Gone are the days that a stroller was just a stroller. Today, jogging strollers are extremely popular among the active parent who likes to combine a leisurely jog while taking their little one along for the ride. Designed to be used by either men or women, the jogging stroller was first introduced in the 1980’s and has steadily grown in popularity since then.

If you are considering the purchase of a jogging stroller, you can expect to pay anywhere from $100.00 to $300.00 depending on the quality and features of the unit. All jogging strollers require a 16″ fixed front wheel, which provides the jogger with additional control over uneven areas and/or bumps on their route. In addition, it allows for greater ease when traveling over curbs and other similar surfaces. Jogging strollers also feature a built-in shock to help promote a smoother ride for both your child’s body and your own. A taller parent will enjoy the benefits of selecting a jogging stroller with an adjustable handlebar. Some children, especially those that are still young and require head support, will need to have a stroller that features a reclining seat.

When you are getting ready for the new baby to arrive, you already know that you need to buy an infant carrier before you head to the hospital. There are so many different infant car seats out there to choose from, so how do you narrow it down? When you are shopping for an infant car seat, you need to consider spending the extra money and get a stroller/car seat combo.

These combos come with an infant car seat as well as a nice, larger stroller that lays flat for infants. While they might seem big and bulky or too expensive, they are truly something that you should have when you are bringing home a new baby.

Most parents go out and get that huge, expensive stroller that has everything a baby could possibly need on it. While this isn’t a bad thing, sometimes it just isn’t the best thing to haul around with you everywhere. The majority of these bigger strollers are just too bulky and don’t open easy enough when you have screaming kids you are trying to control in a crowded parking lot. So what do you do?

You buy an umbrella stroller to keep in the car, that’s what! These strollers are lightweight, cheap, and open with just the flick of your arm. Sure, they don’t have four cup holders, and sure, they don’t have a shopping cart underneath; but if you are in a hurry they can be a lifesaver.

Spice up your baby shower with some fun baby-themed games! A few games can make the celebration you throw for your baby fun and exciting. Games add a little zip to any gathering, and they help the attendees to get acquainted and feel at ease with each other. Here are a few examples of games you can play:

THE NAME GAME

Have your guests pick out two names for the baby. Ask them each to write the names they picked on a piece of paper (and tell them not to tell anyone else what the names are). Then tell them to try to come up with as many words possible using just the letters from those two names. Words should be of three letters or more in length. They need to come up with as many words from these names as possible. Give the guests a few minutes of time to complete this task.
