Strollers are expensive, which can make them a tough choice for new parents. But, if you’re lucky enough to have family and friends who are willing to chip in, they can be a great investment that allows you to explore the city, park, or beach with your baby without breaking the bank.
While most strollers are easy to maneuver, some stand out from the crowd based on design, ease of use, and value. For example, the Chicco Echo is easy to steer, folds and unfolds with one hand (and can be carried up stairs), and looks sleek enough that it won’t be an eyesore in your vacation photos. This stroller also has a reversible seat, so you can have your baby face you or out into the world, which is great for social interaction and sleep training.
Other features to consider when comparing strollers are whether they’re compatible with your car seat or have a bassinet attachment. Keep in mind that babies should not sit up in a stroller until they have stable head control, which typically happens around 6 months old, per pediatricians. Some brands have age guidance reflected in their products, and you’ll want to follow those guidelines. Other things to look for in a stroller include a cupholder, snack tray, and reversible seat. And, it’s worth it to check out a stroller’s brakes and handlebars, which should be smooth and simple to operate.
