Choosing a Stroller

Strollers are a baby's best friend--they allow parents to easily take their kids around town, explore the great outdoors or navigate crowded shopping malls. It's crucial to pick the right stroller that suits your child and family. To select a stroller that's suitable for you, first consider where you'll be using it and how often. Do you need it to travel on difficult terrains and fit into a small car trunk or navigate narrow doors? Also, consider whether you'll stroll with it in the city or on hikes in the woods. After you've decided on the type of stroller and features you'd like to have you can try various models.

Start by doing a few laps in the parking lot. This will help you become accustomed to the way it handles. If you'll be using it to run, test the tires for durability and test out how well they roll over bumps and uneven sidewalks. Then, consider whether you'll need an extra storage basket to store essentials or a reclining seat for newborns. Also, ensure that the handlebars are a comfortable height for your stride and there's enough room in the seat to accommodate the child of your size.

If you are planning to have more children in the near future you might think about a single stroller with bench seat stroller that could be transformed into a double stroller or a stroller board for toddlers. One of the most common stroller regrets for Babylist parents is not purchasing a convertible model.

If you'll be using the stroller during rain or other weather conditions, look for accessories like sun canopies and rain covers that can be quickly and easily connected. Don't forget to think about safety. Make sure you have a five-point harness that is easy to buckle and unbuckle as well as a safe seating position and sturdy brakes. Also, examine the hinges to ensure there are no sharp edges or places where a small finger could get stuck. Check that the stroller meets the safety requirements of your state and local laws. Then, test it out with your kid to make sure that you both are at ease.

Strollers for One Child

You may only need one stroller if have a single child. They are typically smaller than the larger models and have the same safety features as larger strollers, including a large canopy to shield your child from sun and wind. These strollers are also more maneuverable and they have fewer components to break.

If your child is still in an infant seat, strollers that have an infant carrier built in is a good option. These strollers have strong frames that can accommodate multiple seats or even an additional infant car seat that is attached to the base. They are usually easier to use and are less expensive upfront than double or convertible strollers.

A stroller that is all-in-one can be a good choice for older babies. They typically come with an enormous, spacious basket that can hold the child's items and fit the majority of diaper bags. They're also simple 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 when you need a stroller that can grow with your family. They come with a base frame that can accept up to two toddler seats or even an infant bassinet (carriers and adapters are sold separately). They are generally more expensive than single-seaters, however they are a great investment when you're looking to move around with your kids in a light manner and can be adapted to seating. The UPPAbaby Vista V2 is our top choice for a premium convertible stroller that comes with premium features and can carry up to three kids with ease (age-dependent).

Strollers for Two Children

A double stroller can assist you in transporting two children at the same time if you have more than one. There are many options, such as tandems, side-by sides, and wagons. Many of the dual-strollers that we tested could accommodate an additional child's seat or a third, if you add a piggybackboard (sold separately). Tandem strollers have 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 need a stroller that offers the same seating options as their children, and they likely will require a stroller that is able to accommodate two infant car seats simultaneously, something that very few of our top-rated double strollers do. A tandem stroller is ideal for twins that are similar in age or capability. However the seating layout depends on the distance the twins are in their ages Pushchairs And Prams the features they like best.

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

Some of the side-by-sides that we test had a second toddler's seat however, you could not swap them in and out. This would be useful for families with children of different ages. The UPPAbaby Vista V2 Double is an exception to this rule, and it allows you to easily switch between double and single mode using its convertible frame.

Side-by-side strollers are the most popular style in our double stroller category and we've tested a few of the most effective options on the market. They provide the convenience of keeping both children in sight at all times, and most have plenty of storage space for your items.

They're generally more expensive than a single stroller, however some are priced at prices that are in line with or less than those of our top single strollers.

Strollers for Three Children

Another excellent triple stroller option is the Joovy Big Caboose. It comes with two car seat-compatible, forward-facing reclined seats that can accommodate children who are 32 inches or more tall. The rear seat can be added to the stroller to make it a triple tandem, with an ordinary third seat for your eldest child. This model is best designed for twins or other siblings close in age, where the older one will ride in the front seat and the younger child will be in the rear seat.
