It’s hard to believe I am out of the stroller stage in my parenting journey. I am actually looking to sell our remaining strollers. As I end this chapter in our life I thought it would be fun to do a post about how to choose a baby stroller.
How to Choose a Baby Stroller
1. Determine your budget. Strollers can run anywhere from $10 for an umbrella stroller and upwards of thousands for top of the line strollers.
2. Durability. Durability is pretty important to us because I knew our stroller would have to hold up to numerous children.
3. Safety. Any baby product needs to be safe and free from defects.
4. Features. What features do you want your stroller to have? Cup holders, bottom basket, tall handle if you are taller, snack tray, umbrella for shade, etc.?
5. Function. Do you need a jogging stroller, a double stroller, single or single with a step for another child?
6. Storage. Is it easy to store? Do you need it to fold up easily when you are one handed? Is weight important?
Jané strollers is a new brand to me on the medium to higher end price wise – $250-$790. “The first Jané stroller was born in 1932 in Barcelona, Spain when Manuel Jané Vidal proudly created a stroller for his new born son, Ramon.” They have four different styles: Nanuq, Rider, Trider Extreme and a new PowerTwin Pro coming soon. Safety is an important issue to Jané and their products are created with babies health and safety in mind.

These are some really good tips! I’ll definitely have to share this with my friend, who’s expecting in a few months.
This post can really help a lot of parents out! sometimes it can be a little overwhelming since their are so many types. Great Tips!
Baby strollers have come a long way since we had to buy one 18 years ago. They had just started selling the ones where the infant car seats set inside of them at that time. I though that was the most genius thing every. Now they’re even more decked out!
Great tips. I am a little addicted to strollers. I have had about 8 of them!
I think it’s easier to choose a stroller once you have one. Coming from nothing, it’s hard to know what you need, but now I’d be sure to look for the features most important to me.
These are great tips for first time parents, it was so hard choosing a stroller when my oldest was born.
