It doesn’t matter in which family the baby is supposed to be born, what kind of views on parenting are held by his parents, what kind of country will become the birthplace of the baby. The first vehicles - various strollers will help to plow its open spaces. Firms fight for the attention of parents, providing models for every taste and budget, taking into account fashion trends, especially the health of babies, their complexion and gender.
Baby carriages: types, advantages and disadvantages
Perhaps, it’s simply impossible to describe all types in one article, because manufacturers of children's goods create completely new, unique strollers every season. Firms that are in the greatest demand are trying to diversify their assortment as much as possible, nevertheless, all their products can be conditionally divided into several subspecies. So what kind of strollers are there?
Transformers They have a powerful body, a strong frame, one cradle and a walking block are included in one set, in which the baby will sit when he grows up. Some models are also equipped with a car seat, which helps save money and time for parents. The main disadvantages of transformers are their decent size and weight, as well as the inability to compactly place such a stroller in a house or apartment.
Strollers are less bulky, they are lightweight, fold up quickly and take up little space, but they are much lower and not as spacious as transformers.
Strollers canes are very lightweight, compact devices that can even fit in a cabinet, but it is forbidden to load it with purchases. A fragile frame is not designed for extra weight, and a large child in it can be cramped.
The best stroller companies are Chicco, Graco, ABC, Happy Baby, Anex, Peg Perego, Jetem. Each of them has its pros and cons, and even the same manufacturer may have very successful models or with their own nuances.
Leaders of sells
Baby stroller firms most in demand by parents are not always the best brands on the market. Unfortunately, the highest quality models have a corresponding cost, which is not affordable for the average citizen of our country.
Among the obvious favorites are representatives of low-cost manufacturers, mainly Chinese and Eastern European firms. There are plenty of strollers of such brands as Adamex, Geoby, Graco, Seca in children's stores, in addition to a bright design, they are distinguished by a wide variety of models. Such nuances as price, functionality and purpose must be taken into account in advance, and the stroller should be chosen, carefully weighing all its pros and cons.
Among the more expensive, but nonetheless affordable options are, of course, European brands. England (Happy Baby, Britax, Maclaren), Germany (TFK, Teutonia, FD-Design, Concord), Norway (Stokke, Noordi, Esperro). They make high quality strollers. The firms on this list offer classic four-wheeled cradles and newer models on three wheels with swivel mechanisms, transformers, light walking options and summer canes. In addition, European manufacturers produce very good strollers for twins, triplets and weather.
Cheap doesn't mean bad
It is generally accepted that the avaricious pays twice, and in this saying, there is no doubt, there is some truth and justice. But nevertheless, in cramped circumstances, it is not always worthwhile to pass by strollers from among inexpensive ones.
Most often, among the budget options are domestic brands, Chinese or from neighboring countries. Some of them deserve a positive assessment, despite the rather ridiculous price. For example, baby stroller companies from Poland make very good models, oriented not only to their own, domestic market, but also to all of Europe. Strollers Bebetto, Smile Line, Aneco, Tako, X-Lander have passed many successful tests on the most desperate off-road and are very popular and respected by mothers.
No no and one more time no!
Of course, readers want to know what kind of strollers to go by and not even think about purchasing them, but such advice cannot be fair and completely reliable. A lot depends on how the stroller is used, on what roads the mother carries the baby, and whether the economic department is overloaded.
To avoid mistakes and dissatisfaction, you should pay attention to such points:
Weight. A lightweight stroller is good, it is easier to move around with it, to lift it onto curbs or ramps, but heavy ones are more stable.
Dimensions The stroller should fit in the car, the elevator and not occupy the entire hallway space, you must understand in advance that the walking block, car seat and cradle that come with the transformer should fit somewhere.
Maneuverability. Swivel wheels are an excellent function, but sometimes they need to be fixed, it is very important to have a rocker handle, because deploying a baby with the entire unit is a difficult task and mom will not be able to cope with it alone.
The package should be as complete as possible, the standard is a bag, raincoat, mesh, cape, some manufacturers also offer strollers with a clutch, hanging shelves and cup holders, which greatly simplify the walk.
Wow!
And finally, the five most expensive and unusual children's "wagons".
Fendi Aprica costs 30 thousand dollars. The Fendi strollers cannot be called comfortable, their fur upholstery and luxurious design are beautiful, but not very practical.
The Silver Cross stroller is much cheaper - 12 thousand dollars. For this cost, the buyer will receive gilding, genuine leather and ermine fur as decoration.
A miracle from the German manufacturer Hesba is the Corrado model for 6 thousand “green” ones, it is distinguished by its convenience, naturalness of finishing materials and rather good equipment.
In the penultimate place is the American The Roddler, the details of which are custom-made, and its customers are put on the “white list” of the manufacturer’s regular customers. This product is not much reminiscent of strollers familiar to everyone, it has a bright and futuristic design.
The latter is also a $ 3,500 stroller from the United States, whose name is Orbit Baby System.
