New parents struggle with the decision of which baby

stroller they should buy when they are expecting an

addition to the family. There are so many different models

on the market, all with attractive features, that the

choices parents are faced with when they start shopping

are staggering.

Many of them rely on advice from family and friends and

many turn to reviews of different strollers through

Internet sites. Even so, they may like the look of one

stroller better than another. They so want something

safe, but yet a stroller that looks fashionable and stylish.

Some tips to help you get the right stroller are:

• Think about whether you intend to have more than one

child. If you do or if you already have a toddler at home,

then you should look at getting a stroller suitable for

both an infant and a toddler.

• If you travel a lot, you need to look at getting a stroller

that folds easily and fits into the trunk of your car.

• Check out the harness system of the stroller. The

safest ones to use are the five point systems so there is

no danger of the baby falling out. You also have to make

sure that the restraints are easy for you to use, yet hard

for a child to unlock.

• For an infant, you need a stroller with a reclining seat.

This lets you take the baby for a walk long before it is

able to sit up on his/her own. You also need a stroller

with a canopy to protect the baby from the sun and the

wind.

• Look at the material in the frame. Strollers made from

steel and aluminum are very durable and will last you a

lot longer. This is important if you want to use the stroller

for all of your children without having to buy a new one

for each baby.

• While you might really like the color and style of a

specific fabric, you need to make sure that it is machine

washable. Leaking pampers and spitting up can soil the

material and cause staining.

• Look at the height of the handles and see whether or

not they are comfortable for both of you. Many strollers

today have height adjustments you can easily make so

that anyone can take the baby for a walk.
