The Basic Umbrella Stroller

The concept behind the umbrella stroller, is having a very light weight stroller that is easy to fold and can be stored almost anywhere.  The umbrella stroller is known for its handles that are generally shaped like the end of an umbrella.

Many companies produce the umbrella stroller for parents and these are fairly easy to locate either in stores that carry baby items, or even on-line.  Some well known companies include Graco, Cosco, Kolcraft and Chicco.  There are many other companies that make these much desired strollers, and reviews can be seen on-line.  Talk to friends and family members too to discover which models worked best for them.

Bells and Whistles

These strollers differ as to what accessories are included with them.  Some have the capability to change the seat position, while others rely on one position.  Sometimes, newborns have a hard time in an umbrella stroller as they are unable to sit upright and be held in proper position.  Consider that when looking at such strollers.  Also look at the type of harness system that is used to secure the baby into the stroller.  Make sure it will work for your baby, and is easy to use.  Most use either a three point system or five points.  Evaluate both to determine what works best.

Some of these types of strollers also feature things like a bar that can have a tray attached so the baby has a place for toys or snacks.  Some even come with a cup holder for the baby.  There are sometimes even toys that can be directly attached to the bar.  

Check out the height of the handle on the umbrella stroller too.  Some of them have extended lengths for taller parents, while others are very low.  Think about your own comfort level when pushing an umbrella stroller and the height of the handle.
