5. Do think about flexibility
As you know kids are expensive so make sure that the Stroller you are purchasing gives you the flexibility that you need. Strollers like the Bugaboo are expensive but can give you great flexibility with Basinets and variable angled seats that will suit your child from birth until they don’t need a stroller anymore.

6. Don’t wait till the last moment to buy
Once you have decided the Stroller you want look around on-line for the best deal. Unfortunately some of the cheap on-line retailers don’t always have the best supplies so you may have to wait sometime for delivery. This is worth it if you have plenty of time till you need the Stroller but don’t use if you need it quickly.

7. Do think about Safety
Whatever you do always think about child safety first. Check the stability of the Stroller before buying especially if you are thinking about buying a jogging Stroller or an innovative design. Also have a look at the harness supplied, five points harnesses will provide the right security for your child but three point harness can be ok if you are careful for short trips.

8. Do make sure the Stroller works for you as well as your child
The Stroller will be used by you as much as your child. Make sure the handles are the right height for you, if you don’t then back problems can follow. If you and your better half are very different in height look for a Stroller that has adjustable handles and that they can be adjusted quickly.

9. Do look at the wheels
The wheels are very important think about the conditions you will be using the Stroller in. You will probably be using it in crowded shops so the ease of turning is important. If you are going to be going over rough surfaces think about suspension or pneumatic tires which will give your child comfort.

10. Do ask other parents what they think of their Stroller
The best advice you can get is to ask other parents what they think of their stroller. You will usually get a positive reply but dig deeper. Ask them how the use their stroller and what they don’t like about it to get a true reply.

Good luck buying
