A baby stroller is also called a stroller or a tricycle with a parent's handle. This modern transport is suitable for walking in the warm season to children who are already sitting steadily.
A bicycle stroller will successfully replace a regular stroller for walking. This device is a tricycle equipped with an optional parental control handle and a shopping bag.
When to buy
It’s not worth buying a stroller-bike before your baby learns to sit confidently, that is, after 8 months. Many children enjoy riding it until 2-3 years old. Just pay attention that sitting in such a transport, sleeping on a walk for a child will not be very convenient.
Features of a baby carriage bicycle
Such transport combines the functionality of a bicycle and a stroller. When the baby grows up, you can transform the bicycle stroller into a classic tricycle. The handle, the back of the seat and other elements are simply removed. In addition to having a shopping basket and a parent handle, the bike has the following features:
- a large hood that protects the small passenger from the hot sun or bad weather;
- the seat is a comfortable high chair;
- the presence of seat belts and a bumper that will not allow the active baby to fall out;
- many bicycle strollers are equipped with a musical panel and a loud horn for entertaining crumbs;
- in most models, the angle of inclination and height of the removable handle for parents is adjustable;
- the backrest of the child seat is adjustable, but, unlike strollers for walking, it is not possible to lower the backrest to 180 degrees in the bicycle stroller.
This accessory for moving with a child is good in that it makes it possible to develop the independence of the child and show him initiative - he himself can choose where to go and pedal. Mom, at the same time, constantly monitors the situation. And if the child is tired, then you can take control with the help of the parental pen.
How to choose a wheelchair for children
Before purchasing, pay attention to such important points:
- If you opted for a model with a small hood from the sun, it is advisable that the angle of the tilt can be adjusted.
- Wheel size and material - unlike plastic wheels, rubber wheels provide better cushioning and will not rattle. The larger the diameter of the wheels, the better the cross-country ability of the bike.
- The function of locking the pedals and steering wheel of the bike stroller will not be superfluous. If the mother takes control, she will be able to block the steering wheel so that the child does not try to direct the transport to the other side. A pedal lock is useful for babies who still do not know how to ride - when moving, the rotating pedals will not hit the child in the leg.
- Bikes with a high back are a little more expensive, but more convenient for kids up to one and a half years.
