10 cheap baby strollers that fits every parent's budget

Parenting is not a walk in the park, but sometimes all you need to brighten up your day is a stroll outside with your baby. When your baby is a newborn or still very young, you can get away with carrying them around in your arms or in a baby carrier but when they get to about 6 months and above, it becomes much more difficult.

Carrying a 20-30 pounds infant around for hours is not fun, not to mention if you have twins. This is when a stroller becomes a necessity, less carrying and more pushing. A baby stroller also provides safety and security when you take your infant to crowded places like the zoo, amusement parks, malls, and festivals. It permits you to keep an eye on toddlers instead of them lagging behind you. If you plan to indulge in any of these activities with your baby, then you most definitely need a stroller.

Baby strollers come in all shapes and sizes as well as at different prices, they all vary from umbrella strollers to jogging strollers, double strollers, and travel strollers. Let’s take you on a discovery ride with some of the best baby strollers that fit every parent’s budget.

While it saves you money to get cheap and affordable strollers, think about how many strollers you are going to have to change out when the cheap ones are not able to withstand rough terrain of joggers. Also, cheap strollers are made for other purposes than jogging, naturally the ability to provide comfort to the baby while the parent jogs is not achievable. Think of a super bumpy ride in a car for 15-20 minutes. That's almost 'forever' to a baby in a pram in such situation. So, always opt for a stroller that's made for parents who wish to bring their baby along on their jogs such as:

1. Graco FastAction Fold Jogger Travel System - Convenient for moms on the go, it takes only one-second, and one-hand to fold. Featuring air-filled rubber tires suitable for all terrain, lock front wheels for extra stability, a multi-position reclining chair for comfort, this stroller is perfect for daily strolling and jogging.

2. Thule Urban Glide 2.0 Jogging Stroller - It has a high suspension that makes rides smooth for both parent and child. A reclining seat with many popular car seats easily adaptable. Some additional highlights are zippered storage compartment, a canopy with side-ventilation windows, an adjustable handlebar for maximum comfort and a handbrake that provides speed control when jogging.

3. Burley Solstice Jogging Stroller - Easy One-Handed Fold that allows for easy and quick folding when carrying your baby, an extendable padded handlebar that fits perfectly, a canopy that allows plenty of shade from the sun and when retracted the Burley's stroller is a jogger's ideal stroller. Not forgetting the coil-spring suspension system that provides a smooth ride as a spectator point of view.
 

With so many amazing strollers in the market, picking one can be a bit of a challenge. When choosing, consider all your options carefully, ask yourself what your family will be doing most of the time with the stroller. Where will you be going, to the mall, strolling or jogging in the park, on the street, in the woods or traveling. Pick what best suits your activities. Bear in mind that features like snack trays, cup and bottle holders, cushions, sunblock, and car seats are all accessories that can be added later. So they shouldn’t be deal breakers or influence your final verdict.
