Convenience Strollers - Making Life Easier

If you are about to have a baby or you or your family is planning to have a baby, the purchase of accessories for your new addition can prove to be an expensive but exciting experience. When shopping for baby strollers you might want to look into convenience strollers. Convenience strollers, commonly known as lightweight strollers, can make life easier because they're not as cumbersome as the larger strollers which are now found at most stores. Convenience strollers allow you a major convenience for transporting your child from one place to another with a lighter, more versatile counterpart to the full size stroller.Convenience strollers are one type of lightweight stroller and many have built into them accessories or features which are common to full sized strollers. One such feature you may find in a convenience stroller is the one handed closing mechanism. With just a quick flick of the wrist you can have your convenience stroller folded up into an easy to store position and ready to be used again when you need it. Another feature you can find is a canopy which can help keep your baby protected from the sun or rain drops if you need to be out in the rain. And, like their larger counterparts, the canopies are quite often adjustable or removable for added versatility.Many convenience strollers can be used from birth in that they allow for a fully reclined seating position. If you do use this type of stroller for your very young baby, make sure to use an infant head support for your little one to help keep him or her comfortable. Most convenience strollers are mainly targeted for children who are able to sit up and hold their heads up and can usually accommodate children who weigh up to 40lbs, so you will get quite a bit of use from this style of stroller, both in the mall and out in the park. And the locking wheels help keep the stroller immobile when you need the stroller to be stopped.There are some convenience strollers which have additional travel accessories such as cup holders, trays (or consoles), and large storage baskets. These items are useful especially when out for a day at the mall or traveling via plane or train. The convenience stroller is much easier to travel with since it is lighter and less bulky and therefore takes up less space on a plane or train or in your vehicle. And as previously mentioned, convenience strollers usually have a one handed closing mechanism which can help you close the stroller quickly if you are in a hurry boarding your plane. You can feel confident that years later you will not have to buy another piece of equipment or accessories to go along with the stroller.So keep in mind, if you are planning a family outing or are traveling with a little one, consider a convenience stroller. Why lug around a large full sized stroller when you can have everything you need whether you are in your car, home, or hotel? Convenience strollers always live up to their name.
