Below is a list of what you will need to look out if you are searching for a baby stroller.

1. Your toddler's age
Newborns have weak back and can hardly sit up on their own. They will need a stroller that lets them lie on their back for the first few months. Do NOT put newborn or young infant into a traditional stroller, including the umbrella style models. This will put the infants in a risk of positional asphyxia, resulting their head to fall forward and restricting their breathing ability, which are fatal for them. You are NOT suppose to use a stroller seat until they are able to sit up on his own, which is around 6 months old. 

2. Comfort , Stability and Security
What do you see in a car with comfort? Bigger tires with shock absorber. Baby strollers too follows the same attributes in comfort level. This is important if you are strolling your toddlers on an unpaved road, tromping through snows, or wheeling through grass pavements. Babies wont feel comfortable with those bumpy rides, and you will need extra effort to stroll through the area. 
Besides that, stability is also important as you wouldn't want the stroller to topple if there are some additional weight added to it. A wide wheelbase will be a good point for stability. If the stroller is equipped with an under seat basket, look for basket that sits low, situated just above the wheels of the stroller.
Security of your baby must not be neglect as well. Features such as locks, safety belts, brakes on wheels must not be overlooked. Three-point safety belts and five-point are the most secure for your child. Five-point safety belts are more suitable for jogging stroller, as it involves quick movement.

3. Convenience

If you are a city dweller who depends solely on public transportation, this will be a an important point that you will need to take into heavy consideration. Small and light stroller will be easy for you to fit into a car trunk or public transport. Some baby strollers even folds and opens with a single hand effort, which adds a great point to convenience.
