Choosing a Stroller That's Right For You A stroller is a four-wheeled, often folded, chair-like vehicle in which children are pushed. It's a great way to enjoy a leisurely run or walk outdoors. Kidsland has a large selection of single and double strollers. Our top-selling items in the store are the Peg Perego Primo Viaggio 3-in-1 Convertible Car Seat/Stroller. How to Choose a Stroller Strollers are a child's best friend. They allow parents to easily take their kiddos around town, take them to the great outdoors, or navigate crowded shopping malls. It's crucial to pick the right stroller for your child and your family. Consider the location and frequency you will use the stroller to choose one that is suitable for you. Do you need it to navigate rough terrain, fit into the trunk of a car that is small, or maneuver through doors that are narrow? Think about whether you'll be taking it on city walks or out in the woods. After you've decided on the type of stroller and features you want, you can test drive several models. Begin by running some laps around the parking lot. This will help you become accustomed to the way it handles. If you'll be using it for jogging, test the wheels for durability and check how they handle bumps and uneven sidewalks. Consider if you'd like an essentials storage basket or a reclining seat for newborns. Make sure the handlebars fit your stride comfortably and that there is enough room for an infant of your size in the seat. If you're thinking on having more kids in the near future, think about investing in a single stroller that converts into a double, or allows you to add a stroller board (for toddlers). One of the most common stroller regrets for Babylist parents is not purchasing convertible models. If you intend to use the stroller during rainy or other bad weather, make sure that accessories like rain covers and sun umbrellas can be attached quickly and easily. Also, make sure to check for a harness with five points that is easy to buckle and unbuckle with a secure seat, as well as sturdy brakes. Also, look over the hinges to ensure there are no sharp edges or spots where a tiny finger could get stuck. Make sure the stroller is in compliance with local and state safety regulations. Then, test it with your child to ensure you're both in a good place. Strollers for One Child You may only need a single stroller if you have just one child. They are typically smaller than full-sized models and have the same safety features that larger strollers have that include a large canopy to protect your baby from sun and wind. They're also often more flexible and have fewer parts that could break. If your child is still in an infant seat strollers that have an infant carrier included could be a great option. These strollers are made with sturdy frames that can be used to hold several seats or even a second baby car seat. They are usually easier to use and cost less upfront than double or convertible strollers. An all-in-one stroller can also be a great option for older infants. These strollers have a large wide basket that can hold your child's items and can fit most baby diaper bags. They are also easy to maneuver and narrow enough to fit in the bathroom or doorway. They can also be folded and stored in a car's back seat or in a closet for easy transport. If you're seeking a stroller that can adapt to your growing family, consider a convertible model. These strollers come with frames 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 travel light and have flexibility in seating. The UPPAbaby vista V2 is a stroller that can be converted with top features that can hold up to three children (age-dependent). Strollers for Two Children A double stroller can help you transport two children at once If you have more than one. There are a myriad of options available, such as tandems, side-by-sides and wagons. A majority of the dual-strollers we tested can accommodate the second child's seat or a third if you add a piggybackboard (sold separately). Tandem strollers have more configurations for different age groups and stages than side-by-side models however they are often larger in size and heavier in weight. Parents of twins will require a stroller that offers the same seating options as their children. They likely will require a stroller that is able to accommodate two infant car seats simultaneously this is something that very few of our top-rated double strollers do. Twins who are similar in age or abilities may be better off using a tandem stroller, but the choice of seating style will depend on the distance between them in age and the features they each prefer. In our tests, all the tandem strollers we tested were easy to maneuver and had a big turning radius. single pushchairs didn't turn as well in tight spaces as a single-stroller and it could be difficult to navigate curbs. The majority of the strollers we reviewed fit in the majority of doors that are standard, but they may have a more narrow aisle than a single stroller. Some of the side-by-sides that we tested included an additional seat for toddlers however you couldn't swap them in and out. This is a great feature if your kids are at different age ranges. The UPPAbaby V2 Double was the exception to this rule. It allows you to effortlessly switch between single and double mode by converting its frame. We've compared the top double strollers on the market. They're all spacious with storage space and allow you to keep both children within sight. Some even include parent consoles, which can be helpful for keeping track of your child's desires and needs. Some are priced at the same price as our top single strollers, but others are more expensive. Strollers for three children If you have three kids (or one singleton and two older twins) then you'll need a stroller that can fit all of them. This is a significant purchase, so it's wise to shop around and look for a model that will suit your family's size, lifestyle and budget. Try the Graco Ready2GrowLX triple stroller if you're looking for a stroller that can grow with your children. It comes with a front seat that can be used to hold bassinets or infant car seats and a back bench seat that converts into a toddler seat for children up to 6 months of age. The seat can be used as a stand-up for children in preschool. It also comes with a parent tray that has cup holders and storage compartments. Another great triple stroller option is the Joovy Big Caboose. It features two forward-facing, car seat seats that reclining, and can accommodate children as tall as 32 inches tall. You can also add the rear seat accessory to convert it into an all-in-one stroller with a third standard seat for your oldest child. This model is particularly suited for twins or siblings close in age, where the older one will ride in the front seat while the younger twin will sit in the rear seat. Quad strollers are a favorite among parents. They are basically double strollers with an extra seat in the back. These models aren't as maneuverable however they do provide more seating options to the standard double. The Foundations Trio Sport 4 Passenger Stroller is a great choice. It's relatively affordable and has received excellent reviews from parents. Strollers can be used to transport your children and offer them a safe and comfortable spot to relax while you're out. When it's time to buy a stroller, it is important to know the difference between single and double strollers so that you can choose the right model for your family. Whatever model you pick, it's always important to select an item that is compliant with US Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) standards and features an ergonomic handlebar that is comfortable to push and steer for long durations of time.
