Choosing a Stroller That's Right For You

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

Kidsland has a large selection of single and double strollers. The Peg Perego PrimoViaggio 3-in-1 Car/Stroller is one of our top sellers.

Selecting a Stroller

Strollers are a baby's best friend--they allow parents to easily transport their kiddos around the city and explore the great outdoors or navigate crowded shopping malls. However, choosing the right stroller single for your child as well as your family's needs is essential for a smooth ride. To choose a stroller that's ideal for you, you must first think about where you'll use it and how often. Will it have to handle rough terrain, fit in a small car trunk or fit through narrow doors? Think about whether you'll be walking around the city or out in the woods. Once you've decided on the type of stroller you want and the features you want then it's time to test drive a few models.

Begin by running some laps around the parking lot. This will allow you to get used to how it handles. If you intend to use it for jogging, check the wheels' durability and how they perform on uneven and bumpy pavements. Decide if you want a storage basket for essentials or a reclining chair for newborns. Make sure that the handlebars can be positioned to allow you to walk comfortably and there is enough room for an infant of your size to sit in the seat.

If you're planning to have more children in the near future, you should consider investing in a single stroller that converts into a double or allows you to add a stroller board (for toddlers). One of the biggest stroller regrets for Babylist parents is not buying an convertible model.

If you'll be using the stroller during rain or other inclement weather, look for accessories like sun canopies and rain covers that can be quickly and easily connected. Be sure to consider safety. Make sure you have a five-point harness that is easy to buckle and unbuckle as well as a safe seating position and strong brakes. Also, check the hinges to ensure there aren't sharp edges or places where a small finger could become stuck. Also, ensure that the stroller is compliant with local and state safety standards. 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 have a single child. They are typically smaller than the larger models and have 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 they have fewer parts to break.

If your baby is small and is still in a car seat that is for infants, a stroller that has an integrated infant carrier could be the perfect choice for you. These strollers feature sturdy frames that can be used to accommodate multiple seats, or even a second infant car seat attached to the base. They are usually easier to use and cost less upfront than convertible or double strollers.

An all-in-one stroller could be a good option for older infants. These strollers have a large, spacious basket to carry your child's things and can accommodate most baby diaper bags. They are also easy to maneuver and are narrow enough to fit inside the bathroom doorway or stall. They can be folded up and stored in a car's back seat or in a closet for easy transport.

If you're looking for a stroller which can grow with your family, consider a convertible model. They come with frames that can accept two toddler seats or even a bassinet (carriers and adapters sold separately). They are generally more expensive than single-seaters but they're a great option when you're looking to travel light with your children and have flexibility in 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

If you have two small single stroller children, a double stroller is necessary to transport them both at the same time. There are many alternatives, such as side-by-side strollers, tandems 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 are available in a variety of models to meet the needs of different ages and stages. However they tend to be heavier and larger than side-by-side models.

Parents of twins would like a double stroller that has the same seating arrangement as their children. They'll also require one that can fit two infant car seats at the same time and this is something that only a handful of our top-rated double strollers offer. Twins who are similar in age or ability might be better off with the tandem stroller, but the type of seating will depend on the distance between them in age and the features they each prefer.

In our tests, we discovered that all of the tandem strollers we reviewed were easy to maneuver and had large turning radius. They did not turn as well in tight spaces as a single stroller and could be difficult to maneuver around curbs. Most of the side-by-side strollers we reviewed fit in most standard doors, but they may have a more narrow aisle than a single stroller.

A few strollers that we tested were compatible with a second toddler seat, however, they did not allow you to swap seats out and in, which would be helpful if your children are at different age groups. The UPPAbaby V2 Double is the exception to this rule. It lets you effortlessly switch between double and single fold pushchair mode with its convertible frame.

We've tested the best double strollers on the market. They're all spacious with storage space and let you keep both children within your view. Some even include consoles for parents, which can be helpful for keeping track of your kids' needs and wants. Some are priced at the same price as our best single strollers, but others are more expensive.

Strollers for Three Children

If you have three kids (or one singleton with two older twins) then you'll need a stroller that can accommodate all of them. This is a major purchase, so it's best 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 consider the Graco Ready2Grow LX. It comes with an front bench seat that is designed to accommodate bassinets or infant car seats, and a rear seat that converts into a toddler seat when the child is six months old. The seat can be used as a stand-up for children in preschool. It also comes with a parent tray with cup holders as well as storage compartments.

Another fantastic triple stroller is the Joovy Big Caboose. It comes with two car seat-compatible, forward-facing, reclining seats that fit children up to 32 inches tall. You can then add the rear seat accessory to turn it into a triple tandem stroller, with a third standard seat for your child's oldest. This model is best suited for twins or siblings who are close in age, where the older child will sit in the front seat and the younger twin will sit in the rear seat.

Quad strollers are popular with parents. They are essentially double strollers that have an additional seat at the back. These models are not as maneuverable but they offer more seating options compared to the standard double. One of the best options is the Foundations Trio Sport 4-Passenger Stroller, which is relatively inexpensive and has received excellent reviews from parents who have used it.

Strollers can be used to transport your children and give them a secure, comfortable place to relax while you're out. When it's time to buy a brand new stroller Single, be aware of the distinctions between single handle stroller and double strollers to find the right model for your family. No matter which model you pick, it is important to select a stroller that has ergonomic handlebars that are easy to steer and push for long periods of time.
