As drastic as it may sound, it's important that you choose a baby stroller that caters to both you, and (most importantly) to the baby's needs. By not making the proper decision in which stroller you want, you end up paying too much out of pocket for a stroller that doesn't benefit you a whole lot. Moreover, you also end up with a stroller that doesn't benefit your infant child. And so, if you're unsure of how you should choose one, then continue reading down below to get an idea of what factors you should consider when choosing a stroller.
How to Choose a Baby Stroller
Baby strollers are one of the most common and popular items you'll see on a registry. And when you create a registry of your own, you'll most definitely want to add one to it. But in a lot of cases, it's difficult to know which stroller is best. So to help you soon-to-be-parents out there, we've compiled a small list of factors below to keep in mind when deciding on a baby stroller.
Price
If you're about to become a first-time parent, you'll come to a realization that strollers are really expensive. And this can cause a major shock or even dent in the bank when you buy one. But there's no need to worry. There are budget strollers that you can purchase. Some of which are sold here at Rooms For a Prince And Princess, for as little as $500.

While affordability is nice, you don't ever want to pay for a low price baby stroller. Purchasing a low priced item usually indicates that you're providing yourself with a lackluster one. And you don't want to have your child riding in a poorly structure baby stroller. Ensure that the stroller you're purchasing is valuably priced and is of sound structure and durability.
Weight
Most baby strollers weight in at about 10 to over 30 pounds. A light stroller isn't necessarily a bad choice to make when you're out shopping for one. Light strollers are easier to carry and are somewhat more manageable. If you're the type of parent who will take their child out with them as they're shopping or you will be going to any sort of place with a lot of people, then a light stroller is a good option.
But if you're looking for durability and strength, you'll definitely want a heavier one. Heavier baby strollers have stronger wheels are often made for jogging. Whenever you're going out for a run with your child, you'll definitely want a baby stroller of this type. But be wary, these are not the type of strollers you should use when you're out in public with many other people closeby. They're difficult to handle in tight spaces or even when you're on public transport.
Fold
Some strollers are made to allow users to fold in an easy one-handed motion - allowing total collapse. But with others, folding requires that you remove some of the wheels. If you're the type that likes to travel often, you'll find that an easy-fold baby stroller is the right choice for you. Easy fold baby strollers allow the user to collapse them within a matter of seconds and can be stored in the car when you're taking your child on the go.
If, however, you find that you'll be pretty stationery with your child, then a hard-fold baby stroller is the better option for you. You won't need to collapse the baby stroller as often and you'll also find that most hard folds are also very durable, so you won't have to worry about it weakening.
