Kinds and features of compact strollers
The stroller is a baby vehicle that should have a strong and light frame, a spacious seat so that the child can feel comfortable. Currently, manufacturers produce a huge number of functional models that can meet the needs and desires of parents.
Stroller - "cane"
Lightweight and compact model is perfect for children older than one year. In most variants, the back is decomposed to a reclining state, so that the baby can sleep in a comfortable position while walking.
A special feature of the "reeds" is a maneuverable front wheel, easily turning around its axis. If necessary, mobility is limited - in this case, the wheels will go strictly in the forward direction. Strollers of this type are very simple to learn: they have two separate handles, a folding footboard and levers under the seat, connected crosswise. After the addition, the design really turns into a "cane".
Advantages:
- small weight and size;
- fast folding;
- low price;
- takes up minimal space during transportation.
Managing the stroller with one hand is quite problematic. When folded, the wheels are located on different sides - you need a cover for transportation. When folding the stroller, it is important to monitor the return of the levers strictly in their places.
Stroller— “book”
The model looks more solid than the "cane." Designed for children from 6 months: at this age, babies begin to sit on their own. Strollers— “books” are folded, but not as compact as “canes.”
To fold, press the levers or side buttons, which open the latches on the frame, then “break” the structure in half. After taking action, all-wheel drive will be on the same side, and the stroller can be transported in public transport. The model will easily fit in the trunk of a car, so there will be no problems when loading into the car.
Advantages:
- robust design;
- the rigid back providing support for a backbone of the child;
- wide seat;
- the handle bracket allowing to carry out management by one hand;
- fast folding and unfolding;
- a large hood that protects from the sun, wind and other weather conditions;
- a complete set a removable mattress, a cover for legs and other useful additions.
Among the shortcomings can be identified rather big weight and size, which for some mothers creates difficulties in management. Models do not have the lowest cost - often this is an obstacle to purchase.
