Choosing a Stroller That's Right For You

A stroller is an often foldable four-wheeled carriage which small children can be pushed in. It's an excellent way to enjoy a leisurely run or walk outdoors.

Kidsland offers a variety of double and single strollers. The Peg Perego PrimoViaggio 3-in-1 Car Seat/Stroller is one of our best sellers.

How to Choose a Stroller

Strollers are a baby's best friend--they allow parents to easily transport their children around the city and take them to the great outdoors, or navigate the crowded malls. However, choosing the right stroller for your child and your family's needs is vital for a smooth ride. To select a stroller that's right for you, first consider where you'll use it and how often. Will it need to take on difficult terrains, fit in a compact car trunk or maneuver through narrow doors? Also, think about whether you'll need to take it on walks around the city or hikes in the woods. After you've identified the type of stroller you want and the features you need, it's time to test the various models.

Start with some laps around the parking lot to familiarize yourself with its handling and maneuvers. If you'll be using it to run, test the tires for durability and see how they handle bumps and uneven sidewalks. Then, consider whether you'll need a basket for storage to carry essentials or a reclining chair for newborns. Also, ensure that the handlebars are at a comfortable height for your stride and there's enough space in the seat for the size of a child.

If you're thinking on having more kids in the near future, think about investing in one stroller that converts 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 the convertible model when they had the opportunity.

Finally, if you're planning to use the stroller in rain or other inclement weather consider accessories such as rain covers and sun canopies that can be quickly and easily attached. Don't forget safety. Check for a five-point harness system that is easy to buckle and unbuckle and secure seating and strong brakes. Also, examine the hinges to make sure there are no sharp edges or places where a finger might be stuck. Also, ensure that the stroller meets the safety standards of your state and local authorities. Also, try it with your child to make sure that you're both at ease.

Strollers for One Child

You may only require one stroller if you have just one child. These strollers are usually smaller than larger models and come with the same safety features as larger strollers that include a large canopy that protects your baby from sun and wind. These strollers are also more maneuverable, and have fewer components to break.

If your baby is still young and is still in a car seat that is for infants A stroller that is all-in-one with a built-in infant carrier might be the best option for you. These strollers are built with sturdy frames that can accommodate multiple seats or even a second car seat. They are usually easier to use and are less expensive in the beginning than convertible or double strollers.

A stroller that's all-in-one can be a great option for older children. These strollers typically have large, spacious baskets that can accommodate your child's belongings and accommodate most diaper bags. They're also easy to steer and narrow enough to pass through a bathroom stall. They can be folded and put away in the back of a car's seat or closet for easy transportation.

Consider a convertible stroller if you want a stroller to grow with your family. These strollers come with an aluminum frame that can accommodate up to two toddler seats, or even a bassinet for a baby. (Adapters and carriers are sold separately). These strollers are typically more expensive than single-seaters however they are a great investment if you want to move around with your kids in a light manner and can be adapted to seating. The UPPAbaby Vista v2 is a convertible stroller with top-quality features that can accommodate up to three children (age-dependent).

Strollers for Two Kids

A double stroller will assist you in transporting two children at once If you have more than one. There are a myriad of options available, such as tandems, side-by-sides and wagons. A majority of the double strollers we tested are able to accommodate a second child seat, or even a third if you add a piggyback ride-along board (sold separately). Tandem strollers are available in a variety of configurations to suit different age groups and stages. However they tend to be larger and heavier than side-byside models.

Parents of twins will require a stroller that offers the same seating options as their children. They will likely require a stroller that can accept two infant car seats at the same time which is something that only a handful of our top-rated double strollers do. A tandem stroller is ideal for twins who are similar in age or capability. However the seating layout is dependent on how far each twin is in age and which features they prefer.

In our tests, we found that all of the tandem strollers we reviewed were easy to maneuver and had a wide turning radius. They didn't turn as well in tight spaces as a single stroller and could be difficult to maneuver around curbs. The majority of the side-byside strollers we tested fit through standard doors. However, they could have a shorter aisle than a single-stroller.

Some side-by-side strollers we tested could be used with the second toddler seat however, they did not allow you to swap seats out and in, which would be helpful when your children are of opposite age ranges. The UPPAbaby Vista V2 Double is an exception to this rule and it lets you easily switch between single and double mode with its convertible frame.

We've compared the top double strollers available. They are convenient for keeping both children within reach at all times, and have plenty of storage space for your gear. Some even include consoles for parents, which can be useful in keeping track of your children's desires and needs. They are typically more expensive than a single stroller, however, some come with price tags that are in line with or less than our top 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 major purchase, so do your research to find the right model for your family size, lifestyle and budget.

For a triple stroller that can grow with your children consider the Graco Ready2Grow LX. It comes with a front-facing seat that can accommodate bassinets or infant car seats and a back bench seat that converts to a toddler seat for children who are over six months old. The seat can be used as an elevated platform for children in preschool and can be used with the parent tray that comes with cup holders and storage compartments.

The Joovy Qool Premium Pushchair Travel System Gray Big Caboose is another fantastic triple stroller. It comes with two forward-facing reclining car-seat compatible seats that will fit children up to 32 inches in height. The rear seat can be added to the stroller to create triple tandem, and includes the standard third seat for your eldest child. This model is especially well suitable for twins or siblings who are close in age, in which the older child will sit in the front seat, while the younger twin will sit in the rear seat.

Quad strollers are popular with parents. They are essentially double strollers with an extra seat at the back. While these models are not easy to maneuver in tight spaces, they do offer more seating options than the standard double. One good choice is the Foundations Trio Sport 4-Passenger Stroller Single which is affordable and has excellent reviews from parents who have used it.

Strollers are crucial for transporting your children and providing them with a a comfortable, safe place to relax in the move. When it's time to purchase a stroller, you need to be aware of the differences between double and single strollers so that you can choose the right model for your family. Whatever model you pick it is essential to look for an item that is compliant with US Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) standards and comes with an ergonomic handlebar that is comfortable to push and steer for long periods of time.
