Also known as the umbrella stroller is the lightweight baby stroller. Lightweight strollers are great for travel, trips to the mall or quick trips to the Dr. office. Have back or joint pain? You will want to find a full-service lightweight stroller.
Why would you want to add this stroller to your baby stroller collection?
- Easily stows in trunk
- Weighs less than 20 lbs.
- Cost is less than a full feature all-terrain stroller
Think of the lightweight stroller as an upgraded umbrella stroller. My own experiences with being tall and pushing an umbrella stroller were not good as they come with cheap cloth seats and a handlebar made for someone much shorter than I.
Here are the features to look for in a full function lightweight baby stroller:
- 5 point safety harness that is easy to adjust
- Adjustable handlebar
- Sturdy and stable frame made of metal which will help it withstand lots of walking (no running)
- Padded seat so that your passenger is comfy
- Small 6″ or 8″ wheels (remember the bigger the wheel size the easier the push) Adjustable reclining seat
- Large sun canopy
- Easy fold with safety mechanism to prevent stroller from accidentally collapsing while child is riding in stroller
- Large storage basket for diaper bag and other necessities
Accessories:
Make sure your stroller either comes with the following accessories or they can be purchased separately to get the most use out of your lightweight stroller:
- Parent Console,
- Snack Tray,
- Bumper Bar,
- Infant Car Seat Adapter,
- Travel Carry Bag,
- Rain and Sun Canopies…
A full function lightweight stroller could be just the stroller you need. It is the perfect addition to your All-terrain stroller and possibly travel system strollers. One can never have too many baby strollers! Ready to purchase a lightweight stroller for your next outing? Check out Baby Jogger, Valco Baby or Britax. All 3 brands offer just what you really need!
