Graco Quattro Tour Duo

Graco is one of the better known brands of baby hardware and it is unlikely that any mum or mum-to-be has not heard of them. They are well known for their quality products and this includes their range of some of the best baby strollers available. One such range includes the Graco duo strollers. As the name suggests, this model is designed to carry two children in safety and comfort. If you just want to buy at a good price, click here, if not, read on!

One of the best strollers for baby is the Quattro Tour Duo. As you would expect, one of the most popular features is the one-handed gravity folding mechanism. Just push the button, and it will just fold itself down to the ground. Added to this, the handles are ergonomically designed and can be adjusted for greater maneuverability, even one-handed use is improved over a lot of models. Your children’s comfort is afforded by the use of an efficient spring suspension system and there is also sufficient storage, cup holders and a parent storage tray. A very useful feature is the removable seat pad as this facilitates easy washing along with the frame. On the down side, all that plastic is obvious but as the price is quite reasonable perhaps that is expected.

The model will accept two car seats from the range of Graco SnugRide 32 and Infant Safe Seat car seats with the front seat taking a child up to 50lbs the back seat will take a 40lb weight. The seating arrangement is a stadium system with the front seat being lower than the rear.

The reviews of Graco baby strollers are using good and the pricing is varied. Therefore, if you are looking for a stroller for baby, including a twin strollers, you need to give Graco some consideration.

What Types Of Baby Strollers Can You Buy?

On August 11, 2009, In What To Look For In A Stroller, By Sophie

There are several types of stroller apart from the standard to choose from and these include lightweight strollers, twin strollers, a stroller travel system, a triple stroller, a tandem stroller or a running stroller.

Double strollers have two seats and come with several seating arrangements. A traditional tandem stroller will seat the first child with a good view but the child behind can see very little. Tandem seating is like stadium seating where the rear seat is raised above the one in front and there is also face to face seating seating or a side by side twin stroller.

A jogging or running stroller allow you to bring your child or children along on a run. A running stroller has a triangular wheel base with two large wheels in the rear and one wheel in the front.  An added safety feature is a wrist strap on the handle bar to prevent the stroller rolling away when you stop if you don’t get the brake on fast enough.

Triple strollers are unsurprisingly for three children. Seating arrangements can be side by side but most will have tandem or stadium seating.

Umbrella strollers are relatively inexpensive, lightweight and generally easier to fold and unfold and store in a car. They are terrific for short trips to the Mall or short walks but do not work well on all terrains. Umbrella strollers do have a tendency to tip back if anything is hung on the handles.

So called lightweight strollers also come with multiple seating but are slightly heavier than an umbrella stroller but slightly less than a standard stroller. Typically they fold in a single hand motion and look similar to a standard stroller.

A convertible stroller is changeable from a lie-flat bed suitable for newborns to a sit-up stroller with a lie-back facility for naps.

A stroller travel system is also convertible and suitable for very young or newborns. Unlike the convertible stroller, it also comes with a car seat.

Bike strollers or trailers can also be found as two seated models and have 5-point harnesses to secure the child. They are attached to the rear wheel of the bike and easily converted from a trailer to a stroller.

If you have a very young baby and a toddler, you’ll need the type of stroller that will allow you to take them both out together in safety. Some of the twin side-by-side strollers or a double stroller travel system will do this. Not cheap, but you may be able to find one second-hand.

What Should I Look For When Buying A Baby Running Stroller?

On August 11, 2009, In What To Look For In A Stroller, By Sophie

When you buy a baby running stroller, the first thing you must keep in mind is your baby’s safety.

Secondly, when you take your baby out, you need to carry changing bag, feeding bottles etc., so your baby stroller should be sturdy and have enough space to carry a bag or two and also plenty of storage space.

Thirdly, storage is something you need to consider as you will need to store your baby running stroller in the house, on a train or in a car, so go for an easy to fold and carry one. It should also be lightweight as if you buy a bulky baby stroller, later on it will give you problems.

To expand a bit, it may sound obvious, but the baby stroller should have a safety belt to secure the baby in place so that the baby doesn’t slip out (do make sure you use it!). The baby running stroller should have a good breaking system to control the movement on slopes and, as a safety mechanism; a stroller should also have a leash in case of a brake failure.

Different models are available on the market. When selecting a model you should keep in mind the weight and age of your child. A running stroller should be able to minimize the bumps and vibrations for your child and you must take the stroller for a test run before deciding on one particular model. The baby running stroller should give the child a smooth ride.

Go for a model where the front wheel will lock for jogging as this is easier, but for other times a swivel wheel may be easier. Hence it is suggested a wheel that will just lock when required is a useful feature. Also get an aluminium frame as these are lighter in weight for when you need to carry the stroller and the wheels should be larger since it gives least resistance when manoeuvring. Some people prefer a running stroller with larger front wheel but this will be down to personal preference.
