How to choose the best stroller for moms and babies who often travel by train or bus

Hello, this is Eri from the Bebichel editorial department.

A stroller is an essential item for traveling with a baby.
You want to choose something that matches your lifestyle because you use it every day for walking, shopping, picking up and dropping off at the nursery school, etc.

However, strollers are often prepared before the baby is born as a part of preparation for childbirth.
I couldn't draw a concrete image when moving with a baby in a stroller before giving birth, so after purchasing it,

"The stroller I chose didn't fit my lifestyle."
"I like the design, but I'm dissatisfied with the functionality."

There is also a case to regret.

Therefore, this time, we will introduce how to choose a stroller that is perfect for "if you often use trains and buses when traveling".

Do you fold your stroller when you take the train or bus?Doesn't it fold up?
What actually happens when you fold a stroller with a baby?

We also introduce things like this, so please take a look at it.

Do you fold your stroller when you take the train or bus?Doesn't it fold up?

Did you know that the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism has been conducting a campaign every year since 2014 to create an environment where strollers can be easily used on public transportation, etc.?

This is a campaign to "deepen mutual understanding between stroller users and the people around them", and it also aims to let everyone know that it is possible to ride on trains and buses without folding the stroller. is.

I am very grateful that this kind of announcement is coming out of the country!

(It is necessary to be careful when operating the stroller so that it does not touch other people or interfere with the passage. In the case of buses, it is necessary to secure the stroller at the designated stroller securing place according to the procedure. I have.)

However, there are times when I wish I could just fold the stroller and carry it around.

For trains,
・ I want to use the stairs because the elevator is crowded
・ I want to take an escalator because there is no elevator nearby

For buses,
・There are no places to secure strollers
・There is a step at the entrance, making it difficult to get on with a stroller.

Etc., the stroller is often folded and moved.

What are the specific steps to fold the stroller while holding the baby?

I want to fold the stroller a little while on the go, such as at the station!
In such a case, the specific steps are as follows.

① Lock the stroller wheels
② Release the seat belt of the stroller
③ Hold the baby in one hand
④ Fold the stroller with your other open hand
⑤ Engage the stroller lock

how is it?There are many steps and it is very difficult.

On the other hand, when you open the stroller while holding the baby and put it on, the procedure is as follows.

① Release the open/close lock of the stroller
② Open the stroller
③ Lock the stroller open/close
④ Check that the stroller wheels are locked
⑤ Put the baby in the stroller
⑥ Attach a seat belt to the baby
⑦ Unlock the stroller wheels

If you are not used to opening and closing the stroller, it will take a lot of time.
If you have to fold the stroller to move around, it would be helpful to have a stroller that is easy to fold and light.
