The Best Baby Stroller - What to Buy in the Stroller Jungle

When you’re about to buy a stroller for the first time, you feel like you’ve entered the world of rocket science: carrycot or seat; or both, foldable, aluminium, plastic; three wheeled or four wheeled; how the heck are you supposed to find out how to get a high quality, practical, safe and good looking stroller for your little one?

We took a good look around, talked to people who once where just as confused as us some time ago, and a brand that kept coming up was the Bugaboo Stroller. Yes, we’ve seen it in the tabloids, used by celebrities like Gwyneth Paltrow and Gwen Stephani, but what’s the little frog like stroller really about?

This is the stroller for the active parent, and yes, the parents using it swear by it. In the city, on the beach, in the woods, you will be able to use the Bugaboo everywhere. To find out ourselves we tried, and; yes, it can surely live up to it’s rumour. 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 to move it around in the sand a all. It could easily be manoeuvred just about everywhere, since it’s light weight and the swivel like wheel makes it really easy to turn and walk with in any environment. Another feature we really liked was that you could 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 want 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.

The handle bar is adjustable, so when grandma or daddy is going for a walk with the baby they can adjust it to their own comfortable height. The seat and bassinet is reversible, so when the baby grows and wants to look around instead of facing you, it’s easy to turn around in one grip.

Some other features:

- 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 under seat bag is big; 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 fit for a longer baby and taller child.

So is this really the Rolls Royce of stroller some claim it to be? Yes, we really think it is. Is there a downside to it? Yes, the price. Takes a while to digest, but if we look upon it as the investment it really is, the price (about 900 $) is something to consider, because you won’t have to swap it for another on as the baby grows, it will grow with your child for as long as you need a stroller. And you will have a stroller for all of your kids, if there’s more to come!
