Which stroller can you choose?

The cane stroller takes its name from its 2 separate and very distinct handles which have the curved shape of the top of a cane used for walking. In addition, once folded, you can carry the stroller on your arm, like a cane. For many years, the stroller has been recognized for its practicality. Indeed, compared to other strollers, it is light, compact, and is more and more complete, thus bringing together the qualities of its most complex rivals. It is often found in urban areas or when traveling, because, once again, it takes up little space, and folds and unfolds easily and quickly. To help you make your choice, here is a selection of the best strollers.

Pushchair-cane, from what age?

Generally, the stroller cane is used from the second age, around 9 to 12 months, when the child begins to sit. Most models offer an aluminum structure and a sitting position, and can tilt slightly, for example for a nap. Only certain models offer a completely reclining position, thus suitable for the first months of life, these will then be more complete and more comfortable strollers. Depending on the age of your baby, it is important to check all these aspects. A child can go in this type of stroller until the age of 3 years on average; and, beyond, we sometimes continue to use them during long walks, and according to their solidity.

Which stroller can you choose in 2020?

There are many models of pushchairs adapted to the age of the child, and with different options, depending on how useful you are, the extra stroller that can replace the one you use every day, to a more complete version.

For newborns

For older children

Around 9 to 12 months, the child begins to sit, so he likes to be strolled in front of the world, in a sitting or semi-lying position. The use of the pushchair-cane is more practical than the pram, because it is less bulky, and can be the solution that takes over after the period in pram. When the child can walk, it will be used on journeys during which he can get tired, for example. At this age, he is well seated, and the stroller allows him to rest, or even take a nap, hence the usefulness of the semi-recumbent position.

The essential characteristics

Among the many qualities and options that a stroller must have, there are some that are essential. At the level of the harness (that is to say the fastener, the seat belt which keeps the child in place), there must be 3 points minimum, even 5 for infants. For older children, the footrest is important, since it offers an ideal posture for the well-being of the back. In addition, it is useful for helping children when they are able to get on and off their stroller, such as walking. The hood that covers the stroller and protects from the rain and the sun is also necessary, unless you have an umbrella to replace it. Rods generally have 4 wheels which must be solid and resistant, others have only 3, they are more sporty and all-terrain. Finally, think about comfort, because this kind of stroller, in a very simple version, is not always very comfortable for long walks.

What is the best pushchair?

The best pushchair will be the one that matches the child's age, your needs, your activities and your profile. First of all, even if most strollers comply with these standards, it is essential to check that they comply with French standards NF S 54001 and European standards EN 1888 which ensure the presence of various safety devices: stability, a brake , a suitable harness, and the locking of the folding system.

Then, it must be as practical as possible, whether in terms of storage or handling. We prefer strollers that fold and unfold quickly and easily, intuitively, when loading the car, when entering a bus, or when it starts to rain ... In addition to that, we want '' as easy to handle as possible, easy to drive and steer. Besides, there are now all-terrain pushchairs with suspensions, wheels and brakes suitable for all types of paths.

As for families of travelers, the stroller cane is a good compromise that allows you to take it everywhere with you without taking up too much space. Some are even so compact that they can be carried in the cabin on planes. In addition, they are sometimes equipped with suspenders which allow them to be worn like a backpack.

Certain brands are leaders in terms of infantile equipment, with quality materials, and offering an incomparable guarantee. Indeed, it is better to opt for a quality stroller-rod, at the price all the same affordable, which will support the innumerable folds and unfoldings, transport, and uses, since it is one of the elements most used during childhood.
