What Are the Different Types of Baby Strollers on the Market?

Stroller is the baby's favourite walking vehicle, and it's also a must-have item when the mother takes her baby to the streets, parks, supermarkets and etc. However, moms and dads may find it very difficult to choose a stroller as there are various different types of baby strollers on the market. In this article, we will introduce the different types of strollers one by one so as to help you choosing the right stroller.

1. Single Stroller & Double Stroller

It's always easy to make a decision between a single stroller and double stroller for parents as we know that double stroller enables us to manage two kids together by one person. For moms who are pregnant with twins or who have two toddles with little age difference, a double stroller is a must-have. Usually, there are two types of double strollers: tandem type and side-by-side type.

Tandem stroller usually can be fold up, so it's space-saving when you want to place it into the car or place it into a small room. The width of tandem stroller is smaller than side-by-side stroller, so it's easier to manipulate it when passing through doorways or some other crowded places. For tandem stroller, we have to put the heavier baby in the back seat, or it would be very difficult to control the stroller. The side-by-side stroller has the advantage when comparing with tandem stroller, the babies can communicate with each other conveniently.

2. Umbrella Stroller

Umbrella stroller is popular among different types of baby strollers as more and more parents prefer to travel or go out with less luggage. It is lightweight and foldable with compact design that can be easily placed into the car trunk or airplane. The modern umbrella strollers are designed with solid steel frame, multi-point reclining seat back (available for sit and lie on), retractable canopy, storage basket, 5-point harness, shock-absorbent wheels, reversible handles, which makes the umbrella stroller available for both the newborns and toddles.

3. Jogging Strollers

Jogging stroller is also called as running stroller, suitable for parents who love sports. They are usually designed with 3 big wheels (1 swivel front wheel and 2 fixed rear wheels) and a car seat, which ensures a comfortable sitting experience when parents are running too fast or going quickly on bumpy road. Additionally, a jogging stroller features fully-reclining seat and 5-point harness. If a jogging stroller is designed without those essential safety features, please do not running in case any danger.

4. Travel Systems

This type of baby stroller is a combination of car seat and a stroller, which is available for the newborns and toddles. Travel system allows fully reclining, especially safe for baby under 6 months who can only lie down in the seat. The advantage is that the seat can also be used in the car, and parents can effortlessly move baby who are in deep sleeping from the travel system to the car without waking the baby up from sweet dreams.

As there are different types of baby strollers, do you know how to select a suitable stroller for your beloved baby? If you are still sticking around this question, please take the baby age, travel demand, stroller functions, baby needs and etc. into consideration.
