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

How to Choose a Stroller

Strollers are the best friend of parents. They let parents easily transport their children around town, discover the outdoors, or go through busy shopping malls. However, choosing the right stroller for your child and your family's needs is essential to a smooth ride. Consider the location and frequency you'll be using the stroller to choose one that is right for you. Do you need it to travel on rough terrain or fit into a compact single stroller car trunk or navigate narrow doorways? Also, think about whether you'll stroll with it in the city or out in the woods. After you've chosen the type of stroller you want and features you'd like you can test drive several models.

Begin by running some laps around the parking lot. This will allow you to get used to how it handles. If you intend to use it for jogging, test the wheels' durability and how well they move on uneven and bumpy pavements. Then, consider whether you'll need an extra storage basket to store essentials or a recliner for newborns. Also, ensure that the handlebars are at an appropriate height to allow you to walk comfortably and that there's enough space in the seat for the child of your size.

If you plan to have more children in the near future, you may be interested in a single stroller that can be transformed into a double stroller, or a stroller board for toddlers. One of the biggest stroller regrets for parents of Babylist is not buying convertible models.

Finally, if you'll be using the stroller during rain or other inclement weather, look for accessories like rain covers and sun canopies that can be quickly and easily connected. Don't forget safety. Make sure you have a five point harness system that is easy to buckle and unbuckle and secure seating and robust brakes. Also, examine the hinges to ensure there aren't sharp edges or spots where a small finger could get stuck. Make sure the stroller is in compliance with the safety requirements of your state and local laws. And lastly make sure to test it with your child to make sure that you both feel comfortable.

Strollers for One Child

If you only have one child, a single gb stroller stroller might be all you need. They are typically smaller than full-sized models and have the same safety features as larger strollers that include a large canopy that protects your baby from sun and wind. They're also generally more mobile and have fewer components that can break.

If your baby is small and still in a car seat for infants, a stroller that has a built-in infant carrier might be the best option for you. These strollers have strong frames that can hold multiple seats or even a second infant car seat that can be attached to the base. They're generally more user-friendly than convertible strollers or double strollers, and can cost less upfront, too.

A stroller that's all-in-one is a great choice for older children. They come with a big wide basket that can carry your child's things and will fit most infant diaper bags. They are also easy to maneuver and are narrow enough to fit in the bathroom doorway or stall. They can also be folded and stored in a car's back seat or closet for quick transport.

Consider a convertible stroller when you need a stroller that can grow with your family. These strollers come with a base frame that can accommodate up to two toddler chairs or even an infant bassinet (carriers and adapters are available separately). They're usually more expensive than single-seat strollers but they're a great investment for families who want to move around with ease and are flexible when it comes to seating. The UPPAbaby Vista V2 is a convertible stroller with top-quality features that can accommodate up to three children (age-dependent).

Strollers for Two children

If you have two small children A double stroller is a must to transport them both at once. There are a myriad of options available like tandems, side-by-sides and wagons. Many of the dual-strollers that we tested could accommodate the second child's seat or a third one if you add a piggybackboard (sold separately). Tandem strollers have more configurations for different levels and ages than side-byside models however they are generally larger in dimensions and heavier in weight.

Parents of twins want twin strollers that have the same seating arrangement as their children. They will also likely need one that can accommodate two infant car seats at once and this is something that only a handful of our top-rated double strollers can offer. A tandem stroller is the best for twins who are similar in terms of age or abilities. However the seating arrangement depends on the distance each twin is and the features they like best.

In our tests, all tandem strollers we tested were easy to maneuver and had a big turning radius. They did not turn as well in tight spaces as a pushchair single stroller Single and can be a challenge to navigate curbs. The majority of side-byside strollers that we tested fit through standard doors. However, they may have a narrower aisle than a single stroller with standing board stroller.

Some of the side-by-sides that we test had an additional seat for toddlers, but you couldn't swap them in and out. This is a great feature if your kids are at different ages. The UPPAbaby V2 Double is the exception to this rule. It lets you effortlessly switch between single and double mode with its convertible frame.

Side-by-side strollers are by far the most popular style in our double stroller category and we've tested a few of the most effective options that are available. They're all spacious with storage space and allow you to keep both children within sight. Some even have parent consoles, which can be helpful in keeping track of your kids' requirements and desires. They are typically more expensive than a single seat stroller stroller however, some come with price tags that are comparable to or less than those of our top single strollers.

Strollers for Three Kids

If you have three children (or a singleton and two older twins) you'll require a stroller that can accommodate all of them. This is a major purchase, so it's best to look around and search for a model that will suit your lifestyle, family size and budget.

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

The Joovy Big Caboose is another excellent triple stroller. It comes with two car seat-compatible, forward-facing reclined seats that can accommodate kids up to 32 inches tall. The rear seat can be added to the stroller to create a triple tandem, with a regular third seat for your largest child. This model is ideal for twins and siblings who are close in age. The older child will sit on the front seat, and the younger one will be in the rear.

Many parents choose a quad stroller, which is essentially double stroller that has an additional seat in the back. Although these strollers aren't easy to maneuver in tight spaces, they do provide more seating options than a standard double. One good choice is the Foundations Trio Sport 4-Person Stroller that is affordable and has great 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 while you're on the go. However, when it's time to buy a brand new stroller, you should know the differences between double and single strollers to find the right model for your family.
