Besides, it shouldn't be too hard because sometimes you may have your baby in your arms and or drag the stroller or wear.It shouldn't be too bulky so you easily in buses, trains and restaurants. Number of children in the home can mean a transport stroller offers the most protection to a baby, but it will hardly be the last for the first year before your child you body.If you decide to buy it, keep in mind that you need to buy another stroller later. If you have two young children close in age with each other, then you might consider buying a double seat stroller.You can use a low-budget stroller for your older child and another for your younger baby who is bigger and has an adjustable seat.For twins or triplets consider tandem or side-by-side hikers, especially if you're going to be walking alone with the babies.
