Choosing a Stroller

Strollers are a parent's best friend. They allow parents to easily transport their children around town, discover the outdoors, or go through busy shopping malls. However, choosing the best stroller for your child and your family's needs is vital to ensure a comfortable ride. To choose a stroller that's suitable for you, first consider where you'll use it and how often. Do you want it to go on difficult terrains, fit in a compact car trunk or navigate narrow doorways? Also, think about whether you'll take it on walks around the city or out in the woods. Once you've decided on the type of stroller and features you want, it's time to test some strollers.

Start by doing some laps in the parking lot. This will help you get accustomed to how it handles. If you'll be using it to run, test the tires for durability and test out how well they handle bumps and uneven sidewalks. Then, decide whether you'll need a storage basket to carry essentials or a recliner for infants. Be sure that the handlebars fit your stride comfortably and there's enough room for a child of your size in the seat.

If you are planning to have more children in the future You might think about a single stroller with standing board stroller that can be transformed into a double stroller or a stroller board for toddlers. One of the biggest stroller regrets for parents of Babylist is not buying convertible models.

Finally, if you'll be using the stroller in rain or other conditions that aren't ideal make sure you have accessories such as rain covers and sun canopies that can be swiftly and easily connected. Don't forget to think about safety. Make sure you have a five-point harness that is easy to buckle and unlock as well as a safe seating position and sturdy brakes. Also, check the hinges to make sure there aren't sharp edges or spots where a finger might be stuck. Then, make sure the stroller complies with the safety standards of the state and local level. Then make sure to test it with your child to ensure that you are comfortable.

Strollers for One Child

You may only require one stroller if you have just one child. These strollers are typically smaller than the larger ones and have the same safety features. They also have an enormous canopy that shields your child from the elements of wind and sun. These strollers are also more maneuverable, and they have fewer parts to break.

If your child is in an infant seat, a stroller with an infant carrier built-in could be a great option. These strollers are built with sturdy frames that can be used to hold more than one seat and even a second car seat. They're usually easier to use than convertible strollers or double strollers and may cost less upfront as well.

A stroller that's all-in-one is a great choice for older children. These strollers come with a large, spacious basket to hold your child's items and can fit most baby diaper bags. They are also easy to maneuver and are narrow enough to fit in the bathroom or doorway. Plus, they fold easily and can be tucked away in a closet or backseat of the car for quick transportation.

Consider a convertible stroller when you want a stroller to grow with your family. These strollers come with a base frame which can accommodate up to two toddler seats, or even a bassinet for a baby. (Adapters and carriers are sold separately). They're typically more expensive than single-seat strollers but they're a great investment for families who wish to travel light and have flexibility in seating. The UPPAbaby Vista v2 is our top recommendation for a high-end, convertible stroller that comes with premium features and can hold up to three children with ease (age-dependent).

Strollers for Two Children

If you have two young children, a double stroller is essential to help you transport them both simultaneously. There are a myriad of options available like tandems, side-by-sides, and wagons. Many of the dual-strollers that we tested can accommodate the second child's seat or a third one if you add a piggybackboard (sold separately). Tandem strollers come in more models to meet the needs of different ages and stages. However they tend to be heavier and bulkier than side-byside models.

Parents of twins will need a stroller with the same seating arrangements as their children, and they will likely require a stroller that is able to accommodate two infant car seats at the same time this is something that very few of our top single strollers-rated double strollers do. Twins who are near in age or capability may do better with a tandem stroller, however the type of seating will depend on how far apart they are in age and what features they prefer.

In our tests, all of the tandem strollers we tested were easy to maneuver and had a a large turning radius. However, they did not turn as easily as a single stroller in small spaces, and may be difficult to maneuver around curbs. The majority of side-byside strollers that we tested fit through standard doors. However, they could have a shorter aisle than a single fold pushchair-stroller.

Some of the side-by-sides we tested included an additional seat for toddlers however you couldn't swap them in and out. This could be beneficial in the event that your children are of different age groups. The UPPAbaby V2 Double is the exception to this rule. It lets you easily change between double and single seat stroller mode with its convertible frame.

Side-by-side strollers are among the most popular design in our double stroller category and we've tested some of the top options available on the market. They offer the convenience of keeping both children within reach at all times, and most have plenty of storage space for your items. Some even have consoles for parents, which can be helpful for keeping track of your child's requirements and desires. They are typically more expensive than a single stroller however, some come with price tags that are in line with or less than those of our top single strollers.

Strollers for three children

You'll need a stroller that can accommodate all your children If you have three (or two older twins and one singleton). This is a major purchase, so it's a good idea to shop around and look for a model that fits your lifestyle, family size and budget.

The Joovy Big Caboose is another great triple stroller. It has two forward-facing, reclining car-seat compatible seats that can fit children up to 32 inches in height. The rear seat accessory can be added to the stroller to make it triple tandem, which includes the standard third seat for your oldest child. This model is best designed for twins or other siblings of similar age, where the older child will sit in the front seat and the younger one will be in the rear seat.
