How to Select a Stroller

Strollers are a child's best single jogging stroller friend. They allow parents to easily transport their kiddos around town or explore the great outdoors or navigate crowded shopping malls. It's crucial to pick the best stroller for your child and your family. 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 navigate rough terrain, fit in the trunk of a car that is small, or maneuver through doors that are narrow? Consider whether you will be walking in the city or hiking in the woods. Once you've determined the type of stroller you want and the features you require then it's time to test the various models.

Begin by running some laps in the parking lot. This will allow you to get used to how it handles. If you'll be using it to jog, check the wheels for wear and test out how well they move over bumps and uneven sidewalks. Decide if you want an essentials storage basket or a recliner chair for babies. Be sure that the handlebars fit your stride comfortably and there's enough room for the child of your height in the seat.

If you're thinking to have more children in the future, consider buying one stroller that can be converted into a double or allows you to add a stroller board (for toddlers). Babylist parents tell us that one of their biggest stroller regrets is not having a convertible model when they had the chance.

Finally, if you're planning to use the stroller in the rain or other inclement weather, look for accessories like rain covers and sun canopies that can be swiftly and easily connected. And don't forget about safety--check for a harness with five points that is easy to buckle and unbuckle, a secure seat and sturdy brakes. Examine the hinges for any sharp edges or places where a finger could get stuck. Check that the stroller meets the safety standards of the state and local authorities. Then, test it with your child to ensure you're both in a good place.

Strollers for One child

If you only have one kid and only one stroller, a single fold pushchair model could be all you require. These strollers tend to be smaller than full-sized strollers and come with the same safety features. They also come with an enormous canopy that shields your child from the sun and wind. They're also generally more flexible and have fewer parts that may break.

If your baby is young and is still in a car seat for infants, a stroller that has an infant carrier built-in could be the perfect choice for you. These strollers are made with sturdy frames that can be used to hold multiple seats or even a second baby car seat. They are generally simpler to use and are less expensive in the beginning than convertible or double strollers.

A stroller that is all-in-one can be a great option for older children. They come with a big and spacious basket that can hold your child's items and can accommodate most baby diaper bags. They are also easy to maneuver and are narrow enough to fit in the bathroom or doorway. Plus, they fold easily and can be tucked away in a closet or backseat of the vehicle for easy transportation.

Consider a convertible stroller if need a stroller that can grow with your family. These strollers have a base frame which 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, however, they're an excellent investment for families who want to travel light and are flexible in seating. The UPPAbaby vista v2 is a convertible stroller with top-quality features that can fit up to three children (age-dependent).

Strollers for Two Children

A double stroller will assist you in transporting two children at a time If you have more than one. There are many different options, including side-by-side strollers, tandems and wagons. Many of the dual-strollers we tested could accommodate a second child's seat, or a third one if you add a piggyback board (sold separately). Tandem strollers come in more designs to accommodate different age groups and stages. However they're generally heavier and larger than side-by-side models.

Parents of twins will require a stroller that offers the same seating options as their children, and they likely will require a stroller that is able to accommodate two infant car seats simultaneously which is something that only a handful of our top-rated double strollers can do. Twins who are similar in age or abilities may do better with the tandem stroller, but the seating arrangement will depend on the distance between them in terms of age and what features they each prefer.

In our tests, all the tandem strollers we tested were easy to maneuver with a large turning radius. However, they did not turn as easily as one stroller in narrow spaces and could be difficult to maneuver around curbs. Most of the side-by-side strollers we tested fit through most standard doors, but they might have a narrow aisle than a single stroller.

Some side-by-side strollers we tested were compatible with the second toddler seat but they didn't permit you to swap seats between the two this would be useful when your children are of opposite age ranges. The UPPAbaby Vista Double is an exception to this rule, and allows you to easily switch between double and single mode by using its convertible frame.

We've compared the top rated single strollers double strollers on the market. Most come with plenty of storage space and permit you to keep both children in your sight. Some even include parent consoles, which can be helpful for keeping track of your children's desires and needs. Some are priced at the same cost as our top single strollers, but others are more expensive.

Strollers for three children
