Choose a Phil And Ted Stroller To Suit Your Lifestyle
1. Which activities do you intend to use a stroller for?
€ Strolling and shopping at Malls?
€ Frequent trips or travelling?
€ Short quick shopping trips or errands?
€ Extended walks or strolls on non-paved terrain or in the countryside?
€ Strolling or jogging on paved paths or sidewalks?
€
Consider what activities you frequently do and factor than in to the choice of your stroller.
2. Do you need more than just one type of stroller?
If you have several types of activities then you might be looking at having to purchase more than one specialized stroller. For example, a light easily maneuverable stroller might be just fine for the mall, but totally unsuitable for a long jog or for use over rough terrain in the countryside.
One lightweight stroller could be ideal for the first six months of the child's life, but totally unsuitable after that and of course if another little one comes along.
3. Consider how often you will use the stroller or strollers.
€ Each day?
€ Several times a week/?
€ Infrequently?
Strollers come in huge variation of quality and durability. If you aim to use the stroller on an infrequent basis then obviously you can compromise a little on durability.
4. Who is going to be operating the stroller?
You should consider who will be the prime user of the stroller. Is it going to be Mum or Dad, or Grandpa or Grandma? Consider the height and strength of the person most likely to be operating the stroller.
It's uncomfortable operating a stroller that too high or too low for you to push comfortably.
5. Are you looking for any special features?
With all the various options out there, you'll have to decide what particular features you need for the activities you do. Such things as different reclining seat options, storage, various canopies, drink holders and rain shields are available.
If the stroller is going to be operated by people of varying heights, then adjustable pushing bars might be high on your list. If you operate in rough terrain being large wheels and all-terrain tires would be important.
6. Have you got ample room in your vehicle for transporting and storing the folder?
Trunk space in your vehicle could be limited, and indeed might be the storage space you have at home. It's really important to make sure that when folded the stroller will easily fit into your vehicle.
7. What number of children do you have and how old are they?
Take time to think about what your future plans for children are. If you do plan on having more children than think how a double stroller might meet your needs. There are strollers on the market which will convert from a single to a double by adding a kit at a later date. That's a really practical solution and helps to spread the cost as well
8. Have you got an existing car seat for your infant?
If you don't already have a car seat you should seriously think about buying a universal car seat carrier which will fit directly into most modern strollers.
9. What's yourBudget?
This is probably the biggest consideration of all and it will dictate what features your stroller will have. The most important thing is to get value for money. There are plenty of resources online about strollers, pricing and features. Look for sales or even consider the secondhand market.
10. Choose your stroller to fit in with your lifestyle.
It's important to choose the stroller which will provide the best functionality for you and your lifestyle. Try to avoid following the fads only to find out that the stroller you pick is not right for you.
