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.
And you'll find that there are some practical problems getting around with a new baby too. Suddenly you can't rush out at the last minute, jump in the car and go. Getting in the car with baby has become a longer more drawn out process.
In the past you could buy a pram. A solid steel pram. It was solid and heavy, and very hard to fold up and put in the car. It was inconvenient. When you were going out you had to allow 20 minutes to get the pram and baby into the car.
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 there's many more benefits to a modern baby stroller too. They should have reclining seats, so baby can either sit up or lie down, and so is much more comfortable at any time. And they have adjustable footrests too, so as baby grows the footrest can be moved.
And if mum is taking baby shopping she will also need plenty of storage space for that. And also good stroller brakes.
While on the subject of brakes make sure the stroller you get has a foot operated brake that operates brakes on all wheels at the same time. The brakes should be good enough to hold a fully loaded stroller on a hill, although you shouldn't ever park the stroller on a hill unless absolutely necessary. And if you do then put the brakes on but also park the stroller across the hill for optimum safety.
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 as safety is always so important here's 2 more tips. Make sure you never leave baby in the stroller is you're going up stairs. Try and find a lift, or if necessary take baby out of the stroller.
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 surprisingly a good new stroller is very affordable. You can find stroller brand new at an extremely affordable price if you know where. A stroller is very cheap convenience for you and comfort for baby.
