Tips Memilih Stroller

Salam,

Entry ini dibuat khas untuk seorang mommy-to-be yang tengah survey stroller yang sesuai untuk little caliph nya (she know who she is)! So, I hope this entry sedikit sebanyak dapat membantu beliau & dapat membantu mommies lain dalam pencarian stroller idaman, insyaAllah!

Well, stroller for me adalah salah satu keperluan parents. Especially, bila nak bawa anak jalan-jalan. Stroller adalah alternatif lain selain baby carrier terutamanya kalau baby kita montel & tak larat nak dukung. Since stroller adalah salah satu keperluan yang paling mahal, so nak kene beli betul-betul.

Dulu masa pregnant A'isyah Hanina, kalau jalan-jalan kat shopping mall sure tgk stroller org lain. Dah start kenal banyak jenis stroller; Peg Prego, Graco, MacLaren, Sweet Cherry, Combi & banyak lagi. Taktau nak pilih jenis yg mcm mana. Tapi, ciri-ciri yang I think perlu ada pada stroller:

• Boleh guna/menampung dari newborn hingga umur 2thn: If you’re looking for a stroller that needs to accommodate a newborn or infant make sure the stroller is designed for one. This means that it needs to recline all the way back so that the baby is in a lying position not an upright seated position. It's quite important that the stroller boleh recline full sampai baring position. While many assumes that full recline is only for newborn, but I can tell you now even when they are 2-3 years old, the full recline is useful for when they want to sleep while you are busy shopping or makan.

"A happy sleeping baby/toddler = Happy parents to shop with peace of mind"

• Not too heavy: Yes its ok if our husbands are around all the time to help us carry the stroller, but in reality of course that is not the case. My maximum limit is 7kgs. Anything heavier that that is a no no!

• Boleh fold mcm umbrella: The folding is very important so you have a lot of boot space in the car.

• Price: Affordable.

So far, those are my tips in buying a stroller. And here are the stroller yang my daughter, A'isyah Hanina pernah guna. Jom kita review one by one. Lets check it out!
