Choosing a Stroller That's Right For You

A stroller is a four-wheeled and often collapsible, chairlike carriage that allows small children to be being pushed. It is a wonderful way to enjoy a relaxing walk or run outside.

Kidsland offers a wide selection of single stroller pushchair and double strollers. Our store best sellers include the Peg Perego Primo Viaggio 3-in-1 Convertible Car Seat/Stroller.

The choice of a Stroller

Strollers can be 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, selecting the right stroller for your child and family's needs is essential to ensure a comfortable ride. Consider where and how often you'll be using the stroller before selecting one that is suitable for you. Will it have to handle rough terrain, fit into a trunk for a car that's small or fit through narrow doors? Also, think about whether you'll need to take it on walks around the city or out in the woods. After you've chosen the type of stroller and features you want, you can test drive various models.

Begin by taking some laps around the parking area to familiarize yourself with the way it handles and maneuvers. If you're planning to use it to jog, check the wheels for durability and test out how well they roll over bumps and uneven sidewalks. Consider if you'd like a basket to store your essentials or a reclining seat for newborns. Make sure the handlebars can be positioned to allow you to walk comfortably and there is enough room for the child of your size to sit in the seat.

Next, if you're planning on having more kids in the near future, think about buying a Single Pushchair sale stroller that converts into a double or allows you to add a stroller board (for toddlers). Babylist parents tell us that one of their biggest regrets with strollers is not having a convertible model when they had the opportunity.

Also, if you'll be using the stroller in rain or other weather conditions consider accessories such as sun canopies and rain covers that can be swiftly and easily connected. And don't forget about safety--check for a harness with five points that's easy to buckle and unbuckle with a secure seat, as well as robust brakes. Check the hinges for sharp edges or places where a finger could be caught. Then, make sure the stroller complies with local and state safety standards. Last but not least make sure to test it with your kid to ensure that you feel comfortable.

Strollers for One Child

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

If your child is in an infant car seat, strollers that have an infant carrier built in could be a great option. These strollers are made with sturdy frames that can hold more than one seat, or even a second car seat. They are generally simpler to use and cost less in the beginning than convertible or double strollers.

An all-in-one stroller could be a good option for older children. They typically come with a big, spacious basket that can accommodate the child's items and fit most diaper bags. They're also simple to steer and narrow enough to pass through a doorway or 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 want a stroller to grow with your family. They come with a base frame that can accommodate up to two toddler seats or even an infant bassinet (carriers and adapters sold separately). They are generally more expensive than single-seaters, but are a great investment when you're looking to travel light with your children and are able to accommodate a variety of seating. The UPPAbaby Vista V2 is our top choice for a high-end, convertible stroller that offers premium features and can hold up to three children comfortably (age-dependent).

Strollers for Two Children

If you have two small children it is a must to transport both of them at the same time. There are a variety of options including tandems, side-by-sides and wagons. Many of the dual-strollers we tested could accommodate the second child's seat or a third one if you include a piggyback board (sold separately). Tandem strollers are available in different models to meet the needs of different ages and stages. However, they are often heavier and bulkier than side-byside models.

Parents of twins will need a stroller that has the same seating options as their children. They likely will require a stroller that can accommodate two infant car seats at the same time this is something that very few of our top-rated double strollers do. Twins who are close in age or capability may do better with a tandem stroller, however the seating arrangement will also depend on the distance between them in age and the features they each prefer.

In our tests, all tandem strollers we tested were easy to maneuver and had a large turning radius. They didn't turn as smoothly in tight spaces as a single stroller and can be a challenge to navigate curbs. The majority of the strollers we reviewed fit in most standard doors, but they might have a narrow aisle than one stroller.

Some side-by-side strollers we tested could be used with the second toddler seat but they didn't allow you to swap the seats in and out which could be beneficial when your children are of different age ranges. The UPPAbaby V2 Double is the exception to this rule. It lets you easily change between double and single mode with its convertible frame.

Side-by-side strollers are by far the most popular design in our double Stroller Single category, and we've tested some of the best options that are available. They offer the convenience of keeping both kids within sight at all times, and come with plenty of storage space for your items. Some include parent consoles that can help you keep the track of your child's wants and needs. They're typically more expensive than a single stroller, however some are priced at prices that are in line with or less than those of our best single strollers.

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 significant purchase, so it's wise to look around and search for a model that is suited to your family's size, style of living and budget.

If you're looking for a triple stroller that can grow with your children consider the Graco Ready2Grow LX. It comes with a front bench seat that is designed to accommodate bassinets or infant car seats, and the rear seat converts into a toddler seat once the child reaches 6 months. The seat can also be used as a standing platform for children in preschool, and you can use the tray for parents that comes with cup holders and storage compartments.

Another great triple stroller option is the Joovy Big Caboose. It features two forward-facing, reclined car seats that can accommodate children as tall as 32 inches in height. You can then add the rear seat accessory to convert it into a triple tandem stroller, with a third standard seat for your child's oldest. This model is best suitable for twins or siblings who are close in age, where the older child will be in the front seat while the younger one will be in the rear seat.

Quad strollers are popular with parents. They are basically double strollers with an extra seat at the back. These models are not as maneuverable however they do provide more seating options to a standard double. The Foundations Trio Sport 4 Passenger Stroller is a great choice. It's a bit pricey and has received a lot of praise from parents.

Strollers are essential for transporting your children and giving them a comfortable, safe place to relax in the move. However, when it's time to purchase a new stroller, be aware of the differences between single and double strollers to choose the best model for your family. Whatever model you pick it's important to choose an item that is compliant with US Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) standards and has an ergonomic handlebar that is comfortable to push and steer for long durations of time.
