5 Things to Consider When Choosing Your Platonic Victual Stroller
Top Recommended Victual Strollers in Singapore
All Well-nigh PramFox
Things to Consider When Choosing The Perfect Stroller
1. Compactness
The three main categories of prams are: full size strollers, municipality meaty strollers and cabin-sized strollers. The unstipulated rule is as you move lanugo in size, you will start to lose unrepealable features, such as larger, sturdy wheels, zaftig basket space etc. You should spend some time taking note of the pavements and doorways you use the most. If you find yourself in shopping malls and small alleys a lot, then a meaty cabin-sized victual stroller is probably the weightier (and will serve you well when we get to travel again!). If you’re spending a lot of time virtually unshut spaces like some of our local parks, then perhaps a fuller-featured, less-compact victual stroller would be better.
2. Future-proofing (or expecting twins)
If you’re going to invest in a high-end victual stroller (and plan on having increasingly than one child), segregate a single stroller that has the worthiness to convert to a double later so you can future-proof your investment. Most victual strollers can unbend a buggy workbench that allows a toddler to stand or sit overdue the when wheels, but note that since the older child can’t be strapped in place, it may not be an platonic permanent solution.
3. Car seat compatibility
Pretty much every top-tier infant car seat is uniform with most premium victual strollers these days. This ways if your pram says it’s uniform with either popular car seat brands such as Maxi Cosi, Cybex, BeSafe or Mountain Buggy, then it’s uniform with all of those. You’ll only have to start worrying when your victual outgrows their infant car seat (this usually happens virtually 18 months) and needs to progress to a toddler car seat. If you have a car, then you can jump superiority and get a car seat that’ll stay put, but if you need to use taxis or private rent vehicles, it can stupefy which pram you segregate from the get go.
4. Foldability
Do note that a one-hand fold is not the same thing as an ‘easy fold’ when it comes to victual strollers. Something that’s really easy to swoon can sometimes require two hands. If you’re specifically looking for something you can fold while holding your baby, that’s when the one-hand fold matters.
5. Running
See yourself jogging a lot with victual in tow? The unstipulated guideline is to wait until bub is six months old and has decent neck strength surpassing bringing them along, but it’s unchangingly a good idea to trammels with your paediatrician. When looking for a jogging or running stroller, it’s weightier to squint out for puncture-proof tyres or air-filled tyres (just like a bicycle) for uneaten cushioning, but you’ll need to be prepared to get a unappetizing tyre every now and then.

It folds easier than any other stroller in the world and it has a unique car seat connector so that, when you pair it with the Nuna car seat (it can fit all other car seats too), it’s plane easier to get the car seat on and off the frame compared to other prams.
