The two most popular double baby stroller models are the side-by-side and tandem types. It shouldn’t be such a difficult decision when you take aboard all the differences. They both have their pros and cons, and you may already be leaning towards one type. This article should reaffirm your preemptive decision. If it changes your mind, then you may need to give it some more thought!

The side-by-side stroller type is much more common, but with the broad range of models available comes a reasonable concern about structure and quality. There are a lot of cheaper double baby strollers out there that you should not give a second look. Many of the more expensive strollers allow you to fit at least one car seat, which will add some portability to the setup.

A tandem double baby stroller sees one child sitting in front of the other. These are usually much narrower.

For the outdoors, you could go either way, but the side-by-side is naturally an outdoor stroller. Both kids have a great view, and usability is not really up to scratch when wheeling indoors. So shopping could become a nightmare! As they are much wider, getting through doors and other tight spaces will prove tough, so if you’re a park-goer, consider a side-by-side with decent shock protection or suspension and somewhat large wheels.

For the indoors, tandem strollers are recommended. They are a lot more narrow than the side-by-side type and maneuverability is much improved also on most models. Sometimes kids will argue about who gets the front seat! In most tandem types, the back seat is designed to fully recline, so this is where baby should go. If you have a toddler, it should always be in the front seat. If you have two babys, get a tandem double baby stroller that has two fully reclining seats.

Also be aware that some children don’t like sitting side by side. Then again, though, tandem strollers may see more kicking of seats! You know your kids well and how they interact, so you’ve got to take this into account.

A lot of things to think about here, so you may be slightly confused. Don’t be! Just go with your instinct and the average rating of reviews that a stroller has received on sites like Amazon. Chances are, if a good proportion of the reviews are positive, you will love it when it arrives at your door!

Baby’s love movement, therefore when it comes to choosing travel systems for babies, it’s important to choose prams and strollers that will ensure baby is comfortable and relaxed while traveling. You can select travel systems for the youngest newborn and infant to the more active toddler. Today’s strollers offer a wide variety of choices and it’s best to carefully decide which system is best for your family’s needs before baby arrives. Travel systems are one of the most important pieces of nursery equipment that you will own, so choose your system carefully.

Travel systems allow caregivers to have plenty of versatility when traveling with their child. Your child can go effortlessly from his or her infant carrier or car seat to the stroller with a simple click of a button, snapping the carrier into place. This provides tremendous benefits to parents and caregivers who have been driving with the baby sleeping comfortably. By using the travel system, you don’t have to worry about waking the baby up and can move the baby to the stroller without disturbing his or her sleep.

There are several features you should look at and take into consideration when choosing travel systems. First, you must ensure that you can easily carry or transport the system. Looking for models that are sturdy and durable yet lightweight will often ensure that you can move the system without much difficulty. It’s also important to make sure that you can easily fold the system and store it in your vehicle.

You might also want to consider selecting a system that will accommodate your child from the infant to toddler years. These systems are practical and provide many benefits as well as being convenient. Looking for systems that have adjustable positions will also ensure that as your child grows, he or she will be comfortable in a variety of seating positions in the system. Travel systems also come equipped with numerous different features, as well as features that you can purchase separately. Check with the manufacturer’s full line of products, as there may be more pieces that you might be interested in as well.

Consider the travel systems that you choose as an investment in your child. Your system can last for many years, bringing your child plenty of enjoyment. However, it is imperative to remember that the first issue of concern is your baby’s safety. You must take the time to check out the travel system and ensure that it is safe. One feature that you should look at is whether or not the system is sturdy enough to remain upright if you place a diaper bag over the handles. The system might have a storage compartment underneath for bags as well. It’s also a good idea to check the height of the stroller’s handles. If the handles are too low the caregiver might find that their back becomes strained while pushing their child. Many travel systems come with adjustable handlebars to ensure that you have the correct height at all times. If you think this will be an issue, then consider choosing a system with adjustable handlebars.

When it comes to the safety of your children there is simply no room for errors. All it takes is one issue for something to go horribly wrong. Car seat safety is absolutely essential for the safety of children as you are traveling by car. Car accidents are a leading cause of death for children. It is up to parents to do all that they can to reduce those numbers. Car seats are often in the news for various reasons. Parents do not need any more to worry about than they already have. Take the initiative with car seat safety in your vehicle. 

There are so many different brands and styles of car seat to choose from that it can be overwhelming when standing in the store looking at them all. Try looking up various brands online in order to learn more about them. Once you become familiar with the names and what some of them are offering, you will be able to analyze them for yourself. It is important to choose your child's car seat based on things like comfort, personal preference and of course, safety. You will also want it to be a good fit for your baby so they are not slumped over or bent in any way. 

Infants must always be placed so that they are rear facing. Usually they should be this way for up to one year. It is much safer for them, especially if there are passenger airbags in the vehicle. Do not place your infant car seat on a seat that has airbags. They can be incredibly dangerous to small children due to the pressure exerted when they deploy. It is essential that you follow the guidelines on your car seat for optimum safety. Neglecting to do so could put your child at risk. 

Read over the instructions that is included with the car seat when you purchase it. It's very important to make note of all cautions and directions. Do not simply try to install the seat yourself without reading instructions first. You can easily make a mistake that you will overlook because you do not know it's a mistake. If you're really not sure about the installation, have a professional help you. Most police stations or health centers will be able to help you with this. 

You may want to do an online search for potential recalls before you make a purchase. Recalls happen quite often for one reason or another. Make sure that a brand or model you are interested in is safe and not under some kind of recall. Consumer review sites can be especially helpful for finding out this type of information. 

Children that are under 12 years of age should always ride in the backseat no matter what. Many parents make the mistake of allowing them in the front seat but that could be deadly if an accident occurred. Child safety is no place to cut corners. Do all you can to make sure your entire family is riding in safe comfort.

Beatrice Stephenson asked:


The bugaboo baby stroller was an unknown brand a few years ago, but is now a quite common site on the streets, a bit eye striking with its peculiar look.

So can it live up to its rumour or is it just another costly status symbol?

Well, the parents using the bugaboo baby stroller swear it’s the best thing since sliced bread, and we have decided to take a look at the frog like stroller.

What can be noticed is that the designers sure are parents themselves, and that they have added features to it that they have missed on a stroller. There are some really smart things that has never been seen on a normal stroller before. The most obvious one is that you can move the seat or carrycot vertically; this means that you can set the seat in table-high position; very good if you are outside and wants to sit down to feed or communicate with your baby. Or your toddler can participate sitting with you at the table in a cafe or restaurant.

It’s also reversible from front to sideways(!) to back, so when the baby gets bigger and want to look at other things than mom and dad you can turn the seat around in one easy grip.

The Bugaboo stroller is said to be easy manoeuvred just about everywhere. So we tried; and yes, since it’s light weight and the swivel like wheel makes it really easy to turn and walk with in an busy environment, it was. We took it on the subway through the city in a horrible rush hour, and later on to the beach. It was peace of cake; especially the beach part impressed, we didn’t struggle hard at all to move it around in the sand.

Here are some other features we liked:

- The Carrycot is approved for use for overnight sleeping, good if you are on a trip.

- The Pushchair seat can be used as a seat on the floor or the ground as well.

- The handle bar is height adjustable.

-The under seat bag is bigger then before; good for shopping or storage.

-When the stroller is folded it takes up minimum space, it fits easily even in the smallest car.

-The seat frame is 2 inches longer so will accommodate a longer baby and taller child.

So was it something we didn’t like? Well, the price (about 900 $) was the bit that took a while to digest, but on the other hand this is really an investment, and you won’t need another stroller for as long as you need one.
