With the appearance of a child in the family, the question of choosing a stroller arises. Reviews show that most families opt for the Balu stroller, which has several advantages.
Advantages and disadvantages
Chinese-made Balu strollers have been on the domestic market for over 10 years. They have established themselves as a reliable and safe product for children. Most often they are chosen due to the following advantages:
- a wide range - this applies to both models and an extensive color range, all models undergo rigorous examination and certification; the color scheme, like the models, is constantly changing in accordance with fashion trends;
- high-quality material - the fabric surface can be easily removed from dust and dirt, while the color, like the surface, does not change its original appearance; the frame is made of durable and lightweight materials.
- simple and easy operation and stroller folding mechanism;
- colorful and well-made trademark on each model in the form of a Balu bear;
- affordable price.
Of the shortcomings, buyers note that only some models have a mattress for a child, a carrier, a raincoat and a mosquito net. And also some models are equipped with insufficiently strong shock absorption, which negatively affects its operation.
Kinds
Among the variety of strollers, it is customary to distinguish two main types.
Walking
Balu strollers are designed for children from 0 to 3 years old. Such children's carriages are universal for any weather and road. In order to make the unevenness of the road surface less felt, the manufacturer has equipped most models with rather wide wheels - 26 cm in diameter. For some models, wheels with a diameter of 18 cm are provided. They are designed for asphalt or road surface in dry weather.
For greater comfort of the little ones in the stroller, a three-level backrest tilt system has been thought out - from completely horizontal to 90 degrees. The footrests are also adjustable. Child safety is regulated by five-point or three-point belts. A large and deep visor to which you can attach or remove additional sections allows you to protect your baby from strong wind or hot sun.
Also included in the kit for this type of product is a cover for the legs, which is also removable. Most of the walking models are equipped with cross-over handles, which makes it easy to turn the child to face or back to mom. Large baskets allow you to put all the necessary things in the stroller, and for smaller, but more important items, there is one external pocket.
Canes
The cane stroller is a lightweight option that is more suitable for warm weather and asphalt surfaces. As a rule, most models of this company are equipped with four pairs of wheels, the diameter of which does not exceed 17 cm. The main feature of such a carriage is easy and quick folding into a cane, which does not take up much space. That is why such strollers are most often chosen for traveling with children.
For the convenience of the baby, the backrests are adjusted to different positions: in the Balu S-A model there are 5 tilt levels, and in the Balu S-422 model, the backrest position is equal to three.
For the safe stay of the child in the stroller, the manufacturer has provided three-point restraint belts and an adjustable footrest. For sun protection, there is a large canopy with additional sections that can be detached if desired. A spacious basket and an additional pocket for mom are also present in this type of stroller. Retaining bar is available on all models. In some strollers, this crossbar is equipped with a stable place for a bottle or glass of a child.
Selection and care rules
In order for the stroller to serve for a long time, and for the baby to be comfortable in it, it is necessary to carefully choose the choice. In this case, it is important to pay special attention to several points.
- The model should be chosen based on the activity of the mother's life and the number of children. So, for frequent travel, a cane stroller is suitable. If the family has twins, then it is better to opt for a model for two.
- Stroller size. The best option is a child carriage, which can freely enter the elevator and does not take up much space even when folded.
- Wheels. Maneuverability and speed of travel mainly depend on their size. Small wheels are light, but do not handle road obstacles well.
- Shock absorbers and brake. The comfort and safety of the child depends on these two components. It is better to choose shock absorbers with springs, as they have a longer service life. The braking function can be presented in several variations: in the form of a tube, a pedal and a hand brake.
