City living has it’s own unique challenges, and this extends to the type of stroller you use. Cities are full of obstacles that may present a challenge for some types of strollers, while others surge ahead with no problems. The key is to find an urban friendly stroller so your next trip to the subway or market is not an exercise in frustration. Urban friendly infant baby strollers should be easy to steer, have ample storage space, are easy to fold and lightweight, and can fit in and around tight spaces. This article will discuss the top city living features to look for when purchasing a stroller for urban dwellers.
Look for a stroller that steers effortlessly and quickly. The best feature to look for is double wheels up front and ideally in the back as well that swivel. These double wheels will help you negotiate tight corners and avoid obstacles with a very small turning radius. Moving through a sidewalk crowd is much easier with this feature. Once you have a stroller with swiveling double wheels you will wonder how you lived without it.
The storage capacity of a stroller becomes important on those trips to the market or museum. Is there enough room to store a couple small shopping bags? How about extra supplies like diapers and food? Make sure the storage area is secure so the contents do not end up spilled on the sidewalk.
For trips in the city you may occasionally need to fold up the stroller to negotiate stairs or get in a cab or bus. Does the stroller fold up quickly into a compact size and is easy to lift? The shape it folds into should ideally be fairly flat for easy storage in trunks or overhead bins.
One feature that should not be overlooked is the dimensions of the stroller. You will need it to fit through doors of restaurants, buses, shops and subway stations. A good rule of thumb is a width of less than 3 feet.
Selecting a stroller with these urban friendly features will make navigating through the city with your precious cargo much easier and faster. A stroller should complement your trip, not detract from it. The top baby strollers should include each of these features.
