Types of Baby Strollers
There are many types of baby strollers available on the market: strollers for newborns, toddlers, twins, triplets, quadruplets and more! And there's a stroller for just about any activity a parent would like to do with their child.
It's overwhelming to look at the endless variety of models out there. That's why I want to help you narrow down the possibilities by giving you information to help you realize what you really need in a baby stroller.
So before we continue, have you answered the 7 important questions about baby strollers? If you haven't,
do this first.
Remember, the "perfect" stroller doesn't exist. You need to find one that’s best for you and your lifestyle. Always keep that in mind!
There are basically 7 types of baby strollers:
Lightweight strollers
are the smallest, lightest and most basic baby strollers available and include umbrella strollers, which get their name from the curved double handles and from the fact that they fold up easily and compactly like an umbrella.
Standard strollers
are single mid-sized strollers. In their simplest form, they provide a seat for your child and somewhere for you to push, but can have many more features depending on the price.
Stroller travel systems
are the ultimate in convenience for a parent with a newborn. Basically, it is a good-sized stroller with an infant car seat that clips in and out. If you are planning to buy only one stroller, this may be the one you need.
Universal car seat carriers
are a metal frame with stroller wheels onto which you can clip most brands of infant car seats.
Multi-child strollers are built for transporting
twins,
triplets
and even
quadruplets and quintuplets.
They are also good for
two children who are close in age
or even
three children of similar ages
(for example, a toddler and twin babies).
Active strollers are specially designed for health-minded parents who regularly enjoy physical activity with their children. They include
jogging strollers
and
all-terrain strollers
. There are also
bike trailers/strollers,
and child carriers for
hiking
and cross-country
skiing.
Baby carriages or prams
are essentially a solid backward-facing bassinet on a frame with four large wheels. They are the classic image of a baby carriage.
