A stroller is a child's vehicle that must have a strong and lightweight frame, a spacious seat, so that the child is comfortable. Currently, manufacturers produce a huge number of functional models that can satisfy the needs and desires of parents.
Stroller - "cane"
The lightweight and compact model is perfect for children over one year old. In most versions, the backrest folds out to a reclining state, so that during a walk the baby can sleep in a comfortable position.
A feature of the "walking sticks" are the maneuverable front wheels that easily turn around their axis. If necessary, mobility is limited - in this case, the wheels will go strictly in the forward direction. Strollers of this type are very easy to recognize: they have two separate handles, a folding step and levers under the seat, connected crosswise. After folding, the structure really turns into a "cane".
Advantages:
- light weight and size;
- quick folding;
- low price;
- takes up a minimum of space during transportation.
Controlling the stroller with one hand is quite problematic. When folded, the wheels are located on different sides - you need a cover for transportation. When unfolding the stroller, it is important to monitor the return of the levers strictly to 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" fold, but not as compact as "walking sticks".
To fold, squeeze the levers or side buttons that release the latches on the frame, then "break" the structure in half. After completing the action, all wheels will be on the same side, and the stroller can be transported on public transport. The model will easily fit into the trunk of a car, so there will be no problems when loading into the car.
Advantages:
- reliable construction;
- rigid back that provides support for the child's spine;
- wide seat;
- handle-bracket that allows one-handed operation;
- quick folding and unfolding;
- large hood that protects from the sun, wind and other weather conditions;
- complete set with a removable mattress, foot cover and other useful additions.
Among the shortcomings, one can single out a rather large weight and dimensions, which for some mothers creates difficulties in management. Models do not have the lowest cost - often this is an obstacle to purchase.
