Which Stroller should you buy?
You've probably realized at this point that you will end up needing more than one stroller. Keeping that Umbrella Stroller in the trunk will definitely come in handy for short trips. And for shopping trips to the mall or family outings to the amusement park, you'll want a larger stroller that maneuvers well and offers lots of cargo space for all your stuff.
In general, better strollers will offer lots of bells and whistles, most of which you will instantly appreciate. These can include a lightweight frame, convenient one-touch folding mechanisms, the smooth ride of wide wheels, and even comfortable extra padding that will help baby to rest comfortably. You'll never regret selecting a great stroller (or strollers), so check out all the options that await you.
STROLLER ACCESSORIES
- Travel Bag. Pop the stroller in the bag and bring it with you on your trip. Makes travel a little easier and keeps the stroller clean too.

- Sun Canopy/Sun Shade will protect baby from direct sunlight.
- Head & Neck Support makes baby more comfortable and helps keep their head safely supported.

IMPORTANT SAFETY TIPS
- Always select a stroller that is age appropriate for your child. Since models do vary, be sure to read all manufacturer provided information.
- All newborns to 6 months will need a fully reclining seat. It could be a pram/bassinet or a stroller that reclines all the way back.
- Always ensure your locking mechanisms are properly fixed when you're not moving.
- Double check the stroller is properly opened and wheels are locked before placing baby in their seat.
- Never leave baby unattended in the stroller.
- Buckle up! Always make sure the harness is secured and baby is safely in place before using the stroller.
- Never allow your child to stand up in the stroller.
- Always keep baby's hands and fingers out of the way when folding and unfolding the stroller.
- Always use the provided safety strap/tether when using a jogging stroller.
- Never hang bags or items on the stroller handle bars. They can cause the stroller to become unbalanced and tip over.
