are becoming more and more elaborate in their designs. This
article outlines the basic concept of each type of baby
stroller and what advantages or disadvantages they have.
For a newborn baby, you have the choice of going for a
traditional pram or a multi purpose stroller, which can do both
jobs with a few adjustments. A pram looks nice but some of the
better models can be expensive, especially as a pram may only
be used for the first few months. However, a pram can double
up as a second cot until the baby gets bigger.
A second problem the pram has compared to the stroller is its
size. They are ideal for walking on a large path or in the
park but they are almost impossible to get on most busses and
they are also hard to control in a busy shopping area.
In recent years, the baby stroller or buggy has become more
popular as they are generally more compact, light but still
offer the stability of a pram. A baby stroller can also be
used for many more months than a pram, even for years depending
on the model you choose.
Standard Baby Strollers - The standard stroller looks the most
like the traditional pram out of all the styles. It is also
the type that can perform the most number of tasks. As well as
a pushchair, it normally has a large amount of storage for bags
and accessories and also often comes with a detachable cot or
infant carrier. A good all-rounder.
Umbrella Baby Strollers / Buggies - The umbrella stroller is
the lightest and most compact of them all, and probably the
most popular for those reasons. These strollers are easier to
take on busses, trains and will fit nicely into the car boot.
They generally come with a rain hood and a small carrying tray
/ net underneath.
There is an even lighter version of this stroller, which
doesn't have a hood or any carrying compartments, it's very
portable but you have to hope it doesn't rain!
All Terrain Baby Strollers - This type of stroller is often a 3
wheeler and is the most stylish of the bunch. In fact, many
parents go for this type for the fashion element as much as
anything else. They can often be more expensive due to their
sleek design but do offer a comfortable ride for both passenger
and pusher. Bear in mind that many of these strollers are often
heavier than standard models.
Jogging Baby Strollers - Like the all terrain stroller, these
have air filled tires, which of course can puncture. These
will provide a smoother ride and capable of tackling rougher
terrain. The theory is you can keep fit while pushing your
child, as long as the baby is old enough.
Each baby stroller offers features, which may or may not be
suitable for you, so when you buy your stroller, keep in mind
how and where you are going to use it and you won't go far
wrong.
