Today I’m going to talk about another kind of baby stroller called the “standard stroller”.

As you can tell by the name, this is usually a “standard” stroller. What I mean by this is that it’s heavier than a lightweight stroller, and has more features.

These extra features are usually things like larger seats, bigger wheels and more space to store things in. Sometimes they have added luxuries like music systems, and other things to entertain your child.

These strollers are great for most situations. They are very versatile and suit the needs of most parents. If you like to travel, then a standard stroller will work for you because nearly all standard strollers fold… usually with a useful one-handed mechanism which makes folding a breeze.

Standard strollers, however, tend to take up more space in the trunk of your car… and are much heavier to lift out of your car (compared to a lightweight stroller especially).

They can also be more difficult to manoeuvre in a busy crowded place (like when you’re out shopping) so a standard stroller isn’t necessarily for everyone.

If you need more storage space, and you would like extra features then a standard stroller may be best for you. But if manoeuvring and weight are a bigger concern, you may want to look for a different kind of baby stroller.

Today I’m going to talk about a popular manufacturer of baby strollers, Peg Perego.

Peg Perego make middle range to top of the line baby strollers. The prices range from around $150 to over $300.

One of their popular (and more expensive strollers) is the “Peg Perego P3 Ultimate All-Around Stroller”. This is a single, lightweight stroller. Some of its key features include a 5 point harness (which is becoming the norm these days), a retractable car seat which can also attach on to a Primo Viaggio car seat (although you need to buy one of those separately to do this). But if you do buy one separately, it makes it very easy to move your baby from stroller to car seat.

You get the feeling that the Peg Perego stroller was build for ease of use in mind. For example, the front bumper and child tray are easily removed (and opened) with just a touch of a button. The handles are very comfortable to hold, and easily adjustable. You even get your own cup holder!

Another good feature of the Peg Perego stroller is its looks. I admit this isn’t one of the most important features of a baby stroller, but it does look good. It’s Italian designed, and has an obvious fashion sense to it. You won’t be embarrassed to push this baby stroller around town. And your baby will look very cute in it!

Another popular baby stroller made by Peg Perego is the “Pliko Lite”. This model is around $230, and as you may be able to tell from the name, one of it’s main features is that it’s a lightweight stroller.

This is a much simpler stroller than the “ultimate” one. But this is always the case with a lightweight stroller. But one of the good things about this stroller is that it doesn’t sacrifice key features. For example, it still has a useful canopy, a storage compartment (which is in the canopy), and a cup holder.

This stroller (like all the Peg Perego’s) has sturdy wheels as well, which is great for slightly rougher terrain. Although this isn’t really an off-road stroller.

In the end, the Pliko Lite is a very good lightweight stroller. It has jnust enough features to make it useful, but not so much that it becomes a standard stroller rather than a lightweight stroller.

Anyway, that’s all I’ve got time for today. There’s still a few more Peg Perego strollers worth talking about, so I’ll cover them soon hopefully.

I hope this was useful to you.

Today I’m going to talk about another good brand of baby stroller called Maclaren.

One of the most popular baby strollers made my Maclaren is the Maclaren Volo Stroller. These aren’t too expensive, at around $110 the last time I checked.

The Maclaren Volo’s are lightweight strollers. The chassis, which makes up a large part of the stroller (after all, there isn’t really much to this stroller) weighs only 8.6 lbs. It has the bare basic features of an adjustable 5-point harness (you really need a 5-point harness to make sure your baby is safe, 3 point harnesses are becoming rarer these days).

And like all good lightweight strollers, the Maclaren Volo is easy and quick to fold. You can even carry it on your shoulder, with the strap that’s provided.

This stroller really does fold up quite small, so it’s perfect for throwing into your car trunk (or even the back seat if you don’t have room in your trunk… that’s how small it folds up).

Another popular model of Maclaren stroller is the Maclaren Quest Sport stroller. This stroller is also classed as a lightweight stroller, but it has a few extra features. It also costs a bit more, at $200.

One of its most useful extra features is the leg rest that can give your baby a little boost to keep him or her comfortable due to the extra support.

Something you need to know about this stroller is that its appropriate for babies of 3 months and up to 55lbs.

A nice feature of this stroller is how easy it is to move. It really does perform very well when it comes to manoeuvrability. But I think the wheels could be a little better. But it won’t really be a problem if you stick to sidewalks, although it may have a little trouble with slighter rougher terrain.

The last type of stroller made by Maclaren that I want to talk about today is the Maclaren Techno. This is a little more price at $300. You can also get in “twin stroller” form, for around $60 extra.

This is another lightweight stroller by Maclaren. It weighs only 14.5lbs, but it packs a lot more features than the other two. The first extra feature is the seats ability to recline back pretty much all the way (something like 140 degrees). Which is this useful? Simply because it makes this stroller suitable for newborns as well.

It also has a large mesh undercarriage storage basket which is great for keeping things in. It also has a plastic rain cover, which is useful… and now always found on lightweight strollers.
Okay, that’s about it for the Maclaren baby strollers. I hope you found this useful… and good luck in your hunt for a baby stroller.

Having a lightweight stroller is extremely important, because you are going to need to be able to push and pull the stroller around, and consider how difficult it would be for you to get around tight corners if you did not have a lightweight stroller. Especially if you are a single mom, you are going to want to make sure that you get an extremely convenient and easily maneuverable stroller.

Choosing a Lightweight Stroller

There are definitely a number of options when it comes to strollers that are lightweight, one in particular being the Chicco Caddy Umbrella stroller, which is an incredibly lightweight stroller built with an aluminum frame, which is extremely important because even then it is very lightweight it is also very sturdy so your child’s safety will not be at risk.

As well, it offers a 5-point safety harness system with shoulder pads, an adjustable canopy with zippered storage pockets, a carry bag with a carrying strap for easy mobility, and an easy and convenient compact fold, so if you are by yourself you are still able to quickly and easily fold up the stroller when you need to.

Another great lightweight stroller option is the Britax Esprit, which is an ultra lightweight aluminum framed stroller that features a removable washable seat pad for easy maintenance, a removable adjustable hood and large basket for your and baby’s storage needs, ergonomic foam grips and parent bottle holder, easy adjust 5-point harness and fully adjustable reclining seat, all wheel suspension, and adjustable and padded leg rest so that the child can be as safe and comfortable as possible.

Yet another fantastic and worthwhile stroller option is the Joovy Groove lightweight stroller with swivel wheels, which is one that truly sets the standard for all other strollers like it. It includes all of the fantastic features that you would expect from a high end stroller, and this includes: a lightweight aluminum frame, reclining seat for the child, oversized canopy with an extending sun visor, drink holders and zippered storage space.
When it comes to lightweight strollers, one thing that you definitely have plenty of is choice, and so you want to take your time and browse through the different options so that you can decide on the one that is best for you and your particular and personal needs. Remember that all of the time and effort that you put in beforehand will be more than worth it when you find that perfect stroller.

Today I’m going to talk about the different kinds of baby strollers that are on the market.

The first kind of stroller I’m going to talk about is the “lightweight strollers”. Modern lightweight baby strollers usually weigh under 20 pounds.

They have the same kind of features as the larger stroller, but with the added bonus of being less heavy. Most lightweight strollers still have the basic features like reclining seats, sun shades and baskets for putting things in.

However, sometimes these strollers do not have reclining seats, which means you can’t use them for tiny babies. You need to check before you buy.

These kinds of strollers are perfect for trips outdoors, such as shopping, or a walk in the park. You can also keep them as a spare stroller in the trunk of your car, or any other situation where you think a lightweight baby stroller would come in handy.

Kolcraft is a great option when it comes to double strollers because they make each and every stroller that they manufacture high quality, durable, stylish and affordable. Basically everything that you could possibly be looking for in a double stroller you can find in every one of the options from Kolcraft, and so whether you are expecting twins, already have twins, or just have two younger children that you need to be able to get around, the Kolfcraft double stroller options are the ones for you.

The Kolcraft Contours Options Tandem Stroller

This particular Kolcraft double stroller is one that packs as many wonderful features into one package as possible and busy parents will truly appreciate the smart versatility of this durable and stylish 2-child stroller. It includes a single infant car seat attachment that is able to fit most major car seat brands, and there is even a removable infant head rest that is made out of soft microfleece.

The Kolcraft Turnabout Tandem Double Stroller

The innovative uniflex design of this Kolcraft double stroller becomes a 1-child stroller simply by you removing a seat, and the padded front bars are great for little hands so that they are protected. With rear-stadium style seating, easy trigger levels and free-stand fold, this stroller is definitely convenient, easy to maneuver and comfortable for the child.

The Combi Counterpart Tandem Double Stroller

This Kolcraft double stroller is great if you have one older and one younger child, and it features a front seat that reverses for two-way seating, convenient one-hand fold, two-position front reclining seat which is great for newborns, three-position rear reclining seat which also reclines fully and is great for newborns or older children, and an oversized storage basket where you can store all of your and the children’s items.

This Kolcraft double stroller is one which is incredibly lightweight and easy to get around, and it is compatible with the Combi connection car seat. The front and innovative center swivel wheels make for easy maneuvering, and there is a convenient flat fold option which makes for easy storage and transport.

Kolcraft is definitely – and obviously from this – a company that offers tons of variety and convenience when it comes to strollers, not to mention affordability. So if you are looking for a double or any other type of stroller, you are definitely going to want to check out the previously discussed as well as the other stroller options from Kolcraft.

Another type of stroller that I would like to talk about today is the “jogging stroller”.

This kind of stroller is great for outdoors types. Or you could even use it as a backup to a standard stroller, but many parents are comfortable with using these as everyday strollers as well.

The main features of this kind of stroller are its large and study frame, with strong tires and sleek frames. They often have suspension systems suitable for different kinds of terrain, and sometimes have hand grip brakes.

This kind of stroller is designed for the person who likes to be outdoors, and travel over rougher terrain occasionally. It goes without saying that this kind of baby stroller works fine on any surface.

Something you might need to know about these strollers is that they usually don’t fold as flat as a different type of stroller (like a lightweight or standard). So if you don’t really need an all-terrain stroller, and you’re looking for an “everyday” use kind of stroller, then you may want to look for a different kind. If you travel a lot, you may want to look at a lightweight stroller instead.

If your child is under 6 months, jogging strollers aren’t recommended.
