Choosing a Stroller That's Right For You

A stroller is a four-wheeled, usually collapsible, chairlike carriage in which small children are being pushed. It's an excellent way to take a relaxing run or stroll in the park.

Kidsland has a large selection of single and double 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 child's best friend. They let parents easily transport their children around the city, go on adventures in the great outdoors or navigate the crowded malls. However, selecting the right stroller for your child and family's needs is vital for a smooth ride. To select a stroller that's ideal for you, you must first think about where you'll use it and how often. Will it need to take on rough terrain, fit in a compact car trunk or maneuver through narrow doors? Consider whether you'll be taking it on city walks or hiking in the woods. After you've identified the type of stroller and features you want, it's time to test the various models.

Start by doing some laps in the parking lot. This will help you get accustomed to how it handles. If you intend to use it for jogging, check the durability of the wheels and how they perform on uneven and bumpy pavements. Decide if you want an essentials storage basket or a recliner chair for newborns. Also, ensure that the handlebars are at an appropriate height for your stride and that there's enough space in the seat to hold the size of a child.

If you're planning to have more children in the future you might want to consider 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.

Finally, if you're planning to use the stroller in the rain or other inclement weather consider accessories such as sun canopy and rain covers that can be quickly and easily attached. Don't forget to look for a harness with five points that's easy to buckle and unbuckle as well as a safe seat and robust brakes. Check the hinges for sharp edges or areas where a finger might get caught. Also, ensure that the stroller complies with the safety standards of the state and local level. Then, test it out with your child to make sure you both feel at ease.

Strollers for One Child

If you have one child and only one stroller, a single model could be all you need. These strollers are usually smaller than larger models and come with the same safety features as larger strollers with a canopy to protect your baby from the sun and wind. These strollers are also more maneuverable and they have fewer parts to break.

If your baby is still young and still in a car seat for infants, an all-in-one stroller with an integrated infant carrier could be the best single stroller option for you. These strollers are built with sturdy frames that can accommodate multiple seats, or even a second infant car seat attached to the base. They're generally more user-friendly than convertible strollers or double strollers, and can cost less up front and also, more affordable.

A stroller that is all-in-one can be a great option for older children. They typically come with large, spacious baskets that can accommodate the child's items and fit the majority of diaper bags. They're also easy to steer and narrow enough to pass through a doorway or bathroom stall. They can also be folded and stored in the back of a car's seat or in a closet for easy transport.

If you're looking for a stroller which can adapt to your growing family, consider a convertible model. These strollers come with an aluminum frame that can accommodate up to two toddler seats, or even a baby bassinet. (Adapters and carriers are available separately). They're typically more expensive than single-seat strollers, but they're a great investment for families that want to move around with ease and are flexible in terms of 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 Children

A double stroller can allow you to transport two children at the same time when you have more than one. There are many options available, including tandems, side-byside strollers and wagons. A majority of the dual-strollers we tested can accommodate the second child's seat or a third, if you include a piggyback board (sold separately). Tandem strollers are available in different models to meet the needs of different levels of ages and ages. However they tend to be heavier and bulkier than side-byside models.

Parents of twins will want a double stroller with the same seating arrangement as their children. They'll also require one that can fit two infant car seats simultaneously and this is something that only a few of our top-rated double strollers can offer. A tandem stroller is the best for twins who are comparable in age or ability. However, the seating style also depends on how far apart each twin is and what features they prefer.

In our tests, all tandem strollers that we tested were easy to maneuver with large turning radius. They did not turn as smoothly in tight spaces as a single sit and stand stroller stroller and could be difficult to navigate curbs. The majority of the strollers we tested fit through the majority of doors that are standard, but they may have a more narrow aisle than one stroller.

Some side-by-side strollers we tested worked with an additional toddler seat, however, they did not allow you to swap seats between the two, which would be helpful for children who are at opposite ages. The UPPAbaby V2 Double is an exception to this rule. It lets you effortlessly switch between single gb stroller and double mode with its convertible frame.

We've compared the top double strollers available. They offer the convenience of keeping both children in sight at all times, and have plenty of storage space for your equipment. Some have parent consoles that aid in keeping track of your child's wants and requirements. Some are priced at the same price as our top single strollers, while others are more expensive.

Strollers for three children

If you have three kids (or a singleton and two older twins) you'll require a stroller that can accommodate all of them. It's a major purchase, so do your research to find a model that suits your family size, lifestyle and budget.

Try the Graco Ready2GrowLX three stroller if your looking for a stroller that can grow with your kids. It has a front seat that can hold bassinets for infants or car seats and a back bench seat that converts to a toddler's seat for children over six months old. The seat can be used as a stand-up for young children. It also comes with a parent tray with cup holders and storage compartments.

Another excellent triple stroller option is the Joovy Big Caboose. It comes with two car-seat-compatible forward-facing reclined seats that will fit children who are 32 inches or more tall. You can then add the rear seat accessory to transform it into a triple tandem stroller single (Read More Here), with a third regular seat for your child's oldest. This model is particularly suited for twins or siblings who are close in age, in which the older child will be in the front seat and the younger twin will sit in the rear seat.

Quad strollers are a favorite among parents. They are essentially double strollers with an extra seat at the back. These models are not as easy to maneuver, but they offer more seating options compared to a regular double. The Foundations Trio Sport 4 Passenger Stroller is a good option. It's a bit pricey and has received excellent reviews from parents.

Strollers are essential for transporting your children around and offering them the safety and comfort they need to rest while traveling. But when it comes time to purchase a new stroller, you should know the differences between double and single strollers to find the right model for your family. Regardless of which model you choose, it's always important to choose a stroller that meets US Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) standards and features an ergonomic handlebar that is easy to push and steer for long periods of time.
