Will Baby Strollers be allowed on Buses in Canada

It was very important topic for all Canadians using buses for their commute and having baby strollers with them. Lots of mothers, their babies, and baby strollers were protesting in front of Ottawa City Hall on November 18 against the proposition to restrict some sizes and shapes of strollers allowed on public transportation in Canada.

Finally Authorities chose not to impose their regulations.

It is a great news for all parents!
Especially now when baby slings are not such a good option, after few infant's death reported and associated with them.
Baby carriers are good but not the best way to commute with the baby on public transportation. Still the best option is the right type of baby stroller, the best and the most convenient lightweight stroller or umbrella stroller. These models are made to be very light, easy to fold with one hand, and compact. Lightweight strollers are always favorite and they come in many designs, styles, and sizes. On the market you can find big selections of lightweight strollers often right on your budget, these models are cheap. Also many manufacturers and makers offer very wide galleries of that kind of products. From fancy Italian Peg Perego and Mia Moda, Graco, Kolcraft, to Evenflo and Britex Blink.

Jogging Strollers on Marathon Run

On November, 22, 2009 may new record be set for running with joggers in Marathon.

Tulsa's Williams Route 66 Marathon - this Sunday will take place race that involve two elite runners and their sons in jogging strollers.
Both fathers are marathon runners - Michael Wardian and Zac Freudenburg, they will run 26,2 miles while pushing their kids - 11-month old Grant and 10-month old Liam - in joggers.
They're not only trying to outrun each other, they're trying to break the current Guinness World Record for a marathon race while pushing a stroller — 2:42:21 — set by Wardian and his firstborn son, Pierce, in 2007.

The idea for this father-son adventure came from Wardian.

"Michael gave me the idea when we did the Mount Washington race a few years ago — he was expecting his second son, I was expecting my first," Freudenburg said. "He told me about running a marathon with his first son, and his son liked it, so that sort of planted the seed."

Wardian heard that Freudenburg was going to attempt to break his record and decided he and Grant were up for the challenge.

"We're pretty equally matched," Wardian said. "I think it's going to be a great race, especially if the kids cooperate."

Both men are accomplished distance runners — Wardian recently placed third at the World Championship 50k and Freudenburg won the St. Louis Marathon in April — and they're focused on breaking that Guinness World Record this Sunday. Minus any snack, diaper or crying baby breaks.

Great idea with many benefits for fathers and their children, jogging strollers are getting more and more popular, parents promote active and healthy lifestyle. They can be used even in marathons and for more recreational purposes.
If you are interested in jogging or running with your child or siblings, visit our website for some info, tips, and resources at www.strollernstuff.com we also offer a wide selection of joggers, single and double jogging strollers.

Graco Quattro Duo Tour Stroller- one of the best choices for Twins or Siblings

One of the hardest things when having multiples is trying to find a safe and efficient way to get them from one place to another. We care about their safety, comfort, and also about our budget.

One of the best products is the Graco Duo Quattro by Graco. This stroller packs a lot of punch with beautiful designs, the ability to grow with children, and the capacity for two infant car seat carriers (that need to be Graco brand as well).

This stroller has a large basket under the seats, cup holders for parents and children, large shades that are detachable, ergonomic handles that make it easier to steer and even control with one hand, and it comes in a couple lovely fabric designs.

The grace this stroller provides in its smooth ride is incomparable and its only draw back is its pure mass. Though the stroller folds with a simple twist of one hand, it is still a large item to place into the trunk of a vehicle.

A family sacrifices a good amount of space in carting around this stroller. Double strollers in general are large items and few fold up really small. The ones that tend to fold up the smallest are not equip to carry infant car seats.

Graco Quattro Duo is the model with all necessary features that babies and parents need. Prices are very reasonable to compare with other double stroller brands, and Graco is the manufacturer that you can trust. Usually Graco strollers, single and double are very highly rated for safety and durability by Consumer Reports.

Toronto Residents Advised to Lock up Baby Strollers

Lately I read article about baby stroller thefts in Toronto, Canada, I would like to share with you.

Bloor West Village have experienced a rash of baby stroller thefts over the past 10 months.Police say there have been six reported thefts since January. The strollers are being snatched off front porches. A man and a woman were arrested and charged in two of the cases earlier this year, which resulted in the strollers being sold online. However, their names have not been released because the investigation is ongoing.

"Don't take a chance," said Vella. "Don't leave anything valuable on verandas."Police suggest that strollers be secured or stored out of sight. When purchasing a stroller, officers recommend recording the make, model and serial number.Police believe thieves may be targeting baby strollers after a recent spike in thefts, especially in Toronto's west end. Since January, half a dozen strollers have been stolen in Toronto police 11 Division alone, which includes parts of Parkdale, High Park-Swansea and Runnymede-Bloor West Village.

Police are urging owners to secure or store strollers out of sight, as they are taken from house porches in most cases."We want to make people aware that this is in fact happening. Especially with colder snowy weather coming, you're less likely to properly store strollers," said Const. Wendy Drummond, adding that it is the more expensive makes being targeted.Of the six strollers stolen in 11 Division, a man and woman were charged earlier this year with attempting to sell two of the products online.Two other strollers were located by citizens and returned to their owners.

Police continue to investigate the thefts.

I think it is an interesting article, we can learn from it and protect our baby strollers from potential thief.
Remember, that baby strollers don't have lo-jacks! even those expensive ones.
