The stroller is the main means of transportation for the baby in the first years of life. It should be convenient for both the baby and the mother. And also to be mobile, functional, easy to fold and possess a host of other qualities. Preferences in choosing a particular model also depend on the time of year, because in the summer you want something light, light, airy. So, the stroller is summer. We make a choice.
Choosing the optimal weight
The first characteristic of a summer stroller is its weight. The warm season requires mobility: trips to a picnic, at sea, to the village. The kid will be interested and fascinating to travel with you. Therefore, the weight of the stroller is an important feature. If the child is very small, then it is worth choosing a stroller with a lightweight cradle, a thin hood and low sides. A few kilograms, which are added due to the thickness of the fabric, are very noticeable with the daily use of the stroller. In the case when the child is sitting confidently, the best purchase would be a stroller cane, whose weight is 5-6 kilograms.
Wheelchairs
The summer stroller does not require particularly strong and wide wheels. Plastic, rubber, double or wide on knitting needles - all of them will perfectly cope with their task both on asphalt and on unpaved surfaces. The issue of wheel diameter is rather relevant in winter, in cases of icy conditions and heavy snow. In summer weather conditions, the choice of wheels is only a matter of taste.
Choose color
Is your favorite color navy blue? And will the child be comfortable in such a stroller in the summer sun? The summer stroller must certainly be made in bright colors. Although this may be more sober and less practical, modern models provide for the possibility of removing covers and washing them in a washing machine. Yes, and you will be pleased to roll a yellow or light green stroller on a sunny day.
Rigidity is an important quality
The issue of back stiffness is not relevant for strollers with a cradle - hard mattresses provide sufficient comfort for the newborn. Walking strollers, on the contrary, periodically sin with insufficiently rigid supports in the back area. The kid should not feel like in a hammock. The backrest needs tight support, which must be additionally checked when choosing a stroller.
Right size
It is only natural that the summer stroller will be different in size from the winter. In a T-shirt and shorts, the baby takes up much less space than in a warm jumpsuit with an extra blanket. The question of the size of the stroller often arises when you need to use the elevator or transport it in the car. In strollers with a rigid cradle, attention should be paid to the width of the wheelbase so that the width of the elevator allows it to fit inside. Strollers for children have various folding mechanisms and, as a rule, are transported folded without problems. It does not play a special role in how the wheelchair is folded - with a cane or a book. A more important point is the ease of folding it, so that it is convenient for you to do it with one hand, and all mechanisms should be smooth and reliable.
Additional Attributes
It is desirable that the summer stroller was not only durable and comfortable, but also had such essential things in the summer as an umbrella and a wide hood that covers the sun. It is also worth checking the presence of ventilation windows in the stroller so that the baby feels comfortable and is not hot under the scorching rays.
