How long did you research stroller options for your newborn baby?
curious asked:
I cannot make my mind for three month already… How long did it take you and what was your final choice?

I have been looking, but as a have a very very tight budget I’m not going to have much choice anyway. Emma Due Jun 2010

not too long. if you can take a fully packed bag to the store with you when shopping. look for one that moves easily and has enough balance that it can hold a bag or two on the handle. if it has a basket under you will like that too. when you need a stroller you really need storage too generally.

I spent very little time on stroller and focused more on finding a safe car seat. I was more worried about my baby in the car than in the stroller. Especially when he is riding with others. I want to know even if they get in a accident that he is safe. I would say look for one that you can get extended use but is easy to transport fits in your car and is not really bulky. *^%AuNaTuRaLMomMa%^*

I didn’t really research….I went store to store looking for the sturdiest stroller that I could actually lift, and I found one for $50. It look less than a hour. Rae’s Momma

We don’t own a car and live in a city, so we walk a lot and use public transport. So a stroller was really important for us (since we have no car and no real need for car seats). Our main transport is walking, so again, a stroller is not just somewhere to put baby between the parking lot and the store, but the main method of transport.
That said, we looked at strollers/pushchairs, for about 6 months and just bought one, my wife is due in about a month.
We’re having twins so slings are not really an option when one of us is not around. yert

It felt like I was searching forever. I wanted a lightweight stroller that would fold small enough to fit in the trunk of my eclipse. I would finally find one I liked, and the shipping to our state (Hawaii) would be ridiculous, if they would ship it here at all. I didn’t care to buy one with tons of gadgets or anything else either. I finally found a brand new one that had been discontinued on craigslist, and I love it. My daughter is almost 4 months now, and it works perfect for us to take on walks and quick trips out. We bought the Mia Moda Cielo, and it’s by far the best thing I’ve bought for my daughter yet.
Edit** I’m all for slings and baby carriers as well, like some of the other people have said. They work great when your baby is small or in places that a stroller just isn’t convenient, but ya know, I can’t for the life of me get my husband to wear one, no matter how “manly” the carrier looks. He just won’t do it. A stroller is nice for us parents that like to “share the load.” Chel

I thought pushing a ten-pound object, an ‘object’ that would rather be in arms, was stupid and silly. I still think that.
I bought some nice slings and carriers, researching those purchases a bit, and then bought a stroller I liked the looks of when my daughter was 19mo and too heavy for constant carrying. K

I asked the staff at the store, he explained everything to me about all of them. I went with the Chicco. I’m glad I asked, because when I first saw that brand I thought it was cheapy, but it’s actually great..and not one of the cheapest. WhyteGirL

let me give you some advice. You want to know how it works before you use it. So wutever store you plan on going to, check online first. read some reviews of people who have used it. it will let you know if its hard to put together, the ease of use and how easy it is to fold up. if its hard or easy to wash or if it broke easily or wutever. write down a few that you like and be aware if its available online only. then u shud go to the store and see how they feel when u push them around….i did. it only took me about 20 mins online. i ordered mine online tho. it turned out perfect for me!!

I got a travel system for my shower — I registered for that and knew I wanted one for the infant seat/stroller combo, so that didn’t take much thought. we got a graco metrolite system. I used a sling too, but certain things required one or the other, it was nice to have both. I’m out a lot. when he grew out of his infant seat though, we needed a new stroller because the big travel system stroller is sooooo huge and clumsy and it took up my whole trunk. I was researching for about a month for a new smaller sized umbrella stroller — I really recommend the inglesina swift, which is what we ultimately decided on. it’s similar to the maclaren quest (I tried both) but half the price. I also tried the chicco C6 and looked at the chicco liteway and the inglesina was my favorite. it’s SO nice. H

I’d just be using a sling for a newborn.
An inexpensive umbrella stroller is all I need. I do only short jaunts and errands. I hate shopping, so if a longer trip is required, I’d just leave baby at home with dad.
You just have to decide your usage needs. A lot of people are happy with the travel systems, but they are simply too big and heavy for me. Doodlestuff

I didn’t research strollers. I decided a baby would be happier being carried by my husband and I so I researched wraps and carriers a lot, got a Moby Wrap and ring sling… Then 3 months postpartum, I wanted to begin running again, since my husband works in camp week on week off I cannot consistently run… SO I researched jogging strollers for about a week, got one with shocks and fixed wheel. All I need to run a couple of times a week on trails. Still use the wrap for everything else. Alice

I walked past it one day before I was even pregnant saw it thought it was cute. Then when I found out I was pregnant I went back to see if they still had it and they did. I put it on my registry and my aunts and cousins bought it. It was simple I didn’t even really look at all. Supermommy!!!
