Baby strollers were once a sign of influence and prestige. Baby strollers have now evolved into baby travel systems and they have been catapulted into necessary modern conveniences. Baby strollers come in many types and forms, all designed according to the manner in which they will be used. There are several categories into which a baby stroller can be placed, such as single strollers, double strollers, triple strollers, jogging strollers, and baby travel systems. There are baby travel systems available for parents no matter what gender your child is or what kind of lifestyle you lead. You will be able to transport your little one easily from point A to point B using these versatile tools.
Most baby travel systems include a baby stroller, an infant car seat and a car seat base which are all color and fabric coordinated. A common feature of baby travel systems is that the car seat can be used in many ways – either secured in the vehicle using the seatbelt, secured in the vehicle using the car seat base, as a child carrier outside of the vehicle, or locked securely in place in the stroller. When used in this manner, your infant can sleep undisturbed while being moved from the car to the stroller, and you can be on your way with less stress and a well-rested baby.
The most common baby stroller to be packaged in a baby travel system is a standard full sized stroller. This type of stroller has a single seat and may or may not have the ability to adjust the height of its handlebars, a five point harness to keep your little one safely in the seating area, and several areas for storing baby's items such as an under seat basket and parent tray. Most standard baby strollers can weigh approximately 25 pounds but some can weigh as much as 35 to 40 pounds. Many parents can find this size stroller a bit cumbersome and difficult to store.
If you do not want a full sized stroller, there are some travel systems which come with a lightweight stroller in place of the full-sized standard stroller. Lightweight strollers give the convenience of a full-size stroller but weigh in only around 10 to 15 pounds. These lightweight strollers can be folded up easily and can carry a toddler, some even up to 55 pounds, and they have many of the features their full sized counterparts have – under seat baskets, cup holders, snack trays, etc.
Finally, some baby travel systems can have a jogging stroller as part of the package. If you have an active, on the go lifestyle, this type may be the one for you. Jogging strollers tend to handle any terrain but sometimes are a little more difficult to fold and store.
No matter which style stroller you choose to be part of your purchase, it is important to consider how you will use each component of the baby travel system so you ensure that this purchase works for you and your family.
