Winter strollers

October 12, 2020

When choosing a stroller , it is first and foremost important to consider its seasonality : during the cold season, you should give preference to models with iron wheels and windproof, waterproof materials.

When buying, it is advisable to consider how long you need the stroller for: do you plan to use it for just one season, or will you use it as your child grows? After that, you should make a consistent choice based on several parameters:

Stroller type:

A stroller with a deep basket, repeating the anatomical position of the child and protecting him from rain, snow and wind. It is also worth considering the solid sides and excellent stability, but it should also be noted that this type of stroller is often inconvenient.

Such strollers are suitable for babies up to a year old, sometimes up to 6-7 months, after which the little ones will need another stroller.

2-in-1 or 3-in-1 are universal strollers that convert the child's seat from a "lying" position to a "sitting" position.

Stroller-transformers or cradles - ideal for winter, late autumn and early spring. In this case, it is necessary to take into account the size of the child along with warm clothes, which should not cause discomfort to your little ones.

Production materials

Manufacturers use waterproof membrane fabrics for the sides and roof, which are windproof, so children in the crib feel comfortable even in frost.

Wheels

The wheels of a baby stroller can be made of foam material, such wheels are often found in lightweight strollers that are easy to maneuver and have better grip on hard and loose surfaces. Shock absorption is another important part that ensures comfortable movement. In addition, when choosing, you should also pay attention to the braking system of the wheels.

Headscarf

Strollers for the fall-winter season must have a rigid frame, a solid bottom surface, and high sides.

The hood of a winter stroller should be deep, under which neither snow nor raindrops can leak. Ideally, it should be closed with a radius of more than 90 degrees. In sunny or warm weather, a polymer or mesh window can be made on it.

Weight of the cart

The weight of the stroller should be proportional to its maneuverability: more mass means less speed, but at the same time greater stability. If the stroller sometimes has to be lifted by hand by the parent, then the capabilities of the young mother should be taken into account.

This recommendation should also be taken into account if you have to travel frequently by car. In the latter case, you should pay attention to the possibility of folding the stroller and placing it in the trunk.

Additional accessories:

Among the additional options that make life easier for parents, you should pay attention to the following:

A shopping basket, usually located at the bottom of the cart;
A bag for baby care accessories and necessary items;
The height of the stroller's handle determines the ease of movement. As a rule, there should be a possibility of adjusting the height;
Handle cover - foam polymer, rubber, textile;
Color matching is more a matter of taste and practicality. The only thing you should pay attention to is the range of shades. Light-colored strollers are more visible to dirt and are more difficult to clean.
