Buying the Perfect Stroller

When it comes to baby strollers the one that will suit you best will very much be dictated by your current lifestyle. If you are a very active and sport oriented person then the assumption is that you will go back to that lifestyle on some level when baby comes along. Maybe you want to take up a more active life now that you have a wee one to consider. Whatever you need there is a stroller out there for you.

For the more active and sporty a jogger style stroller may be the right choice. If you take your running seriously you can still take your little one along for the ride. Buying a jogger style stroller will get you a robust and hard wearing stroller with a choice of fixed or swivel front wheel.

Whether you pick fixed wheel or swivel wheel depends on what you are going to do with it and where you are going to use it. A fixed wheel will track straight and is favored by the more serious runners where a swivel wheel makes the stroller turn more easily. A fixed wheel will track across sand and snow more easily whereas a swivel wheel will get stuck.

If you find yourself with a need for a double stroller then again you have a choice. A side-by-side model can be practical for being able to keep a close eyes on those little treasures but can prove to be cumbersome as you try and negotiate the aisles in stores and in some cases the doorways to the stores. A tandem stroller puts one child in front of the other, which means that one is further away from you as you walk. The advantage of this style is that it is really no wider that a single stroller and is therefore more able to get through those shopping crowds, aisles and doorways.

When it comes to being able to fold your stroller for transport or storage then you should consider carefully what space you have available. If you have a small trunk in your car then opting for an umbrella folding style should give you the best options for being able to fit the stroller in. If space is not an issue then a stroller that simply folds flat could be a consideration.

The trend in wheels is aluminium alloys and many of the strollers available come with these as standard. These wheels will not rust and they are about 1lb lighter than their steel counterparts. If you do opt for steel this will mean a lower stroller price but higher maintenance. Hint; if you have steel wheels and live in a salty area be sure to rinse any salt residue off your wheel after each trip out.

Baby Einstein - Baby Van Gogh - World of Colors

The Baby Einstein Company's "video board books" were designed as music-focused developmental tools to stimulate babies' brains (prompted by research proving that exposure to classical melodies can improve verbal ability, spatial intelligence, creativity, and memory in youngsters). Now the company is expanding into other art forms, including color and art. The idea remains the same--taking bold, beautiful objects (toys, puppets, nature scenes) and setting them to fun renditions of classical music (their recordings are easily the best in the crowded field of child development). A new puppet--Vincent Van Goat--introduces the six primary colors and associates them with Van Gogh's paintings--"The Starry Night" for blue, "Wheat Fields with Reaper" for yellow. The only misstep is the poetry written and read by creator Julie Aigner-Clark, which is strongly reminiscent of Dr. Seuss's My Many Colored Days.

The company suggests the program is for toddlers between the ages of 1 and 4. Harsh sounds between segments--such as balloons popping and tires screeching--will draw the attention of youngsters but will probably render the video inappropriate for babes in arms. The video can be purchased by itself or with a beautifully produced 28-page book featuring Van Gogh's paintings, screen shots from the video, and Clark's poems. The combination set may be the best way to engage 3- and 4-year-olds' interest; they can follow along in the text while watching the video. Music includes "The William Tell Overture," "The Blue Danube," "Bolero," and Brahms's "Lullaby." The video also provides information on the cool toys seen in the ending "Toy Chest" segment. --Doug Thomas

Baby Einstein - Baby Da Vinci - From Head to Toe

Expressive faces and the exploration of arms, legs, and other body parts simply fascinate babies and toddlers. From Head to Toe focuses in on eyes, ears, hands, and other appendages with rapidly changing, close-up photography of real-life children alternating with puppetry, toys, animals, and sculptures and paintings by famous artists. Accompanying the vivid images are whimsical versions of classical pieces by famous composers like Bach, Handel, and Corelli, made kid-friendly by the "Music Box Orchestra," as well as the traditional "Head, Shoulders, Knees and Toes." Baby Einstein videos are famous for this tried-and-true format that appeals to the limited attention span of very young viewers while encouraging cognitive development--the visual mix and pace in this presentation are especially effective. DVD features include language tracks in English, Spanish, and French; pictorial discovery cards with written and spoken words; an exploration of the five senses; puppet segments excerpted from the show; a read-aloud version of the book Mimi's Toes; and a listing of featured toys. (Ages 9 to 36 months) --Tami Horiuchi


Baby Einstein - Baby Neptune - Discovering Water

There's no denying a youngster's attraction to water, and the folks at Baby Einstein tap into that natural interest--and broaden it. They take babies and toddlers from bathtime to the beach, from tap water to waterfalls and geysers. A puppet octopus and duck serve as guides through clearly labeled sections: Ocean, Rivers and Lakes; Rain Drops and Puddles; Water at My House. A child speaks the title at the beginning and end of each unit, but those are the only words in this 24-minute "video board book." The rest of the sounds come courtesy of Handel, Telemann, Beethoven, and Johann Strauss. Both toy animals and real ones swim through the scenes and the footage of dolphins, sea turtles, and marina fish are fascinating enough that preschoolers won't mind sitting in with younger siblings. (Ages 1-3) --Kimberly Heinrichs


Baby Einstein - Baby Beethoven - Symphony of Fun

Classical music has been scientifically proven to encourage cognitive development in young children. Baby Beethoven, a 29-minute Baby Einstein production, presents excerpts from five of the composer's most famous symphonies, as well as incidental music, in a child-friendly, sensory-rich format. Familiar Beethoven themes like the Ode to Joy from his Ninth Symphony are playfully rendered on electric piano and accompanied by colorful images of toys in action, puppetry, and babies at play. The musical excerpts are relatively short and the imagery is quick-paced and varied enough to grab the limited attention span of viewers age 1 to 36 months. Unlike previous Baby Einstein presentations, each symphonic excerpt (though not the incidental music) is labeled--a feature that encourages further exploration of favorite pieces. Baby Beethoven is an aural and visual feast that promotes creativity, mental awareness, and an appreciation for classical music in infants, toddlers, and their parents. --Tami Horiuchi
