Choosing a Stroller That's Right For You

A stroller is a four-wheeled and often folded, chair-like vehicle in which small children are carried. It is a great way to enjoy a relaxing walk or run outdoors.

Kidsland offers a variety of single buggy with buggy board and dual strollers. The Peg Perego PrimoViaggio 3-in-1 car seat/stroller is one of our top sellers.

How to Select a Stroller

Strollers are a child's best friend. They allow parents to easily take their kiddos around the city and explore the great outdoors or stroll through crowded malls. However, choosing the best stroller for your child and family's needs is essential to a smooth ride. To pick a stroller ideal for you, you must first think about where you'll use it and how often. Do you want it to go on difficult terrains, fit in a compact car trunk or navigate narrow doorways? Think about whether you'll be taking it on city walks or out in the woods. Once you've settled on the type of stroller and features you want, you can test drive several models.

Start with a few laps around the parking lot to get familiar with the way it handles and maneuvers. If you're planning to use it for jogging, test the tires for durability and check how they handle bumps and uneven sidewalks. Consider whether you require a basket for storage to carry essentials or a reclining seat for infants. Also, make sure the handlebars are a comfortable height for your stride and that there's enough room in the seat to hold the child of your size.

If you're thinking 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 of Babylist parents is not buying convertible models.

Also, if you're planning to use the stroller during rain or other conditions that aren't ideal make sure you have accessories such as sun canopy and rain covers that can be quickly and easily connected. Don't forget safety. Look for a five-point harness that is easy to buckle and unlock as well as a safe seating position and strong brakes. Examine the hinges for any sharp edges or areas where a finger might be caught. Check that the stroller meets the safety standards of the state and local authorities. Finally, try it out with your child to ensure you're both comfortable.

Strollers for One Child

It is possible that you only need a single stroller if you have only one child. These strollers are typically smaller than the larger ones and have the same safety features. They also come with an enormous canopy that shields your baby from wind and sun. These strollers are also more maneuverable and they have fewer components to break.

If your child is in an infant car seat, strollers that have an infant carrier built-in is a good option. These strollers have strong frames that can accommodate several seats or even a second infant car seat that is attached to the base. They're typically more convenient to use than double or convertible strollers and might cost less upfront as well.

A stroller that's all-in-one can be a great option for older children. These strollers come with a large and spacious basket that can store your child's belongings and will fit most infant diaper bags. They're also easy to steer and narrow enough to pass through a doorway or bathroom stall. They fold up easily and can be stored in a closet or the backseat of the car for quick transport.

If you're looking for a stroller that can adapt to your growing family, consider a convertible model. These strollers come with an aluminum frame that can accommodate up to two toddler seats or even a baby bassinet. (Adapters and carriers are sold separately). They're generally more expensive than single-seat strollers, but they're a great option for families who want to travel light and have flexibility in seating. The UPPAbaby Vista v2 is our top recommendation for a top-quality convertible stroller with top features and can carry up to three kids easily (age-dependent).

Strollers for Two Kids

A double stroller can allow you to transport two children at the same time If you have more than one. There are many options, including 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 piggybackboard (sold separately). Tandem strollers come with more options for different age groups and stages than side-by-side models, but they are also typically larger in size and heavier in weight.

Parents of twins will require a stroller that has the same seating options as their children. They will probably also need a stroller that can accommodate two infant car seats simultaneously, something that very few of our top-rated double strollers offer. Twins who are close in age or capability may do better with a tandem stroller, but the type of seating will also depend on the distance between them in age and what features they prefer.

In our tests, all tandem strollers that we tested were easy to maneuver with large turning radius. However, they could not turn as easily as a single stroller in small spaces and could be difficult to maneuver around curbs. The majority of the strollers we examined fit into the majority of doors that are standard, but they might have a narrow aisle than a single stroller.

Some of the side-by-sides that we tested had an additional seat for toddlers, but you couldn't swap them in and out. This would be useful if your kids are at different age ranges. The UPPAbaby Vista Double is an exception to this rule and it allows you to easily change between double and single mode by using its convertible frame.

Side-by-side strollers are among the most popular style in our double stroller category and we've tested some of the best options on the market. Most have ample storage space and allow you to keep both children within view. Some even have parent consoles, which can be helpful for keeping track of your kids' needs and wants. They're typically more expensive than a single stroller, however, some come with price tags that are in line with or less than our best single strollers.

Strollers for Three Kids

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

Try the Graco Ready2GrowLX three stroller if you're looking for a stroller Single that will grow with your kids. It has an front bench seat designed to accommodate bassinets or infant car seats, as well as an rear seat that can be converted into a toddler seat once the child is six months old. The seat can be used as an elevated platform for toddlers, and you can use the parent tray that comes with cup holders and storage compartments.

Another excellent 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 in height. You can then add the rear seat accessory to transform it into a triple tandem stroller, with a third regular seat for your oldest child. This model is best suitable for twins or siblings close in age, in which the older child will sit in the front seat and the younger twin will sit in the rear seat.

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 provide more seating options to the traditional double. One option is the Foundations Trio Sport 4-Passenger Stroller that is affordable and has great reviews from parents who have used it.

Strollers are essential to transport your children and giving them the safety and comfort they need to relax while you're in the move. However, when it's time to buy a brand new stroller, you should know the distinctions between single and double strollers to choose the best model for your family. Regardless of which model you choose it is essential to choose an item that is compliant with US Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) standards and comes with an ergonomic handlebar that makes it easy to push and steer for long durations of time.
