How To Save Money When Purchasing A Baby Stroller

The search for a good baby stroller for your family can be very frustrating. There are hundreds of models for sale, all with varying features, quality and price tags. Nevertheless, it is possible to find a stroller that meets your family's needs and save money at the same time.
1. Purchase a universal car seat carrier (stroller frame) instead of a travel system
This is such a convenient and inexpensive device for transporting your baby during the first six months. You simply attach the infant car seat to the frame, and away you go! Baby is undisturbed, and best of all, you have a few more months to do some research and decide what type of stroller you'd like to purchase when your child is older and you need more features.
2. Do lots of research before buying a stroller
After the first 6 months you will need a stroller that has, as a minimum, features such as a comfortable, adjustable reclining seat, a sun canopy, good-sized storage baskets and cup holders. Make a list of what features are most important to you, then do some research on the Internet to find out what is available. If you can, try out several models in stores. Don't forget that your stroller will need to last you for two or three years at the least, so take your time and choose wisely. And don't waste your money buying a stroller that has more features than you need.
3. Buy a basic umbrella stroller for short trips to the mall
After the age of 6 months, your baby will be old enough to sit comfortably in an umbrella stroller. These strollers are light, fold up easily and compactly and are very inexpensive compared to full feature strollers. This is the perfect second stroller for running quick errands with your baby, although don't plan on buying too much stuff during these outings, as the storage capacity of the basket underneath the seat is limited.
4. Look for sales
There are always lots of great deals to be had when purchasing a stroller, especially on the Internet. Online baby gear retailers need to clear out overstock, so last year's models - which usually aren't very different than the newer models - can often be purchased for a lot less. Check out what's for sale on Craigslist, eBay and also at warehouse clubs. Visiting the websites of stroller manufacturers to check out their factory sales is another good idea. Always request the model year information on a stroller you're interested in to make sure you're not getting one that has been lying in a warehouse for the past 10 years! And don't forget to keep safety in mind. Thousands of children are injured in the U.S. every year due to strollers. Make sure to choose a stroller that has the Juvenile Product Manufacturers Association (JPMA) Certification seal, and check the websites of the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) and the JPMA to make sure it hasn't been subject to a recall.
5. Sell your stroller when you're done with it
If your stroller is still in good shape when your child has outgrown it, consider consigning it at a baby gear store or selling it on eBay or on Craigslist. Good quality brands of baby strollers have a higher resale value, so this is something to keep in mind when you make your initial purchase.
Buying a baby stroller that is right for your family's lifestyle is a big decision, but by following these tips, you can save some money and have many enjoyable outings with your baby. Good strolling!
