How to Choose a Stroller

Strollers are a baby's best friend--they allow parents to easily transport their kids around the city and take them to the great outdoors, or navigate crowded shopping malls. It is crucial to select the best single pushchair stroller for your child and your family. To pick a stroller suitable for you, first consider where you'll be using it and how often. Do you want it to go on rough terrain or fit into a compact car trunk, or navigate narrow doorways? Think about whether you'll be walking around the city or hiking in the woods. After you've chosen the type of stroller you want and features you'd like to have you can test drive several models.

Start by doing some laps in the parking lot. This will allow you to get used to how it handles. If you plan to use it for jogging, check the durability of the wheels and how well they roll on uneven and bumpy pavements. Choose if you'd like a basket to store your essentials or a recliner chair for newborns. Make sure that the handlebars fit your stride comfortably and there is enough room for an infant of your height in the seat.

If you are planning to have more children in the near future You might think about a single wheel stroller stroller which can be transformed into a double stroller, or 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're planning to use the stroller in rain or other weather conditions, look for accessories like sun canopy and rain covers that can be quickly and easily connected. Don't forget safety. Check for a five-point harness system that is easy to buckle and unbuckle and secure seating and strong brakes. Also, check the hinges to make sure there are no sharp edges or places where a finger might be stuck. Then, make sure the stroller complies with the safety standards of the state and local level. Finally, try it out with your child to ensure you're both in a good place.

Strollers for One Child

You may only need one stroller if you have just one child. They are typically smaller than the larger models and come with the same safety features as larger strollers with a canopy to shield your child from wind and sun. These strollers are also more maneuverable, and have fewer components to break.

If your child is in an infant seat strollers that have an infant carrier built-in might be a good choice. 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 generally simpler to use and are less expensive upfront than double or convertible strollers.

A stroller that is all-in-one can be a great option for older children. These strollers usually have large, spacious baskets that can accommodate the child's items and fit the majority of diaper bags. They are also easily maneuverable and narrow enough to fit into a bathroom stall or doorway. Plus, they fold easily and can be tucked away in a closet or the backseat of the vehicle for easy transport.

Consider a convertible stroller if want a stroller to grow with your family. These strollers have an aluminum frame that can accommodate up to two toddler chairs or even a bassinet (carriers and adapters sold separately). These strollers are typically more expensive than single-seaters, however they are a great investment when you're looking to move around with your kids in a light manner and have flexibility in seating. The UPPAbaby Vista v2 is a convertible stroller with top features that can fit up to three children (age-dependent).

Strollers for Two Children

A double stroller can help you transport two children at a time If you have more than one. There are many options available, including side-by-side strollers, tandems and wagons. A majority of the dual strollers we tested can accommodate two child seats, or even a third when you add a piggyback ride-along board (sold separately). Tandem strollers offer more configurations for different ages and stages than side-by-side models however they are often 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 need one that can accommodate two infant car seats at once which is something only a handful of our best-rated double strollers offer. Twins who are close in age or ability may do better with a tandem stroller, but the seating arrangement will also depend on the distance between them in age and what features they prefer.

In our tests, we discovered that 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 navigate curbs. The majority of side-by-side strollers we tested fit through standard doors. However, they might have a narrower aisle than a single stroller.

Some of the side-by-sides that we tested had a second toddler's seat however, you could not switch them out and in. This could be beneficial in the event that your children are of different age groups. The UPPAbaby Vista Double is an exception to this rule and allows you to easily switch between double and single lightweight stroller mode using its convertible frame.

Side-by-side strollers are among the most popular style in our double stroller category and we've tested a few of the top options available on the market. They are convenient for keeping both kids within sight at all times, and most have plenty of storage space for your gear. Some include consoles for parents, which can be helpful in keeping track of your children's requirements and desires. Some are priced at the same cost as our top single sit and stand stroller strollers, but others are more expensive.

Strollers for Three Kids

You'll need to find the perfect stroller for your children If you have three (or two older twins and a singleton). This is a significant purchase, so it's wise to research and search for a model that will suit your family's size, lifestyle and budget.

The seat can be used as a stand-up for preschoolers. It also has a tray for parents with cup holders and storage compartments.

The Joovy Big Caboose is another great triple stroller. It has two car-seat-compatible, forward-facing reclined seats that can accommodate children who are 32 inches or more tall. You can also add the rear seat accessory to transform it into an all-in-one stroller with a third seat for your child's oldest. This model is perfect for twins and siblings who are similar in age. The older child will sit on the front seat, and the younger one will be in the rear.

Many parents opt for quad strollers which is essentially a double stroller with an additional seat in the back. Although these strollers aren't easy to maneuver in tight spaces, they do offer more seating options than the standard double. One option is the Foundations Trio Sport 4-Person Stroller, which is relatively affordable and has excellent reviews from parents who have used it.
