General Baby Stroller Information Purchasing Guidelines
By: Weng Kin Chew

Baby strollers are an important accessory for easily and safely transporting our little ones from point A to point B.

Because safety and ease of use is of paramount importance, digging through the baby stroller pile to find the diamonds among the pebbles can be a tedious process.

Types of Baby Strollers:

* Lightweight

o maneuverable, convenient, affordable, minimal features

* Double/Multiple

o for more than 1 babies

* Prams

o European style, traditional carriage

* Jogging Baby Strollers

o sporty, for fast-paced and uneven surfaces

* Travel Systems

o convertible to car seat and baby carrier

Baby Strollers Materials:

* Plastic - lightweight

* Steel - durable but heavy

* Aluminium

- somewhere in between

Good-To-Have Features:

* Canopies, rain covers, hood

* Front bar

* Shock absorbers

* Storage space for essential baby items

Baby Strollers Buying Guidelines:

* Wide base to prevent tipping

* Proper safety belt and harness system

* Reliable wheel breaks

* Adjustable handle bars for parents of different height

* Backwards facing installation

* Removable, washable fabric

* Collapsible for easy storage and transport, but with reliable locking mechanism to prevent collapsing while in use

Armed with the above guidelines and a little dose of common sense, I believe evaluating baby strollers and making the right purchase decision should be quite straightforward for parents and parents-to-be.
