10 elements of baby stroller purchase
Element 1: The movable joints of the stroller must be very sensitive, which is the first focus of safety. In order to make the car easy to store or transport, it is common to design movable joints with a locking function. If these movable joints are not sensitive, when the baby is still in the stroller, the frame may suddenly fold due to the failure of the movable joints, causing the baby's delicate body to be caught in the body, causing considerable damage.
Element 2, to carefully observe the main components such as the push rod and adjustment rod of the stroller, generally speaking, the diameter should be about 1-1.2 cm. If the diameter is only 0.6 cm, it may be an imitation of cutting corners, and this kind of cart can easily be broken in case of emergency, resulting in dangerous situations.
Element 3: Because purified fiber fabrics are harmful to the baby's skin, the fabric of the genuine stroller should be polyester-cotton products or cotton products. The colour fastness of such fabrics is often tested, so even if your baby wears light-coloured clothes or pees in the car, they don't have to worry about their clothes being stained in other colours. If you rub a white cloth against the fabric of the cart and find that the white cloth has been dyed a certain color, it is likely to be a poor quality imitation.
Element 4: Do not have sharp edges, sharp corners, protrusions, rivets and small parts that are easy to fall off. In addition, the gap that can be reached by the hands and feet is generally greater than 12 mm or less than 5 mm, which will not hurt the baby's hands and feet. The push rod and handrail of the trolley should be sprayed with an anti-corrosion protective layer to avoid heavy metal elements causing harm to the baby's health. It also depends on the quality of plastic parts, choose products with strong plastic toughness, bright and pure colors, and good gloss.
Element 5, to have a shock-absorbing structure, can fully absorb the shock caused by uneven road surface, to the baby's head and the whole body to maximize protection. No matter what the angle, it can keep the baby's neck in the most comfortable state and prevent damage to the brain and cervical spine. With the change of angle, there is no gap between the baby's waist and the seat, the back is stretched, and the abdomen is not compressed, which is conducive to the normal development of the baby's organs and prevents indigestion.
Element 6: The depth between the seat pocket of the stroller and the armrest should not be too shallow, so as to avoid the center of gravity shifting when the baby turns over or twists in the car, resulting in a rollover accident. The depression of the car mat should be less than 5 cm to avoid excessive depression affecting the growth and development of the baby's spine and bones.
Element 7, should check whether the opening of the trolley is convenient, whether the caster rotation is flexible, and the caster should be more than 5. The brake device is one of the necessary safety equipment for the stroller, because the mother may not always stay next to the car when the car is stopped. If you park on the slope and Mommy can't hold the frame, the car will slide and overturn at any time, which will cause great danger to the baby. In addition, the stroller with a folding function should be equipped with a locking safety device to avoid accidental folding of the stroller in use, resulting in injury to the baby.
Element 8, when purchasing a baby stroller, first of all, check whether the product's certificate, quality assurance certificate, warranty card, instruction manual and other documents are complete, and whether there are anti-counterfeiting marks. It is best to buy it in a regular mall. If parents still have doubts about the product, they can ask the manufacturer to provide the address of the testing agency of the product so that they can obtain the relevant test certificate.
Element 9, when buying a baby stroller, consider the baby's age of the month. Under 8 months of age, it is suitable to use a "cot-style" stroller, which can be folded and unfolded like a crib with a sunshade. Under 1 year old, you should choose a dual-purpose stroller that can sleep and sit at the same time. There should be a canopy on the top of the car to avoid dust and direct sunlight to the eyes. 1-3 years old should choose a stroller based on sitting, and when going out to the park and walking, you can sit and push the cart to learn to walk. At home, I still learn to eat at the table and chair.
Element 10, many parents want the cart to have a variety of additional functions when buying, and feel that this is the best value for money, but this shopping concept is not suitable. This is because the more products are assembled with each other or share parts, the more problems may occur, especially the safety of a single use state will be reduced. Therefore, when choosing a product with multiple functions, it is absolutely necessary to consider whether it meets safety standards, and you must be cautious.
