Selecting the perfect stroller is one of the most significant purchases for new parents, and it’s crucial to get it right the first time. Many parents often find themselves bored with their initial choice or regret not choosing one that better fits their needs. Since upgrading later can be expensive, it’s wise to thoroughly research and make an informed decision initially.
The main factors to keep in mind are your lifestyle and whether the stroller or pram suits you for the long haul. For city living, a lightweight, foldable travel system or a compact stroller suitable from birth is ideal. However, if you’ll frequently encounter off-road paths, a stroller with excellent suspension and durable, puncture-resistant wheels is essential. Don’t forget to check that it fits in your car trunk! Here’s a guide to finding a pram or stroller that aligns with your style preferences.
Choose Your Color
Select a shade that complements your personal wardrobe rather than your baby’s. While a bright pink stroller might appeal initially, it’s you who will be pushing it. Darker colors like black, grey, and navy are practical for hiding spills and dirt, but there are plenty of stylish colors and prints available if you enjoy adding color. Luxury brands like JUNIORJONES offer unique shades such as ‘Bombay Rust’ and ‘Persian Red’. Keep an eye out for limited-edition collaborations, where brands team up with fashion designers to produce distinctive looks.
Design Details
Examine the fabric, stitching, and overall finish before making a purchase. High-quality stroller designs combine comfort with functionality, and superior craftsmanship should be evident. Leatherette trims are currently popular, along with a variety of fabric options, from herringbone tweed to sporty mesh. For those who favor minimal design, sleek models like the JUNIORJONES J-CARBON—crafted from durable carbon fiber for both elegance and durability—are excellent options. The J-SPIRIT model also offers stylish features at a more accessible price.
Personalize It
Customization can make your stroller uniquely yours. Look for brands with a variety of coordinating accessories or customization options, like the fully customizable J-CARBON by JUNIORJONES, where an online configurator lets you select wheels, back panels, fabrics, and bumper bars. Accessories are a great way to refresh your stroller’s look without buying a new frame—consider adding a colorful seat liner, a pram toy, or a stylish new diaper bag.
