Baby Strollers

Explore Baby Strollers at Mothercare Bahrain

A baby stroller is the seat-on-wheels you'll reach for once your little one can sit up and take in the world, usually from around six months. The seat sits upright so they can see out, and most recline for naps on the move, which makes a stroller the everyday workhorse from the baby months right through toddlerhood.

Where strollers really differ is in how they fold and travel. A travel stroller, sometimes called a cabin stroller, folds down small and light, and a cabin approved stroller is made to fit within airline cabin-bag sizes so it can come with you rather than go in the hold. A lightweight stroller is the easy pick for everyday walking and public transport, while sturdier models handle rougher pavements and longer days out. If your baby is still a newborn, a lie-flat pram or a travel system is the safer starting point, and you can round things off with accessories like rain covers and footmuffs.

Types of Baby Strollers

Most strollers fall into a few groups. Everyday strollers balance comfort and fold for daily use. Travel and cabin strollers put the emphasis on a small, light fold for flights and car boots. Lightweight strollers strip things back for easy one-hand steering and lifting. And all-terrain or three-wheel strollers add bigger wheels and suspension for parks, kerbs and rougher ground. Creating a stroller features list makes the rest of the choice much simpler.

How to Choose a Baby Stroller

Start with fit and stage: your baby should be able to sit up before using the seat upright, and if you want a stroller from birth, look for one that reclines fully flat or takes a newborn carrycot. After that it's about your day. Check the folded size against your car boot, lift it to feel the weight, and if you fly often, look for cabin approved dimensions. A one-hand fold, a decent recline and a sun canopy are the details you'll be grateful for most.
