Planning for a new baby can be difficult and one of the largest expenses of all that a couple will come up against will be purchasing the right stroller.
While many couples will end up getting a large "full featured" from family or as a shower gift, many peopledon't keep in mind that these types of delux strollers are only useful for baby's first year. After baby's first year, these oversided strollers begin to become cumbersome and problematic are their large size makes them a chore to bring anywhere.
Combo this with the fact that they leave no room in your vehicle for anything BUT the stroller and it's easy to see why many families start looking for a good umbrella stroller early on.
More recently, the classic folding lightweight stroller has seen a great many upgrades by boutique manufacturers and has come a long way in form and function. comfortable ride are now benefits that come prepackaged with newer strollers on the higher end of the price scale.
If cost is a major factor for you, then you should give a second look at today's umbrella strollers. A lot of these folding strollers can be found at cheap prices when new which means that if they receive hard use by one child, they can be disposed of and a new one can be bought for a younger sibling when they come along. This isn't
so with more expensive "travel system" strollers which tend to be kept and used by more than one infant in the family.
Most families will find that an umbrella stroller isa better choice overall for their family when weighing in all the options. You might want to go ahead and give one a try...if you decide in the end that they are not the best choice for you then there is an active market for them on both Craigslits and Ebay which means you should be able to get most if not all of your initial investment back upon resale..
