Unlike cars, retailers don’t always allow parents to take strollers on test drives. However, it’s highly recommended to test a stroller before buying one. If you can’t do the test drive yourself, you can check out a virtual test drive, usually available on the manufacturer’s website. You can also search online for test drive videos other buyers may have posted. Check these out before making your purchase. 

Babies are not the only ones who need to feel comfortable inside strollers. Parents need to feel comfortable walking with the stroller too. This means making sure that the stroller is at a comfortable height for the parent. It should also have proper handle height and a solid grip. The parent’s feet should not hit the stroller’s wheels when walking. The stroller should be very responsive and manoeuvrable as well. You should also check things like how easy the backseat and the handles are to adjust. If you need to carry a bag, a purse, or other gear, make sure the stroller has room for storage. Also, make sure the stroller comes with a good warranty and a returns policy when you make you purchase.
