Strollers
There are many strollers on the market each designed to satisfy a specific need. Some strollers are made to accommodate multiple babies (twins or children with a small age difference), while others are for singletons. The rest are designed to fit children aged from birth to four. Many of them have safety guidelines to be adhered to For instance, any child seat or carrycot must be secured and must not be more than 20cm away from the edge of the frame.
