Fresh air is one of the conditions for the correct development and well-being of the baby. That is why the choice of a baby stroller should be approached responsibly. Experts recommend paying attention to strollers with large wheels, which are considered one of the most maneuverable and comfortable for both the child and the mother.
Features and characteristics
The term "stroller" often means a model for babies from 6 months. It is believed that at this age a child can already sit or lie down without harming his health. However, many parents start using strollers from the very first days of a baby's life.
Models with large wheels will be a great buy, they are not only compact, but also easily manageable in any area, be it a street or a store during the holidays.
Varieties of wheels
When choosing a stroller for a baby, you should decide in advance on the type of wheels that will be convenient for you. There are only three types of them - inflatable, plastic and rubber models.
Inflatable
Such wheels are a great option for winter, they are large, well passable in deep snow, smooth and rather soft. Strollers with such wheels are usually tall, and this is another of their advantages. Despite the pros, inflatable wheels can easily be punctured with glass or sharp stones, so make sure you have a patch and a pump to repair. In addition, wheelchairs of this type are often heavy.
Plastic
Plastic wheels are the prerogative of compact strollers and universal strollers. It is almost impossible to see them on heavy bassinets and transformers, since the model cannot support a lot of weight. Strollers with plastic wheels are indispensable for long trips, they fold easily and do not take up much space. However, it is worth remembering that plastic does not tolerate snowy roads and bumps well.
Rubber
Rubberized wheels are the middle between inflatable and plastic models. Among their advantages are light weight, maneuverability and good shock absorption.
It is worth buying a stroller of this kind if you live in a city with smooth asphalt.
Types of strollers by the number of wheels
Today there are several types of strollers with large wheels, and most often the three-wheeled and four-wheeled models are the best options.
Three-wheeled strollers have a chassis with three wheels, the front of which is exactly in the center. These models are great for maneuvering, but on bumpy roads they can even be dangerous for the baby. Once in the hole, the wheel can easily get stuck, and there is a chance that the stroller will tip over. The problem is solved quite easily - replace the front wheel with a double one. In this case, the children's "vehicle" will become stable, but it will be difficult to carry it on rough roads.
Models equipped with a four-wheel chassis will become safer. They are stable and handle problematic roads better. The downsides include heavy handling and heavy weight. Installing a locking mechanism on the front wheels will greatly facilitate cross-country ability on difficult terrain. The blockage can be removed on smooth asphalt.
Variety of models
Today, the baby products industry is moving forward at a tremendous speed. Many brands have already established themselves as proven manufacturers of quality goods. Among them are Chicco, Marco, Inglesina, Bambisol, Tako. At the same time, when buying a stroller with large wheels for your baby, be guided not only by the loud name of the manufacturer, but also by the technical features of the model, the season and personal capabilities.
One of the optimal models for the off-season and winter is the Capella S-901 stroller. Its advantages include a light collection mechanism, a comfortable seat and backrest, a hood, large inflatable wheels, the presence of additional seat belts, and a spacious shopping bag. Among the shortcomings, we can note the large weight of the stroller, the wide back, the absence of an anti-mosquito net.
Capella S-901 is presented in a variety of colors - beige, red, yellow, pink, blue models. The price for such a stroller will start at 13 thousand rubles.
The Bumbleride Indie is another good ride model for the whole year. This is a three-wheeled stroller containing everything you need for a comfortable walk - a raincoat, a sun shade, a hood, and seat belts. The Bumbleride Indie is very compact, lightweight, and fits easily not only into the trunk of a car, but also into an elevator. Among its shortcomings are the inconvenient mechanism for unfolding the backrest, its tilt, and the lack of good insulation. The price for the pleasure will be rather big - from 25,000 rubles.
The model loved and appreciated by many parents is the Baby Care Jogger Cruze. This is a very convenient option with an easy folding and collecting mechanism, a large shopping bag, a great brake and a comfortable table for mom. Disadvantages are the following - thin fabric of the upholstery, not suitable for winter, difficulty in adjusting the height handle. Despite the disadvantages, the model is quickly sold out, since the price for the stroller is very pleasant - from 6800 rubles.
Customer Reviews
There are a lot of reviews on strollers with large wheels on the Internet, and almost every one of them describes the advantages and disadvantages that I had to face in use. Among the advantages, buyers note the ideal maneuverability of wheelchairs, their ability to easily drive not only on flat asphalt, but also on snowdrifts, forest paths, and even on sand. But they also speak positively about inflatable wheels, which, due to their size, make the stroller taller.
Among the negative reviews, the first place is occupied by the mass of strollers. Large wheels often mean more weight, which is not always convenient for fragile mothers. Other reviews refer to frequent wheel breakdowns on bumpy roads, the need to set locks on difficult areas.
