You may think that the use of your Baby Travel Strollers System can be mastered simply, but it is very easy to make mistakes in the use of these baby products.
Listed below are some of the most common mistakes and how to avoid them so that your travel strollers system doesn't become a risky problem for your infant.
1.
You treat your stroller like a shopping cart.
Some people place their shopping bags around the handles thus making the stroller top heavy and very unstable.
As most infant travel strollers come with a storage compartment underneath you should place your shopping in this area.
This will keep the weight close to the ground and give your stroller more stability.
(Be sure to check weight limits before placing items there) 2.
You fail to ensure that your stroller is fully locked into it's "open" position before strapping your infant in.
It can be easy to overlook this especially if you are in a hurry or if the stroller needs a bit of extra effort to ensure they lock securely.
Make sure you listen for the sound of the locking system clicking into place and this should avoid having to rescue your child from a collapsed stroller.
3.
You forget to buckle your infant in, even if you are just going a short distance.
You can never tell what outside influences may occur during this short distance.
(eg.
an unexpected bump) Always make sure your baby is safely strapped in.
4.
You forget to apply the brakes when stopped.
It only takes a slight incline to send your infants stroller rolling away from you.
Make sure you apply the brake every time you release the handles, even if your only stopping for a short time.
5.
You buy and use second-hand Baby Travel Strollers without checking their history.
Some strollers bought for an older child may have since been recalled because of a faulty part.
You should check with the manufacturer or the consumer product safety commission for product alerts.
Just remember safety standards are regularly reviewed so a newer model could be a safer product.
