The announcement of the arrival of a baby often makes everyone happy family. But when the time comes to buy the necessary, such as a stroller, we quickly fall back to earth. Here are our tips for choosing the right one.
If you choose to buy a new stroller
For the baby's equipment, it is very important to weigh the pros and cons , aesthetics and practicality. A stroller only lasts for a child's first two years. It is therefore better to think about the weight, functionality and maneuverability of the stroller than its color or design.
Providing that the weight of the child will be added to that of the stroller can save you a lot of suffering. When you buy the stroller, ask the saleswoman to explain to you the manipulation in order to fold the stroller. So you will see immediately if it is practical to use.
If you buy a used stroller
it costs less, it prevents it from being thrown away, but be careful of the wear on the wheels. A good stroller is a stroller that can roll everywhere and which above all should not let you go in the middle of a walk.
Once the stroller is in hand, how do you maintain it?
For cleaning, it is better to use natural products such as soap with lukewarm water so as not to take the risk of damaging the fabric and less toxic for the baby. What is very important are the wheels and everything that allows the stroller to fold. They must therefore be oiled regularly.
A precaution for baby's safety
The child from his birth until his first steps, must always be attached in the stroller. As a precaution for the newborn who may turn out to be an early stuntman!
Buying a good stroller in good working order will allow you to keep it until your child walks, and even for the little brothers and sisters who follow.
Better to spend a little more and have the assurance of never being stuck with a stroller plus the child. A quality stroller can very well be bought second-hand provided you check the condition of the wheels and everything that moves.
