We think you can still use some reasonable judgment and a set of good criteria to get the best stroller for your travel needs. Whether you’ve got one trip in mind or you’re planning for outings throughout the year, we think asking yourself this set of questions will help you figure out what’s best for you.

Question 1: What kind of trip are of trip are you planning? Are you going by car or traveling by plane?
Hint: This will tell you whether kind of restrictions you need on your stroller selection, such as size and weight.

Question 2. What will you be using your stroller for? Are you just getting from one place to another or will you be jogging?
Hint: You can hone in on different types of strollers, like lightweight strollers, all terrain strollers, or jogging strollers.

Question 3. What type of ground will you encounter? Will there be paved streets or will there be rough roads?
Hint: This will tell you whether you need to look for a solid stroller with suspension or whether you can get away with an umbrella stroller for travel.

Question 4. What will the weather be like? Will it be warm and humid or cold and rainy?
Hint: You can figure out whether you need a canopy and other protective covering for your infant.

Question 5. What’s the age and weight of your infant?
Hint: Certain strollers aren’t appropriate for younger infants. For instance, joggers are more appropriate for older infants with good neck muscle control. Check the weight restrictions of a particular model of stroller.

Question 6. How much are you willing to spend?
Hint: Your budget will be the ultimate determinant of what you can and can’t buy. Remember, not to get carried away with the lure of features you don’t need. But it’s important not to make a decision solely on cost savings.

Travel Stroller

For many parents the idea of traveling with an infant or toddler can be overwhelming to say the least. The amount of necessary items for the comfort and safety of a child must always be considered before you go. One of the most common dilemma’s when flying with a child is whether or not to bring along your baby stroller.

A baby stroller can be a big help on a trip that will entail a good deal of walking or transporting a young child. However, be sure to remember to check out whether or not your destination will be stroller-friendly along the way.

Here are 10 tips for flying with a baby stroller:

1. Make an educated decision about bringing a baby stroller. First check with your airline for their policies on bringing along a baby stroller. This may determine whether or not you will consider it a hassle or an asset for your trip.

2. Know the area you will be walking around. Consider the terrain, the width of the aisles and doorways as well as the amount of stairs you may be subject to climb. Pushing a stroller on a bumpy stone path or transporting it between subway rides may well be more difficult than simply carrying your child.

3. Before you even get to the airport be sure to properly label your stroller (on the handle bar or side bars) with a permanent marker or paper label. Write down your contact information, destination and flight information. You will be given a tag when you check your stroller but it is better to use BOTH to insure you get your stroller back once you have landed.

4. Have a Plan B for those times when you will need to leave your stroller outside or in the trunk. For babies that weight no more than 20/30 lbs. keeping a baby carrier, sling or backpack is a good second option. For older children who can walk themselves, consider a harness to keep them tied to you in crowds and strange places. If you do not like the idea of a harness for your child just be sure to start explaining to them a little each day about the importance of staying next to you or other caregivers when you are in a different place. They should understand who it is safe to talk to and give them something that has your contact information to wear when you are out in public.

O.K. Now you are ready to head to the airport!

5. It will be easiest to employ your stroller throughout the airport and just check it at the gate of the plane. Most airlines will let you stroll right on up to the gate of the plane before having to check it in.

6. If you would like to count your stroller with your luggage at check-in be sure to find out if you will be charged an extra fee. Some airlines do not count a baby stroller as a part of the luggage you are allowed to bring on and may have a rate that you do not want to pay.

7. If you are loading at the gate you will be asked to remove your child yourself and fold the stroller down to be stored. (It is nice to have a helping hand available to hold your child(ren) during this part.) Bringing duct tape is a good idea if your stroller isn’t compact enough to store in the overhead compartment on the plane. Simply tape the sides of the stroller shut tightly or wrap the stroller entirely around it’s center. This will help to keep it closed while it is being loaded and unloaded into the cargo area therefore minimizing possible damage.

8. Your stroller will then be tagged and given a corresponding receipt that you will need to hold on to, in order to retrieve your stroller once you land.

9. Be sure to confirm with the attendant at the gate check where you will pick up your stroller upon landing. Most airlines will return your stroller at the gate as you exit but it could be sent along with the other luggage to the baggage claim.

10. Upon your exit present your receipt to claim your stroller or head to the baggage claim to retrieve it there. Remember to take advantage of your stroller and load it down with whatever baggage you can to alleviate the strain on your arms and shoulders.

It is important to note that if you are bringing a light umbrella stroller that can be folded compactly enough to fit into your overhead carrier (find out the dimensions from the airline) you will not need to gate check your stroller. Simply fold it and carry it to your seat. There are certain things you may want to consider before choosing between your lightweight,.standard stroller and your heavier, fancier stroller. Here is a list of pro’s and con’s for both.

Lightweight Strollers for the Family on the Go

By: David Cummings

lightweight stroller

You know parents today are more active than their baby boomer counterparts of a few decades ago. Not only do they work, but they also have active lifestyles which include exercise, socialization, and other outdoor activities in which baby should not be excluded from. Frequently, the traditional stroller does not fit this type of lifestyle. The active, energetic young couples they may want to consider lightweight strollers for their families so that their babies can be a part of any outdoor activities that are going on.

Lightweight strollers come in many shapes and sizes, but when you are shopping for one, either to supplement a full sized stroller or just get a new stroller, keep in mind that this style of stroller is best for older babies who can already sit up on their own and toddlers as well. Make sure your selection includes safety features which keep the stroller from folding when in use and is made of materials easy to clean. Another feature to verify is the height of the handlebars. Some very tall or very petite parents require adjustable handles and handlebars to accommodate their statures.

Lightweight strollers are wonderful for most families that are on the go. If a family travels a lot and moves from one place to another either by car or by air, lightweight strollers are essential in getting the baby with you to the airport, train station or bus terminal, or any other venue the family wishes to travel by. Lightweight strollers are usually less expensive than the traditional travel systems for babies and many lightweight strollers can be found online and can be purchased and shipped to your house with little to no effort at all, which is ideal for busy families!

How to Choose Lightweight Strollers

While the idea of a lightweight stroller is great, the stroller still needs to be able to fit the needs of the family and the child who will be riding in the stroller. The only way to know what lightweight strollers are best for our needs is to know what to look for in a lightweight stroller.

Weight

If you are looking for lightweight strollers, you are obviously looking for strollers that are going to be lighter than the usual, big and bulky strollers. Lightweight strollers are going to be light and are going to be easy to fold and stow away, so these are the things you should look for. How heavy is the stroller, or how light is the stroller, compared to others that you see? How small does the stroller get when you fold it up? These are the questions to ask to understand if this selection is perfect for you.

Capacity

All strollers are going to have some type of limit as far as height, and weight are concerned. And the older your child gets, the less likely he or she will want to be in the stroller. Lightweight strollers will have different limits, but many may have smaller capacities than some of the bigger strollers. How big is your child, and how long will they be able to use the lightweight stroller that you are looking at? This is also a great indicator of what type of lightweight strollers you should be looking for.

Accessories

Accessories are always important for those who are purchasing lightweight strollers, or any type of stroller for that matter. Are you looking at a stroller for your toddler? If so, a cup holder for your child’s drink would be a good feature to have. Is there something to shade the child such as a canopy? Is there a place for you to store a diaper bag or even your purse? These questions can help you to narrow down your lightweight strollers to a few solid choices.

Cost

Price comparison will allow you to find the best lightweight strollers for you, and also find the lightweight stroller that has the cost that most closely matches your budget. By doing this, you can get the maximum return on the lowest possible investment without giving up what you need.

When you look at a lightweight stroller, you may think of it in terms of weight. What you may not think about, however, are the accessories for your child, or the overall cost. By looking into all of these different aspects, you can be sure to find the best lightweight strollers for you and your family, so that your child can ride around comfortably.
