You will undoubtedly want some accessories for your stroller. No one stroller is going to have every single thing you are likely to wish for. The good news is most accessories are quite reasonably priced allowing you a wide selection. Here are a few:
* Stroller liners made to snuggly cuddle and support infant’s heads and bodies. Some are adjustable with an inner liner to remove as baby grows.
* Umbrella stroller tote bags and airline gate check stroller bags free your hands, keep strollers clean and protected from minor damages and easy to stow in an overhead or with the flight attendant.
* Handle extensions for taller persons. Indispensable if your stroller does not come with adjustable handles built in.
* Cargo attachable side sling. Attach to either side of a stroller to keep must haves easily accessible. Will fold with the stroller. Keeps the space behind the stroller clear for your legs.
* Mesh netting or insect netting is an absolute must, especially in warmer climates and off road settings.
* Snap on trays for serving snacks and beverages. Also double as play trays for crayons and small toys.
* Clip on stroller mobiles and dangling toys. Babies love the jiggling.
* Clamp on adjustable fan. Battery operated. Can be used on crib, playpen or pretty much any place you can clamp it.
* Nifty organizers that attach to the upper handles. Some have zippered pockets, cup holders and phone holders.
* Nifty organizers that attach to the lower portion of the handles, designed to handle heavier objects.
* Shades with UV protection and clamp on parasols shield baby from the sun.
* Peak in mirrors let mom see baby without disturbing or attracting baby’s attention.
* Plastic rain covers and hoods. Some are simple protection. More sophisticated “stroller coats” are insulated for warmth in cooler climates.
These are a pretty representative sampling of accessories you will find available. Some you know you will want right away. Others you will find the need as baby grows. If you find the perfect stroller except it is missing a feature you really want, check first if that feature can be bought as an add on or accessory before resigning yourself to having less than you need.
