Walking strollers are all-season open-body models for babies from about seven months to three years old. Such wheelchairs have high cross-country ability, good controllability and take up little space. The main requirements that parents place on walking models are maneuverability, lightness and compactness.
For children who are accustomed to sleeping during the daytime, it is necessary to be able to lower the back of the seat so that the child takes a lying or reclining position. For such situations, manufacturers offer a wide range of strollers with a large berth.
Advantages and disadvantages
Strollers with a large berth have a number of advantages over their more compact counterparts.
- Such models usually have a sturdy chassis and inflatable wheels with good shock absorption. In terms of comfort, they can quite compete with transformers.
- The presence of a spacious bed creates special comfort for the child. In winter, the baby will fit into a stroller in winter clothes, and in summer the vehicle will be well ventilated and the baby will not be hot.
- These strollers usually include a leg bag and a large hood that covers the sleeping baby. The only drawback is its rather large dimensions, it is difficult to take such a stroller with you on a trip by car or plane.
Buying Tips
It is important to know the following criteria.
- Child safety is one of the key parameters when choosing a stroller with a large berth. There are 2 types of seat belts - five-point and three-point, they allow you to fix the child and not be afraid that he will fall. In general, all types of belts cope with their main function, but usually mothers opt for five-point belts, citing confidence in the reliability of the mechanism.
- Wheels. Walking models can have large or small wheels, there can be 4 or 3. If a stroller is bought for the autumn-winter period, then, of course, it is better to choose a model with large wheels, which would have a high fit. Strollers with small swivel wheels are more suitable for the spring-summer season, as they are more maneuverable and lightweight.
The swivel wheels are easily fixed, but in winter this option will cause a lot of inconvenience due to its poor cross-country ability.
- The presence of a spacious compartment for things under the stroller. This parameter is individual and depends on specific wishes. It is necessary to pay attention to the weight that the compartment can support, as well as its accessibility when the backrest is down.
- Hood. This element is relevant for both summer and winter. A large hood made of waterproof fabric, which completely covers the child, perfectly replaces a raincoat in cloudy weather, and in clear weather will protect the child from the sun.
- Sleeping area. For a comfortable and healthy sleep of the child, it is necessary that the stroller not only have a large berth, but also be equipped with a soft mattress and an orthopedic hard back.
- Many manufacturers offer to additionally purchase individual long blocks for sleeping. Such an extension can be 90-100 cm long.
