Choosing a Stroller That's Right For You

A stroller is a folded four-wheeled vehicle which small children can be pushed in. It's a great option to enjoy a leisurely run or stroll in the park.

Kidsland offers a variety of lightweight single stroller and dual strollers. Our top-selling items in the store are the Peg Perego Primo Viaggio 3-in-1 Convertible Car Seat/Stroller.

Choosing a Stroller

Strollers are a parent's best friend. They allow parents to easily transport their children around town, explore the outdoors, or go through busy shopping malls. It is crucial to select the right stroller for your child and your family. Consider where and how often you'll be using the stroller before selecting one that is right for you. Do you need it to navigate rough terrain, fit into a trunk for a car that's small or navigate through doors that are narrow? Consider whether you will be walking in the city or hiking in the woods. After you've chosen the type of stroller and features you'd like you can try several models.

Begin by doing some laps around the parking lot. This will help you become accustomed to the way it moves. If you plan to use it for jogging, test the wheels for wear and see how they move over bumps and uneven sidewalks. Then, consider whether you'll need an extra storage basket to store essentials or a reclining chair for babies. Make sure that the handlebars are able to fit your stride comfortably and there is enough room for an infant of your height in the seat.

If you're thinking to have more children in the near future, think about buying one stroller that can be converted into a double, or allows you to add a stroller board (for toddlers). Parents on Babylist say that one of their biggest stroller regrets is not buying an convertible model when they had the opportunity.

If you plan to use the stroller during stormy or bad weather ensure that the accessories like rain covers and sun umbrellas are attached quickly and easily. Also, make sure to check for a five-point harness that is easy to unbuckle and buckle, a secure seat and sturdy brakes. Also, check the hinges to make sure there aren't sharp edges or areas where a small finger could get stuck. Also, ensure that the stroller is compliant with the safety standards of the state and local level. Then, test it with your child to ensure you're both in a good place.

Strollers for One child

If you have one child one stroller may be all you require. These strollers are usually smaller than larger models and have the same safety features as larger strollers, including a large canopy to protect your baby from sun and wind. These strollers are also more maneuverable and they have fewer parts to 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 hold several seats or even a second baby car seat. They're typically more convenient to use than convertible or double strollers and might cost less up front, too.

An all-in-one stroller could be a good choice for older babies. They typically come with a big, spacious basket which can be used to store your child's belongings and accommodate most diaper bags. They are also easily maneuverable and narrow enough to fit in the bathroom doorway or stall. Plus, they fold easily and can be put in a closet or backseat of the car for quick transport.

If you're looking for a stroller which can adapt to your growing family, you should consider a convertible model. These strollers have a base frame which can accommodate up to two toddler seats or even a baby bassinet. (Adapters and carriers are sold separately). They are generally more expensive than single-seaters however they are a great investment when you're looking to take your kids on a short journey and have flexibility in seating. The UPPAbaby Vista v2 is our top recommendation for a top-quality convertible stroller with top features and can accommodate up to three children with ease (age-dependent).

Strollers for Two children

If you have two small children, a double stroller is a must to move both at once. There are a variety of options like tandems, side-by-sides, and wagons. A majority of the dual strollers we tested can accommodate a second child seat, or even a third one if you add a piggyback ride-along board (sold separately). Tandem strollers are available in different configurations to suit different levels of ages and ages. However they're generally larger and heavier than side-byside models.

Parents of twins will want a double stroller that has the same seating arrangement as their children. They'll also need one that can accommodate two infant car seats at the same time which is something only a handful of our top-rated double strollers offer. Twins who are near in age or ability may do better with the tandem stroller, but the choice of seating style will depend on the distance between them in age and the features each prefers.

In our tests, all of the tandem strollers that we tested were easy to maneuver with a a large turning radius. They did not turn as well in tight spaces as a cheap single stroller-stroller and can be a challenge to navigate curbs. The majority of the strollers we reviewed fit in the majority of doors, however they might have a narrow aisle than one stroller.

A few strollers that we tested worked with a second toddler seat, but they didn't permit you to swap seats in and out which could be beneficial if your children are at different age groups. The UPPAbaby V2 Double is the exception to this rule. It lets you easily change between double and single mode with its convertible frame.

Side-by-side strollers are the most popular model in our double stroller category and we've compared some of the top options available that are available. They're all spacious with storage space and let you keep both children within view. Some have parent consoles that assist you in keeping on top of your child's desires and requirements. Some are priced at the same cost as our top single strollers, whereas others are more expensive.

Strollers for Three Children

You'll need to locate the perfect stroller for your children if you have three (or two older twins and one singleton). This is a major purchase, so it's best single pushchair to research and search for a model that will suit your family's size, lifestyle and budget.

For a triple stroller which can grow with your kids, try the Graco Ready2Grow LX. It comes with a front seat that can be used to hold bassinets or infant car seats, and a rear bench seat that can convert to a toddler's seat for children who are over 6 months of age. The seat can be used as a platform that can be used as a standing one for toddlers and you can also use the parent tray that comes with cup holders and storage compartments.

The Joovy Big Caboose is another fantastic triple stroller. It has two car-seat-compatible, forward-facing reclined seats that will fit children who are 32 inches or more tall. The rear seat accessory can be added to the stroller, making it a triple tandem, with the standard third seat for your eldest child. This model is especially well designed for twins or other siblings of similar age, in which the older child will be in the front seat and the younger one will be in the rear seat.

Many parents choose quad strollers which is essentially double Stroller single with an additional seat in the back. While these models are not difficult to maneuver in tight spaces, they do offer more seating options than the standard double. The Foundations Trio Sport 4 Passenger Stroller is a great choice. It's a bit pricey and has received a lot of praise from parents.

Strollers are essential for transporting your children and giving them an enjoyable, safe space to relax while you're in the move. When it's time to buy a stroller, you need to be aware of the differences between double and single strollers in order to choose the right model for your family. No matter which model you choose it's important to choose an item that is compliant with US Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) standards and has an ergonomic handlebar that is comfortable to push and steer for long periods of time.
