How to Choose a Stroller

Strollers are a child's best lightweight single stroller friend. They let parents easily transport their kids around town and go on adventures in the great outdoors or stroll through crowded malls. But choosing the right stroller for your child and family's needs is crucial to ensure a comfortable ride. To pick a stroller right for you, first think about where you'll use it and how often. Do you want it to go on rough terrain and fit into a small car trunk or navigate narrow doors? Consider whether you will be taking it on city walks or out in the woods. Once you've decided on the stroller type and features you require you can test the various models.

Start by doing some laps in the parking lot. This will allow you to get used to how it handles. If you plan to use it for jogging, check the durability of the wheels and how well they roll on uneven and bumpy pavements. Choose if you'd like an essentials storage basket or a recliner chair for infants. Also, make sure the handlebars are at an appropriate height for your stride and there's enough room in the seat to hold a child your size.

If you are planning to have more children in the future, you may think about a single stroller that could be transformed into a double stroller, or a stroller board for toddlers. One of the biggest stroller regrets for Babylist parents is not purchasing convertible models.

If you're planning to use the stroller Single during rain or other inclement weather consider accessories such as rain covers and sun canopies that can be swiftly and easily connected. Don't forget to think about safety. Make sure you have a five point harness system that is easy to buckle and unlock and secure seating and sturdy brakes. Also, check the hinges to make sure there are no sharp edges or places where a small finger could get stuck. Make sure the stroller is in compliance with the safety requirements of your state and local laws. Also, try it with your child to make sure that you're both at ease.

Strollers for One Child

If you only have one kid, a single stroller might be all you require. These strollers are usually smaller than full-sized models and come with the same safety features as larger strollers, including a large canopy that protects your baby from the sun and wind. They're also generally more mobile and have fewer components that may break.

If your child is in an infant seat strollers that have an infant carrier built in is a good option. These strollers are built with sturdy frames that can accommodate several seats or even a second infant car seat that can be attached to the base. They are generally easier to use and cost less upfront than convertible or double strollers.

A stroller that is all-in-one can be a good choice for older children. They come with a big wide basket that can carry your child's things and can accommodate most baby diaper bags. They are also easy to maneuver and narrow enough to fit into the bathroom or doorway. They can also be folded and stored in a car's back seat or closet for easy transportation.

Consider a convertible stroller if are looking to expand your stroller with your family. They come with a base frame which can accommodate up to two toddler seats, or even a baby bassinet. (Adapters and carriers are available separately). These strollers are usually more expensive than single-seaters but they're a great option for those who want to travel light with your children and have flexibility in seating. The UPPAbaby Vista V2 is our top choice for a premium convertible stroller that offers premium features and can carry up to three kids comfortably (age-dependent).

Strollers for Two Children

If you have two young children A double stroller is necessary to transport them both at once. There are a variety of options including tandems, side-by sides, and wagons. A majority of the dual-strollers we tested could accommodate the second child's seat or a third one if you add a piggyback board (sold separately). Tandem strollers have more configurations for different ages and stages than side-by-side models however, they are typically larger in size and heavier in weight.

Parents of twins will require a stroller that has the same seating options as their children, and they likely will require a stroller that is able to accommodate two infant car seats simultaneously which is something that only a handful of our top-rated double strollers do. Twins who are close in age or capability might be better off with a tandem stroller, but the type of seating will depend on how far apart they are in terms of age and what features each prefers.

In our tests, we found that all the tandem strollers we reviewed were easy to maneuver and had a large turning radius. However, they did not turn as easily as one stroller in narrow spaces, and may be difficult to maneuver around curbs. The majority of side-byside strollers that we tested fit through standard doors. However, they could have a shorter aisle than a single pushchair with buggy board stroller.

A few of the side-by sides we test had a second toddler's seat however, you could not swap them in and out. This is a great feature if your kids are at different age ranges. The UPPAbaby Vista V2 Double is an exception to this rule and it allows you to easily switch between double and single mode by using its convertible frame.

Side-by-side strollers are by far the most popular design in our double stroller category and we've tested some of the top options available that are available. Most come with plenty of storage space and allow you to keep both children in your view. Some include parent consoles that can be helpful for keeping track of your child's requirements and desires. Some are priced at the same cost as our top compact single stroller strollers, while others are more expensive.

Strollers for three children

If you have three children (or one singleton with two older twins) you'll require a stroller that will accommodate all of them. This is a major purchase, so it's a good idea to look around and search for a model that fits your lifestyle, family size and budget.

Try the Graco Ready2GrowLX triple stroller if you're looking for a stroller that can grow with your kids. It comes with a front-facing seat that can be used to hold bassinets or infant car seats as well as a rear bench seat that converts to a toddler's seat for children who are over 6 months of age. The seat can be used as a standing platform for children in preschool and you can also use the included parent tray with cup holders and storage compartments.

The Joovy Big Caboose is another excellent triple stroller. It comes with two car seat-compatible, forward-facing, reclining seats that fit kids up to 32 inches tall. The rear seat can be added to the stroller to make it a triple tandem, with an ordinary third seat for your largest child. This model is particularly suitable for twins or siblings who are close in age, in which the older one will ride in the front seat while the younger twin will sit in the rear seat.

Quad strollers are popular with parents. They are basically double strollers with an extra seat at the back. While these models are not easily maneuverable in tight spaces, they offer more seating options than a standard double. One option is the Foundations Trio Sport 4-Person Stroller that is inexpensive and has received excellent reviews from parents who have used it.

Strollers are crucial for transporting your children around and offering them the safety and comfort they need to rest while traveling. But when it comes time to buy a brand new stroller, it is important to know the differences between single and double strollers to determine the most suitable model for your family. It doesn't matter what model you choose it's important to select a stroller that has ergonomic handlebars that are comfortable to push and steer for long periods.
