How to choose a stroller-transformer

When choosing pay attention to the following points:

• on what floor you live;
• whether it is possible to leave it in the stairwell;
• whether there is an elevator in the house;
• frame material. For solid models include transformers, made of steel. Plastic - not the best decision to buy;
• the size of the wheelbase. Vysokogabaritnye wheels are not afraid of dirt and low quality of the roadway. small wheels bogged down in the mud, afraid of strong shaky, creaking and become loose. Before going to the store measure the width of the doorway in the lift and in their own home, compared with the size of the width of the wheelbase wheelchair;
• wheel material. The rubber wheels are considered a viable option for use in summer. They have excellent shock absorption, so they roll smoothly, and the child does not feel discomfort. In winter, they get bogged down in the snow, but the plastic wheels move easily. On the possibility of replacing the wheels is better to ask the sales assistant;

Minuses

Failure of the wheel
Load when driving is at the wheel, they are constantly in contact with the asphalt surface, so they often deteriorate and wear out. Current models of children's vehicles are equipped with dual wheels.

This is done to facilitate the management of transport and turning it in both directions. The kid, meanwhile, can sleep peacefully. Swivel function is assigned to the front wheels, and they often fail.

There were complaints that between the wheel pairs often gets the stone, rubble which can disrupt their mobility or balance. Thus, it is difficult to control the transport, since the wheels will not go parallel to each other.

In practice, this is the reason that the wheels are "loose" or during the rotation are unmanaged and do not listen to you. In order not to encounter with these earlier forms of damage, be sure to explore the area where you will use the stroller, in Vol. H. to "cross country": the back roads near the location where the repair work or completely outside of the sidewalk.

Another common problem with wheels - unbalance. In qualitative models do not. As preventive measures imbalance constantly and carefully inspect wheels, and if there is the slightest doubt, contact a repair center.

A pen
Despite the fact that the handle is considered the most stable part, practice, and numerous cases of damage proves handle is also very easily damaged. The reason is that typically use wheelchairs too aggressively, and for such a large mass transport.

If you can not imagine how not to rock the baby in his truck, trying to succeed in all and in all cases take with a baby in a stroller, try to take good care of the handle.

It affects the frequency of breakdowns and the brand: substandard plastic handles can rapidly deteriorate and fail, causing you a lot of inconvenience. Then play a cruel joke even abrupt change in the weather on the street, when all the time the plastic shrinks and expands, which can provoke damage it.

frame
This type of failure is not as common: the reason is that the stroller is used for other purposes if vehicles intended for the baby, and in a wheelchair sits year-old child weighing 10 kg, the frame is likely to It will break.

In addition, experts do not recommend parents overly load the pram: Most moms use the children's "transport" for the trip to the shops or malls. It is comfortable, but not justified in all cases for operation of all wheelchair parts - from the abundance of products is, most likely, will soon fail.

other details
With a removable rain cover, the elements of the tissues and other small accessories deteriorate over time. Mothers complain that raincoat torn, and acquire better new. Removable parts from the fabric is easy to clean.

From a certain age kids is interesting to consider the world around us, a child can tear off and stain the tissue elements strollers. That's life, do not abuse my child, distract his attention from the vehicle and switch on toys for kids.
