What are the classifications of strollers?

Abstract: What are the classifications of strollers? What is the applicable age of stroller? Baby stroller is a kind of tool cart designed to provide convenience for outdoor activities of babies. There are various models. The stroller is the baby's favorite means of transportation, and it is also necessary for mothers to take their babies shopping. However, according to the baby's growth and use, strollers can be divided into many types. The classification of stroller is also related to the structure of stroller, such as awning, seat cushion, chair back, handle, hand closure, skeleton, seat belt, basket and so on. Let's take a closer look. Types of strollers What are the types of strollers and how old are they?

First, the basic classification of baby trolleys

Baby carriages, which originated in Europe, have a history of more than 300 years, but only appeared in China for more than ten years. Now China has become the world's largest producer of baby strollers, and some foreign models that are banned due to substandard safety are flooding the domestic market, threatening the safety of babies at any time. At present, trolleys on the market can be roughly divided into luxury models (full-lying and semi-lying) suitable for general household use and long-term outdoor use, and portable models (also known as umbrella cars) that emphasize light weight and are suitable for frequent outdoor use. Another tricycle, specially used outdoors, has large tires (such as pneumatic bicycle tires) and can push the baby to run.

Second, the applicable age of the stroller?

The baby can't sit still for six months, so it's more appropriate to sit and lie down. It is more appropriate to wait until the baby is six months old. A cart can be used for about two years, mainly depending on the load. The general test standard is nine to fifteen kilograms. However, some parents will still let older children push carts, and pay more attention to safety. General unicycle can be used for about four to five years. If it is not damaged after use, it can also be given to the babies of relatives and friends. Proper maintenance and proper use can ensure that the stroller can be used safely by the second child.

Iii. Precautions for the use of strollers

awning

For babies, it is one of the conditions of luggage case to have a sunshade that can prevent wind and rain. The size of the awning is related to the sunshade range and windproof function.

In addition, there is a specially designed parasol, which can be fixed on the frame and has all-round and high-level functions. The advantage is that you can master the direction of sunshine and have better ventilation. Some awnings also have the function of preventing ultraviolet rays, which can be listed as your reference.

Mom's Note: Generally, the awning can be detached or hung to the back of the car, or the towel can lean against the back of the chair when not in use, but remember that there should be a transparent design with windows on the awning so as to visit the baby at any time.

Seat washer

The cushion can be said to be the closest place to the baby. According to the size or folding mode of the stroller, the design will be different and tailored. Generally speaking, the two-purpose vehicle is spacious and thick; However, some portable umbrella car cushions are spacious and thick; However, some portable parachutes are usually supported by a single layer of cloth because of their light weight requirements.

In addition, it should be noted that the downward pressure of the cushion should not be too deep, that is, the supporting force should be sufficient, otherwise the baby will be uncomfortable to sit up. In addition, in order to protect the young head, you can choose to design a soft head pad.

back of a chair

The chair back can be divided into adjustable and fixed angles; Dual-purpose platform can be adjusted to lie flat, especially for babies under one year old. In addition, the stroller design can only lie down, which is more suitable for the baby to rest for a short time.

Usually, because of the complex structure, large volume and heavy weight, aluminum alloy frame is suitable for sitting and lying carts. The umbrella car emphasizes portability, and the adjustment of the back of the chair is usually fixed or the adjustment angle is small.

Mom, be careful: the backrest design of the stroller should conform to the ergonomic design, and choose the backrest design with longitudinal stitching to protect the baby's immature neck and back.

A handle/bracket/handle

Can be divided into directional and bidirectional; Because the two-way handle can be reversed and can face the baby, it is usually more suitable for newborns. In addition, there are handles with adjustable height, which are designed for different heights.

Mom's Note: Be careful not to hang other items on the handle when using, so as not to disturb the center of gravity and hurt the baby.

fold

At present, the baby strollers on the market can be divided into three categories.

1, traditional folding, standing after folding back and forth, usually a dual-purpose stroller, which is square after folding.

2. Fold left and right and then fold up and down, usually an umbrella car. After folding, it is slender and small. The disadvantage is that it usually doesn't hold water.

3. Fold back and forth, then fold left and right. After folding, it is the right size and can be carried on your shoulders. It is a popular design at present, but the disadvantage is that the frame is unstable, so we should pay more attention to the uneven road surface when using it.

Mom, be careful: as far as safety is concerned, the folding structure in the stroller is a very important part. If the folding structure suddenly fails, there will be many safety hazards, which will definitely hurt the baby. Therefore, in view of this, the testing of this structure in all countries is quite rigorous, and one of the most important points is the setting of the second safety lock, that is, when the normal device fails improperly, there is still no danger of complete folding.

skeleton

If the stroller frame is made of iron pipe, it is generally heavy; Aluminum tubes are lighter in weight.

Mom, be careful: for convenience, some people will choose a lighter cart, but you must pay attention to whether the cart has the qualified label of the commodity inspection bureau, and don't blindly pursue light weight. If the frame is unstable and dangerous, it will not be worth the candle.

Seat belt

Any stroller has a seat belt design to protect the baby from falling out of the car because of tampering.

Front guardrail

This function is to prevent the baby from falling, but it is best to choose a detachable design when buying, which is not only convenient for changing diapers, but also can remove the guardrail when the child is older to prevent the seat space from being too small.

Storage basket

Usually designed under the cart, it is convenient to put bottles and diapers when going out.

resist the impact

Generally speaking, strollers spend most of their time outdoors. However, the road surface is sometimes flat and sometimes bumpy. Although foam or resin cotton is usually added to the baby seat cushion to improve the comfort of the baby, the soft seat cushion can no longer provide comfort when encountering uneven road surface. Therefore, ordinary strollers are equipped with shock absorption function to cope with bumpy roads. Shockproof devices are usually equipped with front wheel sets or rear wheel sets. When picking, you can put the car on the ground and gently press the elasticity of the frame during the test.

brake apparatus

When the stroller stops, the operator may not stay beside it all the time, but when the stroller stops on an inclined terrain and the operator can't hold the frame, the stroller will slide over at any time, which is likely to cause great danger to the baby. That is, for this reason, the brake device is one of the necessary safety devices for baby carriages, and the common brake device for baby carriages has the function of slowing down.

Mom, attention: when choosing, put the mirror frame on the ground, press the brake lever to form a stop state, and pull it back with a little push to see if the brake lever will jump or slip easily. In addition, the brake part of the stroller must be marked with bright colors to avoid stepping on it by mistake.

Height adjusting device

This device is mainly aimed at operators of different heights. In order to consider the comfort of the operator when pushing, a height adjustable device is added at the position of the hand push rod. This device can be divided into bending type and telescopic type, which can be selected according to different preferences.

Various baby carriage accessories

Can be selected according to usage habits or local climate conditions.

A, plates

Can be installed in front of the seat, can put tableware or directly put it in retail.

On the tray

Can provide drinks or small items for the operator.

C, foot cover

When used outdoors in cold areas, it can keep the baby warm.

D, rain cover
