You should also consider how the stroller will fit in your home. You should make sure the stroller will fit in your closet or trunk before you buy it. Also, you should determine the width of all doors which you'll be required to pass through with the stroller opened. Doors that are standard size are 30 to 36 inches wide, but some are wider.
