Choosing a Stroller That's Right For You

A stroller is a four-wheeled and often collapsible, chairlike carriage in which small children are carried. It's a great way to go for a leisurely walk or run.

Kidsland offers a wide range of strollers that are dual and single. Our store best sellers include the Peg Perego Primo Viaggio 3-in-1 Convertible Car Seat/Stroller.

How to Select a Stroller

Strollers are a child's best friend. They let parents easily transport their kiddos around town, explore the great outdoors or navigate crowded shopping malls. It's crucial to pick the right stroller for your child and your family. To choose a stroller that's right for you, first consider where you'll be using it and how often. Do you need it to travel on difficult terrains or fit into a compact car trunk or maneuver through narrow doorways? Consider whether you'll be walking around the city or hiking in the woods. Once you've decided on the type of stroller you want and the features you want then it's time to test drive a few models.

Begin with some laps around the parking lot to become familiar with how it handles and maneuvers. If you intend to use it for jogging, test the durability of the wheels and how they perform on uneven pavements and bumps. Then, consider whether you require an extra storage basket to store essentials or a reclining chair for infants. Also, ensure that the handlebars are at a comfortable height to allow you to walk comfortably and that there's enough room in the seat for the child of your size.

If you plan to have more children in the near future you might be interested in a combi single stroller stroller that can be transformed into a double stroller or a stroller board for toddlers. Babylist parents tell us that one of their biggest stroller regrets is not purchasing a convertible model when they had the opportunity.

If you intend to use the stroller during rainy or other bad weather, make sure that accessories like sun umbrellas and rain covers are attached quickly and easily. Don't forget to think about safety. Look for a five-point harness that is easy to buckle and unlock and secure seating and robust brakes. Check the hinges for sharp edges or areas where a finger could be stuck. Make sure that the stroller is compliant with the safety standards of the state and local level. And lastly, test it out with your child to ensure that you are at ease.

Strollers for One Child

It is possible that you only need a single infant stroller stroller if you have only one child. These strollers are generally smaller than full-sized strollers and come with the same safety features. They also come with a large canopy that protects your child from wind and sun. They're also generally more flexible and have fewer parts that could break.

If your baby is small and is still in an infant car seat A stroller that is all-in-one with an infant carrier built-in could be the perfect choice for you. These strollers feature sturdy frames that can be used to accommodate several seats or even a second infant car seat that is attached to the base. They are generally simpler to use and cost less upfront than convertible or double strollers.

A stroller that is all-in-one is a great choice for older children. These strollers have a large and spacious basket that can hold your child's items and will fit most infant diaper bags. They're also easy to steer and are narrow enough to fit through a doorway or bathroom stall. They fold up easily and can be tucked away in a closet or behind the seat of the car for easy transport.

Consider a convertible stroller if you need a stroller that can grow with your family. They come with frames that can hold up to two toddler seats or even a bassinet (carriers and adapters sold separately). They're usually more expensive than single-seat strollers however, they're an excellent investment for families that want to travel light and are flexible in seating. The UPPAbaby Vista v2 is our top recommendation for a premium convertible stroller that comes with premium features and can accommodate up to three kids comfortably (age-dependent).

Strollers for Two Kids

If you have two small children it is necessary to transport both of them simultaneously. There are many different options, including tandems, side-byside strollers and wagons. Many of the dual-strollers that we tested could accommodate a second child's seat, or a third if you add a piggyback board (sold separately). Tandem strollers have more configurations for different ages and stages than side-by-side models however, they are typically larger in size and heavier in weight.

Parents of twins will want twin strollers that have the same seating arrangement as their children. They'll also require one that can fit two infant car seats at the same time, which is something that only a few of our best-rated double strollers have. A tandem stroller is ideal for twins that are similar in terms of age or abilities. However the seating arrangement depends on how far apart each twin is in age and what features they prefer.

In our tests, all of the tandem strollers we tested were easy to maneuver with a big turning radius. They did not turn as well in tight spaces as a single seat stroller-stroller and can be a challenge to navigate curbs. The majority of the strollers we tested fit through the majority of doors that are standard, but they might have a narrow aisle than a single stroller.

Some of the side-by-sides we tested had a second toddler's seat however, you could not switch them out and in. This is a great feature if your kids are at different age ranges. The UPPAbaby V2 Double was the exception to this rule. It allows you to effortlessly switch between double and single gb stroller mode using its convertible frame.

We've tested the top double strollers available. They're all spacious with storage space and let you keep both children within view. Some even have consoles for parents, which can be helpful in keeping track of your child's needs and wants. Some are priced at the same rate as our best single strollers, whereas others are more expensive.

Strollers for three children

You'll need a stroller that can accommodate all your children If you have three (or two older twins and a singleton). It's a big purchase, so shop around to find the right model for your family size, lifestyle and budget.

Try the Graco Ready2GrowLX three stroller if your looking for a stroller that can grow with your kids. It has an front bench seat designed to hold bassinets and infant car seats, and a rear seat that converts into a toddler's seat when the child reaches 6 months. The seat can be used to stand up for young children. It also comes with a parent tray that has cup holders and storage compartments.

Another great triple stroller option is the Joovy Big Caboose. It features two forward-facing, car seat seats that reclining, and will fit children up to 32 inches tall. You can also add the rear seat accessory to turn it into a triple tandem stroller, with a third standard seat for your child's oldest. This model is ideal for twins and siblings that are similar in age. The older child will sit on the front seat, whereas the younger one will be in the rear.

Many parents choose quad strollers, which is essentially double stroller that has an additional seat in the back. These models are not as easy to maneuver, but they offer more seating options compared to a standard double. One option is the Foundations Trio Sport 4-Person Stroller Single which is affordable and has great reviews from parents who have used it.

Strollers can be used to transport your children around and provide them with a safe and comfortable space to unwind when you're out. When you're ready to purchase a stroller, you'll need to understand the distinction between single and double strollers to select the most appropriate model for your family. It doesn't matter which model you pick it's important to choose a stroller with ergonomic handlebars that are comfortable to push and steer for long periods.
