The birth of a new inhabitant of the planet is always joy and happiness. But along with this, there are new chores associated with various aspects of the baby's life. And one of them is walking. It is sometimes very difficult to choose one or another model. Even a stroller you like at first glance can be uncomfortable, impractical or heavy. How to navigate the variety of vehicles for children and what are the best strollers recommended by parents, this will be discussed further.

So you've come to the store. What parameters should be followed to choose the right stroller?

We focus on the type of case

There are several of them:

- Classic carrycot. It does not unfold, does not change position, except when lying down. Children usually ride in it for up to eight months, after which it becomes cramped and uninteresting for them. The advantages of this type are that it is designed very comfortably for babies: a rigid body, a deep hood, it is not blown or wet. Minus - it will last a maximum of six months, after which it will have to be changed.

- 2 in 1. Slightly improved classic type. It is believed that the best strollers 2 in 1more practical in cold climates. The design supports two positions: a cradle and a walking option. When children can already sit up and begin to be interested in the world around them, this option will last at least 2 years. But in summer it can be hot and uncomfortable.

- 3 in 1. An option in which another element joins the 2 in 1 type - a car seat for children up to 3-4 months. A significant disadvantage is that because of the car seat, the price immediately increases by almost 20%, and the device itself will last very little.

- Transforming stroller. This category most often includes summer strollers. Their main position is sitting, but if necessary, they can be completely expanded for lying. This type is convenient for the summer period or for children older than a year. Babies will be cold and uncomfortable in it.

- Walking type. This is a variant of the exclusively seated plan. They take it for children who already walk confidently, but occasionally they need to relax, sit. Ideal for the warm season. In winter, it is replaced by sleds.

Safety and convenience for baby and parents

The best strollers are always child friendly. If we are talking about a baby, then he needs a rigid structure that excludes kinks and partitions, like in transforming strollers. The sleeping place should be as warm as possible in winter, not blown or wet. The latest models have a special lifting baffle that can be fastened to a button during bad weather. At the same time, there is a small gap for air, but not for wind.

In the summer, the stroller should protect from dust and heat, but at the same time not obstruct the free movement of air. For these purposes, nets are provided in the kit.

So that the baby does not jump on bumps, the stroller must have good cushioning, at the same time comfortable for motion sickness. This parameter is also important for parents, because the better the design is thought out, the easier it is to manage.

Moms and dads are picky about choosing the best strollers for their kids. For them, convenience, lightness, the ability to fold and place in the trunk are important. In addition, children need to take food and clothes with them, so they are guided by the attached basket or bag.

Manufacturer Focus

For many years, the best vehicles for newborns have been considered copies from leading European manufacturers: Italian (Peg Perego, Chicco, Inglesina), German (Hartan), English (Silvercross), Portuguese (Bebecar). At the same time, each of the companies boasts of its special parameters. So, Italians know a lot about summer strollers, German models are very strong and reliable, and Portuguese models perfectly combine practicality and functionality.

To the list of the best strollers from manufacturers are starting to catch up and closer neighbors - the Poles. TAKO, Lonex, Caramelo, Roan, Baby Design and a few others produce very affordable models. And let their quality be slightly inferior to the rest of the European representatives, but they are more accessible to the domestic parent. And a very important plus - their modelsperfectly adapted to the conditions of the harsh Russian winter.

Among the budget category, our compatriots - Little Trek, "Sagittarius" and Chinese partners - Baby Care, Geoby, are in the lead. The strollers of this group can be used for more than one year and you will not regret if it breaks.

We equip in winter

If your baby was born in the cold season, then you will be interested to read what is the best stroller for winter.

First of all, you need to pay attention to the NOORDI Arctic sport 2 in 1 model from the Norwegian manufacturer. The harsh climate of this country forced the developer to create an insulated cradle with triple filling. Ideal for the north and regions with cold windy winters. In addition, the baby vehicle has a very beautiful design with an unusual ornament. Comfortable fit, maneuverability and lightness puts you ahead of the best strollers. Reviews of this model indicate only excellent quality and reliability.

Emmaljunga Mondial Duo Combi Leatherette. The stroller has many advantages: the best quality, eco-leather, strength, reliability. A soft ride is provided by double springs, a deep hood and windproof covers are provided. The high tongue will protect from wind and bad weather. The disadvantages of the model are a significant weight of 17 kg.

Camarelo Sevilla is considered the best affordable stroller for winter. It has a cradle and a walking block. But the Polish manufacturer tried to make the quality affordable, so you can safely go to the store for this particular model.

Noordline Edel. Good warm German cradle with car seat. The manufacturer from Germany is famous for the fact that the material used for winter models is sometimes even too warm for the middle lane. So you can keep warm to a minimum. But northerners will like the model.

Summer strollers for newborns

What should be the best lightweight stroller for newborns in the warm season? Of course, first of all, parents pay attention to comfort and convenience for themselves and the baby. Walking type does not immediately fit. You need a solid soft cradle, but not insulated so that the baby does not mate. We suggest considering this type of stroller. Ranking of the best (according to moms and dads):

1. The Bugaboo Bee is a very small and compact stroller. The newborn is in it in a special cradle-liner. If required, the baby can be additionally fastened with seat belts. The seat unit is designed for up to 4 years.
2. Silver Cross Dazzle. It is a classic cane. In a sitting position, you cannot even assume that the stroller is intended for babies. But if you unfold it in a special way, a carrying cradle is placed in it, and the baby feels comfortable and safe.
3. Phil and Teds Smart high carrycot. It does not have a seat unit, but it comes with a car seat. Very compact and tiny. The downside is that a child older than a year will no longer fit in it.
4. Cybex Callisto. The stroller, despite its versatility, is very well thought out. It looks rather non-trivial, with small wheels and an unusual fit. Converts to carrycot and comes with a car seat.
5. TFK Buggster S-Air 2 in 1. Great German version. Very stylish. It has three wheels, but this only improves maneuverability. Folds into a cane and is a great set for a newborn.

Many mothers of children from 2 years old are tormented by the question of which stroller is light, best and roomy at the same time.

Therefore, summer strollers must meet the following main requirements:

The best Russian strollers

Everyone is talking about "Germans", "British" and "Poles". And why do we forget about our own manufacturer? After all, Little Trek strollers have earned the respect and trust of mothers and fathers throughout Russia. Many successful models have a modern style and design, which is combined with practicality and quality. And the main plus of all this is more than affordable price. Consider several models of our manufacturer.

Little Trek Cradle "Caprice" - a one-piece stroller, without a seat block. Material - impact-resistant plastic with several holes for air ventilation. There is a separate optionorder a car seat. Chassis with aluminum base and excellent cushioning. The bottom basket is open. A good, inexpensive and very reliable option.

Little Trek Cradle "Violet". The stroller is made in black and purple tones. It retains heat well in the winter and does not allow to rise in the summer. Dimensions allow you to warmly dress even a very large child. The covers are removable and can even be machine washed. Large diameter wheels, excellent cushioning.

Little Trek Cradle "Caramel". It has a nice beige color, suitable for both boys and girls. The handle has two positions, but the stroller itself does not transform into a seat unit. Comes with infant carrier.

It should be noted that the cradles themselves can be sold both separately and additionally equipped with a walking block for a fee. The average price of a cradle is 6500 thousand rubles. The walking block costs about the same. The car seat will cost 4-5 thousand rubles.

Is it worth overpaying?

Parents often wonder which stroller is best. Reviews of other moms and dads, forums on the Internet help to find the right answer. And most often in the list of ideal strollers there are copies, the cost of which significantly exceeds the estimated budget. Is it worth it to overpay for transport, which, in fact, will not last long?

It should be understood that the cost price, in addition to material, work and reliable design, also includes a fee for the brand name. Of course, choosing a European copy, you can be surethat the stroller will last for a long time and more than one generation. But they also have disadvantages. For example, Italian ones creak, English ones are unbearable, and German ones are too insulated for a warm climate.

The range of budget models is very wide. Perhaps a simpler option will be enough for a child for a year, because soon they will have to change the cradle to a walking block, and then to a sled and a cane stroller. When choosing, pay attention to all these nuances and calculate your budget.
