]]> A tandem stroller allows the children to sit one behind the other, and can be beneficial for parents of twins, or parents of two small children. Tandem strollers allow versatility for the parent, interaction for the children and many other benefits.

One feature that is prominent in many tandem strollers include the reversibility of the handle bar to be switched from one side to another. This allows the mother to have access to both storage, or easily change the direction of the stroller. As well, the seats within the stroller can be adjusted to face each other, or away from each in most strollers, or both facing the same direction.

There are many benefits of using a tandem stroller, including:

  • The ability to maneuver through crowds, narrow doorways and aisles in the supermarket and your favorite department stores
  • The added storage under both of the seats which can store diaper bags, purses, shopping bags and all other amentias that the infants and toddlers require
  • Two children in one stroller give versatility that no other stroller can. Rather than having both parents push a stroller, one parent can rest while the other pushes, or if there is just one parent than it makes life easier.

Tandem strollers can range in price but are often more costly than traditional single strollers. Most often, the seats are fully reclining so the infant is able to be strapped while sleeping, and the stroller can transition into the toddler years.

What kind of handle bars should you use for your tandem stroller? Traditional tandem strollers have curved handle bars which can be difficult to hold on to while maneuvering the stroller, as well, there are three – one on each side and one in the middle of the tandem. Now, strollers have gotten easier to use, and many use a bar across the top of the stroller, so the parent can choose how they would like to grip and push the stroller.

Tandem strollers are available from leading brands at retail stores. Colors, patterns and many other choices are available to customize the buggy. Fabric choices are often child-proof and can be thrown into the washer in case of a spill. Most often, the fabric on a tandem stroller is buttoned to the stroller and can be removed easily, and secured back to the stroller.

]]> Running with a jogging stroller may seem like a no-brainer, but there is more to running with the stroller than meets the eye. After all, running downhill is going to be different than running up hill and running over rough terrain is going got be different that running on a path that has been covered with cement. Use these tips and tricks to learn how to run effectively with your jogging stroller – get in shape while keeping your kids safe.

First, when running downhill, it is essential that new parents and seasoned runners use the runaway strap. This strap allows the parent to keep hold of the stroller in case their hands slip from the handle bars or grips from the stroller. Although sometimes, the strap may seem to cause sweaty arms more than anything – it is crucial! If the stroller were to get out of your reach, especially while running downhill, it would put the children in grave danger.

While running downhill, it is a great chance to increase your turnover time, meaning how quickly you put one front in front of the other. Keep your hands on the stroller at all times, and use the hand brake when slowing down. It is crucial to lean into the brake when attempting to slow the stroller down. When using one hand on the brake, the other hand should still be pushing the stroller, as to not jolt the children or infants within the stroller. In order to successfully use the brake, the front wheel of the jogging stroller must be on the ground.

The brakes should be applied when stopping, and not all the way down the hill. This only causes wear and tear on the brakes, requiring frequent replacements.

Keep good form when running, maintain high posture and do not lose control of the stroller. Keeping pace will ensure that you are not pulling the stroller back towards you or trying to keep up with the stroller, which are both in bad running form and can lead to injuries of the runner. Not a good idea when taking care of children and running with a jogging stroller.

Choose a jogging stroller that you are able to handle with your weight. It is crucial that the stroller be light enough for the parent to handle.

Lastly, ensure that all children are strapped into the stroller using the five point harness systems provided. Periodically stop and ensure that all children are strapped in.

]]> One way or another, everyone gains a little bit of pregnancy weight that they would like to get rid of after the baby is born. With the purchase of a jogging stroller, new moms have the ability to exercise while spending time with the little one, stimulating them with senses that they can find outdoors. Did you know that one of the chief benefits to investing in a jogging stroller is that it can be less expensive than a costly gym membership and be used all year round? When shopping for a jogging stroller there are literally hundreds of options, brands and features. How do you know which one is right for your needs? Use these tips to find the perfect jogging stroller for you.

One of the important features of a jogging stroller is the one-front wheel for versatility and agility in movement. This will be accompanied with two back wheels to provide support to the stroller. When choosing a jogging stroller, there are various types of wheels available from traditional bike wheels, various treads and wheels suitable for various terrains, where will you be using the jogging stroller most? In what situations will you require the jogging stroller to be versatile?

When using the stroller for jogging, it can be beneficial to choose a wheel that is fixed. Although swivel front wheels will provide versatility, a fixed wheel will ensure that you are kept on track while jogging. This is also an important safety feature, we don’t want mom running off the path with a swivel wheel that has gone astray. Many young parents are unaware of the dangers that can come with a swivel wheel, especially if the stroller hits a bump – the stroller can be led astray rather quickly.

When choosing a jogging stroller it is important to determine the proper height, the height that will be comfortable for the new mom or dad while jogging and pushing the stroller at the same time.

Durability is essential in every stroller. Choosing wheels made with alloy, rather than steel will ensure the stroller does not rust, regardless of the weather conditions in which it is used. If you are using the stroller to run through spring weather, and wish to use it for the birth of more than one child – than alloy wheels should be a choice not made lightly.

Next, how long will you be using the jogging stroller? It is crucial that the stroller be adaptable from infant to toddlers, as this not only saves parents money, but provides a range in seating options from straight to a reclined seat. When shopping for a jogging stroller, determine what age groups the stroller is suitable for.

Next, five point safety systems are often present in jogging strollers. This means, the child is strapped in from five different points. This is essential in a stroller that is going to be used in vigorous movement such as jogging.

Using these tips, shopping for a jogging stroller should be simple! Remember these five key points when shopping at the store, or on the internet for a jogging stroller of your very own.

]]> Many parents prefer this combination of stroller and car seat as they can remove the child from the stroller, into the car seat and than into the home without disturbing the sleeping baby.

There are many benefits to buying a stroller and car seat combination, these include:

  • The stroller locks securely into place. Once you hear the locking mechanism the parent can be rest assured that the child will be safe throughout the journey in the stroller.
  • The sun canopy which comes with the car seat not only protects the infant’s delicate skin from the rays of the sun, but can protect against wind, rain and other elements. This shade also gives the infant privacy.
  • The stroller and car seat most likely come with fabric that can be removed from the component and put into the washing machine.
  • The transition from the vehicle to the home, to the stroller is easier when the child can sleep throughout the process. In the majority of these components, the child is not disturbed by removing, or adding on the car seat to the stroller.
  • There are hundreds of choices available from hundreds of retailers and brands. Colors, patterns and other choices are easy to choose when there are this many options.
  • The car seat can often be adjusted to face backwards or forwards. This was, the infant can look towards or away from the parent who is pushing the buggy.
  • Most of these systems come with adjustable handles, which can be changed depending on the height of the parent that is pushing the travel system.
  • Travel systems offer a high level of convenience for the parents.

Of course, like any other decisions, there are definitely some disadvantages when making the choice to purchase a car seat and stroller combinations that lock together, these include:

  • These systems can be very expensive. For the travel system you can expect to pay between three and five hundred dollars.
  • Sometimes, both parts must be bought separately and are compatible within the brand.
  • It can be difficult to find a rain cover which matches the device.
  • Some of these devices can be heavy, as the car seat is locked into the stroller device. Sometimes, they can be difficult to push.
  • Trying to fold the stroller can be difficult, as these types of strollers are not lightweight and take up a lot of room in the trunk of a vehicle, or SUV.
  • Many parents find the storage underneath of these types of stroller systems difficult to access.

]]> With their classic lines and appeal, combined with the designs dating back to the nineteenth century, baby carriages are a classic way to transport your infant while they are able to lie on their back.

Carriages are one of the most expensive types of strollers, with one unit costing upwards of one-thousand dollars. As well as this added cost, they can be difficult to store as they do not fold as well as modern varieties. Carriages can be difficult to push as they are created from metal, making them too heavy for many new moms who are just gaining back their strength after a long nine months.

The benefits to a carriage include the baby being able to sleep while lying on their back, the versatility of the large wheels, as well as the baby being able to face the driver. Often, these carriages are designed with the use of elegant fabrics, used to create a classic carriage look with a canopy.

Many modern carriages allow the bassinet to be removed from the frame, allowing the infant to sleep within the carriage, once moved to a different frame. This allows the child to rest undisturbed, after a calming nap.

Carriages are also commonly referred to as Prams.

For the most part carriages are meant for infants who are unable to sit on their own. This means that the infant will grow up and out of the carriage rather quickly, often in less than six months. For this reason, many manufacturers are creating carriages that have versatility to be transformed into bassinets.

Although the baby carriage comes with a safety strap, it is up to the new parent to provide the sides of the carriage with bumpers. Keep in mind that the wheels of the carriage are large, providing good suspension for the baby, but the baby could easily be moved from side to side, and therefore a bumper is essential. When securing the bumper inside of the carriage, be sure to tie it tightly. You do not want the child to be able to grab hold of it and pull it over itself.

Most carriages come without the added safety issue of the child being able to reach the latch which causes the carriage to collapse. This means the child will be safe within the carriage, without the fear of becoming entangled within the stroller.

For mom’s that wish to have that touch of class and old school glamour, a carriage seems like the obvious choice. It makes a statement in any community, and can be found at speciality baby shops, and of course here at Pramalot!

]]> One stroller may compare very closely to another when shopping for strollers. All are designed similarly and provide the same safety features, come with the same colors and similar designs – which make setting yourself apart from the crowd difficult.

Did you know that there are many ways to customize the stroller to match the personality of the new parents, and the personality of the new baby? There are many things that can be done, such as using stroller pads, stroller covers and accessories to completely change the appearance and make the stroller functional for your entire family. Here are some things you can do to set your stroller apart from the crowd:

There are various retailers on the internet that sell customized stroller pads that cover the entire seat of the stroller and attach with Velcro or buttons through the side to secure the stroller. These stroller pads embrace safety with sections for the safety belts to be looped through, or around the stroller pad. With a variety of colors and designs available, these are a great way to customize a chic stroller while adding padding and comfort to the infant seat.

Accessories are available for the stroller that can change the standard tray I front of the strollers to sectioned trays which make snacks a lot easier, can hold crayons, or even a drink holder! Some of these trays come with loops embedded that allow the parent to attach toys and drinks to the tray, so that they do not pose a safety hazard when being used. If toys or cups fall in front of the stroller they can entice the infant to wriggle out, or cause the stroller to tip if the toy becomes caught in one of the wheels. These accessories are available at baby stores and many online stores as well.

Would you like to transition your stroller to be used in the winter? There are some products available that allow the new parents to attach skis to the base of the wheels, locking the wheels in place enabling the stroller to guide easily over snow, ice and even sleet! This is a must have for the parents that wish to expose their child to the joys of the indoor outdoor life, but don’t want the danger of using a sled for an infant. These attachments can be purchased for as little as fifteen dollars from various infant websites and come with lifetime guarantee.

]]> Regardless of the season a stroller rain cover is an essential when it comes to protecting your infant or your toddler from the elements, especially throughout the spring season or in areas where the weather seems to change quicker than you can get out the rain cover! Use these tips when choosing a rain cover:

Rain covers are made for a variety of strollers and are available where strollers are purchased. Many manufacturers have created plastic stroller covers to fit select models of strollers. Alternatively, universal plastic stroller covers are available but often do not fit as well as fitted covers for specific models.

When buying a rain cover, it is essential that it have proper ventilation to decrease the instance of the plastic fogging up, making it uncomfortable for the infant or the child to be inside of the stroller under the rain cover. Often, the plastic is vented, so that air is able to get in and out but the child is still protected from the water and the elements.

Are there any safety issues that come along with choosing a plastic rain protector for the stroller? First, the rain cover should be snug to the stroller so it does not become stuck in the base of the wheels. Second, when you are using the rain cover for the stroller it is essential that the rain cover not be too close the face of the child. If the plastic is able to move towards the face, the child can become suffocated. It is important to make sure that the rain cover is secured on the bottom of the stroller, on the top and as well as the sides. Making sure that the rain cover cannot be moved, decreases the risk that the child is able to reach, chew on or suffocate on the plastic.

When shopping for a plastic stroller cover, what kind of plastic should you look for? The plastic should be child-safe and free of emitting harsh chemicals.

Rain covers for strollers come equipped with canvas in the areas that are going to see the most wear, such as by the handle bars and the sides. For the most part, other components of the rain cover are going to be made out of clear plastic that the child can see through, and also allow the mother to keep an eye on the child in the stroller.

Covers can be obtained for as little as twenty dollars and are an essential add-on to the string of stroller accessories.
