If you’re new to the world of baby care, then you most
likely do not know a whole lot about baby strollers.
Before you go out and purchase one, you will find it
helpful to first learn about stroller basics.
The first type of stroller discussed is your basic
lightweight "umbrella" stroller. These are typically the
smallest and least expensive type of strollers. Not only
are umbrella strollers great because of their light
weight, but they also fold up easily and become quite
compact for easy storage.
Next is the most common type of stroller. Standard
strollers are usually more expensive than umbrella
strollers, yet they typically posses higher quality wheels
and frames, thus are more durable. For your "everyday
activities", standard strollers work great and have
storage pockets for necessities like
baby blankets and bottles
for travel.
Imagine you have a stretched limo for a stroller. What you
basically have is what is called a double stroller. Double
strollers come in two configurations, side by side, or
front to back (tandem). The front-to-back configuration is
nice because it makes for a more compact design for better
maneuverability, and is easier to get through doorways.
Although, the side-by-side design has its advantages too,
as their will be no disputes about who gets to sit in the
front seat.
Are you more of the athletic type that loves the great
outdoors? If so, then jogging strollers are the best type
of stroller for you. Fitted with extra large and durable
wheels, jogging strollers are designed to allow your baby
to keep up with you and your fast-paced lifestyle.
Higher-end models are equipped with bicycle-style caliper
brakes for making safe stops.
Now you are aware of all your various stroller options.
Don’t feel left out if you have more than two small
children to cart around. Triple, and even quadruple
strollers are available on the market.
