stroller for Indian conditions

kirukiri · Oct 12, 2010

hi all,

Please advice: what kind of stroller is better suited for Indian conditions?

We plan to travel with little E, so it seems that a stroller will be useful. I travel in car, bus, auto, train, plane. Would love to have a stroller that is safe and can be easily carried.

This is what I learned from some readings:
Umbrella stroller, though not very sturdy, are more useful for babies who can withstand the bumps and hold themselves.
They are compact and easy to travel with.
A regular stroller is not that compact, but sturdy. Can be used from birth.

Now, which one you ladies will suggest?

all depends on how old your baby is... for babies who can sit well, u can directly go for a good umbrella stroller.... if not, u might want a padded pram.
we got a pram from lifestyle, under the brand Juniors
