A stroller is needed for walking with children. She especially helps with a long stay in the fresh air or on a trip. But with kids, you have to take so many things that parents often consider the lightest stroller cane as an alternative to functional but heavy transformers. Such models are usually intended for children older than six months who are already sitting confidently, they are used up to a maximum of 3-4 years.
However, it is important for any mother that the baby was comfortable sitting, his safety and comfort was ensured. At the same time, the weight of the transport, its maneuverability and the nuances of folding are important.
Attention to strength
Usually a stroller cane is used in the bustle of the city, parents have to constantly fold and unload it while going down the subway, going to the store or using public transport. If you plan a trip, then the stroller will have to be checked into luggage, where it is not always careful to treat things. Therefore, the lightest and most comfortable stroller cane should still be strong and withstand repeated use under extreme conditions.
Usually, the stroller is actively and for a long time exploited, and not only in the conditions of an ideal asphalt road. Usually they are used for walks in the yard, for field trips, trips to the shopping center and traveling. Therefore, when choosing it is important to pay attention to the strength of the frame and especially the folding. And not always a model that is ideal for city streets will be just as convenient on a tourist trip.
Stroller Options
All models differ in folding method. On this basis, they are divided into:
The choice will depend on personal preferences and characteristics of the family lifestyle. But if you need a model that is light in weight, then you only need to consider canes.
For everyday walks
For daily walks and shopping trips, it is most convenient to use maneuverable and small transport. At the same time, the lightest stroller cane is always appreciated by parents, because it is easy to take it on public transport and lift it to the apartment on your own.
During storage, it also takes up little space, so the option is suitable for trips to a clinic or a children's center. However, for the winter it is better to consider the "book" option, and in the summer period a cane will be optimal.
For flights
Particularly acute is the choice of a stroller for use at the airport. From what dimensions and weight it has, its transportation in an airplane depends. The simplest and lightest models usually pass right up to the plane. But more functional and weighty ones will have to be checked in even before boarding.
Consider the lightest, but comfortable, having accumulated a lot of positive reviews, wheelchairs.
A cane from the Maclaren line

Disney Umbrella Stroller
When a stroller cane is chosen, the lightest and cheapest can be a pretty attractive option. So, the line from "Disney" differs in compactness and original coloring.

Of course, the line is suitable for children older than a year, it does not imply a long stay in the stroller. There is no rigid fixation, no bumper. According to reviews, the hood only slightly protects from the sun and is practically powerless against rain. In addition, cross-country ability and durability also suffer. But for travel and walks in the yard, many parents recommend this stroller.
Parents of twins or the weather also need a stroller cane. For twins, the lightest model will be a big advantage, because such samples initially have a lot of weight due to the structural features. This model has a classic design, six pairs of wheels and three handles.

Most users believe that the stroller is very durable, it is not scary to put two babies in it at once.
