How to Select a Stroller

Strollers are the perfect companion for parents. They allow parents to easily transport their children around town, discover the outdoors, or go through busy shopping malls. It's important to choose the right stroller that suits your child and your family. Think about where and how often you will use the stroller to choose one that is appropriate for you. Do you need it to navigate rough terrain, fit into a small car trunk or fit through narrow doors? Consider whether you'll be walking around the city or out in the woods. Once you've determined the stroller type and features you need you can test some strollers.

Begin with a few laps around the parking lot to familiarize yourself with how it handles and moves. If you plan to use it to run, test the tires for durability and check how they move over bumps and uneven sidewalks.

Make sure the handlebars are able to fit your stride comfortably and there's enough space for the child of your size to sit in the seat.

If you're planning to have more children in the near future, think about purchasing one stroller that converts into a double, or allows you to add a stroller board (for toddlers). One of the biggest stroller regrets for parents of Babylist is not buying a convertible model.

Also, if you'll be using the stroller in rain or other conditions that aren't ideal, look for accessories like sun canopies and rain covers that can be swiftly and easily attached. Also, make sure to check for a five-point harness system that is easy to unbuckle and buckle as well as a safe seat and robust brakes.

Finally, try it out with your child to ensure that you're both at ease.

Many of the double strollers we tested are able to accommodate an additional child seat or even a third one if you include a ride-along board that piggybacks (sold separately).
