Today I’m going to talk about Eddie Bauer baby strollers.

Eddie Bauer isn’t one of the most popular makes of baby stroller, so don’t worry if you haven’t heard of them before. Baby strollers aren’t their main product.

I only know of a few strollers they make. One of them is the “Eddie Bauer All Terrain Tandem” and the other is the “Eddie Bauer Vector Sport” stroller.

We’ll talk about the all terrain tandem first.

Okay, where shall we start? This baby stroller costs around $180. It’s one of the strollers around that still has a three point harness system, instead of a 5 point harness system. (If you’ve read some of my other posts, you probably already know that I think 5-point harnesses are much safer and secure for your child).

This isn’t a particularly lightweight stroller either. It’s around 50 lbs, which is pretty have for a stroller. The product descriptions all say it’s easy to manoeuvre (but they all say that, don’t they?) however, from people who I’ve talked to who has tried one of these out, this stroller is anything but.

How about storage? The eddie bauer stroller has a removable front tray which a juice box holder. It also has a bottle bag on the canopy. There’s one more tray which is on the handle. It doesn’t have any large storage area for storing anything that’s a bit more sizeable.

Also, it seems the front foot rest isn’t adjustable… which kind of defeats the whole purpose of having it if your child isn’t the “perfect” size required by this stroller. It won’t be long until your child grows a bit larger, and his or her ankles will be hitting the foot rest.

So, as you can tell, this isn’t really a stroller I recommend. For the money, you can get a much better stroller made by another company. Maybe a Graco, a Maclaren, a Chicco, or pretty much any of the leading brands have better strollers in this price range.

The other Eddie Bauer stroller I’d like to talk about is the Vector Sport baby stroller.

This is only $70 when I last checked, although maybe it was in a sale. This is a basic titanium lightweight stroller. It has a 5 point harness, which is what you need. It has an adjustable canopy (adjustable to three different positions I think). It’s designed like a three wheel model, but with four wheels, the two front ones being very close together.

To be honest… I don’t know anything more I can say for this stroller, because there are just better one’s out there made by different companies. Now obviously this is just my opinion. Maybe some people like Eddier Bauer strollers, but if you were to ask for my opinion… I would say keep away from them. They don’t have many features, they aren’t easy to move, and they lack in many of the areas that other strollers cater for very well.

Anyway, I hope this has helped shed some light on Eddie Bauer strollers. I hope my opinions haven’t come across as too harsh. Save your money, and buy a better stroller.

See you soon.

Today I’m going to talk about another good brand of baby stroller called Maclaren.

One of the most popular baby strollers made my Maclaren is the Maclaren Volo Stroller. These aren’t too expensive, at around $110 the last time I checked.

The Maclaren Volo’s are lightweight strollers. The chassis, which makes up a large part of the stroller (after all, there isn’t really much to this stroller) weighs only 8.6 lbs. It has the bare basic features of an adjustable 5-point harness (you really need a 5-point harness to make sure your baby is safe, 3 point harnesses are becoming rarer these days).

And like all good lightweight strollers, the Maclaren Volo is easy and quick to fold. You can even carry it on your shoulder, with the strap that’s provided.

This stroller really does fold up quite small, so it’s perfect for throwing into your car trunk (or even the back seat if you don’t have room in your trunk… that’s how small it folds up).

Another popular model of Maclaren stroller is the Maclaren Quest Sport stroller. This stroller is also classed as a lightweight stroller, but it has a few extra features. It also costs a bit more, at $200.

One of its most useful extra features is the leg rest that can give your baby a little boost to keep him or her comfortable due to the extra support.

Something you need to know about this stroller is that its appropriate for babies of 3 months and up to 55lbs.

A nice feature of this stroller is how easy it is to move. It really does perform very well when it comes to manoeuvrability. But I think the wheels could be a little better. But it won’t really be a problem if you stick to sidewalks, although it may have a little trouble with slighter rougher terrain.

The last type of stroller made by Maclaren that I want to talk about today is the Maclaren Techno. This is a little more price at $300. You can also get in “twin stroller” form, for around $60 extra.

This is another lightweight stroller by Maclaren. It weighs only 14.5lbs, but it packs a lot more features than the other two. The first extra feature is the seats ability to recline back pretty much all the way (something like 140 degrees). Which is this useful? Simply because it makes this stroller suitable for newborns as well.

It also has a large mesh undercarriage storage basket which is great for keeping things in. It also has a plastic rain cover, which is useful… and now always found on lightweight strollers.
Okay, that’s about it for the Maclaren baby strollers. I hope you found this useful… and good luck in your hunt for a baby stroller.

Today I’m going to talk about a popular manufacturer of baby strollers, Peg Perego.

Peg Perego make middle range to top of the line baby strollers. The prices range from around $150 to over $300.

One of their popular (and more expensive strollers) is the “Peg Perego P3 Ultimate All-Around Stroller”. This is a single, lightweight stroller. Some of its key features include a 5 point harness (which is becoming the norm these days), a retractable car seat which can also attach on to a Primo Viaggio car seat (although you need to buy one of those separately to do this). But if you do buy one separately, it makes it very easy to move your baby from stroller to car seat.

You get the feeling that the Peg Perego stroller was build for ease of use in mind. For example, the front bumper and child tray are easily removed (and opened) with just a touch of a button. The handles are very comfortable to hold, and easily adjustable. You even get your own cup holder!

Another good feature of the Peg Perego stroller is its looks. I admit this isn’t one of the most important features of a baby stroller, but it does look good. It’s Italian designed, and has an obvious fashion sense to it. You won’t be embarrassed to push this baby stroller around town. And your baby will look very cute in it!

Another popular baby stroller made by Peg Perego is the “Pliko Lite”. This model is around $230, and as you may be able to tell from the name, one of it’s main features is that it’s a lightweight stroller.

This is a much simpler stroller than the “ultimate” one. But this is always the case with a lightweight stroller. But one of the good things about this stroller is that it doesn’t sacrifice key features. For example, it still has a useful canopy, a storage compartment (which is in the canopy), and a cup holder.

This stroller (like all the Peg Perego’s) has sturdy wheels as well, which is great for slightly rougher terrain. Although this isn’t really an off-road stroller.

In the end, the Pliko Lite is a very good lightweight stroller. It has jnust enough features to make it useful, but not so much that it becomes a standard stroller rather than a lightweight stroller.

Anyway, that’s all I’ve got time for today. There’s still a few more Peg Perego strollers worth talking about, so I’ll cover them soon hopefully.

I hope this was useful to you. See you soon!

Graco are a very popular brand of baby stroller. Not only do they make baby strollers, but they also make other travel systems such as baby car seats, but I’m just going to talk about their baby strollers today.

Graco make a few double strollers, and this is what I’ll talk about today. One of Graco’s most popular double strollers is the “graco duo glider stroller”. These cost around $130 online.

Some of the features you first notice about this stroller is its very large storage basket, which comes in very handy. It also has trays in front of the seats, so your child can put things there. It even has cupholders.

The rear seat is also slightly elevated, so the child in the rear can still see where you’re going. It’s the little touches like this that show Graco have thought out the design of their strollers.

The stroller’s removable seats pads are quite easy to clean. You simply remove them and wash them in cold water. You need to wash them on a delicate cycle however, and they need to be drip dried.

Okay, so that’s the standard features of this Graco stroller. But what’s it like to use? One of the main benefits of getting a quality brand name stroller like Graco, is how it performs.

The wheels on this stroller are very study, and they can take you anywhere… through dirt, gravel or mud, this stroller can probably handle it. It’s also very durable, and is more than likely to outlast the amount of time you’ll be needing it (because you’re kids will grow up faster than you think!)

If you’re not looking for a double stroller… then Graco also offer some other strollesr you might like to consider. One of these is the Graco Giselle Mosaic Stroller. This is also around $130 (the last time I checked) and is a very high quality baby stroller.

One of the best features of these stroller is the fact that it is quite lightweight, so it isn’t too tiring to push around for long periods of time. But many owners find that it’s not so lightweight that it doesn’t feel “sturdy”. (If you’ve used a lightweight stroller before, I’m sure you know what I mean).

And the last stroller I will recommend to you today is the Graco Samba European Quattro Tour Stroller. This is another one baby stroller, and it’s slightly more expensive… but more features. This Graco baby stroller is around $175.

Firstly, this is a “deluxe” kind of stroller. It’s made from good quality materials, and it’s very safe and stable.

The storage baskets are very large, and have more than enough room to put any blankets, diaper bags or spare clothing you want to take out with you.

It also has a large canopy, which can protect your child from the sun at almost any angle.

And it’s also a very stylish looking baby stroller! You will love pushing this stroller around town.

Anyway, that’s all for today. Hopefully over the next few days and weeks I’ll have time to recommend some strollers made by other brands, as Graco certainly isn’t the only brand for you to consider when buying a new stroller.

See you soon!
