			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><b></b><i></i><u></u>Graco&#8217;s Quattro Tour Stroller, loved by many <a href="http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/redirect?link_code=ur2&amp;camp=1789&amp;tag=httpwwwmusi0a-20&amp;creative=9325&amp;path=external-search%3Fsearch-type=ss%26keyword=being+a+good+parent%26index=blended"  class="alinks_links" onclick="return alinks_click(this);"  style="padding-right: 13px; background: url(http://thomasthetrainfansite.com/blog/wp-content/plugins/alinks/images/external.png) center right no-repeat;" title="More Resources on being good parents" rel="external">parents</a><img class="amazon_image" src="http://www.assoc-amazon.com/e/ir?t=httpwwwmusi0a-20&amp;l=ur2&amp;o=1" width="1" height="1" border="0" alt="" style="border:none !important; margin:0px !important;" />, is a full-sized, sturdy and well built stroller that is known for it&#8217;s easy handing and folding. In addition to it&#8217;s many feature, Graco has built in this stroller&#8217;s ability to carry infant car seats for that quick installation and carry of an infant child, without having to remove them from the car seat. All in all, the Graco Quattro Tour is a well suited and feature rich stroller built to last for many years.</p>
<p>One of the key features of this stroller is the easy folding and unfolding in a matter of seconds. Just pull the stroller out, set a couple of levers and you&#8217;re ready to go. This really come handy when you&#8217;re outside in the rain, snow, wind, or just in hurry. And likewise, when you&#8217;re finished, the Quattro Tour simply folds into an easily manageable stroller to put away in the car or wherever you need to store it.</p>
<p>For parents that have infants of smaller children requiring car seats, Graco has customized their SnugRide 32 Car Seat to quickly insert into the Quattro Tour Stroller. So, when you&#8217;re out and about, it simply a matter of pulling the car seat out and simply place it into the stroller to click and lock it into position. The end results are a safe and comfortable ride for the infant. And for those rainy, sunny, or windy days, the Quattro Tour comes with a full-sized canopy, that rotates 180 degrees to give optimal shading of you&#8217;re little one.</p>
<p>The Quattro Tour gives your child a comfortable ride with comfort features such as rubber wheels, all-wheel suspension, a padded stroller seat, padded head support, a fully reclining seat with 4 positions of recline. In addition to these comfort features, the Quattro Tour stroller gives your child a snack tray and a cup holder for your child&#8217;s drinks, snacks and / or playthings.</p>
<p>Some owners of this stroller have found that the large, easily accessible storage basket under the stroller to be a real asset. Even in the seats fully reclined position, you can still gain access to and use the storage basket for all those things that you need to take with you such as diaper bags, groceries and more.</p>
<p>The Quattro Tour&#8217;s swivel wheels, with never-flat rubber tires, make is easy to maneuver in and around shopping malls, crowed environments and even outdoor parks. Or for those uneven surfaces the wheels can be locked to help maintain stability.</p>
<p>This stroller uses a 3 and 5-point safety harness, which is designed to comfortably keep the little ones safe and secure in their seat. Just think of the peace of mind parents have knowing their children are snug, safe, secure and enjoying the ride in their stroller. And, for those times and this stroller needs to keep still you can use the one-touch braking system that will lock the stroller in place and safe.</p>
<p>If you are looking for a great stroller then consider the Quattro Tour. It is an affordable, great looking, full-featured stroller that can seat the Graco SnugRide Car Seat, or simply have the child sit in the adjustable, padded and secure main seat. All in all, we highly recommend this popular stroller . . . now go out and enjoy the outdoors &#8211; safely &#8211; with your little one.</p>

<p>Tough decision trying to decide which baby jogging stroller is right for your family. More and more <a href="http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/redirect?link_code=ur2&amp;camp=1789&amp;tag=httpwwwmusi0a-20&amp;creative=9325&amp;path=external-search%3Fsearch-type=ss%26keyword=being+a+good+parent%26index=blended"  class="alinks_links" onclick="return alinks_click(this);"  style="padding-right: 13px; background: url(http://thomasthetrainfansite.com/blog/wp-content/plugins/alinks/images/external.png) center right no-repeat;" title="More Resources on being good parents" rel="external">parents</a><img class="amazon_image" src="http://www.assoc-amazon.com/e/ir?t=httpwwwmusi0a-20&amp;l=ur2&amp;o=1" width="1" height="1" border="0" alt="" style="border:none !important; margin:0px !important;" /> with young children have adopted a healthy lifestyle. They want to be active and they want to do it with their baby. Thousands of families have invested in a baby jogging stroller for their baby &#8211; and maybe now is the time for your family to do the same. There are so many choices that finding the one that is best for you is not an easy task. Don`t let that stop you and your partner from staying fit and getting fit. Look at these 10 things to do when deciding which jogging stroller is best for you.</p>
<p>1. Choose an aluminum framed stroller. Your choices will be strollers made with either metal tube frames or aluminum frames. You want your stroller to weigh less than 25 pounds. Metal tube frame strollers are much heavier than those made with an aluminum frame. Choosing an aluminum frame provides you with a lighter, easier to push stroller, and they are also longer lasting, stronger and more resistant to rust and corrosion.</p>
<p>2. Bicycle style 16 inch wheels. All three of the wheels (two in the back and one in the front) should be spoked, air-filled, 16 inch wheels very similar to a bicycle tire. To be effective when running you want the stroller to run smoothly over any surface. These types of wheels are the most effective size and style for an easy ride for your child and a great run or walk for dads and moms.</p>
<p>3. Seating comfort. Many babies love to nap during their parents run. The stroller seat should tilt back at a 25 percent angle to make it easier for baby to sleep. In addition, the material in the seat should be a light weight fabric that breathes making it comfortable for baby especially on warmer weather days.</p>
<p>4. Sun protection. All jogging strollers have sun canopies to provide shade to your child. Direct sunshine into the baby&#8217;s face cause the baby to be very uncomfortable, unhappy, and we are all conscious of the negative impact of the sun&#8217;s rays. For best sun protection choose one that has a sun canopy that fully rotates to provide shade to your baby no matter what the angle of the sun.</p>
<p>5. Child safety. Safety is number 1 whenever it comes to your baby. Make sure that the stroller you choose keeps your baby safely strapped into their seat. Look for a stroller with a five-point harness. The stroller should have both a hand brake, and a parking brake (engaged by flipping a bar with your feet).</p>
<p>6. Compact for storage. It should be easy to fold by one person with very little effort. If you plan on putting it into your car`s trunk its folded dimensions should be no greater than 45 in. x 25 in. x 18 in. To make it fold even smaller look for wheels that easily can be removed with a push of a button.</p>
<p>7. Adjustable handlebar. If you are 6 foot 4 inches tall and your partner is 5 foot 4 inches tall, and you are both going to be using the stroller, the handlebar on your stroller should be easily adjustable (with a simple push of a button) making it comfortable for each of you when jogging.</p>
<p>8. Accommodate baby as they grow. The last thing you want is to have your child outgrow their stroller. It should be rated to hold a baby that weighs up to 80 pounds, and can hold a child that has a seated height up to 25 inches.</p>
<p>9. Buy with confidence. If you bring the stroller home and try it out and it just isn`t what you expected it to be, make sure that the retailer will provide a full refund without any arguing. And if there are problems down the road make sure that there is a good long term warranty from the manufacturer. A solid manufacturer`s warranty is 5 years on the frame and 1 year on all other parts of the stroller.</p>
<p>10. They range in price. Make sure it fits within your budget. You can purchase a good jogging stroller for as little as $280 and you can pay over $1,000. Sometimes you are paying for the `brand name`. Select your stroller based on your family`s needs and the features that are important to you.  Remember, that it is a multi year investment in your child`s health and your family`s happiness. If you are able to afford $280 a jogging stroller can become an important part of your life.</p>
<p>Use this list of ten things to do to list which stroller features are most important to your family. Then use your list to help you to purchase the stroller that best meets your needs.</p>
