Easy handling stroller
I have been doing research on baby slings and now I'm onto strollers!
I have neck and shoulder problems so I would love to have recommendations on some easy handling strollers. I'm 5'7" and with my first grandchild the stroller was not easy to turn, I had to take rather short steps to keep from stepping on the stroller and had to hunch over to keep hold of the handles. I think the stroller was an evenflo and had 4 double wheels. I wish I could remember the model so I could give a negative review. I thought the jogging type strollers would be good to use, but after reading the reviews on strollers on epinions I see that several of the jogging type strollers were said to be wonderful on the straight path, but difficult to turn. This would not be a good situation for me at all. It would be painful for me to have to constantly be tense while strolling. Also, will jogging strollers accommodate an infant or are they only for children able to sit up? Has anyone come across a stroller: with handles that allow a longer stride and that you can grip at a comfortable height? that rolls, turns and handles with ease? that accommodates a sleeping infant to a sitting up toddler? that has a really good sun canopy? Thanks for all help! |

Easy handling stroller
well I have a baby trend santa fe and I'm 5'9 and it only has double wheels
in the front. It comes in a combo so it includes the infant seat along with a base for the car. I love it. You can go to either babies R us or Toy's R us to see what it is like.

This is the one we have... we road tested it with a friends child (as mine isnt here yet ... easy to turn... also if you are jogging or walking in a straight line for a long time you can lock the front wheel so it stays straight. It has everything... the basket underneath is covered all around so you dont have to take a nappy bag with you if you do want, you can also access the basket from all sides not just the back... it also has pockets for your purse, phone etc at the back of the hood... feels great to push around and looks nice too... its also quite a high jogger so you wouldnt need to be over the handle. http://www.britax.com.au/scProductDe...roductId=40267 HTH Leanne edd: 23rd april 2004 (30 days!) |

Thanks for all help! www.zooper.com I like the WalkAir personally but they also have 3 and 4 wheel joggers that look pretty nice! They have strollers that will do all you say you need. Adjustable handles, reversible seats, some will hold an infant carseat. They also come with a boot. This years' models have some extra suspension too. Mine is 3 years old and looks almost brand new - no bending of the frame, only had to add air to the tires twice so far... and we don't have sidewalks here, all road surface or gravel/sagebrush/cactus.. They are spendy, I waited for a clearance sale for mine, but I would consider them worth the $ to buy new. Stephanie mom to 7 17, 15, 12, 8, 6, 3 and 10 months |

Most of them these days come with a swivel front wheel which makes them a breeze to manouver. Steer clear of fixed front wheel they are hard to turn. They can usually recline for a newborn and sit up for a toddler. The Mountain Buggy is great it has all of the things you list and it is really robust. www.mountainbuggy.com Judy |

I don't know much about jogging strollers, but I do have a friend with a
Mountain Buggy stroller and it is fantastic. It handles incredibly easily. I think she's been using it since her child was newborn, it reclines fully. I'm planning on getting one when my baby is born this summer. "Kereru" wrote in message ... "mypet" wrote in message om... I have been doing research on baby slings and now I'm onto strollers!

And I put my 5 month old in it no problem (as well as my almost 5 yr old) I did a ton of research on the different joggers and this one was by far the best value for what you get (in my opinion) I've been totally happy with it from day 1.
