Buying a baby stroller is as an important decision as buying a crib or a car seat. There are indeed several choices to make and each baby stroller holds a multitude of features. They have different range of prices from inexpensive to the most expensive and this is the reason why you have to make the right choice of stroller from the start. In fact, staying within a budget is actually important but you may be better off spending a little more for a baby stroller up front than buying a cheap stroller and having it break down after a few or months.

However, the most important features to consider when buying a stroller are the safety features. Buying a new stroller makes it easier to check for various safety features required in baby strollers. First off check that the stroller has an adequate breaking system and also make sure that the proper safety harness is in place. Indeed, a 5 point safety harness is good. Check for crotch strap as well. A good crotch strap prevents your baby from sliding out of the stroller.

There are other features which are not critical but helpful like adjustable handles. You are more than likely not the only person who will be pushing the stroller so adjustable handles are very helpful. You may also want to consider a stroller made from washable material or has Scotch guard protection to limit staining. Newer model strollers are usually built with stain guard fabrics.

Also storage space is very important in a good stroller. You will need to have space for things such as a diaper bag, baby formula, as well as having extra room to carry any extra bags. After storage space consideration, your next feature check is how well will your stroller store? You definitely need one that will fold easily and opens easily because you will be moving that stroller in and out of the car or storing it in a closet, etc. You actually do not want to be fighting with your stroller every time you need to use it or store it.

Moreover, if you are an active parent, you may consider the jogging stroller. Jogging strollers are great for the mom or dad who does exercise with their baby. The only downside to these strollers are that they are usually not made for carrying extra bags and are generally not lightweight. Another important issue is that they are not recommended for newborns. But if you are into exercising, you are probably better off purchasing two separate strollers, one for daily use and one for jogging or running.

The most important thing to consider here is actually the features that you will need on a daily basis. Safety features are surely very important but some parents need more storage in there strollers while some other parents prefer a lighter weight stroller that is very easy to store. It is of great idea and very much helpful to write down the actual features you do want in a stroller and then perform a thorough research on some brands to find out exactly which one does fits your needs.
