Baby Strollers and Carriers for New ParentsJust about to have your first baby? Congratulations!!! You are about to embark on one of
greatest moments in Life. I remember having our first child. What a fantastic experience. The fun of
anticipation leading up to
birth was like Christmas eve for a four year old!
The part of having you baby that can be a bit overwhelming is
preparation period. Especially for first time parents. You have
nursery to decorate, a crib to buy, clothes, formula, bottles, bottle sterilizers, bibs, diapers, a diaper Genie, bouncers, toys, blankets, and of course a carrier and stroller so you can actually leave home again! Whew!!!!
I'm just going to focus on strollers and carriers because without them, you are just about stuck at home for 3 years.

With out first child, we wanted everything to be perfect. (Since then, I have discovered that we were not alone). So when shopping for that first stroller, we had little experience at what was a good choice. Our shopping methods revolved around safety and comfort for
baby (which is important). We looked at a lot of strollers and eventually purchased
"Cadillac" stroller that had a long sturdy frame, extra soft wheels (for added comfort) and a seat that looked like a miniature Lazy Boy recliner!
It had a ton of extras! unfortunately for us, we didn't think past
stroller itself.Things like... one of us would actually have to lift this heavy thing out of
trunk and unfold it and its many components EVERY time we went out with
baby! The thing must have weighted sixty pounds!
The other half of
formula we missed was
fact that every time we went some where, we had to unbuckle junior from
car seat (a five point harness mind you) and carefully and gently lift him from car seat firmly fastened in
back seat and place him gingerly in
stroller seat, then buckle him in there. Only to return from a fifteen minute stroll through
drug store to go through this routine once again! Let's hope it wasn't raining!!!
After about four months of this self inflicted, back straining, time consuming regimen, we both agreed that we needed a more practical, but still comfortable stroller.
