Selecting a Stroller
Strollers are the best baby companions. They allow parents to easily transport their children around town, explore the great outdoors or navigate crowded shopping malls. But choosing the best stroller for your child and family's needs is essential to ensure a comfortable ride. To choose a stroller that's ideal for you, you must first consider where you'll be using it and how often. Do you need it to travel on rough terrain or fit into a compact car trunk or navigate narrow doorways? Think about whether you'll be walking in the city or out in the woods. Once you've settled on the type of stroller you want and features you'd like you can try various models.
Begin by doing some laps around the parking lot. This will allow you to get used to the way it moves. If you're planning to use it to jog, check the wheels for wear and see how they move over bumps and uneven sidewalks. Decide if you want a storage basket for essentials or a recliner chair for newborns. Make sure the handlebars fit your stride comfortably and there is enough space for an infant of your size to sit in the seat.
Next, if you're planning to have more children in the near future, think about purchasing one stroller that can be converted into a double, or allows you to add a stroller board (for toddlers). One of the most common stroller regrets of Babylist parents is not purchasing convertible models.
Finally, if you're planning to use the stroller during rain or other weather conditions make sure you have accessories such as sun canopies and rain covers that can be quickly and easily attached. And don't forget about safety--check for a five-point harness that is easy to unbuckle and buckle as well as a safe seat and robust brakes. Also, look over the hinges to make sure there aren't sharp edges or spots where a small finger could become stuck. Also, ensure that the stroller is compliant with the safety standards of the state and local level. Finally, try it out with your child to make sure you're both comfortable.
Strollers for One Child
You may only need one stroller if you have a single child. These strollers are generally smaller than the larger ones and come with the same safety features. They also come with a large canopy that shields your child from wind and sun. These strollers are also more maneuverable and they have fewer components to break.
If your baby is young and still in a car seat that is for infants, an all-in-one stroller with an integrated infant carrier could be the best option for you. These strollers are made with sturdy frames that can accommodate several seats and even a second baby car seat. They are generally easier to use and are less expensive upfront than convertible or double strollers.
An all-in-one stroller can also be a good choice for older children. These strollers come with a large and spacious basket that can carry your child's things and can fit most baby diaper bags.

Many of the dual-strollers that we tested could accommodate the second child's seat or a third, if you include a piggyback board (sold separately). Tandem strollers have more configurations for different ages and stages than side-by-side models, but they are also often larger in size and heavier in weight.
Parents of twins would like a double stroller with the same seating arrangement as their children. They'll also need one that can accommodate two infant car seats at once and this is something that only a handful of our top-rated double strollers have. Twins who are close in age or capability may do better with the 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 of the tandem strollers that we tested were easy to maneuver and had a large turning radius. They didn't turn as well in tight spaces as a single-stroller and it could be difficult to maneuver around curbs. The majority of side-by-side strollers we tested could fit through standard doors. However, they could have a shorter aisle than a single-stroller.
Some of the side-by-sides we tested had an additional seat for toddlers, but you couldn't swap them in and out. This would be useful if your kids are at different age ranges. The UPPAbaby Vista V2 Double is an exception to this rule and it lets you easily switch between single and double mode by using its convertible frame.
