How to choose a best stroller

By the choice of the vehicle (and to a large extent and habitat) for your child should be treated with the utmost care. Do not lose sight of the fact that from your correct choice depends not only on the comfort and safety of the child (this can not be forgotten), but also your own comfort and even to some extent your safety!
We will try to help you in this important matter.

What are BUGGY?

Strollers

 
Strollers are designed for grown up kids. Usually they are light, compact, well-folded. There are even so-called buggies, folded, shaped like a cane, wheelchair and backpacks that can be folded, wearing on his shoulders. However strollers are suitable only for kids who can sit. Sleep in them uncomfortable (except in emergencies); small plastic wheels bad driving on our sidewalks broken (cracked asphalt - the illness of Israeli sidewalks) in the stroller in the winter cold.

Stroller-transformers



now fashionable word "transformer" is usually called a carriage, easily turns from a cradle stroller best and back. If bought stroller-transformer you want, the "transport problem" in principle can be considered solved - it is certainly a great benefit. In addition, the pros can write compact (typically transformers stroller best easy to fold) and relatively low weight - this will save you from many problems related to transport, shops, elevators, etc. Cons: small height makes it difficult for you to care for the child (whenever you want to correct blanket or give the baby a pacifier, you have to bend down low enough). Being light enough (in comparison with universal carriages), as pleasure-transformers stroller is undoubtedly too heavy and somewhat bulky. According to our observations, this is the most extended ones carriage type in Israel.

Travel Systems



More variety Chair - TC. This is a common stroller best - with integrated transformer car seat for the baby (Sal-Cal) is mounted directly on the carriage (see illustration). Thus, there is no need to wake the child when boarding the vehicle. When buying a stroller you should check whether there is a complete basis for the seats, which are always in the car - a device very easy life.

Universal wheelchair



Not to be confused with strollers-transformers! It works not transformational, but rather a modular principle on a universal chassis can be installed closed cart (there are even models that with the growth of the baby, these baskets can be changed) or seat best stroller. This stroller is free from many of the disadvantages of transformer: a newborn baby will enjoy it all "entitlements," he comforts (not shakes, warm, close to the mother, the rain is not terrible), and the older child can sitting survey the neighborhood, and many chassis carriages arranged so that the pushchair seat can be oriented in two ways: face or his back to the "driver". Modern universal prams are equipped, as a rule, larger wheels, increasing their permeability. The main disadvantage: stroller quite heavy and bulky. If you are driving on a regular family car (and not on the Wen), then you will have to disconnect the basket and put it into the interior, and only then to lay the chassis in the trunk.

On what to stop? All, of course, it depends on your circumstances, tastes and means. It is possible for the first time to get a stroller best , carrycot, aside solve stroller. You can restrict a stroller-transformer or buy a wheelchair-transformer plus a light stroller best . You can buy a universal stroller with two (or more) "bodies" and to her, if you think it necessary and resources permitting, - again a light stroller. But whatever you decide, do not take a "pig in a poke!" When buying a stroller you should be fully aware of what you want from it - and, in general, and of each of its elements.

WHAT IS THE STROLLER?

Body (basket stroller-bassinet, stroller seat) . Do not forget to check out how a body (this also applies to the basket, and to the seat) to the chassis. Fixing must be: (a) strong; (b) symmetric (ie, the child should not be "filled up" on one side). And a few more general requirements. It is desirable that the materials used for the decoration of the body, were natural (this is especially important for interior design) and waterproof (especially outside). Very well, if the interior of the body - removable, allowing the laundry (best car). Conveniently the body is provided with handles on the sides or carrying straps. Note the dimensions. On the one hand, the body has to be spacious, to the child was not crowded. On the other hand, it is important not to overdo it: stroller should be free to enter the elevator (unless, of course, you use the elevator), and so that it was also the place for you. There is a body which can be used as car seats - to carry the baby in the car.
Shopping should be warm enough, especially if you need a stroller closed in winter. Some of the basket on the bottom and sides are equipped with so-called "safety cage" - a rigid (usually plastic) frame, which plays a role not only protect, but also insulation. Shopping with the safety cage must necessarily have a ventilation system or, more simply, the holes in the plastic, which can be closed if necessary. It happens that the basket is attached to a special removable sidenitse, fixed directly within the basket - for kids who are just beginning to sit: they are not ready to switch completely to the promenade "sit-down" the wheelchair, but always lie no longer willing.

If you buy a wheelchair-transformer or a universal carriage with full body, pay attention to the stroller seat. The seat must be equipped with seat belts: even the quietest child may be without them fall out of the stroller. Tripping seats must not cut the legs of the baby (it can be plastic or metal, but with a cloth bedding); better when it is fixed in several positions.

Chassis (frame with mounts for the wheels, shock absorbers, etc.) Chassis must be made of light and durable alloy. Note the shock absorbers: they provide a smooth ride and - largely - stroller stability. Shock absorbers are variables, but in the modern wheelchair, they often represent a spring or plastic joints. Well, if the plastic hinge dampers are closed with metal shields. Sometimes hinge dampers are also provided with springs. There are shock absorbers with springs, which are, in fact, resilient metal structure.

Handle . Conveniently, if the wheelchair design allows height adjustment knob, adjusting it for growth "driver" stroller. Well, if the handle is formed (do not forget to close the elevators!). It is also convenient if you can flip to depending on the circumstances and your desire kid could look at you or (more precisely - you're at it), or - forward into the opening given to him. Check how secure grip and how durable and easy put on her plastic cap (if it breaks, you have to keep hold of the metal, which is not very nice).

Accessories . To modern carriages attached mass of a wide variety of accessories. Here are just some of them.

Tent (aka Hood), designed to provide protection from the sun and rain, should cover as much as possible in the raised position, and how you can be able to open more lowered. Some modern wheelchairs tent is designed in such a way that the bottom part can be mounted on the front (ie, far from the "driver"), and in the background (ie, close to the "driver") end of the carriage body. This is very useful in protecting the child from the sun, which tries to penetrate the shaded seemingly carriage by changing its "course", as well as self-promotion on the horizon.

Apron - cover, wear on the cart or the seat to protect it from rain, wind, etc. Apron with an awning should form a comfortable and convenient for the "house" of the child, in which he transcend any bad weather.

Plastic Case . Along with the usual apron, some carriages are equipped with a waterproof plastic cover truly cosmic type - this armor to rescue from torrential rainstorms, snowstorms and other natural disasters. For regular, "full-time" walking the plastic cover is not suitable, because they do not leak air.

Rear step . This is for the second (older) children.

Luggage Cart . Usually attached to the chassis. Braves quite a lot of weight.

Bag baggage . Modern wheelchairs made of the same material as the interior of the body. Mounted to the handle. It may turn into a pillow on which my mother will be softer and easier to, say, pass the time on the bench, while the baby sleeps.

When buying any stroller definitely check whether the mother herself will be able, without assistance to do with it all the necessary manipulations: folded / spread out; raise / lower the awning; fix / remove the basket for luggage; remove / install the body, etc. etc. (And by the way, just pick up the entire "unit" in general - sadly, it is sometimes necessary).
