Parenthood is a wild ride filled with endless love, sleepless nights, and the occasional baby spit-up on your favorite shirt. Amidst all the chaos, one thing remains constant: your unwavering desire to provide the best for your little bundle of joy.
When it comes to comfort and safety, one of the hardest choices to make is picking the right stroller for your baby. Luckily, there is a plethora of options to choose from. Making the right decision with this investment can be key to your parenting journey in many ways.
First things first, before embarking on your stroller shopping adventure, you need to assess your needs. Are you a super-active parent who loves jogging? Or perhaps you are more of a city dweller, maneuvering through crowded streets. Whatever your lifestyle, consider it when choosing the perfect stroller. Second, determine your budget. Baby strollers fall under a wide range of prices anywhere between Rs. 5000 to Rs. 1 lakh or even more. Once you have those two factors figured out, it is time to identify the key features you require in a stroller.
Stroller Types and Features
Now, let us get to the exciting part—the stroller types and features.
Full-size Strollers
These bad boys are like the SUVs of the stroller world. They come with all the bells and whistles you could ever dream of. Think spacious seats, extra storage, and even cup holders (because let us be honest, parents need their caffeine fix too). Not to mention the smooth rides they offer, ensuring your little one snoozes away while you stroll in style.
Lightweight Strollers
If you are a parent on the go, constantly running errands or travelling, lightweight strollers are your best friend. These nimble wonders are compact, easy to fold, and will not leave you breaking a sweat while trying to lift them. One like the Joie Mirus Lightweight Baby Stroller may be light on weight, but they are heavy on convenience.
Jogging Strollers
Calling all fitness enthusiasts! If you are looking to get back in shape and bring your little one along for the ride, jogging strollers are a game-changer. With their sturdy frames, excellent suspension systems, and durable wheels, these strollers can handle any terrain. We recommend something like the Kinderkraft Trig Pushchair Stroller with great suspension and strength on the wheels.
Travel System Strollers
Travel system strollers is a 2-in-one game changer. These versatile strollers come with a detachable car seat, allowing you to seamlessly transition from car to stroller in seconds. Plus, they offer the comfort and safety your little one deserves during those long car rides. You can now carry them from the car to any place without waking them up!
Umbrella Strollers
If you are all about simplicity and compactness, umbrella strollers are the way to go. They are lightweight, easy to fold (hence the name), and perfect for those quick trips to the park or the grocery store. They can also be a budget friendly options but makes no compromise on safety or spares the features that matter. One like the Joie Nitro Lx Umbrella Stroller is our favorite pick.
Safety Features on a Stroller
Now that we have explored the different types of strollers, let us talk about safety features to look for when picking a stroller.
Sturdy construction and stability
A wobbly stroller? No, thank you! Look for strollers that are built to withstand the test of time and provide a stable ride for your baby.
Five-point harness system
Babies are very cute and very wiggly. The strollers must come equipped with a secure five-point harness system to always keep them safe and in the stroller while keeping them comfortable and cozy. Rest assured; your little Houdini will not be escaping from this one!
Brakes and locking mechanisms
Look for strollers with reliable and easily accessible brakes and locking mechanisms to keep your stroller in place when you need it to be. These can be especially important if you like in a crowded city or if you are a jogger.
Canopy and sun protection
We’ve all seen those adorable sunglasses on babies, but protecting them from the sun is more than just a fashion statement. Some strollers come with canopies that provide ample shade, ensuring your little one stays cool and protected from harmful UV rays. A UPF 50+ sun canopy is recommended for the best sun protection.
Ease of use and maneuverability
Choose a stroller that is easy to use with features like click foldability, adjustable handles, and footrests. A good stroller with great suspension, 360-degree wheel swivel and front locks can come in handy for a stroller.
