Choosing a Stroller That's Right For You

A stroller is a four-wheeled, often collapsible, chairlike carriage that allows small children to be carried. It's a great option to enjoy a leisurely run or stroll in the park.

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.

The choice of a Stroller

Strollers are a baby's best friend--they let parents easily transport their kids around town, go on adventures in the great outdoors or navigate the crowded malls. But choosing the best stroller for your child and your family's needs is crucial to a smooth ride. Think about where and how often you will use the stroller to select one that is right for you. Will it need to take on rough terrain, 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. After you've identified the type of stroller Single you want and the features you need, it's time to test drive a few models.

Begin by doing a few laps in the parking lot. This will help you get accustomed to how it handles. If you'll be using it for jogging, test the wheels for durability and test out how well they roll over bumps and uneven sidewalks. Consider if you'd like an essentials storage basket or a recliner chair for infants. Also, ensure that the handlebars are at an appropriate height to allow you to walk comfortably and that there's enough space in the seat for the child of your size.

If you're planning on having more kids in the future, consider investing in one 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 purchasing an convertible model.

If you plan to use the stroller during the rainy season or other weather conditions, make sure that accessories such as rain covers and sun umbrellas are attached quickly and easily. Don't forget safety. Check for a five-point harness system that is easy to buckle and unbuckle and secure seating and robust brakes. Also, look over the hinges to make sure there are no sharp edges or places where a small finger could become stuck. Then, make sure the stroller meets the safety standards of the state and local level. Then, test it with your child to make sure you're both in a good place.

Strollers for One Child

You may only need one stroller if have just one child. These strollers are typically smaller than full-sized strollers and have the same safety features. They also come with a large canopy that shields 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 a built-in infant carrier might be the perfect choice 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 are generally easier to use and are less expensive in the beginning than convertible or double strollers.

A stroller that's all-in one can be a great option for older children. These strollers come with a large and spacious basket that can hold your child's items and can accommodate most baby diaper bags. They're also easy to steer and are narrow enough to fit through a bathroom stall. They can be folded up and stored in a car's back or closet for quick transport.

Consider a convertible stroller when you want a stroller to grow with your family. They come with a base frame which can accommodate up to two toddler seats, or even a bassinet for a baby. (Adapters and carriers are available separately). These strollers are usually more expensive than single-seaters but are a great investment for those who want to travel light with your children and can be adapted to seating. The UPPAbaby Vista V2 is a convertible stroller with top features that can hold up to three children (age-dependent).

Strollers for Two Children

A double stroller will assist you in transporting two children at a time if you have more than one. There are a myriad of options available like tandems, side-by-sides, and wagons. A majority of the dual-strollers we tested can accommodate a second child's seat, or a third if you include a piggyback board (sold separately). Tandem strollers come with more options for different age groups and stages than side-by-side models, but they are also generally larger in dimensions and heavier in weight.

Parents of twins want a double stroller that has the same seating arrangement as their children. They'll also need one that can accommodate two infant car seats at once, which is something that only a handful of our top-rated double strollers can offer. Twins who are similar in age or abilities may do better with a tandem stroller, but the seating arrangement will depend on how far apart they are in terms of age and what features each prefers.

In our tests, all the tandem strollers that we tested were easy to maneuver with a large turning radius. However, they didn't turn as smoothly as a single stroller in small spaces and could be difficult to maneuver around curbs. The majority of the strollers we tested fit through the majority of doors, however they may have a more narrow aisle than a single stroller.

Some of the side-by-sides that we test had a second toddler's seat, but you couldn't swap them in and out. This would be useful if your kids are at different ages. The UPPAbaby Vista Double is an exception to this rule, and it allows you to easily change between double and single mode using its convertible frame.

We've tested the top double strollers on the market. They provide the convenience of keeping both children in sight at all times, and most come with plenty of storage space for your gear. Some even have parent consoles that can be useful in keeping track of your children's requirements and desires. Some are priced at the same cost as our top single strollers, whereas others are more expensive.

Strollers for three children

If you have three children (or one singleton and two older twins), you'll need a stroller that can fit all of them. It's a major purchase, so do your research to find a model that is suitable for your family's size and lifestyle as well as your budget.

For a triple stroller that can grow with your children look into the Graco Ready2Grow LX. It comes with a front-facing seat that can be used to hold bassinets for infants or car seats and a back bench seat that converts to a toddler seat for children who are over 6 months of age. The seat can be used as a stand-up for young children. It also includes a tray for parents that has cup holders and storage compartments.

The Joovy Big Caboose is another great triple stroller single. It comes with two car-seat-compatible forward-facing, reclining seats that fit children up to 32 inches tall. It is possible to add the rear seat accessory to transform it into a triple tandem stroller, with a third regular seat for your child's oldest. This model is particularly suitable for twins or siblings close in age, in which the older child will be in the front seat while the younger child will be in the rear seat.

Quad strollers are popular with parents. They are essentially double strollers with an extra seat in the back. While they aren't easy to maneuver in tight spaces, they do offer more seating options than the standard double. One of the best options is the Foundations Trio Sport 4-Passenger Stroller, which is relatively affordable and has excellent reviews from parents who have used it.

Strollers are essential for transporting your children around and offering them a comfortable, safe place to rest while on the go. When it's time to buy a stroller, you need to know the difference between double and single handle stroller strollers in order to choose the best model for your household. It doesn't matter what model you choose it's important to select a stroller that has ergonomic handlebars that are comfortable to steer and push for long periods.
