Isn’t it wonderful when you bring your first baby home? Suddenly your life has changed forever, and in ways you didn’t even think about before baby. You’re about to discover how much more difficult it is to get around now with a baby than it was before baby. You need a baby stroller.
There are some logistical difficulties attached to a new baby, and getting around is one of them. Suddenly just getting into the car has become a 10 minute job, and then when you get out how do you get around conveniently?
Probably your mum and dad had a pram for you. Probably a steel pram that weighed a ton and wasn’t easy to get around. Or to get into the car. Your parents probably struggled to get pram and baby into the car and away in under 20 minutes.
But modern technology allows companies to make much more user friendly strollers that overcome these problems. They are usually made of plastic, so are lighter, are usually much easier to fold up and put away, and are easier to push with larger wheels.
And that’s not all, there are other benefits to a having a baby stroller too. Benefits for baby. For example you can get strollers with reclining seats so baby can sleep or sit up and look around. And they should have adjustable footrests for a growing baby.
And if mum is taking baby shopping she will also need plenty of storage space for that. And also good stroller brakes.
And there’s some safety issues attached to brakes too. Make sure that you have a foot operated brake that operates on all wheels, and can hold a fully laden stroller on a hill. Don’t stop on a hill unless absolutely necessary, and if you do stop across the hill rather than facing down it.
And while talking about safety make sure you’re getting a solid adjustable 5 point safety harness, that’s essential. There have been accidents in the past where baby has tried to stand up, and succeeded.
And here’s a couple more safety tips for the safe use of baby strollers. If you need to take baby and stroller up stairs then look for a lift. It’s very difficult to take a baby in a stroller up stairs safely. If you must then take baby out of the stroller, but better not to go up.
And never tie a dog lead to a stroller. You may well look away and look back to find that your dog, and your stroller, and your baby, have taken off.
And a stroller is very affordable. You can find excellent strollers brand new for around $200 if you know where to look. That’s convenience for you and comfort for your baby at a very affordable price.
