Baby stroller or stroller is increasingly being used as a tool for parents , especially when you want to travel with your child . However, the security factor must be the main concern compared to other factors.

How to Choose a Safe Baby Stroller

Prioritize Safety Factors when Choosing a Baby Stroller

In addition to consideration of appearance and price, some safety factors for baby stroller that must be considered are:

  • Practical brakes
    Some stroller has a brake that locks two wheels at once, not just one wheel as usual. Choose the brake stroller that you think is the easiest to use. Then, make sure that the brakes cannot be reached by the child's hand. Stroller with disc brakes or disc brakes will provide extra security when going uphill or downhill.
  • Seat belt durability
    Generally for stroller, there are choice of seat belt three points or five points. Five-point seat belts are considered safer because they include the waist, shoulders, and between the thighs. This is needed primarily to protect younger children. Also note the ease of use and make sure the size is right when used around the child's body.
  • Pay attention to the weight limit

Baby stroller generally has a weight limit for a child who can use it. If it is too heavy, it is feared to make the stroller become unstable and less comfortable to use. Also avoid using a single stroller to carry more than one child.

  • How to stroller
    Choose a stroller that can move straight. Usually, a stroller with front and rear wheels that can rotate will be more easily deflected. Try deflecting the stroller with one hand, for the best choice.
  • High or low grip stroller
    Adjust the handle of the baby stroller with parental height or an adult who will push it. The stroller handle should be around the waist or slightly lower. If a different stroller will be driven by several different people, look for a stroller with adjustable handles.
  • Adjustable seats
    If the stroller is used for babies under 6 months, make sure the seat is adjusted until it is almost lying down. Because, the child is still not able to support the head and sit perfectly. Above this age, the position of the reclining chair is necessary to provide comfort during sleep.
  • Place to put your feet

    Avoid places to place your feet under the stroller that separates your right and left legs. It is recommended to choose the place of the foot that is not separated, to avoid the foot of the child trapped between them.

  • Canopy equipment

    Choose a stroller with a canopy that can protect from wind, light the sun, and rain. Choose a stroller with an easily removable canopy, making it easier to clean

  • Adjust to special conditions

    For special baby stroller, for example twin baby tandem stroller, there some things that need attention. Stroller for twins will be much heavier than a single stroller. If you need a stroller that is easier to move, select the tandem stroller in the front and rear position. A tandem stroller with side position will be more difficult through a narrow door or road.

Baby stroller is very appropriate to help transport babies and make it easier for parents when traveling with your child. Choose the baby stroller that best suits your needs. Consult a pediatrician if your baby or child has special conditions that require adjustment in using the stroller.
