Reader Question: Which is the better type of double stroller?

Hi,

My wife and I are debating between these two double strollers.
One is a side by side stroller, the other, one child would be in front, the other in the back.

Carroll

Answer:

Hi Carroll,

This will all depend on the preference of the parent. Each type of double stroller has its own pros and cons mainly depending on whether depth or width is preferred when pushing. If considering accessibility, many places both indoors and outdoors are not equipped with accommodating to wide-spaced strollers. Most aisles are narrower than they are wide. In this case, a front-to-back double stroller will be found to be most useful and fitting.

Thanks.

Reader Question: When is it okay to take a newborn for a stroller walk?

Hey,

The in-house pediatrician at the hospital said not to take our newborn baby girl into stores for at least a month… But would it be okay to take her for walks in the late afternoon outside by chance?

Karla

Answer:

Hi Karla,
Thanks for your question. Many pediatricians suggest waiting a few weeks to take newborn infants outdoors because this initial time is very important in the development of babies’ immune systems. A quick breath of clean, fresh air outdoors might be okay as long as the baby does not have any pre-existing health issues. However, try not to go for long walks with a newborn just yet as it may become harmful for the baby in many ways, including exposure to heavy dust or even illnesses.

Reader Question: What’s the best stroller? What do you think of prams?

Hi,

I am looking for a stroller that is affordable, under $200, and will last me a long time, one that a toddler can use too. Also, I am in Chicago, so I need something with nice big wheels and shocks. What stroller is best for me?

John.

Answer:

Hi John,

Prams are very comfortable for infants, but they will have to be eventually replaced as the baby gets bigger. If the price is in consideration, a Baby Jogger Travel System will be the best option. It is built for prolonged walking and shock exposure with its bigger wheels. It can also accommodate children from newborn to toddler age. Baby Jogger’s strollers can range anywhere from well below $200 to well beyond it. It is a durable city stroller that will be well-adaptable to Chicago’s streets.

Thanks.

 

Reader Question: At what age we get rid of our child’s stroller

Hi there,

I have 2 years old girl and still take her out with me on a run in a jogging stroller. At what age is it time to get rid of using a stroller?

Thank you,

Laura.

Answer:

Hi laura,

This question truly depends on the parent themselves and the child’s personality. Many children will refuse to sit on strollers for longer periods of time as they get older. But there will be instances when children will get tired of walking or when walking is just not suitable, and a stroller becomes necessary. For this reason, an umbrella stroller might come useful since it is easier to carry and store. Most parents find that baby strollers are no longer appropriate shortly after two years of age.

Thanks

Reader Question: Strollers for the tall

Hi,

Looking for stroller recommendations for a tall, car-less, couple.

– Judy Adams

Answer:

Hi Judy,

Thanks for your question. It is true how the baby stroller market does not easily accommodate taller parents, but there are a few options out there that are great. For a couple that does not own a vehicle, combination strollers or travel systems are no longer necessary. Invest in a stroller that can last the baby from infancy to possibly the toddler age. We recommend the Baby Jogger City Series Classic. It is a jogger stroller that also acts as a regular stroller. It is indoor-friendly, easy to collapse, and highly suitable for parents that are of above-average height. It might be worth the bit of expense if the stroller will be made to last a couple of years.

Thanks.

Reader Question: Which is better on a jogger stroller, front swivel wheel or doesn’t swivel?

Hi, I love your site. I am looking for a jogging stroller. I am confused about swivel and fixed wheel. What is the difference between them and which is safer if I am planning to walk on not perfectly paved roads such as sand, rocks, etc?

Thanks,

Florence

Answer:

Hi Florence,

The front swivel wheel allows a loose control of a stroller, which makes it easier to turn corners. This ensures a seamless jog for both parent and baby. However, if the stroller will be used for more difficult terrain such as sand and rocks, having a non-swiveling stroller might be more useful. These types of strollers are built for more manual control, so the wheels are more inclined to stay on track.

If you’re a jogger, then it will hard to keep control in your jogging with the front swivel wheel. And if you’re going to mostly walk, then the swivel wheel is perfect for you. Because the swivel wheel gives you more ability to navigate through them easily.

Thanks
