Strollers for winter: an overview of the most popular models

When a baby is expected to be born in a family, the preparation goes very carefully and reverently. It is necessary to take care of everything that a new member of the society will need, in the first place - it is a cot and a stroller. Manufacturers offer a huge choice of transport for kids, and you should know what criteria are important when choosing a model for walks in the winter.

Today in the market or in children's stores you can find a large selection of strollers. Many parents are looking for models that could be used at any time of the year. If the child was born in winter, then it is important to find the option that would be best for this season. Strollers can be divided into several types according to their features:

• season of use;
• mounting features of the wheels and their structure;
• options for folding mechanism design.

A stroller for winter must have:

• warm cover for a child;
• a peak with the maximum possibility of omission that the strong and cold wind did not reach the newborn.

Large and massive wheels are installed on these models, which allows you to walk with a sidecar along a snowy road without difficulty. Models for winter can be heavy, but modern vehicles for children are produced in a lightweight version, which considerably simplifies their maneuverability. Strollers for babies can be of different types, these are models:

• 2 in 1. This combination allows you to use it as a conventional classic stroller and a walking block. Such models are convenient because parents do not need to purchase two transport options; you can use one product from birth until the child is four years old.

• 3 in 1. In this model, three options are combined at once, for walking, a pushchair and a car seat for moving in a car. Model 3 in 1 is suitable even for newborns, it can be used for walking with the smallest until they reach 4 years.

• Transformer. This model combines the cradle and seat. Can be used both for newborns and for older children.

• Cradle. This model is purchased for newborns, the child can stay in it until it begins to sit. The cradle is designed for ages from 0 to 6 months.

• Walking options. The model is suitable for babies who can already sit on their own, that is, from 6 months and older.

Choosing a model, it is important not to make a mistake, because the wheelchair should be comfortable, practical and functional. At the same time, I want to choose an interesting or original vehicle. Some parents prefer the classic options, while others look more sophisticated models. In addition, the stroller should look beautiful, it will be nice to be in the baby, and parents will be happy to travel with it through the streets.

It is necessary to give preference to models:

• with a light and strong mechanical frame. The best choice would be a product with a folding frame;
• with the presence of three, four and even six wheels, in cases with twins or little ones, you can even find eight wheels on a wheelchair;
• with a landing place for a child, which has a pleasant soft upholstery and is made in accordance with the standards provided by experts in this field;
• with seat belts;
• with a hood that protects against adverse external factors, in the form of rain, snow, and wind;
• with crossbar-limiter for fixing the child;
• with brakes that may have different locations and vehicle locking systems.

It is good if the manufacturers have provided for the presence of a special basket or bag for storing children's things and purchases that the young mother makes while on a walk.

When choosing a stroller, you should pay attention to the folding mechanism. Many prefer models that have the name "book", but most of the parents choose the strollers-canes. When folded stroller books, the product folds in half, It does not have any significant pressure or impact on the body, which prolongs its service life.

The cane is folded along the axis, which also has its advantages. Such models are comfortable, practical and light, it makes them so popular.

Carriages-canes are more suitable for walking with children who are already well and steadily able to sit, that is, at the age of one year and older. Due to the fact that the backrest and seat can be expanded, the baby can sleep if he is tired during the walk.

This model has increased maneuverability, thanks to the front wheels, which can easily rotate around its axis. If there is a desire, you can install them only for the movement in a direct course, limiting their mobility.

The advantages of this model:

• have a small weight and size;
• can be easily and quickly folded;
• has comfortable maneuverable wheels;
• when carrying it will take up little space;
• has a low cost.

Now we’ll focus on the drawbacks that cane models have:

• the cane is uncomfortable to carry with only one hand;
• laying out the model, you need to check whether all the thrusts and levers have become in the right places;
• because of the small wheels will not be provided with good throughput;
• when folded, the model wheels may smear the car during transport, so you should purchase a protective case.

These models look more solid than the previous version. Use strollers, books for walking with children from 6 months. The weight of this design and its dimensions will exceed the previous version.

To fold such a stroller, you must click on the special buttons, levers and bend it in half. After bending, the wheels will be only on one side, which will allow transporting it even without using a boot. When folded, this model is not very large in size and fits easily in the trunk of a car.

The advantages of this design include:

• there is a lot of space inside the stroller, which allows it to be used for walking even with very large children;
• the model has a hard back and seat, thanks to which the back of the baby will be reliably protected;
• has stronger and reliable design;
• models have a solid handle that allows you to carry the stroller, even with one hand;
• it can be quickly and easily folded and unfolded;
• the presence of a protective hood;
• Included can be removable mattresses, leg covers and stuff.

The disadvantages of this design include:

• greater weight of the model, in contrast to the previous version;
• its dimensions are larger than that of a cane;
• the cost of products is higher.

Now consider the universal option, the use of which allows you to walk with children from birth to 2-3 years.

This model consists of a walking version and a cradle for newborns. This configuration allows you to use the transport from the very birth, using a cradle for walks, in which the baby feels very comfortable. For older children who are already sitting and actively learning about the world around them, a walking block is installed.

The advantages of this model include:

• structural strength;
• maximum functionality;
• excellent cross-country ability even in places with a bad road;
• the ability to purchase one stroller instead of two;
• easy to operate with one hand;
• thanks to the fully folding back, the child will sleep comfortably while walking.

Such models deserve attention, but they also have certain disadvantages:

• during storage, they take up a lot of space;
• may be bulky and heavy;
• There is not always a folding design option.

The winter stroller should be light and comfortable, especially for models for newborns. Many parents prefer a product with a reversible block or reversible handle. Such options are very convenient for both parents and kids. While walking, a small child in complete safety may be facing his mother, or he can satisfy his curiosity, considering what is happening around, and being face in the direction of travel. Mom at this time, can control the actions of the child through a special mesh, which is provided on the hood of the stroller.

The model should be compact so that parents can quickly fold it and move it to the right place.

Models for walking can be three or four-wheeled. The second option is considered more familiar, but in some cases products on three wheels can help a lot, for example, if you need to drive to a narrow place or actively maneuver in a crowd or a shop.

Prams can have different colors. Many parents prefer neutral colors that can be suitable for both boys and girls. After all, often these products are given or bought when the sex of the child is still unknown or if the plans include the birth of several children. Therefore, the choice of neutral color would be the most appropriate option.

Being engaged in the selection of a stroller for the cold season, it is important to understand that you will have to walk during a period when there may be a large amount of snow, ice, and snow drifts on the road. When choosing a vehicle for traveling along a difficult road, attention should be paid to many parameters.

• Choosing a cradle for the baby, you should give preference to the warmed version. This takes into account that during walks the child will be dressed in overalls and covered with a blanket.
• Having powerful and big wheels is importantAfter all, walks can be not only on smooth asphalt, but also along snow-covered streets. If there are small wheels in the product, the axis of which will be located close to the ground, they will slip and become bogged down in the snow. For winter walks more suitable wheels made of rubber or polyurethane.

• Brake. For winter transport, a good brake should be required. When rolling down the hill, leaving the store, when going down to the underpass, using the handbrake, you can save the child from possible danger. The foot brake is more often used for fixing the stroller in place.
• Protection of the product from adverse weather conditions. The child should be in the fresh air a lot of time. In the winter season, the weather may not always be good, so the main advantage of the product must be its protection from wind, rain or snow, which helps with transport with a hood. In a carriage special awnings should be provided, thanks to which it will remain warm and not blown.

• Design. To him, many parents make great demands and try to find a suitable model. Now, many manufacturers produce bright strollers, but with the final choice, it is worth looking not only at the beauty of the product, but also at other parameters.
• Weight. Even if the house has an elevator, the wheelchair still needs to be brought in and carried out of the apartment, so its weight is very important. If we take into account that there is a small child in one hand, dressed in warm, winter clothes and a blanket or a blanket, and a stroller in the other hand, then a lot depends on the weight of the product. When choosing a stroller in a house without an elevator, it is worthwhile to give preference to products with lower weight, which simply fold and take up little space when folded.

• Patency. If the vehicle has big wheels, then walking along the snow-covered streets will not be a hassle.
• Convenience. In the cold season, the child is dressed warmly and is wrapped in a blanket, blanket or overalls, so the stroller must be wide enough so that the dressed baby can be comfortably in it. If there is an elevator in the house, it is necessary that the width of the carriage matches its doorway.

• A pen. This part of the stroller is a very important part of the whole structure. Given that the walk is held in winter, many models have special warm mittens or a sleeve for warming hands. A handle is very convenient, which can be adjusted to the growth of parents and where it is possible to toss it on the other side.

• Basket, which is under the stroller. It is very convenient if the model for a stroller in the winter, there will be a large basket. This will eliminate the need to carry a bag with groceries and push, while the carriage on the snow. You should choose a model where, even in the supine position, the bag will fit comfortably.
• Cost An important criterion when choosing a product is the price. The cost of wheelchairs for a winter walk can be different, it is important to find the optimal price-quality ratio and opt for this model.

To ensure a smooth product, manufacturers use different types of materials for wheels. From what they are made, depends on the stroller, its maneuverability and controllability.

Wheels for a winter stroller can be:

• Rubber. Thanks to the rubber wheels, the product will go on the ground very gently and no bumps and hollows will not be able to wake the baby. Inflatable rubber products can provide good cushioning on problem areas of the road and make the wheelchair travel smooth. For such wheels, models with a foot and hand brake are better suited.

• Plastic. The advantage of this material is that they are not pierced, which can happen with wheels made from other materials. Such products are among the cheapest, they are very tough, have low depreciation.Their service life is small, most often it is one or two seasons.
• Made of foam rubber. These wheels combine the best qualities of rubber and plastic products, and they can also be used for walks in the winter. They are a little tougher than the previous version, but on smooth sections of the road they go gently, besides, they can be considered more durable.

Four-wheel models can be:

• With swivel wheels (front and rear). They are characterized by good stability and maneuverability.

• Without swivel wheels that are highly resistant.

• Dual - have six or eight wheels. Such models are more stable, but their weight will be much greater.

The roads are rarely of impeccable quality, especially in winter, so you should choose a wheelchair with swiveling front wheels. This will allow the most maneuverable to bypass pits and potholes. When choosing a stroller, you should consider the type and diameter of the wheels:

• Wheels are small (with a diameter of 8 to 15 cm) have a small cross, they are only suitable for walking on a flat road.
• Wheels are medium in size (with a diameter of 15–25 cm) usually made of rubber or polyurethane foam. Although they are heavy, their permeability is much greater. Most often they are installed on the rear axle.
• Large wheels (25–40 cm in diameter) Do not use for strollers. This is usually inflatable products and put them on heavier models, such as transformers. They have excellent permeability and cushioning, the stroller with large wheels allows it to be used even on very bad sections of the road.

But whatever the wheels of the stroller, it is very difficult to walk with the child in the winter and not get stuck constantly in the snowdrifts. Therefore, to protect the nerves of their parents and give the child a rest and relax comfortably, the manufacturers invented a pushchair-sledge. This all-terrain vehicle will allow to overcome any obstacles. This passable model will make the walk with the baby comfortable, regardless of weather factors.

The difference from the usual models is that skids are installed instead of the chassis. There are small wheels in a large number of models at the end of the runners, allowing you to safely move on cleared asphalt road sections. To choose a sledge-carriage, you should pay attention to such qualities:

• The size. When choosing a model, you should not look at bulky models, because the large parameters of the design will make it less maneuverable, especially when cornering. Do not forget that their size should correspond to the size of the doorway in the apartment and the elevator. It should be such that the sledge-wheelchair fit in the elevator with you.
• Security. Everyone understands that the safety of the child should be above all, so you need to make sure that there are fixing belts so that the child does not fall into the snow. Seat belts can be simple single, but you should give preference to five-point constructions that securely fix the baby.

• Easy chair When choosing, it is necessary to give preference to models with a soft and comfortable seat. To slide the sleigh passed without effort, choose a model with long runners.
• Selection of runners. Choosing wide flat runners, you can easily ride in a wheelchair on loose snow. Tubular runners are more suitable for driving on icy or slightly snow-covered surfaces.

• Handle selection. Walking with the child takes enough time, and so that the hands do not get tired, it is necessary to choose the right handle.First of all, you should pay attention to the material from which it is made, it should not pass moisture. Often, manufacturers make pens of a special soft-touch material that is easy to clean.
• Running board Choosing a model, it is worth seeing how the step is regulated. It should be easy to put on any height and in the right position, in accordance with the growth of the child, and the baby’s legs should not hang down, otherwise they will quickly get tired.

Strollers are one of the most popular types of children's vehicles, as they have the convenience and practicality. In addition, you can find a suitable model for color, design, configuration. The price of the product also plays a decisive role.

Given that both a newborn child and an older child can be in the stroller, it is necessary to study the features of the models for each age. If the birth of a baby had to be during the cold season, then the choice of a product for walking should be the most balanced.

Stroller for a newborn baby should be:

• warm and comfortable;
• with a high location of the bottom of the ground;
• with the presence of a wide berth;
• with the cradle closed and the lack of cracks in the attachment point;
• with the presence of a raincoat or umbrella for moms that are attached to the handle;
• with good shock absorption, for example, with a chassis similar to X.

For the one-year-old child, the cradle is no longer needed, the baby will have enough walking block. When choosing a baby carriage, the season is taken into account: a cane with a mosquito net is more suitable for summer, a stroller with a rain cover for autumn and spring, and a model with insulation for a winter.

Choosing options with a flip handle or with a special module, you can deploy the child facing the mother, and in the other direction. When choosing a pen, you should pay attention to the handbrake, which is placed on the handle to ensure the safety of the child.

Now a lot of domestic and foreign companies are engaged in the production of goods for children. When choosing a stroller for the winter should be given preference to manufacturers who have proven themselves from the most favorable side. Let us dwell on the most interesting models.

If we talk about the wheelchair-sled, I would like to mention a model for walking with children from 1 to 3 years old "Slides mosaic" of Russian production. Employees of the brand created a model that was specially prepared for the snowy winters. They tried to take into account the peculiarities of weather conditions and equipped the model with 4 small and 4 large wheels. On sled wheels are made of polypropylene. Just one touch of the foot, and the sled can quickly turn into a stroller. The advantages include:

3. use of reflective material;
4. large hood, protecting from the wind;
5. removable fleece mattress;
6. convenient pocket for any small things.

Which model to give preference, you can find out on the basis of the following considerations:

• If the family lives in a private house, purchasing a transformer stroller can be a good choice. This type of children's transport has large dimensions, but, in this case, it does not play a significant role. In addition, later do not have to buy a second stroller.
• Young mummies, who keep up with fashion, should take a closer look at the three-wheeled models with rubber wheels. Such options are highly maneuverable. The main advantage can be called weight, they can be easily transferred when folded.
• For residents of multi-storey buildings with elevators, wheelchairs-books with a diameter of 15–20 cm are more suitable.
• If parents often have to travel with a child on public transport, you should choose a light and comfortable cane model, which is equipped with small wheels.

Choosing a stroller, you should immediately decide which model you need. Do not buy a product that liked only the colors or design. It is important that the selected model meets all requirements:

• The main criterion can be considered the safety of the child, so you need to immediately see whether there are seat belts and other restrictive elements. This is especially important if the child is active so that during the walk he cannot fall out of the stroller.
• It is necessary to check how the stroller folds, how fast and conveniently it can be folded, the final choice will depend.

• To walk on a winter day was pleasant and comfortable, you need to make sure that the baby is well dressed and covered with a special warm blanket. To warm the child, it can be put in a bag made of sheepskin. If the choice fell on a model where there are removable covers, check how easily they are removed and put on, because you will often have to wash the cover.
• When choosing a product, it is worth considering an option with a solid handle, this will allow the wheelchair to be rolled even with one hand, while with the other you can talk on the phone or take any important action.If the parents have different height, it is worth seeing the option, with an adjustable handle. Many parents prefer products where the handle is thrown on the other side, thanks to this, you can change the child's position in relation to the one who carries him.

• Special attention should be paid to the braking system and stoppers. In winter, there is often a strong wind, so the mother should be sure that the stroller with the child will not start when there is a strong gust.
• Equally important is the presence in the model of the luggage compartment, where you can put children's things or products. Many manufacturers make only a small pocket for the most necessary, and this is not very convenient, since during a walk you can go to the store for shopping.

• A hood is necessary for protection against cold wind. It must be adjusted in several levels to protect the child from wind gusts. Of course, when choosing a stroller for the winter, you need to choose a model with a warm cover for the legs.
• For a cold season, a stroller with large wheels is necessary, since on small wheels it will be difficult to roll along a snowy road. You need to check the shock absorbers, because they are responsible for a smooth ride and comfort during movement. Plastic hinges and springs are considered more durable than belt products.

• Parents should make sure that the step is adjusted in the walking unit in order to set it in the most comfortable position for the baby.
• In the cold season it is worth choosing a model with a clutch. This and other additional accessories, such as a grocery bag, an umbrella, bottle holders, a game panel, can be purchased separately.
