller turns into a seated one. A huge plus of transforming strollers is the adjustable backrest position. If the child has dozed off, it can be lowered to a prone position. A distinctive feature of transformers from other models is weight. They are heavier than modular strollers. But they add up easier.
  • Modular strollers with 2-in-1 and 3-in-1 systems are arranged differently. The cradle in the modular model has the correct anatomical shape and is more rigid than that of the transformer. The removable seat unit is similar to a removable seat that is easy to install by removing the carrycot from the frame. In the 3-in-1 version, manufacturers add a car seat to the stroller, in which it is convenient to transport the baby in a stroller and in a car.

Which is better: transforming strollers or ordinary strollers?

If there is no extra storage space, then it is better to choose a transformer.Important: for some transformers, the cradle is located low, and this is inconvenient for the mother. There is a myth that the low position of the cradle is harmful to a newborn in autumn or winter. He does not stand up to criticism. Nevertheless, in some brands of transformers, the cradle is small in size, which does not allow the baby to be wrapped up warmly enough.

Expensive transformer models are designed for a user who is not constrained by space, so not all of them will fit into a narrow elevator.

Having chosen several suitable ones, study the reviews on the forums specifically about them - this way you will learn the nuances that arise only during the operation of the stroller.

How to choose the right stroller for a newborn?

  • Choose odorless material for the bassinet upholstery.
  • It is better if the upholstery is removed - to wash in case of contamination.
  • In the spacious cradle, you can wrap your baby well in winter "vestments".
  • The stock should be moderately firm, without protruding structural elements.
  • Pay attention that the hood folds down, and when opened, it reliably protects from bad weather.
  • Make sure that vibrations from the base of the carrycot are not transmitted to your baby.
  • Wheel lock: the best option is brakes with a lever on the handle of the stroller.
  • Mosquito net and rain cover are a big plus.

Which stroller to choose?

The best option is a stroller in which the back is lowered to a horizontal position. In it, the baby will enjoy a full sleep while walking. In addition, minor conditions also affect usability:

  • Handle height. It's good when mom can adjust her to her height.
  • Seat orientation. It is easier to follow the baby when the seat is facing the mother. Some kids feel more comfortable seeing you. But more independent kids are sometimes not satisfied with driving backwards and limiting the view.
  • Wheel lock. Foot (pedals) - not comfortable, manual (lever on the handle) - always at hand.
  • Seat belts and restraining rim. Protect the baby from falling from the stroller. The removable rim is much more convenient.
  • Removable padding. You already understood - to wash.
  • Mosquito net, rain cover, foot cover - will protect you from the “harmfulness” of the environment.
  • Inflatable wheels and shock absorption will protect your baby from unpleasant vibrations.
  • Three-wheeled base. These strollers have only one front wheel. It rotates 360⁰. This stroller is very maneuverable. It is easy to operate even with one hand.

A good stroller requires careful selection. But it more than pays for the efforts of the parents with the pleasure of using it. We hope the thoughtful descriptions of the models in the stroller section will make it easy to find the best transport for your family!
