How to Select a Stroller
Strollers are a child's best friend. They let parents easily transport their children around the city or explore the great outdoors or navigate crowded shopping malls. It is crucial to select the right stroller for your child and family. Think about where and how often you'll use the stroller before selecting one that is right for you. Do you want it to go on difficult terrains and fit into a small car trunk or navigate narrow doorways? Consider whether you will be walking in the city or out in the woods. Once you've decided on the type of stroller you want and the features you require you can test some strollers.
Begin by running a few laps in the parking lot. This will allow you to get used to how it handles. If stroller single Push Chairs & Prams plan to use it to jog, check the wheels for durability and test out how well they move over bumps and uneven sidewalks. Consider if you'd like a storage basket for essentials or a recliner chair for infants. Be sure that the handlebars can be positioned to allow you to walk comfortably and there is enough space for the child of your size in the seat.
If you are planning to have more children in the future, you may be interested in a single stroller that could be converted into a double stroller or a stroller board for toddlers. Parents on Babylist say that one of their biggest regrets with strollers is not having an convertible model when they had the chance.
If you'll be using the stroller in rain or other weather conditions consider accessories such as rain covers and sun canopies that can be quickly and easily attached. Be sure to consider safety. Look for a five-point harness that is easy to buckle and unlock as well as a safe seating position and robust brakes. Also, examine the hinges to make sure there aren't sharp edges or places where a small finger could get stuck. Make sure that the stroller is compliant with the safety standards of the state and local level. And lastly make sure to test it with your kid to make sure that you both are at ease.
Strollers for One Child
If you have one child and only one stroller, a single model could be all you need. These strollers are usually smaller than full-sized models and come with the same safety features that larger strollers have with a canopy to protect your baby from sun and wind. They are also more flexible and have fewer parts that can break.
If your child is still in an infant car seat, a stroller with an infant carrier included might be a good choice. These strollers are built with sturdy frames that can be used to hold several seats and even a second car seat. They're typically more convenient to use than convertible or double strollers and might cost less upfront and also, more affordable.
A stroller that is all-in-one can be a good choice for older children. These strollers come with a large and spacious basket that can hold your child's items and will fit most infant diaper bags. They are also easily maneuverable and narrow enough to fit in the bathroom or doorway. They can be folded up and stored in the back of a car's seat or closet for easy transportation.
If you're looking for a stroller that can grow with your family, consider a convertible model. These strollers come with a base frame that can accept two toddler seats or even a bassinet (carriers and adapters are available separately). These strollers are typically more expensive than single-seaters but they're a great option when you're looking to move around with your kids in a light manner and have flexibility in seating. The UPPAbaby Vista v2 is our top pick for a premium convertible stroller that comes with premium features and can accommodate up to three kids comfortably (age-dependent).
Strollers for Two children
If you have two small children, a double stroller is a must to transport them both simultaneously. There are many options like tandems, side-by sides, and wagons. A majority of the dual-strollers we tested could accommodate an additional child's seat or a third, if you include a piggyback board (sold separately). Tandem strollers offer more configurations for different age groups and stages than side-by-side models, but they are also typically 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 require one that can fit two infant car seats at once and this is something that only a handful of our top-rated double strollers can offer. Twins who are similar in age or abilities may be better off using the tandem stroller, but the choice of seating style will depend on the distance between them in age and the features each prefers.
In our tests, all the tandem strollers that we tested were easy to maneuver and had a large turning radius. However, they did not turn as easily as a single stroller in small spaces, and may be difficult to navigate around curbs. Most of the strollers we tested fit through the majority of doors, however they might have a narrow aisle than a single stroller.
A few of the side-by sides we tested had an additional seat for toddlers however you couldn't switch them out and in. This would be useful for families with children of different age ranges. The UPPAbaby V2 Double was the exception to this rule. It lets you 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 best options on the market. They are convenient for keeping both children within reach at all times, and most come with plenty of storage space for your equipment. Some have parent consoles to help you keep track of your child's wants and needs. Some are priced at the same cost as our top single strollers, but others are more expensive.
Strollers for Three Kids
If you have three children (or one singleton and two older twins), you'll need a stroller that can accommodate all of them. It's a big purchase, so shop around to find a model that suits your family's size and lifestyle as well as your budget.
Try the Graco Ready2GrowLX three stroller if your looking for a stroller that will grow with your children. It comes with a front bench seat that is designed to accommodate bassinets or infant car seats, and a rear seat that converts into a toddler seat when the child reaches 6 months. The seat can be used as a platform that can be used as a standing one for toddlers and you can also use the parent tray that comes with cup holders and storage compartments.
Another excellent triple stroller option is the Joovy Big Caboose. It comes with two forward-facing reclined car seats that can fit children up to 32 inches tall. The rear seat accessory can be added to the stroller to create triple tandem, and includes an ordinary third seat for your oldest child. This model is perfect for twins and siblings who are close in age. The older child will sit on the front seat, while the younger child will be in the rear.
Quad strollers are a favorite among parents. They are basically double strollers with an additional seat at the back. While these models are not easy to maneuver in tight spaces, they do offer more seating options than a standard double. One good choice is the Foundations Trio Sport 4-Passenger Stroller which is affordable and has great reviews from parents who have used it.
Strollers are crucial for transporting your children around and offering them the safety and comfort they need to relax traveling. When it's time to buy a new stroller, you should know the differences between double and single strollers to find the right model for your family. Whatever model you choose it is essential to select an item that is compliant with US Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) standards and comes with an ergonomic handlebar that is easy to push and steer for long periods of time.
