It won’t make much difference for some of the things you buy for your baby. Most toys, shoes, and nursery furniture have the same basic features and you can choose what looks fun or has the type of materials you like. With your baby stroller it can be a little different. Determining what you need and your baby isn’t even here yet can make the entire process complicated.

Finding the best baby stroller for you and your baby will depend on your lifestyle. Knowing which questions to ask your self will help you determine the best stroller for you.

 

  1. When will you use the stroller the most?

 

You should first think about the place you will use the stroller. Some frequent places to think about: indoor shopping malls, the park, city sidewalks, or climbing into a big city bus. Thinking about all the places you may travel can help you determine which stroller is best.

 

  1. How long will you use the stroller?

 

Your stroller should be a long term investment. There are special strollers that are only for infants and some that convert to toddler strollers. There are even strollers that you can add on to in case you need to transport more than one child.

 

  1. What other features do you need in a stroller?

 

  • Adjustable handlebars: these are very important if dad wants to push the stroller and he’s six feet but mom is only 5 foot 1.

 

  • Washability: baby will soon spit up, spill juice, and have accidents in the stroller. Some strollers must be spot cleaned while others will allow the material portions to be thrown in the washing machine.

 

  • Brakes: You can find a stroller with a foot brake or hand brake. You really just have to test some out to figure out what you think you will like better.

 

  • Style: finding a stroller that fits your individual style can also be an important feature when you pick your stroller especially since you will have to use it for a while.

 

  1. How much do you want to spend on your purchase?

 

Strollers can be as cheap or as expensive as you want. There are some very economical yet functional strollers as well as some strollers that cost as much as your monthly mortgage at $900 or more. Choose your budget while you are deciding on the features you need.
