It's a good idea if your child tends to fall asleep in a certain position. But it's important to keep in mind that the window will only offer minimal coverage.

Confortable

The most important aspect of a stroller to think about is its ease of use. Choose a sturdy, well-padded seat that is big enough for both kids and includes reclining positions.

It's also a good idea to consider how well the stroller fits in your home. Most parents have a limited amount of storage space, so make sure that the stroller will fit in your closet or trunk before you purchase it. Also, you should measure any doorways you will have to traverse when the stroller is in use. The standard doorways are between 30 and 36 inches wide. However there are some that are narrower.
