Baby Strollers – Have You Overlooked the Most Important Factor?

David Cummings asked:




Unlike the past, today’s parents are fortunate to have a much broader selection of baby strollers available to them. There are multiple styles from which to choose. Strollers are available in a multitude of colors, and with an assortment of features. Whether you have an infant or toddler, one child or several children, there is a stroller made with you in mind. With all of the choices now available, parents shopping for a baby stroller quickly fall into feature comparisons and overlook one, very important factor: their lifestyles.

Today’s active lifestyles and hectic schedules demand more variety than ever before, and stroller manufacturers have answered the call with a plethora of styles. From the styles of the turn of the century to the modern athletic trend, there are many types of baby strollers:

traditional baby prams, similar to the bassinet style baby carriage in which you may have, at one time, felt at home; modern style strollers which can accommodate from infants through toddlers; umbrella and lightweight strollers for convenient trips to the local store; jogging strollers to handle the fast pace of the day’s routine run; and all-terrain strollers for outdoor recreation and strolling across rough terrains.

Along with each of the many baby stroller types comes a broad selection of features. From wheel size to handlebar height there are many standard features to be considered. There are also may optional, and add-on, features that need to be considered, ranging from storage and snack trays to sunroofs.

Selecting the best baby stroller can be a daunting task. Many parents jump right into the task by gathering data for many of the available baby strollers; by looking at the different styles; and by immediately comparing the long list of features. Some parents even make detailed comparison tables to evaluate the plethora of information. It is certainly necessary to perform adequate research to make the best possible purchase decision; however, most parents do not take into account their lifestyle – overlooking the one critical factor which will significantly influence their long-term satisfaction with their baby stroller.

Before you find yourself getting caught up in the details of stroller features, take the time to think about your lifestyle, your activities, your personal style, and how the stroller needs to fit to your daily activities. Be sure to ask yourself questions such as:

Will I be using the stroller for a lot of long trips or mostly local outings about town? What about taking walks around the neighborhood, at the beach, or in the local park? Do I want to continue (or start) physical activities such as running? Will we be participating in outdoor recreation activities? Which vehicles will be used for transporting the baby stroller?

Once you address these questions for yourself, you will be able to focus in on a true apples-to-apples comparison of baby strollers and their features and will be more able to select the best match for your lifestyle and your satisfaction.

How much is a vintage 1970’s Hedstrom baby carriage that converts to a stroller worth?

kevinheatherr asked:


The carriage is blue and white. The carriage part comes out for use as a bassinet, and I was told it was also used as a car seat back then. As the child gets older that part is removed and it converts to a stroller. It also came with mosquito netting. I was wondering how much this would be worth? It is in very good condition, and I have all the original parts. If you can’t tell me about how much it is worth, and might know where I could go to have it appraised, in the Raleigh area of N.C. I would appreciate that as well, Thanks!!

I seen one on Ebay going for $175…just curious if that was about right? It is in very good condition, and I have all the original parts.

Dog Stroller – Carry Your Pet in Style and Comfort

Jerry Parker asked:


Carrying your dog around can be quite a tedious job, no matter if he is a small cute poodle. Taking him on a leash is equally exhausting because he leads and pulls you most of the time and with big dogs it gets to be an effort to make them go in your direction. But today’s dog industry has a solution for all our problems. The invention of a dog stroller is a very handy innovation for dog lovers. There was a time when people would laugh at the idea of carrying their pet dog in a stroller but with time people have understood the value and handiness of a pet stroller. It is no more an item belonging to the luxury section. A stroller can provide comfort to both you and your pet. You can find a dog stroller in any of the pet stores around you or you can just log on to the Internet to find various websites selling strollers of different makes. Online stores have a variety of strollers you can choose from: single strollers, to double occupancy strollers, to foldable strollers.

A dog stroller can be used for many multiple purposes. A dog stroller can act as a handy ambulance and be used to take your dog to the vet incase of an emergency. Incase of a broken limb it is advisable to minimize his movement and put him into a dog stroller and rush him to his vet. In case of a long wait at the hospital you could soothe him by strolling him down the passage. Many a times you are invited to formal gatherings and cannot leave your doggy behind. The best option would be to tow him along in his dog carriage stroller. Keep him busy in his stroller with dog treats and toys and you can be at ease and enjoy your gathering.

While choosing a dog stroller for your dog you need to keep his size in mind. You must check that the baby carriage you have chosen for your pet can carry his weight comfortably. Always remember that your little puppy will soon grow bigger so be practical when you buy his stroller. Another important factor to be kept in mind before putting your dog in his dog stroller is that you must clip off his nails or claws, so that his nails don’t get stuck into the material of the stroller. There are many types of stroller carriages available in the market. Always buy one as per your functional requirement. There are specialized strollers meant for jogging, long distance traveling and some have detachable carriers which can be used as car seats also. Remember you dog will need water and food when he is in the stroller; hence choose a stroller which has trays or baskets to store his treats, toys, clothes. Taking your dog for a stroll can help you create a magical bond between the two of you!
