Best strollers: buying guide

The stroller is one of the baby items that parents really can’t do without. Their function is not only that of a mere means of transport, but that of welcoming and transporting the little one in the most comfortable and safest way from one place to another, whether it is a journey or a simple walk.

Given the wide range of strollers that are on the market , choosing one stroller over another is never easy. Precisely for this reason here on Fertile Period we have dealt with strollers for children many times , trying to give mothers the most suitable information.

Stroller buying guide

Before buying a stroller that suits your needs, it is good to know what types of strollers the market offers

Types of strollers

  • standard stroller: light, practical and manageable stroller suitable for slightly older children.
  • three-wheeled stroller : sporty and comfortable stroller, also suitable for variable and uneven terrain.
  • four-wheeled strollers: a classic city car stroller, it is found in many different models, including modular ones, according to various needs.
  • duo stroller : it is a combined system, i.e. made up of a frame on which the carrycot and the egg (car seat) or the egg and the stroller can be mounted.
  • trio stroller : it is a modular system made up of a frame on which the carrycot, the stroller and the baby seat can be mounted.
  • sibling/twin stroller: stroller with two seats, side by side or facing each other, suitable for twins or a couple of children. It is also found in a fixed or modular duo and trio conformation.

To orient yourself in choosing between these types of strollers and buy the one that’s right for you, I suggest you read → How to choose a stroller: tips to avoid making mistakes.
You will find many good suggestions to follow depending on the type of stroller you are interested in.

What to look for in a stroller

Once you’ve figured out the type of stroller you need, here’s what to look for in a stroller:

  • safety : the strollers on the market (at least those of the best-known brands) are tested and certified according to European standards. If in doubt, however, ask for information about it. This is especially true if the stroller also includes an infant carrier or car seat;
  • comfort : a stroller must be extremely comfortable for the child, therefore it is better if the seat is reclining, the mattress soft and breathable, suitable for all seasons;
  • lightness : given that a stroller cannot be driven, pushed or folded by itself, it should be light and easy to handle;
  • practicality: a good stroller must be practical, i.e. easy to close and not too bulky;
  • easy to clean / wash : strollers get very dirty so it is good to find out if the fabric is washable or how to clean it;
  • good value for money.
