How to Select a Stroller

Strollers are the best baby companions. They allow parents to easily take their children around town or explore the great outdoors or navigate the crowded malls. It's important to choose the best stroller for your child and your family. To select a stroller that's suitable for you, first consider where you'll be using it and how often. Will it need to traverse rough terrain, fit in a trunk for a car that's small, or maneuver through narrow doors? Also, think about whether you'll want to stroll with it in the city or out in the woods. After you've chosen the kind of stroller and features you want you can test drive different 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 test out how well they roll over bumps and uneven sidewalks. Decide if you want a storage basket for essentials or a recliner chair for infants. Also, ensure that the handlebars are a comfortable height to allow you to walk comfortably and that there's enough space in the seat to hold a child your size.

If you are planning to have more children in the future You might be interested in a single stroller which can be converted into a double stroller or a stroller board for toddlers. One of the most common stroller regrets for Babylist parents is not buying an convertible model.

Also, if you're planning to use the stroller during rain or other conditions that aren't ideal, look for accessories like sun canopies and rain covers that can be swiftly and easily attached. Also, make sure to check for a five-point harness system that's easy to unbuckle and buckle, a secure seat and sturdy brakes. Examine the hinges for any sharp edges or areas where a finger could be stuck. Check that the stroller meets the safety requirements of your state and local laws. Last but not least try it out with your kid to make sure you both are at ease.

Strollers for One Child

You may only need one stroller if have a single child. These strollers are usually smaller than full-sized models and have the same safety features that larger strollers have with a canopy that protects your baby from sun and wind. These strollers are also more maneuverable, and have fewer components to break.

If your child is still in an infant seat, a stroller with an infant carrier built in might be a good choice. These strollers are built with sturdy frames that can hold multiple seats or even an additional infant car seat attached to the base. They're usually easier to use than double or convertible strollers, and can cost less up front, too.

An all-in-one stroller can also be a good option for older infants. They typically come with large, spacious baskets that can hold your child's things and can accommodate the majority of diaper bags. They are also easily maneuverable and narrow enough to fit in the bathroom or doorway. They can also be folded and stored in the back of a car's seat or closet for easy transportation.

If you're looking for a stroller which can adapt to your growing 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). These strollers are typically more expensive than single-seaters, but they're a great option 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 our top pick for a high-end, convertible stroller with top features and can accommodate up to three kids comfortably (age-dependent).

Strollers for Two Kids

A double stroller will allow you to transport two children at once If you have more than one. There are many different options, including tandems, side-by-side strollers and wagons. Many of the dual strollers we tested can 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 levels and ages than side-byside models however, they are often larger in dimensions and heavier in weight.

Parents of twins will want a double stroller with the same seating arrangement as their children. They'll also require one that is able to accommodate two infant car seats simultaneously, which is something that only a handful of our top-rated double strollers can offer. Twins who are near in age or abilities might be better off with a tandem stroller, however the choice of seating style will depend on how far apart they are in age and what features they prefer.

In our tests, all the tandem strollers that we tested were easy to maneuver with a large turning radius. They didn't turn as smoothly in tight spaces as a single-stroller and can be a challenge to maneuver around curbs. The majority of the strollers we reviewed fit in the majority of doors, however they may have a more narrow aisle than one stroller.

Some of the side-by-sides that we tested included a second toddler's seat however, you could not swap them in and out. This would be useful if your kids are at different age ranges. The UPPAbaby V2 Double is an exception to this rule. It lets you easily switch between single and double mode with its convertible frame.

We've tested the top double strollers available. Most come with plenty of storage space and let you keep both children within your view. Some have parent consoles that can help you keep the track of your child's wants and needs. They are typically more expensive than a single stroller, however some are priced at prices that are comparable to or less than those of our top single strollers.

Strollers for Three Kids

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

The Joovy Big Caboose is another fantastic triple stroller Single. It comes with two car seat-compatible, forward-facing reclined seats that can accommodate kids up to 32 inches tall. The rear seat accessory can be added to the stroller, making it triple tandem, which includes an ordinary third seat for your eldest child. This model is perfect for twins and siblings that are close in age. The older child will be in the front seat, while the younger one will sit in the rear.

Quad strollers are popular with parents. They are essentially double strollers with an extra seat in the back. Although these strollers aren't difficult to maneuver in tight spaces, they do offer more seating options than the standard double.

Strollers are essential to transport your children and giving them an enjoyable, safe space to relax on the go.
