Three-wheeled strollers for newborns

A stroller - this item is often the first in the list of necessary purchases for a newborn. Choose one of the many options on the market is very, very difficult, because you need to take into account so many factors!

In this article we will talk about three-wheeled carriages (transformers, walking sticks, walking - about a variety of types). Consider the types of three-wheeled strollers for children, let's talk about whether a three-wheeled stroller is convenient, and what should first of all pay attention to those who decided to choose a wheelchair on 3 wheels.

The main criteria for choosing any stroller

  1. Age of the baby.
  2. Ways of using (determine what you need: a light summer cane, a multifunctional transformer, a cradle, a cradle, etc.). Season (summer, winter or all-season).
  3. The quality and environmental friendliness of the materials from which it is made.
  4. Reliability of chassis mountings.
  5. The size of the wheels and the height of the stroller (can you easily overcome curbs and other obstacles)
  6. The weight of the stroller (too large and bulky strollers can be difficult to use by residents of high-rise buildings, especially in case of a breakdown of the elevator);
  7. Number of backrest positions
  8. Quality of shock absorbers
  9. Presence of a visor from the sun, protection from bad weather
  10. Ease of cleaning the material of the stroller, ease of care for it
  11. Presence of a basket or a bag for storage
  12. Ability to adjust the height and angle of the handle.

Pros and cons of three-wheelers

Three-wheeled carriages are more maneuverable and many parents consider them more modern and elegant than the classic four-wheeled ones (although this is a matter of taste). At the same time, they are less stable, can not be used on two-lane ramps (unless you lift the front wheel and ride only on the two rear ones), and for the most part do not ride well on the snow. The number of different types of three-wheeled wheelchairs is as great as four-wheeled: walking sticks, transformers, walking, wheelchairs, transport systems. The selection criteria described above are key, and equally suitable for both the summer four-wheel cane and the winter walking tricycle.

For newborns in the first months of life, you must have a hard bottom (back) of the cradle of the stroller, otherwise you risk earning yourself problems in the form of violations of development of the spine of crumbs. Of course, for older children this requirement is irrelevant, but the presence of an orthopedic backrest or lining in a stroller is an absolute plus, especially if the child loves long walks in the stroller or just likes to sit or sleep in it. Note that children of one and a half to two years love to roll their own wheelchair, get off and sit in it. Therefore, the stroller for them should be light and low enough that the kid could climb on it without risk of falling and injuring. By the way, it is on the safety of the stroller should pay special attention. A small fidgeting does not always want to sit flat, often spins and can easily fall out of a stroller, which does not provide a reliable seatbelt system. Be sure to pay close attention to them - the straps should be strong enough, but do not rub or press, otherwise the crumb will vehemently protest against their use.

Independence from reliability, quality, safety and cost of the stroller, never leave the child alone in it.
