When choosing the main children's transport, special attention should be paid to the wheels, because it will depend on them the maneuverability of the stroller, the smoothness of its course and the damping properties. And this all in turn influences whether the baby is comfortable in it and whether it will be easy for her to carry her to her mother.
Wheels for a stroller can be inflatable, plastic or polyurethane, and it can not be said that some of them are better than others. Each of them has both advantages and disadvantages: some are suitable for strollers with cradles, others are designed for easy walking options. When choosing, it is necessary to take into account not only your preferences, but also the state of the roads for which you will have to travel. For example, inflatable wheels for a stroller will provide good cross-country ability, which is indispensable in places with bad roads, but, on the other hand, you will have to constantly monitor whether they are punctured. Most parents who purchased an all-terrain vehicle with such tires, after a few months can already independently find and seal up the places of breakdowns. By the way, these skills are sure to come in handy when the child grows up and starts riding a bicycle.
If you choose transport for a newborn baby, then it's better to pay attention to inflatable tires. Such wheels for a wheelchair provide its smooth running, good patency and excellent shock absorption properties. In addition, due to the large diameter of the tires, the cradle is quite high. The main disadvantage of this option is the risk of puncturing or lowering the wheels, in addition, they are quite heavy, which increases the overall weight of the vehicle.
But the plastic wheels for the stroller are light enough: they are most often installed on canes. They are usually made small, which reduces the overall weight of the child's vehicle and makes it easier to transport, because such a stroller is compact enough.
But plastic wheels also have a number of significant drawbacks: off-road driving often turns into a nightmare. With bad roads, the wheelchair does not have to be rolled, but dragged along the road, the wheels practically do not spin, they get stuck in the stones and sand. You should not buy them if you live outside the city, where there are few asphalted roads, or like to get out on the nature with the baby. In addition, such wheels for the stroller are not very strong fasteners. With their active operation, there is a high enough risk that one of the wheels can fall off or break. But do not immediately reject them, for daily city walks they are ideal. And if you plan to travel with the baby, then without such an easy and maneuverable option you can not do. By the way, before the trip try to find or sew the covers on the wheels of the stroller - this will help significantly ease the road. If you have to travel in public transport or take things into your luggage, you will not be dirty with dirty tires yourself, others, bags and suitcases of strangers.
But there are wheels that combine both the advantages and disadvantages of both options - polyurethane. They are suitable for those who can not choose between plastic and inflatable tires, because they have a light weight, average patency, depreciation and maneuverability.
