Fashionable strollers: how to choose a stylish and practical model?
Parents want their child to have all the best and fashionable things. Preparing for motherhood requires feedback, and the purchase of various things is more difficult than it seems. Therefore, when it comes to choosing a stroller, parents try to find not only comfortable and practical, but also beautiful models that will meet all the requirements of the future mother and baby.
Special features
A lot of strollers for children. They differ from each other not only in their coloring and quality of the material, but in their functionality and purpose. When choosing a stroller you need to think about a number of questions:
- what finances you have (perhaps this is the most important part of the question);
- the time of year in which you will use the stroller (for winter, more warmer models are needed, and the bed itself for the child should be more spacious so that the little passenger feels most comfortable in a thick down jumpsuit);
- Be sure to choose the most convenient models, because if the child is uncomfortable, then the purchase was made in vain;
- how far away you live from the city (if you have to travel far, then it is important to think about the nuances of transportation, as there are models that take up a lot of space, even if they are folded);
- how much you want to use the stroller (there are models from 0 to 1 year, and there are also from birth to 3 years);
- where you will drive with your vehicle (not all wheels can withstand additional loads in the form of gravel and off-road);
- If you live in a high-rise building, you must measure the dimensions before buying (it will be very unpleasant if the wheelchair does not fit in the elevator).

Strollers with lush visors - this is the most stylish design option in 2018. And the more magnificent the visor, the better. At the same time, thin metal wheels on wheels will look favorably, and a correctly selected color scheme will only add elegance.
Strollers "Transformers" are slowly fading. In the fashion carriages "3 in 1", which include a cradle, a walking block and a car seat. And the more multifunctional the vehicle, the more valuable it is. All kinds of cradles, which have a built-in system for motion sickness and an additional ventilation system, cause delight not only for moms, but also for babies.

New stylish strollers
The current news of this year is walking models and “3 in 1”, which certainly deserved their popularity not only for their beauty. Manufacturers are developing more and more useful features for kids and more bright designs.
Strollers
In the summer warm season so want to walk through the parks, visit the sun or even go on nature. For this, wheelchair manufacturers provide us with a walking variant.
This season one of the most fashionable strollers was the “Cosatto Sup” walking stroller. Together with accessories and the regulating back this carriage becomes convenient and practical. Dual plastic wheels facilitate the weight of “Cosatto”. This model is made of breathable material and provided in bright colors.
Strollers with large wheels
Large wheel diameter is retro style. Roomy bed and a large visor allow the baby to quietly enjoy a dream. This model came to us from the past, when the strollers just started to gain their popularity. Now this type of vehicle is included in fashion catalogs. But everything is new - long forgotten old. The only negative is that most of the wheels on such models are not rotary, which significantly reduces mobility.
Mima strollers
The Mima brand has appeared recently. The founder of the phone and hairdressing company decided to make life easier for modern mothers. So, in 2009, the world was given the first models of this brand. Over time, these strollers were modernized. They are made of special ecological material Eva. The body of the vehicle is unusual and elegant. Special straps keep safety for the crumbs, and the adjustable position of the handle creates comfort for parents. The main difference of this model is a leather coating.
Adamex strollers
Adamex has become a popular brand. This is due to its simple, beautiful design and practicality. Such models are perfect for any season of the year and for any age. For the most part, the Adamex is a 3-in-1 version of the vehicle. Distinctive features of this model - asymmetric visor and a bed for the baby.
The color range is varied (from the brightest to the calmest colors). Wheels swivel with the possibility of fixation, which at times increases mobility. The package includes: a raincoat, an insect screen, a handbag, a cape on the baby's legs.
When choosing this brand, be sure to check the pens. Some pens of this brand are distinguished by their fragility.
Strollers sports style
Much attention is paid to the choice of sports design, especially when it comes to the boy’s stroller. Three-wheeled types are considered fashionable. They are more maneuverable, they look beautiful and unusual. But at the same time they are less resistant on uneven surfaces.
Electric on baby strollers
Such a new solution as an electric drive has a future, say manufacturers. The electric drive helps the vehicle to move completely without the participation of parents. Such unusual models have already been provided to the consumer, but it is unknown how they are relevant. The price of such upgraded wheelchairs is quite high. But still, despite such an interesting function, the question of the safety of the baby remains. And as you know, the safety of the child - in the first place.
Tips
Although the manufacturers assure us of the high quality of the products, it is still worth checking every detail on our own. So that the stroller will not let you down after several months of operation, pay attention to such factors:
- brakes, as this is the most important thing (broken brakes can cause a lot of problems, and their repair can be expensive compared to the cost of the vehicle itself);
- how the stroller develops (some manufacturers make mistakes during assembly, because of which the stroller may fold even when you did not want it);
- handles that are adjusted depending on how you are comfortable, but sometimes they may turn out to be of poor quality (with frequent adjustments of the position, some handles of fragile materials may break for 2 months, so try to check their precariousness before purchasing)
- cradle, because very often in stores a block with a cradle may lie somewhere in the warehouse, and when you buy, for example, “3 in 1” you will see only a walking block on the design (ask the sellers to show you the cradle to know exactly Do you need it in size);
- luggage compartment, the presence of which will facilitate trips to the store, but this is not a mandatory criterion when choosing (you can choose a removable option).
Thus, sorting through all types, designs and functionality, you can come to a solution. Most importantly, try to check all models before purchase for faults. The main thing is to choose a comfortable and safe model. Design and beauty are also among the components of a good stroller.
It is better to spend a little more time to buy than to doubt your choice.
