Top 10 Baby Stroller Safety Tips
Baby strollers are an essential part of family life. They help us parents get on with what we need to
do when our children can't keep up with us. They give our children as 'safe place' to retreat to when
the world gets a little too big for them. For the most part baby strollers are very safe. However as
with any 'tool' there are always risks and dangers. This article will give you 10 basic safety tips for
using your baby stroller to make sure that it is as safe as possible for you and your children to use.
Basic Baby stroller Safety
1) Be sure the stroller you're using is the right size for your child. Much like with a car seat, different
sized kids need different sized strollers. This is not only for their comfort, but also for their safety. In
the wrong size of stroller padding doesn't rest where it should on the child's body, hands can reach
things they shouldn't, and weight isn't distributed properly which can make a stroller unbalanced.
2) Properly strap your child in at all times. If you start off using the belts right from the start and stick
with it, you'll get no complaints from your kids. Just be sure that they are secure enough, but not too
tight. The straps aren't only to keep the child from climbing out of the stroller, they also keep them
from falling out if it tips severely, or hits a big rut.
3) If you are using a combo unit (car seat and stroller together), always double check to be sure that
the car seat latches in properly.

4) Always make sure the brake is in good working order. Regularly check all cables and pads, or
latches to be sure they are working well and are free of any obstructions or dirt.

5) Be sure to check the wheels for problems and make sure that they are in good condition. This
doesn't take much. Just be sure they are all working well, aren't wobbling too much and aren't
wearing out.
6) OK, this may sound obvious, but always be sure all wheels are on tight. Some models of strollers -
especially jogging baby strollers - have removable wheels. You need to be sure they are always
secure before heading out. I once saw a woman tip her jogging stroller back to go over a curb and
watched the front wheel take off down the hill after it fell off.
General Use
7) Most newer strollers come with many storage areas. Some of the largest are usually at the back.
Be sure you do not overload these. It is really easy for an overloaded stroller to tip over backwards
and toss your baby out!
8) Don't load heavy items on top of your child while they are in the stroller.
9) The same goes for hot drinks and such. Never leave hot drinks above your child on the stroller.
The last thing your child needs is a 1/2 litre of screaming hot mocha java in the face!
10) Finally, never, ever, leave your child unattended in a stroller. This doesn't mean you have to be
no more than a foot away at all times. Just be sure that either you, or another responsible adult (not
child) is within easy reach at all times.

Keep these tips in mind as you go about your daily business and use your stroller. It will keep your
children safer and give you more peace of mind.
What To Look For In Jogging Strollers
Jogging strollers have gained popularity in recent years thanks to improvements in their design.
Now, customers can really use these strollers for jogging and more traditional stroller purposes.
However, this does not really tell you about what you should be looking for in jogging strollers to
find the best ones for you. Here, we take a look at this issue by providing a list of tips you can use to
find the best ones.
One important area that you should concerned about is the handle height of the stroller. This is
important because if the handle is not the right height to your body or can't be adjusted to that
level, it will create problems for you. The reason is that it will negatively impact your running motion
which will hurt your jogging form and also reduce the enjoyment you can get out of the run.
Therefore, you should be looking for options that will accommodate your height. One way to do this
aside from looking at the specs offered by the manufacturer is to read reviews. You should take note
to see if others are having issues with the height or whether it is not mentioned and thus not likely
to be an issue. By simply looking at a number of reviews, you can begin to see which strollers may
have a problem in this area.
A second thing that you need to be concerned about is what you will need in terms of storage space.
The different jogging strollers can vary quite a bit in what storage space they offer. One reason for
this is how wide the back wheels are. The more width between the wheels, the more storage space

that is created. Therefore, you may have to make a decision on how wide you want the stroller by
considering how much storage space that you will need. Regardless, most people find that there is
enough adequate storage space to hold many of the basic items one would need.
A third thing that you will want to key on is the little extra items like the canopy. What you want to
check on is to make sure the canopy will be effective for your baby. The reason is that many strollers
will only offer a canopy that is attached to the back of the stroller. This is limiting because it cannot
follow the path of the sun. What you should be looking for is options that will allow you to adjust the
canopy so that it can follow the path of the sun. The result will be that you can more easily keep the
sun out of the eyes of your baby. This can help translate in you being able to enjoy your run or jog
more.
By keeping all these different things in mind, you should be in much better shape to find the quality
jogging strollers. This can help you get just the right one for you and allow you to be much more
happy with your purchase.
