Tinyride prides itself on being the best site for strollers – and we sell only the best rated strollers. But even so, parents have to weigh a lot of variables to ensure that they buy exactly what they want. In terms of strollers, it’s important to think through what specifically you want in a baby stroller. The number and variety of choices can be daunting for parents trying to make a stroller comparison: Maclaren, BOB, Bugaboo, and so many others. The following considerations are crucial when purchasing a stroller:
Price. You can spend from $200 to over $1,000 for a stroller, so it’s smart to know what your budget is before you shop. (To see Tinyride’s selection of discount toddler strollers, check out are On Sale and Clearance pages.)
Type of stroller. There are numerous varieties of strollers out there. Jogging strollers. Biking strollers. Hiking strollers. Double use strollers or triple use strollers for those with two or three children. Regular car seats. Or “convertibles” with child stroller seats that also can be used as carriers. For some parents, a lightweight stroller with an infant car seat is the ideal solution, while you might need a heavy-duty model to handle long distances.
Where the stroller will be used. A frequently overlooked consideration in a baby stroller purchase is where you will be using the stroller. Think of all the places you go on a weekly basis. Do you drive or take the bus? If you drive, how big is your trunk? Where else could you be using your stroller: Grocery and drug stores with narrow aisles? Sidewalks, pavement, or gravel? Shopping malls? Carpet, stairs, or escalators and elevators? Jogging trails? Keep all these locales and terrains in mind when considering which stroller to buy. The stroller needs to be able to go where you go.
Safety. All our best rated strollers are safe, but they have different degrees of stability, depending on how they will be used. How much stability do you need? Especially sturdy construction can give parents some confidence on this front, but there’s a trade-off with increased weight. A child stroller holding 40 lbs. will require stronger construction than one designed for an infant. Make sure to check how the “seat belts” or restraints work. Not only do you want to make sure the child stroller seat is secure, but you want to ensure that your baby can’t crawl out of the stroller if you turn your back.
Other important considerations. Ease of handling. Maneuverability. Tire type. Is there a canopy? Can you adjust the seat? Comfort of the baby stroller is a big key as well – both for your child and for you. Adjustability of the child stroller seat. Ease of storage in both your home and your vehicle. And of course, style and color.
As you can see, buying the right stroller for you takes careful considerations of the above factors.
