Strollers - reviews. Strollers: which is better?

Even the smallest child requires a considerable investment in its development. In this article we’ll talk about how to choose the right stroller: what you need to consider and know. And also the main reviews about the most popular models of this children's mode of transport will be considered.

About Diversity

If a modern person wants to buy a certain product, what will he first pay attention to? Right, for customer reviews. Strollers in this situation are no exception. You can study this type of transport according to various characteristics, however, the surest way to make the right choice is to find out which models experienced mothers prefer. So, first of all, it is worth saying that strollers for walking can be divided into three large weight groups:

1. Heavyweights: their average weight is 10-12 kg, but can reach up to 15.
2. Lightweight strollers: their weight averages 6-8 kg, but at the same time they have all the functions of heavyweights.
3. Super lightweight strollers: most often these are the so-called "canes", their weight averages 3-5 kg.

They are also divided into summer and winter (seasonally), stroller canes and stroller-books (folding type), three-and four-wheel models.

Advantages

What are the benefits of strollers? Customer reviews say the following:

1. It is lightweight and small in size (compared to a regular stroller). This often becomes the main argument in the desire of the mother to change the stroller to a more ergonomic version.
2. Compactness. All strollers can be folded like a book or cane. Thanks to this, with such strollers you can travel, travel by public transport, without any problems store even in a small apartment.
3. Relatively low prices.

disadvantages

After reviewing the positive characteristics of this type of transport, you must also find out if there are negative reviews? Strollers are not so ideal if you look closely. Their main disadvantages:

1. Low level of comfort. Compared with conventional strollers, walking strollers often have less space for the baby, as well as a less comfortable sleeping position.
2. Protection. Lower weather protection.
3. Inadequate cushioning (compared to conventional wheelchairs).
4. Bad passability. Most of them with huge problems will pass through snowdrifts of snow or mud, and they are also not recommended to be purchased for moving through dirt terrain.

What to look for when choosing?

So what should be a good stroller? Customer reviews suggest that you first need to carefully study not only the advantages, but also the disadvantages of this type of transport, and only after you think: is it worth buying or is it better to walk with the baby in an ordinary stroller. What do you need to pay attention to when choosing?

1. When choosing a vehicle for a walk, you need to pay attention to the front wheels of this type of transport. If they are double, the stroller itself can turn into uncontrollable, sometimes the wheels become skidded, which prevents movement.
2. Compared with conventional strollers, there are fewer baby strollers. It is also worth paying attention to when choosing. In some models, the child will also not have enough space for sleep.
3. "Walking" strollers. Not all of them are able to "walk" on the stairs. If this is important (for example, there is no elevator in the house), you should pay special attention to this fact when choosing.
4. What else are customer reviews talking about? Strollers are most often less durable than conventional strollers. Squeaks in the wheels are possible, which, however, can be eliminated without problems with a regular VD-shka.
5. When choosing this type of transport for the baby, it is also worth paying attention to the convenience for the mother. Strollers are often more difficult to manage than their usual relatives. At the same time, they are rarely equipped with a sufficient luggage compartment, and mother is unlikely to be able to hang a bag full of goods on the handle of such a stroller.
6. Handle: it is better if it is U-shaped (so mom will be able to talk on the way, for example, by phone, pushing the stroller with one hand). If there are two handles, the stroller cannot be carried with one hand. It is also worth paying attention to whether the handle can be thrown, which will allow you to change the position of the child in the stroller. For some mothers, this is an important nuance.
7. Security. Since walkers are located quite low to the ground, they are very stable, which allows the baby to climb inside. However, it is worth paying attention to this nuance: are the sides of the stroller high enough (which will not allow the baby to fall out while driving), are there seat belts. And you should always remember: you can not remove the baby from the stroller when a certain load hangs on its handle. So vehicles can roll over and harm the baby.

Which is better: “winter” or “summer”?

What is the best stroller to choose : summer or winter? What do the reviews say about this? Strollers, which are designed for winter, in the first place have more powerful wheels (which are also quite large in diameter). This allows children's vehicles to travel through the snow without problems and not get stuck in it. Also, these strollers will be necessarily equipped with a warm cover, which should be worn on the legs of the child, the material of the stroller will be more dense and windproof. Another important detail: in a winter stroller, the baby will be more comfortable, because there is much more space. However, there are some drawbacks: the winter is more massive and most often a bit heavier than the summer. As for the option of a stroller for the warm season, its wheels will be of a minimum diameter, the fabric is lighter, there is a small visor for protection that will hide the baby from the sun. It should be said that this type of transport is more suitable for children who no longer sleep on a walk, because in summer strollers the baby is unlikely to rest normally.

Which is better to choose: "cane" or "book"?

What should be a good stroller? Customer reviews say the following: for a child up to a year, you need to take a stroller-book, because it has a fairly hard back, which is important for the formation of the spine of the baby. There is no such thing in the cane, its back is made of light material, which, however, allows the stroller to fold very compactly. So what is better to give preference? If mom and baby travel a lot and they need the perfect stroller, where you can relax and just ride, it’s better to take a stroller-book. The list of its advantages over the "cane":

1. More reliable and durable.
2. The back of a carriage has the rigidity necessary for the kid, often - several options of adjustment.
3. It is also perfectly transformed, which makes it easy to carry or carry in personal and even public transport.

What is so good stroller "cane"? Customer reviews say that in the folded version it is much more compact than a book. It takes up much less space, which often becomes the main factor when choosing this transport for the baby. However, with all this, leaving the child to sleep in a “cane” is not recommended due to the lack of a rigid back.

Strollers Capella

Each buyer, wanting to choose the right vehicle for a walk for his baby, will surely encounter a problem: which manufacturer to stop at, who will offer the perfect option? So, a few words should be said about the company Capella. The stroller (customer reviews confirm this) is quite heavy and looks massive. However, this is where all the negative responses end. By itself, it is large, which provides the baby with enough space for convenient placement. The wheelbase is wider relative to other manufacturers, which gives the wheelchair the ability to maneuver and be the so-called all-terrain vehicle. What is the difference between Capella strollers? The carriage (customer reviews, again, pay attention to this) is one of the most expensive, the pricing policy of most models is quite high. And although these strollers are produced in South Korea, more often they are more expensive than Italian or German counterparts.

Strollers by Lider Kids

This is another pretty well-known company, which most young mothers turn their attention to when choosing. Why is the Lider Kids stroller so good ? Customer reviews say the following: a convenient enough place to place a baby, a normal place to sleep a baby, models are equipped with a hood or visor to cover the baby from bad weather or the sun. The wheels are durable, comfortable, fixed if necessary. An important point: the strollers of this company are walking (this means that you can climb it up the stairs without dragging the stroller in your hands). The main disadvantages: relatively heavy and massive models. However, according to most parents, this is the most successful combination of price and quality.

Jetem Strollers

When choosing a vehicle for the youngest child, you should also pay attention to Jetem strollers. Customer reviews what do they say about this manufacturing company? So, most models have the following disadvantages:

1. Insufficient depreciation (which, however, is the problem of all strollers of this type compared to conventional ones).
2. Handle play (especially present if the stroller has two positions: “face forward” and “face to mom”).
3. Does not step (the step between the wheels of the models of this company is less).

This often ends with customer dissatisfaction. Advantages of the models of this company abound. The stroller is quite light and maneuverable, the design is stable, which will not allow the fidget kid to spread. Most models are equipped with additional accessories: a large cargo compartment, a bag for mom, raincoat, hood. The back of such strollers is hard, which will enable the child to sleep in the fresh air.
