Choosing a Stroller

Strollers are a child's best friend. They allow parents to easily transport their kids around the city and go on adventures in the great outdoors or navigate crowded shopping malls. It's crucial to pick the right stroller that suits your child and family. To select a stroller that's ideal for you, you must first consider where you'll use it and how often. Will it need to take on tough terrains, fit in a compact car trunk or navigate narrow doorways? Think about whether you'll be taking it on city walks or out in the woods. After you've identified the type of stroller you want and the features you want, it's time to test some strollers.

Begin by doing some laps in the parking lot. This will help you get accustomed to how it handles. If you intend to use it for jogging, check the wheels' durability and how well they move on bumps and uneven pavements. Consider if you'd like an essentials storage basket or a recliner chair for newborns. Make sure the handlebars fit your stride comfortably and there is enough room for an infant of your size to sit in the seat.

If you're planning to have more children in the near future, you should consider purchasing a single stroller that converts into a double, or allows you to add a stroller board (for toddlers). Babylist parents tell us that one of their biggest regrets with strollers is not buying a convertible model when they had the chance.

If you're planning to use the stroller during rain or other inclement weather, look for accessories like sun canopies and rain covers that can be quickly and easily connected. Be sure to consider safety. Look for a five point harness system that is easy to buckle and unlock and secure seating and sturdy brakes. Also, check the hinges to ensure there are no sharp edges or areas where a finger might get stuck. Then, make sure the stroller meets local and state safety standards. Also, try it with your child to ensure you're both in a good place.

Strollers for One Child

If you only have one kid, a single stroller might be all you need. They are typically smaller than the larger models and come with the same safety features that larger strollers have with a canopy that protects your baby from wind and sun. They're also generally more flexible and have fewer parts that may break.

If your baby is still young and still in a car seat that is for infants, an all-in-one stroller with an integrated infant carrier could be the ideal option for you. These strollers are built with sturdy frames that can be used to hold several seats, or even a second car seat. They're typically more convenient to use than double or convertible strollers and may cost less upfront as well.

An all-in-one stroller could be a good choice for older children. These strollers typically have large, spacious baskets which can be used to store your child's belongings and fit the majority of diaper bags. They're also easy to steer and are narrow enough to pass through a bathroom stall. They can be folded up and stored in a car's back seat or closet for easy transportation.

If you're seeking a stroller that can grow with your family, consider a convertible model. These strollers have an aluminum frame that can accept two toddler seats or even an infant bassinet (carriers and adapters sold separately). They are generally more expensive than single-seaters but are a great investment when you're looking to take your kids on a short journey and are able to accommodate a variety of seating. The UPPAbaby vista V2 is a convertible stroller with top features that can fit up to three children (age-dependent).

Strollers for Two Children

If you have two small children A double stroller is necessary to move both at the same time. There are a variety of options like tandems, side-by-sides and wagons. Many of the double strollers we tested are able to accommodate an additional child seat or even a third if you add a piggyback ride-along boards (sold separately). Tandem strollers offer more configurations for different ages and stages than side-by-side models, but they are also generally larger in size and heavier in weight.

Parents of twins will require a stroller with the same seating arrangements as their children. They will likely require a stroller that can accept two infant car seats at the same time this is something that very few of our top-rated double strollers offer. A tandem stroller is the best for twins that are similar in terms of age or abilities. However the seating layout depends on the distance each twin is in age and the features they like best.

In our tests, all the tandem strollers that we tested were easy to maneuver with large turning radius. However, they did not turn as well as a single stroller in tight spaces and could be difficult to navigate around curbs. The majority of side-byside strollers we tested fit through standard doors. However, they could have a narrower aisle than a single stroller.

Some of the side-by-sides that we tested included the option of a second seat for toddlers however, you could not swap them in and out. This could be beneficial in the event that your children are of different ages. The UPPAbaby Vista Double is an exception to this rule, and it allows you to easily switch between double and single mode by using its convertible frame.

We've compared the top double strollers available. They provide the convenience of keeping both children in sight at all times, and have plenty of storage space for your items. Some even have consoles for parents, which can be helpful in keeping track of your kids' requirements and desires. They're typically more expensive than a single stroller, however, some come with price tags that are comparable to or less than those of our top single strollers.

Strollers for three children

If you have three children (or a singleton and two older twins), you'll need a stroller that can fit all of them. This is a major purchase, so it's wise to shop around and look for a model that will suit your lifestyle, family size and budget.

This model is best suited for twins or siblings of similar age, where the older one will ride in the front seat while the younger child will be in the rear seat.

Quad strollers are a favorite among parents. They are basically double strollers that have an additional seat in the back. These strollers aren't as easy to maneuver, but they provide more seating options to a standard double. The Foundations Trio Sport 4 Passenger Stroller is a good option. It's a bit pricey and has received excellent reviews from parents.

Strollers can be used to transport your children and provide them with a safe and comfortable spot to relax while you're out.
