Stroller Twins http://strollertwins.com Meeting your stroller needs Mon, 21 Mar 2011 20:21:48 +0000 en hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3 A Funny Stroller Story http://strollertwins.com/funny-stroller-story http://strollertwins.com/funny-stroller-story#comments Mon, 21 Mar 2011 20:21:48 +0000 Lilly http://strollertwins.com/?p=1335 We called it a vacation, but it was more like a fact finding mission.  My wife and her friend, Kelly, were both in the middle stages of their first pregnancy.  Two couples, two pregnancies, and zero clue as to what one is supposed to do with a baby.  So we invited two other couples and their small children to go camping one weekend so we could all learn something about baby-rearing.

What an education it was!  Diaper changing 101 was particularly traumatic for me, but I did like the sessions on setting up the pack-n-play and when to order out to give mom a break.  All in all, it was a fun and informative weekend that served us well through the years.

On the last day of the trip, we rented a boat and took a little cruise up the Withalacoochie River.  Zigging and zagging through the narrower passageways proved especially popular with the guys.  We took turns piloting the boat, each trying to outdo the last in terms of finding the least navigable passages to, well, navigate.

As we headed back to the dock, Tera, mother of little Janie, sat in the front of the boat and began the multi-step process of folding their elaborate stroller.  I don’t know what it was, but something about the whole stroller-folding process entranced everyone on the boat.  Tera diligently pressed tabs, pulled covers, and slid bars on the baby contraption.  All conversation stopped.  We just watched until the sizeable stroller had collapsed down into an umbrella-sized sheath.

Just as the last of the stroller disappeared into its nylon cover, Derek, the other dad-to- be, yelled out (and this is an exact quote) “Yarrabaaaaaaa!”  Our odd stroller-induced reverie broken, we all looked up as the boat careened out of the deep and clear center of the river and into the shallow, reed-filled shoal.  Our current skipper jerked the wheel and cut the throttle, leaving us caught sideways in a murky, overgrown thicket near the shoreline.

It took thirty minutes to push the boat out and clear the seaweed from propeller.  Wet, sunburned, and late, we sheepishly returned the boat to the marina.  Mercifully, the propeller wasn’t bent, so we got out none the worse for our little adventure.  The next week, I bought the biggest and most cumbersome stroller on the market.  There is one button to push and it folds in half.  It weighs a ton and even when folded it takes up the 75% of the trunk, but at least there is no risk of stroller-hypnosis.

Buying the perfect double stroller can be even more of a challenge.

Fortunately, manufacturers have taken great pains to present parents with a wide selection of double strollers. Parents can find everything from traditional walking strollers to double jogging strollers. And they can find them all with just the bare minimum of shopping time.

There are several manufacturers of double strollers who’ve earned top reputations for creating quality products. The InStep double jogging stroller, Graco double stroller and Maclaren double stroller are all considered top-notch products. The Combi double stroller has also received rave reviews from consumer magazines and Web sites.

Choosing the right double stroller for you, though, isn’t an exact science. You’ll first have to ask yourself several key questions: Are you athletic? If so, you might want to purchase a double jogging stroller so you can maintain your exercise routine even after your babies are born. Do you need to log your double stroller up three flights of stairs every time you use it? You might consider purchasing one of the lighter versions on the market.

Do you travel frequently? In that case, you may need to purchase a double stroller that folds down easily for the many car trips you’ll be taking with it. Do you plan on taking long stroller walks? You may need to buy a double stroller that comes with plenty of storage space for snacks, drinks or small toys.

There is no one right double stroller on the market. But there is certainly an ideal double stroller out there for every parent. That’s the good news. Sure, it can be a bit of a struggle to find that perfect double stroller or double jogging stroller. But with just a bit of shopping, and some basic homework, there’s no reason for any parents to settle for a stroller that’s not ideal for them.

After all, there are so many strollers to choose from, everything from baby jogging strollers to cheap baby strollers to heavy-duty high-end models.

What are new parents to do? They can find the right baby stroller by doing some shopping before their new arrival is born. This will give parents the chance to check out the many varieties of both cheap baby strollers and more costly models available to them. Such as the English style baby prams.

Parents can start their shopping by exploring the many manufacturers out there. For instance, Baby Trend Strollers and Graco baby strollers are both considered quality manufacturers. Peg Perego and Maclaren, too, have earned reputations for high-end, safe baby strollers.

Parents should next explore the many stroller varieties available to them. Some prefer traditional walking baby strollers. But many athletic parents, hoping to stay fit even after baby arrives, are going instead with baby jogger strollers. Baby Trend jogger strollers are considered quality products in this style.

Parents might also consider purchasing an umbrella stroller as a backup. Some of the larger strollers on the market are a bit cumbersome to take on long car trips. Umbrella strollers are usually cheap baby strollers, and are easy to squeeze into even a crowded car.

Those parents who prefer virtual shopping to the real thing, will be glad to know that they can find a wide variety of baby strollers online. In fact, parents might be surprised by just how many online retailers are eager to sell them their latest strollers.

Selecting the right baby stroller doesn’t have to be a chore. With just a little advance shopping, and maybe some hunting on the Internet, parents can find the right stroller for their lifestyles long before their new baby arrives.

There’s the crib, baby swing, bassinet, basketfuls of clothing and loads of toys. But one accessory is crucial: the baby stroller.

Unfortunately, choosing the right baby stroller can be a real challenge for new parents. After all, the market is filled with strollers of all sizes, shapes and styles. Many even come with their own stroller accessories. How is a parent to choose?

A great double stroller choice is the Chicco Cortina Together Double Stroller. It can hold two infant car seats at the same time or can have one infant car seat in either the front or the back. You can also decide whether you want to have your older child in the front or back. Although the front can be a good choice for a toddler because you can remove the bumper bar and have two cupholders and a safety harness. This way your toddler can get in and out on their own, unless you fasten the safety harness, after which they are secured in.

Even though this is a tandem stroller the aluminum frame makes it lighter 15% lighter then the other tandem strollers. Adults will also enjoy the maneuverability of the swivel or front locking wheels, and the convenience of the adjustable handle with cup and key-holder. This stroller will fit babies, toddlers, and Moms and Dads too. Another nice thing about this stroller is that it folds and stands upright. It also is easy to use, has a large cargo area, with zipper access in case the rear seat is declined.

The Chicco Cortina Together Double Stroller is a quality product, but even if you purchase the separate infant seats it won’t set you back as much as similar stroller systems. Reviewers have also said it is easy to use and maneuver, plus the kids seem to enjoy it as well. Of course there are always other stroller options so look into other options too. A quality stroller is a considerable investment so take the time to find the best one for your needs.

The easiest way to find the right stroller is to take a look at your own lifestyle. Will you be walking your baby often? You might want to purchase a top-of-the-line stroller. Are you expecting twins? You might think about investing in a twin stroller or a tandem stroller. Are you athletic? A jogging stroller might be in order.

You may even decide to buy two strollers: a heavy-duty one for everyday use and a lighter umbrella stroller that’s more compact and fits easily in your car for vacation time.

Above all else, though, you’ll want to purchase a baby stroller that ranks high in safety tests. Fortunately, there are plenty of manufacturers that are well known for building the safest baby strollers possible.

Any Maclaren stroller, for instance, is usually regarded as particularly safe. New parents can also rest assured with such manufacturers as Graco, Peg Perego and Kolcraft are all well known for manufacturing baby strollers that are not just safe, but are extremely easy to assemble, use and maintain, too.

Parents have a lot to think about when they’re expecting a new baby. Fortunately, buying a new stroller doesn’t have to be a chore. The sheer number of strollers available can be a bit overwhelming. But this wide variety also means that the perfect stroller exists for every parent. The key to finding the right one is for parents to first take a long look at their own lifestyles, and the ways in which they’ll likely use their new stroller.
