Choosing a stroller: what to consider

Introduction

Choosing a stroller is a personal and important decision. Here's what to consider.

Types

Combined stroller - consists of a basket (lying position) and a seat (sitting position). Lasts longer but is harder.
Stroller - lighter, suitable from 6 months.
3-in-1 - basket, seat, car seat - the most versatile, but the heaviest.
Travel stroller - light, compact, good for travel.

Place of use

In the city - maneuverability, compactness, good suspension on curbs are important.
On land - bigger wheels, good suspension, durable frame.
Public transport - light, easy to assemble.
In the car - check if it fits in the trunk.

Weight and size

How much do you weigh and can you lift? How small is the elevator or storage room? Measure the doorways - will the pram fit through?

Safety and comfort

5 point seat belts, brakes that work well. Adjustable handle for parents of different lengths. Good suspension - the child does not shake. Large and adjustable hood - protects from sun and wind.

Appendices

Basket for things, rain stick, mosquito net, leg warmer - they can be included or bought as extras. Think about what you really need.

Used carriage

Check the frame - there must be no rust, dents. Wheels - wear, condition of bearings. Fabric - stains, tears. Brakes - working. Wash and disinfect before use.
