Have you fallen in love with a stroller photo on a celebrity's Instagram page? Ever since then, you've been dreaming of cruising around town in this latest model. But is this stroller the right one for you? Does it fold easily into the trunk of your car and does it have enough storage space?
The stroller of your dreams is the one that suits you. There is no one model that surpasses the others, even if it is seen in trendy advertisements and available in several colors. To find it, you have to shop smart.
Stock up on information
Where to start? Before you even go to the store, the “stroller shopping” project begins. Talk to your friends: do your friends like the model they have? What would they change?
Continue your research on the web. You will also find a host of advice and tips on Charlotte and Charlie's blog and on her YouTube channel .
It is important to identify your own needs. What is your lifestyle? Do you travel by car, bus, gravel or run? In what conditions do you plan to use the stroller?
Although often hypothetical, these answers will guide you towards a category of strollers.
A word of advice: avoid the pitfalls of impulse purchases online. Even if the price or discount seems attractive, you may regret your purchase if it doesn't suit you.
Expecting twins or planning to expand your family? There are several double stroller models available, including the Bumbleride Indie Twin:
Look at what we already have
Have you already purchased or do you own a car shell and accessories? No worries. This will limit the choice, but you will still have access to several options, with or without adapters. You will be able to find a stroller that is perfect for your needs, which is not necessarily from the same brand as the transport shell.
You should also estimate the costs of additional accessories that may be required to adapt your stroller for outdoor use or to accommodate a second child. Make a budget!
Go to the store and meet a trained advisor
Have you spotted models that interest you? It's time to confirm your choices by going to the store. To do this, don't forget to make an appointment with a trained advisor at Charlotte et Charlie, who will be able to answer all your questions. You will also be able to try the models on site, compare them and check if the ergonomics suit you.
Are you out of the area or can't make it to the store? No worries. It is always possible to make an appointment for a virtual consultation .
You will find a wide selection in store , including this new Mixx Next model from the Nuna brand:
Confirm our choice
Now that you have tried and liked several models, it is time to choose just one. Don't be in a hurry or rush; this process may take longer than expected since there are so many to choose from.
It is also time to choose the color and accessories.
Get a head start: Although several models are available in inventory, the one you want may only be available as a special order.
Psst! After completing your purchase, don't forget to register it with the manufacturer (the same goes for all your furniture and accessories). This will make it easier to request a repair or claim, if necessary.
Happy smart shopping!
