How to Choose a Stroller

Strollers can be the best friend of parents. They let parents easily transport their children around town, explore the outdoors, or go through busy shopping malls. It is crucial to select the right stroller for your child and your family. Consider where and how often you'll use the stroller before selecting one that is appropriate for you. Will it need to take on tough terrains and fit into a small car trunk or navigate narrow doors? Consider whether you will be taking it on city walks or out in the woods. Once you've settled on the type of stroller you want and features you want you can try different models.

Begin with a few laps around the parking lot to get familiar with how it handles and moves. If you intend to use it for jogging, test the wheels' durability and how well they roll on bumps and uneven pavements. Consider if you'd like a basket to store your essentials or a reclining chair for babies. Also, make sure the handlebars are at a comfortable height for your stride and that there's enough room in the seat for a child your size.

If you plan to have more children in the future You might want to consider a single stroller that could be transformed into a double stroller or a stroller board for toddlers. One of the biggest stroller regrets of Babylist parents is not buying a convertible model.

If you're planning to use the stroller during rain or other conditions that aren't ideal consider accessories such as sun canopies and rain covers that can be quickly and easily connected. Be sure to consider safety. Check for a five point harness system that is easy to buckle and unlock, a secure seating position and sturdy brakes. Examine the hinges for any sharp edges or areas where a finger might get caught. Check that the stroller meets the safety standards of the state and local authorities. Also, try it with your child to ensure you're both in a good place.

Strollers for One Child

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

If your child is in an infant seat strollers with an infant carrier included is a good option. These strollers have sturdy frames that can accommodate multiple seats or even a second car seat. They are generally easier to use and are less expensive upfront than convertible or double strollers.

A stroller that is all-in-one is a great choice for older children. They come with a big, spacious basket to hold your child's items and will fit most infant diaper bags. They are also easily maneuverable and narrow enough to fit into the bathroom or doorway. Plus, they fold easily and can be put in a closet or behind the seat of the vehicle for easy transport.

If you're seeking a stroller that will grow with your family, consider a convertible model. They come with a base frame that can hold up to two toddler chairs or even a bassinet (carriers and adapters sold separately). These strollers are typically more expensive than single-seaters but are a great investment if you want to move around with your kids in a light manner and have flexibility in seating. The UPPAbaby Vista V2 is a convertible stroller with top features that can hold up to three children (age-dependent).

Strollers for Two Children

A double stroller will allow you to transport two children at a time when you have more than one. There are a myriad of options available including tandems, side-by sides, and wagons. A majority of the double strollers we tested are able to accommodate two child seats, or even a third if you include a ride-along board that piggybacks (sold separately). Tandem strollers are available in a variety of models to meet the needs of different age groups and stages. However, they are often heavier and larger than side-by-side models.

Parents of twins will need a stroller that has the same seating arrangements as their children. They will likely require a stroller that can accept two infant car seats simultaneously this is something that very few of our top-rated double strollers offer. Twins who are close in age or abilities might be better off with a tandem stroller, but the type of seating will depend on the distance between them in age and the features each prefers.

In our tests, all of the tandem strollers we tested were easy to maneuver with a a large turning radius. However, they didn't turn as smoothly as one stroller in narrow areas and could be difficult to maneuver around curbs. The majority of the side-byside strollers we tested could fit through doors that are standard. However, they may have a narrower aisle than a single buggy with buggy board stroller.

Some side-by-side strollers we tested were compatible with an additional toddler seat, however, they did not allow you to swap the seats between the two, which would be helpful for children who are at different age ranges. The UPPAbaby V2 Double was the exception to this rule. It lets you easily switch between double and single travel stroller mode by converting its frame.

Side-by-side strollers are the most popular model in our double stroller category, and we've tested a few of the most effective options on the market. Most have ample storage space and allow you to keep both children within sight. Some have parent consoles that assist you in keeping the track of your child's wants and needs. They are typically more expensive than a lightweight single stroller stroller, but some have price tags that are comparable to or less than our top single strollers.
