Your Baby Stroller Buying Guide

Buying a stroller for your little baby can sometimes seem complicated

. There is a wider array of choices than ever with models that seem to include features that few parents would need. Finding one that meets your needs, budget, and provides a safe, secure, and comfortable ride for your baby can seem overwhelming.

Chances are, that safety will be your highest priority. You'll want to make sure your little one is safe while sitting in her stroller. Test its stability. Look for wheel stops. Hang a reasonably heavy weight off one of the handles and check to see whether the front wheels leave the ground. Look for a 5-point harness that ensures your baby will be strapped in securely. Also, make a note of any rough edges where pinching or scratching may occur.

Look at the manufacturer's age limits for the strollers, as some are for those children that are aged newborn to 6 months, while there are others that are listed for 12 to 24 month olds only. Others simply have a weight limit and this should be strictly adhered to.

A stroller serves numerous purposes and a lightweight stroller makes the task of getting around much more tolerable. One of the main pluses of using a stroller, is you don't have to hold your newborn the total time you're out and about. A lightweight stroller is perfect to travel with.

If you enjoy jogging, a jogging stroller is an ideal solution. But, keep in mind that these models are more difficult to collapse, potentially making them unwieldy for everyday travel.

New parents should always test out a baby stroller before making the purchase, as it's absolutely critical to see how easy/difficult it is to push. If you're an avid walker or run plenty of errands, a stroller needs to work with you, not against you. Look for strollers with larger rubber wheels with shock absorbers to ensure that your baby isn't jostled during your afternoon jog.
