Medical Video: General Stroller Guide | Which Stroller Do I Purchase?
For babies and toddlers who have not run smoothly, the stroller can be very helpful when you want to take a walk out of the house. However, you may not use any baby stroller. Among the various choices of types and models of strollers on the market, baby safety factors must be prioritized.Here are some ways to choose a stroller that is safe for your baby.
The types of baby stroller according to your needs
Standard baby stroller
The standard stroller is the most common type of baby stroller, with a soft and comfortable seating model. The stroller backrest can be adjusted according to the needs of the baby. This baby stroller also has a different type of baby sitting position. There is a baby sitting position facing the front and there are also facing toward the parents. Usually this type of baby stroller has a storage area at the bottom of the seat.
Umbrella stroller
This stroller has the lightest weight. Generally, this stroller does not have additional accessories, such as shelves or storage baskets. One of the advantages of this stroller is its small size so it is easy to store and release. In addition, the price is cheaper.
This stroller is usually used for babies who can sit alone, usually for those aged 6 months or more.
Travel stroller
This type of stroller is a type of multifunctional baby stroller that combines the usual stroller concept with a baby car seat. The stroller can be installed in the car as a baby seat sitting during the trip, and released for you to carry the baby around afterwards. You can also install this baby seat on the frame, to operate like a stroller in general.
Jogging stroller
As the name implies, this stroller is intended for those of you who want to invite your baby to exercise or take a walk outdoors. Therefore, this stroller is made with different wheels, with three larger wheels.
Double stroller
This type of stroller can be shaped side by side or in front of the back. Adjacent stroller models are suitable for twins or two babies with the same western body. While the front stroller is sometimes difficult to drive or drive.
Choose a safe and comfortable baby stroller
The stroller itself can actually be used for babies and toddlers up to the age of 3-4 years, before the child can really run smoothly on his own. After determining the type of stroller according to your needs and your family, there are several other things that must be considered before buying it.
1. Check the brakes on the baby stroller
Some baby stroller has brakes that lock two wheels at a time, not just one wheel as usual. Choose the stroller brake that you think is the easiest to use. Then, make sure also that the brakes cannot be reached by the child's hand.
2. Check the quality of the seat belt
Baby stroller in general haschoice of three key or five key seat belts. The five-key seat belt is considered safer because this belt will help maintain the waist, shoulders, and between legs. This is needed especially for children who are younger. Also pay attention to the ease of fitting, and the tightness of the belt when circling the little one's body.
3. Pay attention to the weight limit
Baby stroller generally has a weight limit. If the child's weight exceeds this limit, it is feared that the stroller will become unstable. Also, avoid using a single stroller to be used to carry more than one child.
4. Height or low handle of the stroller
Adjust the handle of the baby stroller to your height or other adults who will push it. The stroller handle should be around the waist or slightly lower. To be safe, look for a stroller with an adjustable handle.
5. Look for a chair that can be adjusted
If the stroller is used for babies under 6 months, make sure the chair can be adjusted until it is in a near lying position. Because, these children are still unable to support their heads and sit perfectly. Above that age, the position of the reclining chair is needed to provide comfort during sleep.
6. Check where to put your feet
Avoid choosing a stroller that is facilitated by a saddle where you place your legs that separate your right and left legs. We recommend that you find a foot that is not separated, to avoid the child's feet caught in between.
7. Canopies (stroller hoods), should you?
Yes. Choose a stroller with a canopy hood that can protect the baby's body from wind, sunlight, and rain. In addition, you should choose a stroller canopy that is easily removed until it is easier to clean.
Before deciding to buy a baby stroller, you should ...
Before you finally decide to decide to buy your chosen baby stroller, you should first check the balance of the baby stroller. Do not let you buy a baby stroller that is easily rolled, which will endanger your baby.
You also have to take into account the balance of the baby stroller when you add luggage, such as baby gear or other items, make sure the stroller keeps running stable.
Before you decide to buy a baby stroller, you should also try using it. Put your baby on the stroller then try pushing the stroller. Make sure the wheels run properly and you can also comfortably push the stroller.
