A stroller can be a life-saver if your infant falls asleep or gets tired during a walk. But it’s also a good idea to equip your stroller with safety features to prevent accidents. These can include brakes, harnesses, reflectors and more. Another simple but effective way to make a stroller more safe is by adding a baby stroller light. These lights improve visibility, alert drivers and help caregivers keep track of their babies during walks at night or in poor lighting conditions.
A small light on the front of a stroller makes it easier for other pedestrians and drivers to see the stroller, especially in low-light conditions like early morning, evening or cloudy days. This helps reduce the risk of accidents during these times, especially since cars typically travel fast and can miss a pram if it’s not well lit.
Other benefits of stroller lights include the ability to illuminate uneven surfaces, cracks, puddles and other obstacles that could cause a trip or fall for the baby or the person pushing it. This can be helpful in parks, older neighborhoods and other areas where sidewalks may be less smooth than expected.
Some stroller lights are designed to be used on a single wheel or a handlebar while others clip around the frame of a stroller, making them more versatile. Some are also customizable, allowing the user to switch between different modes like flashing or steady.
A company called Strollbright is developing LED strips that attach to a stroller, similar to the lights on bikes. They’re hoping to get crowdfunding support to launch the product later this year. If you’re interested in supporting the campaign, you can donate $25 or more and receive a stroller light when it becomes available.
