I will be very honest with you, I love strollers as much as my baby does. He loves going out for his morning and evening strolls and I get to enjoy a peaceful walk around the park. However, buying a stroller for your baby may not be as easy. There are numerous (good & bad) options available online in India. I hence decided to compile this buyer’s guide to help you purchase the best baby strollers in India.

Baby strollers have become one of the most essential and convenient baby products in the market. Not only do they allow you to take your baby anywhere, but it also creates a bond in the process of exposing your baby to new environments. It gives the parents a sense of security and makes it easier to care for the baby whenever possible.

This section is for parents that have already done some primary research and are directly looking for recommendations.

If budget is not an issue, but you want a stroller that is safe for your baby, is light but sturdy and can be easily folded, this product by Chicco is the ideal choice for you.

However, if you are looking for a more budget-friendly option, you can opt for this model by Luvlap.

Pram vs Stroller – Which one is right for me?

While a stroller is interchangeably used with a pram, they are not the same.

Prams found their origin in the UK, and it is the short form of the British word “perambulator.” Prams are used to carry newborns until they can sit, whereas strollers are for toddlers who can sit up.

Prams have soft flat bottoms in the carriage which allows you to put the baby to sleep.

On the other hand, strollers are called buggy or carriage in the UK. They are designed to make the babies sit. They have security features such as crotch straps, life belt and a harness. It looks like a chair on wheels with a canopy.

Since prams have limited usage, I will only be discussing strollers in this article from hereon.  If you are specifically looking for prams, drop a comment below the article with your requirements and I will respond back to you.

 

A quick check of things to look for while buying this product:

• First and foremost, have a look at the safety measures that the product offers. I will recommend only buying a stroller that offers a 5 point safety harness. It is similar to what race car drivers use and keep your baby safely strapped in.
• If you are low budget, you can go for 3 point harness but keep a close eye on your baby while you are out on a stroll
• How sturdy the stroller is. It should not break down easily and should at least last you for 3 to 4 years.
• The comfort of your baby. Make sure the internal cushioning and belts are comfortable enough for your baby.
• How well does the stroller recline and how many positions does it support. Can you baby sleep in it comfortably?
• Price – How expensive is the stroller compared to the quality that it offers?
• Other features like reversible handles, protection from sun and wind etc.

 

I know this can sound quite challenging, hence I compiled the list of 5 best strollers for your baby that you can choose from.

Buyer’s guide – How to Select the Right Stroller?

 

What is a stroller?

A stroller is a carriage where babies are manually transported in a basket on wheels. Different cultures use strollers made of different materials and in various designs.

A stroller is often mistaken for a pram because of the structure, but there are few noticeable differences between a stroller and a pram.

 

Benefits of using a Stroller/Pram

• They can help parents and caregivers transport their kids more conveniently while allowing you to take the weight of your arms and shoulders.
• Baby strollers will enable you to carry the baby more comfortably while you are engaged in other activities.
• This product also keeps the baby safe and cosy from the weather and other external contamination.
• They are easy to use and improve portability over a long distance because they can be easily assembled, detached or adjusted.
• Strollers come with storage space which makes you more freedom to access to the babies needs wherever you go.

 

Types of Strollers in India:

There are many different types of strollers to choose from, and the right stroller can significantly ease your way to access your daily life with the baby.

The different types of baby strollers you can select from are:

 

Full-sized stroller:

They are sturdy, bigger and usually most durable. You can use them to wheel your baby until they grow into toddlers. To pick the best full-sized stroller, you have to make sure that it is wide, well-padded and comfortable with a deep seat recline. They usually come with an option to attach it to the car seat and mount it facing forward or rear. Some of the best models have adjustable canopies, storage under the seat and cup or utility holders. The downside is, they can be bulky so they can be inconvenient in public transport, busy streets or small areas.

 

Travel system:

These are made for parents who travel often. The strollers can be easily assembled and detached for storage. There are joggers travel strollers, lightweight and full-size travel strollers. Strollers with a travel system allow you to transfer the baby in the stroller more easily with minimum hassle for storing and portability.

 

Jogging stroller:

Jogging strollers are practically made for taking your babies for a stroll while you jog or hike around. They are built for easier manoeuvrability in different types of terrain while keeping your baby comfortable and safe. These types of strollers have wheels that can swivel and flexible for speed or stability. They often come with three wheels, one in front and two at the back. The best jogging strollers have deep reclining and adjustable seats with brakes, harness and wrist straps for maximum security. They can be quiet heavy and not storage friendly as the lightweight strollers.

 

Car seat carrier:

These strollers are light, compact and can be attached to your car seat in a jiffy. All you have to do is connect or recline the wheels when you take them on or off the car. They can multi-task as car-seat frames and baby strollers.

Though they are highly convenient, they do not last as long as the full seat stroller. They are not very wide in size or sturdy in the build so these are best used for babies or toddlers for a short duration because the baby will outgrow them soon.

If you are also looking at buying a car seat for your baby, don’t forget to go through my list of Best Car Seats for Babies in India.

 

Umbrella/lightweight stroller:

These strollers are designed for portability so you can take your kid indoors or outdoors with ease. They are usually foldable and detachable with adjustable straps.

These types of strollers are usually equipped with an expandable canopy, seat recline and storage basket or snack tray and cup-holders. If you are looking for a stroller for newborns below six months, the lightweight model with car seat adapters will allow you to take the baby anywhere safely.

 

Double/ triple stroller:

If you have more than one baby to bring around, the double stroller is most convenient. These types of strollers come in two designs: side-by-side or front and back (tandem). This stroller will allow you to manage multiple children with one stroller. Double strollers can be quite substantial, bulky and hard to store. But there are advanced versions that can be adjusted to go through narrow spaces and foldable for easy storage.

 

Considering the safety, durability, quality, and sturdiness of the strollers are some of the basic things you need to do before buying a stroller. You also have to check the portability, convenience of use, comfort, design and added features to get the best value out of your money.
