It is difficult to imagine walking with a newborn baby without a stroller, the choice of which is a responsible task for parents. The stroller should not only be comfortable, comfortable in any weather, but also reliable in terms of safety. Among the strollers are different types:
- a classic baby cradle;
- stroller-transformer ;
- universal stroller;
- three-wheeled stroller.
Each species has its own positive and negative sides, therefore it is rather difficult to form their rating. So, for example, minus wheelchairs for newborn babies is that after a year they are difficult to use because of the lack of sitting, and the three-wheeled stroller is not very stable and it is difficult to use in winter.
Classic baby carriages for newborns
The classic cradle has a high-mounted casing, a cushioning system against sharp jolts of the stroller on a rough road, a hard horizontal bottom, and a wide basket with a hood and high sides for the baby.
Such strollers with a cradle are well suited for newborns and children of the first year of life, but because of the lack of space for the child's sitting, they are difficult to use at a later age.
The baby cradle is light enough, the height of the basket is 50-60 cm above the ground, and the mother does not have to bend heavily when caring for the baby. It is very convenient for children up to six months, until they only learn to sit down on their own. Large inflatable wheels and soft dampers provide good cross-country ability, and therefore baby cradles are better compared to others for walking around uneven terrain, and they allow you to rock your child to sleep anywhere.
In classic strollers, the casing is mounted on a metal frame (made of steel or aluminum), which ensures the design strength. For stability, the wheelchair is equipped with parking brakes, although some models can additionally have hand brakes. The frame of such strollers should be made of shockproof plastic, and the basket itself is made of environmentally friendly, child-safe fabrics, can have a different beautiful coloring.
The hood is attached to the wheelchair without gaps, which protects the child from drafts and rain, and its height is adjusted depending on the weather. In addition, such a stroller can be equipped with a protective apron, a warm envelope for winter or mosquito net for summer. Cradle can also have its own bag in addition to the metal luggage net.
Disadvantages of a classic cradle
- A classic stroller parents recently choose less often because a child who has learned to sit down on his own can not sit comfortably in a basket because of lack of support under the back.
- The basket itself is not removed, and the carriage is uncomfortable to transport and take with you for long trips.
- It is not always placed in an elevator, it is difficult to lower the stairs and
take out of the house without help. - The wheels of such a stroller do not rotate, and its maneuverability is weak, and with a weight of 10-20 kg this creates additional stress for the mother.
- Such a stroller is quite expensive, and parents often prefer non-stroller-cradles for newborns, and other inexpensive models.
Sometimes parents prefer to use such a stroller not only for walking on the street, but also as a crib in the first months of life. Subsequently, they buy other strollers for walking. Although this issue can be solved by purchasing a stroller-transformer or universal stroller that is suitable from birth to 3 years and can perform both the function of the cradle and the stroller .
