All manufacturers of stroller accessories claim their products are must haves. However, when it comes to these accessories, the number one consideration should always be the baby’s safety rather than the item’s aesthetic appearance. Following are some of the items you can add to a stroller.

Stroller Trays and Cup Holders

Also called organizers, these are found on the stroller’s rear. These come in two types: a bucket with Velcro straps that hangs from the handle, and a tray that snaps to the handle. This accessory typically has two cup holders.

If you want to store other valuables there, look for those with a pocket. This can be used to store other stroller accessories, food or other items.

Mesh Bags / Backpacks

These are also fitted at the back of the stroller. You can use these to put in more toys, diapers or clothes. This accessory is ideal if the stuff you carry can’t fit in the cargo section below. These are usually placed on the handle bars.

Besides these bags, you can purchase plastic hooks. They are commonly used to hold diaper bag straps, but you can put a grocery bag or a coat there too. These are snapped on the pushing handle. These accessories always come in two.

Umbrella Holders and Lights

The arch on the handlebar can be used to store other stroller accessories. These include an umbrella holder, which can be handy in case it rains or gets too hot. You can also purchase lights when you go out at night. The arch can be also be used to hold other cup holders if they’re needed.

Inside the Stroller

There are lots of items you can add to make the baby feel more comfortable. These include adjustors and strap covers. If the baby wants to sleep, add a head holder or quilted bumper to make them more comfy.

There are also lambskin covers that can be put all over the stroller to make the infant more comfortable. To prevent bugs from getting in, you can use mesh netting. Other stroller accessories you can buy are rain hoods to keep the baby dry.

Other Accessories

You can buy frames to change the strollers into car seats. By using this option you no longer have to move the baby back and forth from the stroller to the car seat. The toddler stroller step allows a toddler to ride with the baby.

This accessory is fitted to the stroller’s back. From there the toddler can hold the arch while you push the stroller. The toddler jump seat allows the toddler to sit behind the infant.

Other accessories you can add are baby stroller mirrors, tote bags (a collapsible stroller), and parasols. Parasols are used to protect the baby from intense heat and sun glare.

You can also add more baby cushions and adjustable handles. You can also buy extra trays, carrying baskets and numerous toys.

When choosing stroller accessories, focus on the essentials first, like parasols and mesh bags. Adding these accessories will keep the baby safe and contented.
