How to Select a Stroller
Strollers are a baby's best friend--they allow parents to easily take their children around the city or go on adventures in the great outdoors or stroll through crowded malls. It's important to choose the right stroller for your child and your family. Think about where and how often you will use the stroller before selecting one that is suitable for you. Do you want it to go on difficult terrains or fit into a compact car trunk or maneuver through narrow doors? Think about whether you'll be walking around the city or hiking in the woods. Once you've decided on the stroller type and features you need you can test drive a few models.
Start by doing some laps in the parking lot. This will allow you to get used to the way it moves. If you plan to use it for jogging, test the tires for durability and see how they roll over bumps and uneven sidewalks. Then, decide whether you'll need a storage basket to carry essentials or a reclining chair for newborns. Be sure that the handlebars are able to fit your stride comfortably and there is enough space for a child of your height in the seat.
If you're planning on having more kids in the future, consider purchasing 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 buying an convertible model.
If you plan to use the stroller during rainy or other bad weather, make sure that accessories like sun umbrellas and rain covers can be attached quickly and easily. Don't forget to look for a five-point harness that's easy to buckle and unbuckle, a secure seat and sturdy brakes. Check the hinges for sharp edges or areas where a finger might be caught. Make sure the stroller is in compliance with the safety requirements of your state and local laws. Also, try it with your child to make sure you're both in a good place.
Strollers for One Child
You may only require one stroller if have only one child. They are typically smaller than full-sized models and have the same safety features that larger strollers have, including a large canopy that protects your baby from wind and sun. These strollers are also more maneuverable, and they have fewer parts to break.
If your baby is still young 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 are built with sturdy frames that can be used to hold multiple seats, or even a second car seat. They're typically more convenient to use than convertible strollers or double strollers and may cost less up front as well.
A stroller that's all-in-one is a great choice for older children. These strollers typically have a big, spacious basket which can be used to store your child's things and can fit most 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 transport.
Consider a convertible stroller if need a stroller that can grow with your family. They come with frames that can accommodate up to two toddler seats, or even a baby bassinet. (Adapters and carriers are sold separately). They're typically more expensive than single-seat strollers, but they're a great investment for families who wish to travel light and are flexible in terms of seating. The UPPAbaby Vista V2 is a convertible stroller with premium features that can accommodate up to three children (age-dependent).
Strollers for Two Children
A double stroller can allow you to transport two children at the same time If you have more than one. There are many alternatives, such as tandems, side-by-side strollers and wagons. Many of the dual-strollers we tested could accommodate the second child's seat or a third, if you add a piggyback board (sold separately). Tandem strollers come with more options for different age groups and stages than side-by-side models however they are often larger in dimensions and heavier in weight.
Parents of twins want a double stroller with the same seating arrangement as their children. They will also likely require one that is able to accommodate two infant car seats at the same time and this is something that only a few of our best-rated double strollers offer. A tandem stroller is the best for twins that are similar in age or capability. However, the seating style also is dependent on how far each twin is in age and which features they prefer.
In our tests, we observed that all the tandem strollers we reviewed were easy to maneuver and had large turning radius. They did not turn as well in tight spaces as a single stroller and can be a challenge to navigate curbs. The majority of the side-byside strollers that we tested could fit through doors that are standard. However, they might have a shorter aisle than a single stroller.
A few of the side-by sides we tested had the option of a second seat for toddlers however you couldn't swap them in and out. This would be useful for families with children of different age ranges. The UPPAbaby V2 Double is an exception to this rule. It allows you to effortlessly switch between single and double mode with its convertible frame.
We've compared the top double strollers available. They are convenient for keeping both children within reach at all times, and have plenty of storage space for your gear. Some have parent consoles that can help you keep track of your child's wants and requirements. Some are priced at the same rate as our top single strollers, while others are more expensive.
Strollers for Three Children
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 major purchase, so it's wise to look around and search for a model that will suit your lifestyle, family size and budget.
If you're looking for a triple stroller that can grow with your children consider the Graco Ready2Grow LX. It has a front seat that can accommodate bassinets or infant car seats as well as a rear bench seat that can be converted to a toddler's seat for children over 6 months of age. The seat can be used to stand 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 comes with two car-seat-compatible forward-facing, reclining seats that fit kids up to 32 inches tall. The rear seat accessory can be added to the stroller, making it triple tandem, and includes the standard third seat for your eldest child. This model is especially well suitable for twins or siblings of similar age, in which the older child will be in the front seat and the younger child will be in the rear seat.
Many parents choose a quad stroller, which is essentially double stroller with an additional seat in the back. These strollers aren't as easy to maneuver, but they offer more seating options compared to a standard double. One of the best options is the Foundations Trio Sport 4-Person Stroller Single which is affordable and has excellent reviews from parents who have used it.
Strollers are essential for transporting your children and providing them with a an enjoyable, safe space to relax traveling. When it's time to buy a stroller, it is important to know the difference between single hand fold stroller and double strollers so that you can choose the most appropriate model for your household. No matter which model you pick it's important to choose an item that is compliant with US Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) standards and features an ergonomic handlebar that is easy to push and steer for long periods of time.
