Choosing a Stroller That's Right For You

Kidsland offers a variety of double and single strollers. Our top-selling items in the store are the Peg Perego Primo Viaggio 3-in-1 Convertible Car Seat/Stroller.
Selecting a Stroller
Strollers can be the best friend of parents. They allow parents to easily transport their children around town, discover nature or navigate busy shopping malls. However, choosing the right stroller for your child as well as your family's needs is vital to a smooth ride. To choose a stroller that's ideal for you, you must first consider where you'll use it and how often. Will it have to handle rough terrain, fit into a small car trunk or navigate through narrow doors? Also, consider whether you'll need to take it on walks around the city or out in the woods. Once you've determined the type of stroller and features you need then it's time to test some strollers.
Begin with a few laps around the parking lot to familiarize yourself with its handling and moves. If you'll be using it to run, test the tires for durability and check how they move over bumps and uneven sidewalks. Then, decide whether you require a basket for storage to carry essentials or a reclining seat for newborns. Make sure the handlebars fit your stride comfortably and there's enough space for a child of your size to sit in the seat.
Next, if you're planning on having more kids in the near future, you should consider buying one stroller that converts into a double, or allows you to add a stroller board (for toddlers). One of the most common stroller regrets for parents of Babylist is not purchasing a convertible model.
Also, if you'll be using the stroller in the rain or other weather conditions make sure you have accessories such as sun canopies and rain covers that can be quickly and easily attached. Don't forget safety. Look for a five point harness system that is easy to buckle and unlock, a secure seating position and robust brakes. Also, check the hinges to ensure there aren't sharp edges or spots where a tiny finger could get stuck. Also, ensure that the stroller meets the safety standards of your state and local authorities. Then, test it with your child to make sure you're both in a good place.
Strollers for One Child
It is possible that you only need one stroller if you have only one child. These strollers are usually smaller than full-sized models and have the same safety features as larger strollers, including a large canopy to protect your baby from the sun and wind. These strollers are also more maneuverable, and they have fewer components to break.
If Push Chairs And Prams is in an infant seat a stroller with an infant carrier built in could be a great option. These strollers have strong frames that can be used to accommodate multiple seats or even a second infant car seat that can be attached to the base. They are usually easier to use and cost less upfront than convertible or double strollers.
An all-in-one stroller can also be a great option for older babies. They come with a big, spacious basket to carry your child's things and can accommodate most baby diaper bags. They are also easy to maneuver and narrow enough to fit in the bathroom doorway or stall. Plus, they fold easily and can be put in a closet or the backseat of the car for quick transportation.
If you're seeking a stroller that can adapt to your growing family, consider a convertible model. These strollers come with an aluminum frame 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 option for families who want to travel light and have flexibility in terms of seating. The UPPAbaby Vista v2 is our top pick for a premium convertible stroller that offers premium features and can hold 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 both of them at the same time. There are many options available, including tandems, side-by-side strollers and wagons. A majority of the dual-strollers we tested could accommodate a second child's seat, or a third one if you add a piggybackboard (sold separately). Tandem strollers come with more options for different levels and ages than side-byside models however they are typically larger in dimensions and heavier in weight.
Parents of twins will want a double stroller with the same seating arrangement as their children. They'll likely require one that can fit two infant car seats simultaneously which is something only a few of our best-rated double strollers offer. Twins who are similar in age or abilities may be better off using a tandem stroller, but the type of seating will also depend on the distance between them in terms of age and what features each prefers.
In our tests, we found that all of the tandem strollers we reviewed were easy to maneuver and had a a wide turning radius. They did not turn as well in tight spaces as a single stroller and it could be difficult to navigate curbs. Most of the strollers we examined fit into the majority of doors, however they might have a narrow aisle than a single stroller.
Some of the side-by-sides that we tested had a second toddler's seat, but you couldn't switch them out and in. This could be beneficial for families with children of different ages. The UPPAbaby V2 Double is the exception to this rule. It lets you easily switch between double and single mode using its convertible frame.
We've tested the best double strollers available. They provide the convenience of keeping both kids within sight at all times, and come with plenty of storage space for your equipment. Some have parent consoles that aid in keeping the track of your child's wants and requirements. 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 with two older twins) then you'll need a stroller that will accommodate all of them. It's a big purchase, so shop around to find the right model for your family's size, lifestyle and budget.
If you're looking for a triple stroller that can grow with your children look into the Graco Ready2Grow LX. It has a front seat that can be used to hold bassinets for infants or car seats and a back bench seat that can convert to a toddler's seat for children up to six months old. The seat can also be used as a platform that can be used as a standing one for toddlers and can be used with the tray for parents that comes with cup holders and storage compartments.
The Joovy Big Caboose is another great triple stroller. It comes with two car seat-compatible, forward-facing reclined seats that will fit kids up to 32 inches tall. You can also add the rear seat accessory to transform it into an all-in-one stroller with a third standard seat for your oldest child. This model is best designed for twins or other siblings of similar age, in which 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 in the back. Although these strollers aren't difficult to maneuver in tight spaces, they offer more seating options than the standard double. One option is the Foundations Trio Sport 4-Person Stroller, which is relatively inexpensive and has received excellent reviews from parents who have used it.
Strollers can be used to transport your children around and offer them a safe and comfortable space to unwind while you're out. When you're ready to purchase a stroller, it is important to understand the distinction between single and double strollers in order to choose the best model for your household.
