Choosing a Stroller That's Right For You

A stroller is a four-wheeled and often folded, chair-like vehicle in which small children are pushed. It is a great way to take a leisurely walk or run outdoors.

Kidsland offers a wide selection of dual strollers and single strollers. Our store best sellers include the Peg Perego Primo Viaggio 3-in-1 Convertible Car Seat/Stroller.

How to Select a Stroller

Strollers are a baby's best friend--they allow parents to easily take their kiddos around town and explore the great outdoors or stroll through crowded malls. However, choosing the right stroller for your child and family's needs is essential for a smooth ride. To choose a stroller that's right for you, first consider where you'll use it and how often. Do you need it to navigate rough terrain, fit into a small car trunk or navigate through doors that are narrow? Think about whether you'll be walking around the city or hiking in the woods. After you've chosen the kind of stroller and features you'd like to have, you can test drive various models.

Start by doing some laps in the parking lot. This will allow you to get used to the way it moves. If you'll be using it to run, test the tires for durability and check how they roll over bumps and uneven sidewalks. Decide if you want a basket to store your essentials or a reclining chair for newborns. Make sure the handlebars can be positioned to allow you to walk comfortably and there is enough room for the child of your size in the seat.

If you are planning to have more children in the future, you may want to consider a cheap single buggy stroller that could be converted into a double stroller or a stroller board for toddlers. One of the biggest stroller regrets for Babylist parents is not purchasing a convertible model.

Also, if you'll be using the stroller in rain or other inclement weather, look for accessories like sun canopy and rain covers that can be quickly and easily attached. Don't forget to think about safety. Look for a five-point harness system that is easy to buckle and unlock as well as a safe seating position and strong brakes. Also, check the hinges to make sure there are no sharp edges or spots where a tiny finger could get stuck. Then, make sure the stroller is compliant with the safety standards of the state and local level. Then try it out with your child to ensure that you are comfortable.

Strollers for One Child

If you only have one kid one stroller may be all you require. These strollers are typically smaller than larger strollers and have the same safety features. They also come with a large canopy that shields your child from the elements of sun and wind. They are also more flexible and have fewer parts that could break.

If your baby is small and is still in a car seat that is for infants, an all-in-one stroller with a built-in infant carrier might be the ideal option for you. These strollers feature sturdy frames that can be used to 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 double or convertible strollers.

An all-in-one stroller could be a good option for older babies. These strollers usually have large, spacious baskets that can hold your child's things and can accommodate most diaper bags. They're also simple to steer and narrow enough to fit through a doorway or bathroom stall. Plus, they fold easily and can be tucked away in a closet or behind the seat of the vehicle for easy transport.

Consider a convertible stroller when you want a stroller to grow with your family. These strollers come with a base frame that can accept up to two toddler seats or even a bassinet (carriers and adapters sold separately). They are generally more expensive than single stroller with standing board-seaters but they're a great option for those who want to take your kids on a short journey and have flexibility in seating. The UPPAbaby Vista V2 is our top choice for a premium convertible stroller with top features and can hold up to three kids with ease (age-dependent).

Strollers for Two Children

If you have two small children, a double stroller is necessary to transport them both at once. There are many different alternatives, such as tandems, side-byside strollers and wagons. Many of the dual strollers we tested are able to accommodate two child seats, or even a third if you include a ride-along board that piggybacks (sold separately). Tandem strollers have more configurations for different age groups and stages than side-by-side models however they are generally 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 will probably also need a stroller that can accommodate two infant car seats at the same time which is something that only a handful of our top-rated double strollers do. Twins who are similar in age or abilities may do better with a tandem stroller, however the choice of seating style will also depend on the distance between them in age and what features they each prefer.

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

Some strollers that were side-by-side we tested could be used with an additional toddler seat, but they didn't allow you to swap seats in and out this would be useful when your children are of different age ranges. The UPPAbaby V2 Double is the exception to this rule. It allows you to effortlessly switch between single and double mode by converting its frame.

We've compared the top double strollers available. They provide the convenience of keeping both children within reach at all times, and have plenty of storage space for your gear. Some include parent consoles that can be useful in keeping track of your children's requirements and desires. They're typically more expensive than a single stroller, however some are priced at prices that are comparable to or less than those of our best single jogging stroller single strollers.

Strollers for three children

You'll need to locate the perfect stroller for your children If you have three (or two older twins and a singleton). It's a big purchase, so you'll need to shop around to find a model that suits your family's size and lifestyle as well as your budget.

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

Another fantastic triple stroller is the Joovy Big Caboose. It comes with two car-seat-compatible forward-facing, reclining seats that fit kids up to 32 inches tall. The rear seat accessory can be added to the stroller, making it a triple tandem, with the standard third seat for your largest child. This model is especially well suited for twins or siblings close in age, where the older child will be in the front seat and the younger one will be in the rear seat.

Quad strollers are very popular with parents. They are essentially double strollers with an additional seat at the back. These strollers aren't as maneuverable however they do offer more seating options compared to the standard double. One of the best options is the Foundations Trio Sport 4-Passenger Stroller which is affordable and has excellent reviews from parents who have used it.

Strollers can be used to transport your children around and provide them with a safe, comfortable place to relax while you're out. When you're ready to purchase a stroller, it is important to be aware of the differences between single pro stroller and double strollers in order to choose the right model for your family. Regardless of which model you choose, it's always important to look for an item that is compliant with US Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) standards and has an ergonomic handlebar that makes it easy to push and steer for long periods of time.
