Baby Product Reviews:Strollers

Which stroller do you use for your baby?

There are many, many strollers available on the market. If possible, ask to test the stroller before you purchase it. Different strollers have different handling options and some are more user-friendly than others. Most newer strollers are easy to assemble and take down. Many of the strollers available can be converted with one hand, so that you can continue to hold your baby while doing so. When choosing a stroller, you should consider a few things:

Is this for a single baby or multiple babies?
Do you need space under the stroller? How much?
Cost
Is it easy to assemble and take down?
Is it easy to maneuver?
Do you want a lightweight or chunky stroller?

What kind of stroller did you decide to use with your baby? Was it easy to maneuver? How easy was it to set up and take down? Share your thoughts with other mothers that are in search of a stroller for their baby.As with any major baby purchase, always check for recalls before purchasing a stroller.

I used a PegPerego Venezia for my first baby 5+ years ago, loved it. It's still in excellent condition and I plan on using it with this baby. Also bought a BOB revolution jogger and it's amazing! wonderful suspension (I can excercise without worrying about bumps and curbs) and it folds up quickly, is easy to spot clean (I used a fabric protecting spray on the area where the little one's feet will go) and so far so good. good luck to all

hello- has anyone used the snow stroller? I am having a baby this winter and I remember how hard it was pushing my son around in a regular stroller in the snow, there is no way I want to go through that again I spent more time trying to carry the stroller cause it always got stuck. This thing looks really cool but I wanted to know if anyone has tried this before I buy one. http://sanki.ca/sanki/ thanks!

dh wanted me to look up on double stroller travel systems. The ones that actually come with the car seats. He says that he has seen them before, but after looking till I was blue in the face, I can't for the life of me find one. Has anybody heard of these, know where I can look at one, price one ect?

***GRACO STROLLER RECALL**** Graco Children's Products is recalling 1.5-million strollers after some children had their fingertips amputated by canopy hinges. The recall includes certain model numbers of Graco's Passage, Alano and Spree Strollers and Travel Systems. The Consumer Product Safety Commission says the Pennsylvania company received seven reports of children placing their fingers in the stroller's canopy hinge while it was being opened or closed. Five children had their fingertips severed and two children received cuts on their fingertips. The recalled strollers were made in China and sold by major retailers nationwide from October 2004 to December 2009. For more information and a list of model numbers, consumers can call 800-345-4109.

Spent ages looking for a double buggy that was small enough but good enough for two babies. I found that Phil and Teds sports buggies are very good and can be converted to single and double pushchair as much as you like, so if you have a newborn and a toddler that isnt going to last much longer in pushchair as they want to walk it is a great purchase to have.

Hi all I am due to have my first baby in April. I have no idea about prams but have heard the baby jogger is great? Any comments??

mommymcginnis - 1291 days ago.
I am currently looking for a good double stroller, so far I am thinking about the bob revolution not sure yet. it seems like it will be too wide to fit through my doorway, I'm just really not that fond of some of the other choices like the kolcraft contours or.. *pauses* the graco bleck. Anyways all my searching inspired me to write an article haha lemme know what you think or add some advice http://www.bukisa.com/articles/188968_finding-the-best-double-stroller-for-your-family

i had peg perego pliko with my first child and i loved it. we took it everywhere. it's light and full size stroller. with my second daughter i did some research (peg perego skate, bugaboo and uppa). i end up buying uppa and it's the best.

babytimbit - 1378 days ago.
Hi ladies, I was wondering if any one has had any experience with the peg perego skate. From what i have seen i really like this stroller, but would like any input from any one who has used this stroller. This is my first baby and as a result im a newbie when it comes to stollers. We do plan on getting the peg perego car seat.

I'm the double stroller queen right now, so I'll recommend a few. For newborn twins the peg perego duette with steering wheel is awesome. I recommend buying the peg perego car seats so you can transfer the babies from stroller to car without waking them up. It steers like a dream, and is the rolls royce of double strollers. For outdoor activities and trips to the zoo, amusement park, etc... the valco trimode twin is the best you can get. It has excellent sun shades, huge baskets, fully reclining seats, tons of storage and compartments, it fits through doors, can go off-roading, and looks incredible. For quick trips to the store, or when you want a lightweight stroller the maclaren twin triumph is the best. I researched all of the side by side umbrella strollers and this one is the best made, easiest to push, has fully reclining seats, and is easy to open and close. The sun shades are terrible, but I bought a protect a bub twin sun shade that fixes that problem. I love all of my twin strollers!!!!

anxiousmomma - 1498 days ago.

Hello everyone in Strollers... I wanted to say that the Peg Perego Duette stroller is big and bulky and I want to get rid of it!!! It's a nice stroller, but it really doesnt fit us as we dont have twins (which I think would be a nice stroller if we had twins). I am selling it if anyone is interested... We are now looking at the Sit N Stands... Baby trend and one step ahead makes them... I like them, and they will be what we need/want as they WILL fit in our car, and they are versitile as we have a 1 year old and one on the way, so once our 1 year old is up and walking all the time and just wants to sit down for rests, then I think this is the stroller fo us... If anyone has one, please let me know what you think, and if you are selling one, please let me know... :)

Here are some added things to consider when choosing one ~ I've had 3 kids and 5 strollers. These are things I found with mine that made me like or dislike it ~

Does it fit into my car trunk? Bought one I LOVED and found it didnt :(

Is the back of the seat high enough so that when my older toldder is recline his head will not flop over edge (saw in many that this was a concern and many tots are in them beyond the age of 2 on occassion.)

Will my diaper bag fit underneath, another BIG thing I found was a concern at times.

Does it have a cup holder many high end ones dont and let me tell you, when you are out shopping you want a place to put your drink,sippy or the bottle other then just below. More then one holder is best, if it doesnt come with one check to see if htey have an option to get one that snaps on, some do.

How many recline positions are there? Many have just 2 and that is not good, if your child wants to sleep best almost fully reclined is best and an inbetween angle is good too, I found two of mine didnt offer the best placement.

Is there a tray for my child and does it come off? I had one without the tray and it was such a pain! My son cant leaning forward to touch the wheels and I was afraid he'd get hurt.

How big is the visor, some are tiny and do very little to block sun or rain.

Will it push easily on the grass? Many places you will visit will not have a smooth level ground, so you want it to move easily on rough areas. Hope this helps :)

Check out a double stroleer at www.onestepahead.com They have great products. There is 'Sit 'n Stand Elite Stroller and Double Stroller' that you can use in many ways: with a seat and car seat, with 2 seats, with 1 seat and 1 Stand for an older child. It's great!

Okay so... i currently have a 2 1/2 year old, and i am pregnant with my second... I have been looking for a stroller that I can put the baby in back with the infant carseat 'at least for the first few months')and the toddler in the front. Does anyone have any suggestions? Everyone that we have tried our toddlers head hits the infant carseat. Help!
