Baby Transport – Prams, Strollers and Buggies

I was told by a shop assistant at a baby store today that jogging with your baby is frowned upon due to the possibility of Shaken Baby Syndrome occuring. This is why it’s hard to find three-wheelers designed for runners in Australia according to her. I’d like to find out more about this but haven’t come across too much information as yet. Is there a high risk of causing SBS if you take your one year old jogging on bitumen or hiking on unsealed tracks?

Jogging strollers do not cause shaken baby syndrome. You shouldn’t use them if your baby does not have enough head and neck strength,which is why most companies say not to use them until after 6 months.

With its relaxed smooth geometry and front swivel wheel the new Tike Tech CityX3 offers both luxury and high performance all in one.
The lightweight oval shaped frame with dual rear suspension creates a totally snappy ride. With many child friendly features including infant car seat and bassinet compatibility the new CityX3 is a radically responsive stroller and a delight to push.

The Natural Baby Shop, is located in the heart of Kelowna’s downtown Arts and Cultural District.
We carry a diverse range of top quality clothing and baby accessories.

I have a wonderfully cute baby trend flex loc car seat and i am curious as to what strollers accept this car seat?

I had the Baby Trend Snap N Go stroller and LOVED it! It is so light-weight and easy to use. It also has cup holders for me and a large storage basket. Its fairly cheap (look for at a second hand baby store or Craigslist)! I used mine about about 10 months before my daughter out-grew her infant carrier.

I couldn’t decide on a stroller before I had my baby so I went with this one. It was perfect because it let me figure out what my stroller needs really were (not having had a baby before) and then I could buy the stroller that would last me for the next few years. I ended up getting a Graco Metrolite after the Snap N Go and loved it!

And not too expensive? I’ve looked online for strollers but I can’t find any where the baby faces you and Im dont know if they have a specific name or anything! Thanks!

the bugaboo is the expesive one….cheaper alternative is the fisher price infant to toddler stroller.

-They do take up a lot of room
-Or people are using strollers that are huge
-Should cities just ban strollers from Public Buses
My Suggestion…buy a car!

Do you really think it is fun for the parent having to cart around a stroller on public transportation? What do you suggest they do instead?

I know a lot of people are using the convertible units (even though I don’t really know what they are)? I know I can purchase the stroller and car seat apart – but can I purchase them together – do they detatch and hook into one another? Are they worth buying? I am confused about all the different options. Please help.

Yes, they hook into each other such as this:

There are infant carseat (like the one pictured) and convertible carseats like this one:

Convertible carseats are more upright and are bigger. Whereas infant carseats are smaller and made more for newborns/infants who don’t yet have neck or back support. Convertible carseats can be used for infants, but normally are used for toddlers about 1+ years.

Travel systems (the stroller and carseat together) are very handy. They offer more support for an infant and allow the baby to face you. Not to mention, they are normally cheaper than buying both items separate.
