Comfort

The main criterion for choosing a good pram is comfort for the child. The cradle frame of the purchased stroller must be rigid. Soft lining and a comfortable mattress are also important for the first baby vehicle.

When you buy a stroller or a multifunctional stroller, be sure to look for one that has a comfortable seat, there is a stand for children's legs and a hood that reliably protects from bad weather and the sun.

In order for the child to be able to lie in the stroller when he falls asleep or gets tired, the back should be adjustable, taking several different tilt positions.

Safety

You need to buy a stroller that does not have sharp or small parts that can injure the baby during a walk. It should be equipped with stable and maneuverable wheels, good brakes. These elements will allow parents to easily manage it, and the child can travel comfortably.

Strollers for walking should have adjustable straps, a removable bumper that holds the child. They should not block free access to the baby if necessary.

Wheelchairs can have a different design. There are five-point products consisting of two shoulder straps, the same number of garters in the belt, as well as one between the legs. There are options for three points in which there are only two belts in the belt and one between the legs.

The five-point method of fixing the baby is a safer option and holds the baby better.

Functionality

When buying a stroller, you need to pay attention to additional features that can be very useful. Transformers and strollers for newborns are usually equipped with a removable cradle with a carrying handle.

When choosing a transformer or a walking model, it is worth checking whether the handle height is convenient for parents, otherwise you will have to bend down at the time of the walk, which is too inconvenient.

You should give preference to samples with a handle that has a height adjustment. In addition to this, one should take into account the point that some children are more pleasant to look in the direction of movement, while others are preferable to constantly see their parents. It is better to buy a stroller equipped with a flip handle. It allows you to carry the baby as he likes.

Be sure to pay attention to the maneuverability of the wheels.

  • if the model is equipped with large rubber wheels, this will provide the wheelchair with good cross-country ability in any weather and a smooth ride on rough roads;
  • when the stroller is equipped with small plastic wheels, it will greatly lighten its weight, and it is also suitable for walking in the summer;
  • floating wheels will make the product more maneuverable, but they must certainly have clamps that allow them to be fixed in one position.

An ideal purchase option would be a design in which removable wheels are provided, which allows one or another variant to be installed depending on the situation.

Practicality

A good stroller is easy to fold out and can be assembled quickly. You should always purchase an optimal weight design, because if the elevator breaks down, the parents will have to take the stroller out of the staircase daily on their own.

Travel lovers should buy compact models (walking sticks), since they fit in the car trunk without problems, where they won’t take up much space.READ ALSO: Comparison of 6 models of cane strollers for traveling with a child

Most models of strollers have duffel baskets and are equipped with pockets in which you can put toys, products and replaceable baby clothes. Also in the kit may be additional accessories: a sun visor, a stand for toys and bottles, a parent bag, a mosquito net, a warm cover and a rain cover.

Also, car accessories will not be superfluous: a headrest, special adapters that allow you to securely fasten the cradle in the car, "seat belt".

    Everything is correctly written, but I would also add that you need to take a stroller of a neutral color, or as they say “unisex”. On such strollers, pollution is less visible, and then it will be much easier to sell it then, for example, pink.
