Stroller Guide

1. Types of Strollers

There are various types of strollers, each designed for different needs and lifestyles:

• Full-Sized Strollers: These are sturdy and durable, offering the most comfort and features but can be bulky and expensive.

• Umbrella Strollers: Lightweight and portable, these are ideal for travel but may not be suitable for newborns.

• Jogging Strollers: Designed for active parents, these strollers provide a smooth ride on various terrains but can be heavy and unwieldy in tight spaces.

• Travel System Strollers: These combine a stroller and car seat, providing convenience but can be bulky.

• Double Strollers: Perfect for twins or siblings close in age, these strollers offer two seats but can be large and heavy.

• Pram Strollers: Classic baby carriages that allow for full reclining, ideal for newborns but often pricey and less portable.
