40 Smart Stroller Hacks To Make Parenting Life Easier
Strollers can be lifesavers for parents. Not only do these magic carriers allow your little one to rest their legs — and probably eat a snack — they can also hold unknown amounts of bags, balls, toys, and other child essentials. But that's not all. No, no. There are literally dozens of secret ways that a stroller can lend you a helping hand. And because it takes a village to raise a child, we've rounded up the best hacks to make the most out of your stroller. You can thank us later.
1. Zip ties for traction
It’s hard enough going out for a walk on your own in icy weather. Add a stroller into the mix and the chances of an accident are even higher. Not if you have some zip ties to hand, though. For a much better grip tie these around the wheels of your stroller and you’re far less likely to send your little one flying.
2. Use luggage tags
You might not be planning a trip, heck, you might not even own a suitcase! Yet the trusty luggage tag can still come in handy if you have a little one. Reduce the chances of your stroller getting mistaken for another by placing a tag with your name on its handlebars. Just don’t put your address or any other confidential information on there, too!
3. Increase handlebar grip
Handlebars looking like they’ve seen better days? Well, you don’t need to think about getting a new stroller just yet. Simply buy a handlebar grip and yours will look as good as new. Opt for a colorful one and your stroller will also be much easier to recognize if you need to leave it somewhere.
4. Get a stroller costume
Not every stroller hack has to be a particularly practical one, of course. This one, for example, is purely about making your walk just that little bit more fun. Yes, if you and your little one share a cheeky sense of humor, then why not get a costume to drape around your stroller?
