Today, there are many different options and models of strollers for babies. As soon as the child becomes a little older and already sits confidently, then it becomes necessary to buy a stroller that would be ideal for walking. For example, it can be a book stroller.
What it is?
A book stroller is a type of stroller that is compact and practical. Such models are much more mobile and more compact than other transformer strollers, so you can take them with you on a trip. As a rule, such a stroller has a wide and relatively rigid seat on which it is comfortable for a child to sit even in bulky, winter clothes. The back of such models is also rigid, which is convenient for a child's back. The backrest is easily adjustable, allowing your baby to sit upright or half-sitting.
There are separate brands that produce such book-strollers, the back of which is fully lowered, allowing you to put your baby to sleep. Usually, such wheelchairs have a cross-over handle, which is very convenient when walking. If desired, the baby can look at the road, and if the need arises, the handle can be easily thrown over, and the child will sit facing the parent.
In some models, the handle is even height adjustable. Separately, it is worth mentioning that all models from trusted manufacturers are equipped with reliable seat belts, so that the walk will not only be comfortable.
Kinds
The stroller should be comfortable and practical not only for the baby, but also for the parents. Therefore, it is very important to pay attention to its weight and dimensions. For example, the cane stroller, which is so popular with new mothers, is light and compact, but not always stable. For this reason, many modern mothers prefer the "book" option. Such a stroller can easily be taken with you on a trip, it will easily fit in the trunk and will definitely be allowed on the plane with it.
Strollers from different manufacturers do not differ much from each other. For example, the folding mechanism, namely its principle, is the same for everyone, and only its quality and smoothness are different. Otherwise, the models can be very different. For example, in recent years, models with a large hood, and not with a conventional visor, have been increasingly appearing on sale.
Such models with a hood more reliably protect the child from heat, rain, wind and snow. This option is also perfect for winter, as the baby inside his vehicle will be reliably protected from bad weather.
Today there are models with a very large hood, which goes down almost to the bumper. It is important to note that strollers are considered the most convenient option, the hood of which has a large opening radius. This type of hood will reliably cover the baby from rain and prying eyes, and, if necessary, it folds easily and becomes almost invisible.
In addition, there are hoods that are equipped with small windows that can be opened with zippers or Velcro. On high-quality models, the windows are equipped with a mosquito net.
Another fundamental difference between one model and another is the possibility of a different position of the back of the stroller. Models with a horizontal backrest position are less common and cost a little more. But many young parents choose this option, since many children sleep during a walk.
In addition, this option can be chosen for the crumbs who still cannot sit. This is very economical, since you do not have to buy a cradle stroller, and then a walking option. In such a model, the back of which is completely lowered, the baby will feel comfortable at any age.

Tips & Tricks
Choosing the right stroller for your baby is easy if you know all the subtleties and take into account all the nuances. A high-quality stroller should be comfortable not only for walking, but also for transportation. Before buying, you need to check how easy the model is to fold, whether you can do it quickly yourself. First, it is worth checking the stability of the stroller, as this is very important.
It is worth remembering that the less the model weighs, the less stable it is.
Strollers with four wheels are considered more stable models. Pay attention to the models with double wheels, as they are more maneuverable and stable. In addition, a quality model should have shock absorbers that provide a smooth ride. It is recommended to choose such a model, the details of which are made of metal. Plastic parts are less reliable and less durable.
It is important to pay attention to the fabric of a particular model. Quality strollers are made of durable and water-repellent fabric that is easy to clean if dirty and won't leak when it rains. It is worth paying attention to the quality of the seams and the density of the fabric itself. There are models that come with a cover, thanks to which you can always fold the stroller into it so that it does not get dusty or is safe during the move.
Further, it is worth paying attention to the dimensions of the model. It shouldn't be bulky. If the child lives in a house with an elevator, then it is recommended to take into account that the stroller must fit in the elevator. It should be convenient to go to a store or pharmacy with it.
In addition, if necessary, it should easily fit into the trunk of a car. It is also important to pay attention to the availability of various accessories that are usually included in the kit. Many models already have a mosquito net that fits perfectly with the stroller, as well as a rain cover, a cover and a bag for various little things.
Before you buy a stroller, you should definitely study it in detail. It is necessary to try to fold it, unfold it, check the smoothness of the ride, the maneuverability of the wheels, how the seat is lowered and the handle is thrown. Everything should work properly, the mechanism should be easy and understandable.
It is especially important to check the mechanism of the seat itself. If it descends smoothly, then it can be easily lowered even when the baby has fallen asleep while sitting.
