STANDARD STROLLERS

BASIC FEATURES
basic features for the passenger

Sleepy angels: In terms of standard strollers, the absolute requirement is that the seat reclines flat enough for a newborn as they are unable to support their own head weight, and also means you should expect some sort of supportive head and neck padding on the seat. Reclining the seat: zippers, hooks, drawstrings, and snaps are just some of the seat recline mechanisms found on modern strollers-some of which adjust more effortlessly and are less intrusive to a sleeping child than others.

One smooth ride: Not surprisingly, the lower-priced standard strollers usually lack any real suspension and only handle mall linoleum and smooth sidewalks without jostling your little passenger. On the other end of the stroller spectrum, decent suspension and larger wheels are a typical part of the manufacturing process, although if you take any standard (not all-terrain) stroller off-road, your child is in for more bumps and shakings than even the best standard baby stroller can absorb.

Whether the weather: The baby stroller you purchase should effectively protect your little one's delicate skin and eyes from direct sunlight (no matter what angle the sun). Unfortunately, this is still not a standardized process across baby strollers, so make sure and test out the canopy beforehand. And while you're at it, look for a good peek-a-boo (peace of mind) window inset in the canopy. In terms of additional weather protection, there are also a growing number of strollers with attachable rain-covers, some of which also include a snuggly winter boot.
