Which stroller should you buy?

Which stroller is best suited for you, you will find by analyzing your needs. Would you like to jog, for example, with your child? Then, the stroller should be ideally suited for uneven ground. In addition, three instead of four wheels are best suited for joggers. Or you want to take the stroller especially when you travel, then it should be folded well fit into the trunk so that you do not have space for extra luggage. What is the size of the stroller is folded together.

Do you live in the countryside or in the city?

If you live in the country, then you should forgo a buggy. This is generally not suitable for dirt roads and gravel. A stroller with large rear and smaller front tire tires is then the best solution for you. This can be quickly transformed into a stroller and is also suitable for a rural base. If you live in the city you should put more on agility, to come with the stroller through narrow passages in the stores.
