Stroller Buying Guide

Stroller Handle Bars - The stroller handle bar is an important feature of any stroller. You want the handles to meet your particular height comfortably. Stroller handles are usually most comfortable if they meet level to your hips. It doesn't have to line up exactly, but you should not feel as though you are stooping down low to push the stroller. The stroller handle bar also shouldn't be so tall that it becomes awkward to push the stroller with full control. If there will be people of different heights pushing the stroller, you may elect for an adjustable height stroller.

Stroller Wheels - Smaller swiveling wheels are easier to maneuver. They handle turns and quick changes in direction well. Smaller wheel strollers are good for walking and smooth surfaces.

Larger wheels are easier to push over rugged terrain and are better for jogging. Large stroller wheels give you a smoother glide and easier curb and bump handling.

Pneumatic Stroller Wheels - Pneumatic stroller wheels are air filled tires. They provide a cushioned comfortable ride and they run smooth over uneven surfaces. They are usually found on full size and jogger strollers.

When considering strollers keep in mind your cargo/trunk capacity of your vehicle. The larger tire strollers take up a lot of cargo space and may not fold as flat as strollers with smaller tires.

Stroller Width - It is important to consider stroller width when making your decision. Most doorways are 32 inches wide. So some double/twin and jogger strollers wider than 30 inches may have problems fitting through doorways. And you don't want to discover your stroller is too wide on your first trip out with your new baby and no preparation.

Stroller Seats- When considering stroller seats you should keep in mind that it is recommended that babies up to six months old lie in the fully reclined position. If you will be transferring your infant car seat to the stroller (so you don't disturb your baby) you must make sure the stroller you choose is compatible with your infant car seat.

Stroller Seat Pad - One thing that is unavoidable with babies are spills, spit-ups, and the occasional diaper malfunction or accident. You may want to choose a stroller with easy-to-remove, machine washable stroller seat pads.

Stroller Color - Your stroller color reflects your artistic side as well as your babies, it is your personal choice. Light colors and bright colors are easier to see if you will be walking or jogging in dimly lit areas. Light colors will help your baby stay cooler in the sun and summer just as yourself. Darker stroller colors are more traditional and more resistant to staining.

You can save countless hours and hundreds of dollars by having a stroller buying guide before you buy.
