Some parents feel that the outdoor folding wagon is spacious enough, not only to carry the child, but also to hold some other supplies, from baby to child, a cart can be managed, no need to replace. But from the safety aspect, although the outdoor folding cart has a lot of advantages in design, but these design advantages do not guarantee the safety of children. Therefore, you can't replace a baby stroller with a normal outdoor folding wagon.
The first thing we need to understand is that although folding carts and baby wagons look very similar, the functions and structures of the two are very different. The general folding cart is mainly for adults, it is not designed to consider the child safety factors, while the stroller is set for children loaded, in the design and manufacturing process need to comply with the child stroller safety requirements.
Babies are curious about the world but at the same time don't have the ability to control and protect themselves, so children's wagons need to meet a range of safety requirements so as to avoid safety issues.These requirements include material, metal surface, combustion performance, structure, basic size, age-applicability, attachment of lying and sitting pads to the frame, stability, handle strength, braking device, fold locking device, restraint system, strength of the wheels, dynamic durability test, crash intensity, static stability, and so on. Many regulations are not met by ordinary outdoor folding wagon.
In addition, the baby stroller will have a lot of targeted design, including shock absorption, warmth, seat belts, etc. Ordinary outdoor folding carts do not have these designs, the body is just a cloth bag, bottom board and frame. Of course, these protective accessories can be customized if needed, but their safety cannot be guaranteed.
Secondly, most outdoor folding carts are designed to be pulled rather than pushed, which is a big difference from a baby stroller. If you put your child in the cart and pull it along, the infant is out of sight, plus folding carts don't have the bar guards that stroller have, and the child is at risk of falling off. Some folding carts add a rear armrest for ease of use, which allows you to push the cart, but it doesn't mean it can replace a baby stroller.
When using outdoor folding carts, we must pay attention to the safety of children, users must comply with the instructions for use, and we have also emphasized in the manual that children are not allowed to use or operate the folding cart. Now there are also several well-known brands on the market, such as radio flyer, selling children's folding wagons, users can choose a well-known model with safety guarantee when shopping.
