Stroller: Advice And Considerations

The baby carriage is one of the basic elements you have to have if you have a baby. However, knowing how to choose the right stroller for your baby is not always easy because the market offers many models and options of strollers for babies. So it’s normal that you don’t know where to start looking. Below, we present a series of advice so that your purchase is in accordance with what your baby needs.

First of all: aesthetics and practicality

Aesthetics, that is, our tastes, are not always compatible with what is practical or portable. Thus, it is essential that you take into account certain factors when choosing a stroller for your child. For example: choose a cart that fits in the trunk of your car or that can take an elevator. However, that doesn’t mean you can’t choose the cart you like most: there are many options. That way, you’re sure to find the one that matches both requirements.

Baby Carriage Features:

First of all you have to make sure that your child is going to travel in a safe pram. The cart’s seat belt must have simple and quick locks when unlocking. In addition, you must have a protective bar that offers sufficient guarantees of safety for your baby.

In addition, the trolley must be light, ie, once pushed, it must be able to be steered using only one hand. And it is also important that it be practical, that is, that it turns and turns well so that you can carry your child with greater comfort. There are actually some types of wheels that are able to adapt to different terrain and soil types. These wheels are best suited for travel.

As for the measurements or dimensions, you should check if the cart fits your needs. If you have a small house, a cart that doesn’t take up much space is ideal. Also, it is critical to check if it is adjustable to different heights. It’s not the same as pushing the baby carriage while wearing sneakers or high-heeled shoes. The cart must be adjustable to be at your height, so you don’t suffer from too many problems in the

back

.

Regarding accessories, many large models come with a space to put all kinds of

accessories

: bags, backpacks, parasol and, of course, a canopy to protect against the rain. Lastly, make sure the chair can be reclined and the mat is washable, dryable and padded.

Model analysis: the Maxi Cosi models

The models known as Maxi Cosi, which are coupled on a simple chassis, are a much more practical option than the models called bassinets. Nowadays, there are

carts

for Maxi Cosi babies that guarantee comfort for the baby, as well as its correct posture.

The Maxi Cosi model provides more comfort than the bassinet. Furthermore, it is not so full of paraphernalia, offering the possibility to add accessories and is also usually a cheaper option. These strollers for babies usually have three parts attached to the chassis, formed by the feet and wheels. These three parts are:

• The rest chair, which is used from six months of age onwards, when the child is already able to support their head on their own.
• The bassinet or baby-comfort is designed for babies with little time of life who lie down, as if it were a bed.

• The Maxi Cosi itself, that is, the center of the cart. Although it is the name of a baby stroller brand, the name derives from this piece.

Cultural aspects reflected in the way the newborn is transported

The way we transport newborn babies has a cultural matrix. In Spain, most children are transported on a bassinet, especially if they are small. Also, many professionals advise choosing this option. This is because the theory is that children’s backs have to be horizontal at all times.

However, the standard baby carriage does not exist. What may be suitable for some children is not suitable for others. Therefore, it is necessary to take into account the needs and peculiarities of each one. Anyway, there are some features that any stroller should have:

• Be small, comfortable and portable.
• Be light. To this we have to add the child’s weight because the stroller can be very heavy as a whole.
• If they are parents who like to travel a lot, the baby carriage has to be three-wheeled. Thus, he will be able to adapt to any type of soil.

The question of whether to have a bassinet or not will depend on the parents’ tastes. Normally, when it comes to a newborn, the baby carriage usually takes them anywhere. In case you choose one of them, it is recommended that the bassinet be simple, light and that it can be collapsible. That way, you’ll be able to keep it at home when your child grows up and just wants to use the stroller. Also, there are some

models

recommended for travel by car.
