Choosing a Stroller

Strollers are a baby's best friend--they let parents easily transport their kids around town, explore the great outdoors or navigate crowded shopping malls. However, choosing the best stroller for your child and your family's needs is crucial to a smooth ride. To choose a stroller that's suitable for you, first think about where you'll use it and how often. Will it need to take on rough terrain or fit into a compact car trunk or navigate narrow doors? Also, think about whether you'll want to take it on walks around the city or out in the woods. Once you've determined the type of stroller you want and the features you require you can test the various models.

Start with a few laps around the parking lot to get familiar with its handling and maneuvers. If you're planning to use it to run, test the wheels for wear and test out how well they roll over bumps and uneven sidewalks. Decide if you want a basket to store your essentials or a reclining seat for newborns. Also, make sure the handlebars are a comfortable height for your stride and there's enough room in the seat to hold the child of your size.

If you're thinking on having more kids in the near future, think about buying a single fold pushchair stroller that converts into a double, or allows you to add a stroller board (for toddlers). Parents on Babylist say that one of their biggest regrets with strollers is not buying the convertible model when they had the opportunity.

If you'll be using the stroller in the rain or other inclement weather make sure you have accessories such as rain covers and sun canopies that can be swiftly and easily attached. Also, make sure to check for a harness with five points that is easy to unbuckle and buckle, a secure seat and sturdy brakes. Examine the hinges for any sharp edges or places where fingers could get stuck. Also, ensure that the stroller is compliant with the safety standards of your state and local authorities. Then, test it out with your child to make sure that you both are at ease.

Strollers for One Child

If you have one child one stroller may be all you require. These strollers tend to be smaller than larger strollers and come with the same safety features. They also have a large canopy that shields your child from the sun and wind. They're also generally more flexible and have fewer parts that may break.

If your child is still in an infant car seat, a stroller with an infant carrier included might be a good choice. These strollers are built with sturdy frames that can 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 is all-in-one can be a good choice for older babies. These strollers typically have large, spacious baskets which can be used to store the child's items and accommodate most diaper bags. They're also simple to steer and narrow enough to pass through a doorway or bathroom stall. They fold up easily and can be put in a closet or behind the seat of the car for easy transportation.

Consider a convertible stroller if you need a stroller that can grow with your family. They come with an aluminum frame that can accommodate up to two toddler seats, or even a bassinet for a baby. (Adapters and carriers are sold separately). These strollers are typically more expensive than single-seaters, but are a great investment for those who want to move around with your kids in a light manner and are able to accommodate a variety of seating. The UPPAbaby Vista V2 is a stroller that can be converted with top-quality features that can fit up to three children (age-dependent).

Strollers for Two Kids

If you have two young children, a double stroller single is necessary to transport them both simultaneously. There are a myriad of options available like tandems, side-by-sides and wagons. A majority of the dual strollers we tested can accommodate two child seats, or even a third if you add a piggyback ride-along board (sold separately). Tandem strollers have more configurations for different levels and ages than side-byside models, but they are also generally larger in dimensions and heavier in weight.

Parents of twins will want a double stroller that has the same seating arrangement as their children. They'll also need one that can accommodate two infant car seats at once and this is something that only a few of our best-rated double strollers can offer. A tandem stroller is ideal for twins who are comparable in age or capability. However, the seating style also is dependent on how far the twins are in their ages and the features they like best.

In our tests, all of the tandem strollers that we tested were easy to maneuver with a big turning radius. However, they could not turn as smoothly as a single stroller in tight spaces, and may be difficult to maneuver around curbs. Most of the strollers we reviewed fit in the majority of doors, however they might have a narrow aisle than a single stroller.

Some of the side-by-sides that we tested included an additional seat for toddlers however, you could not swap them in and out. This is a great feature in the event that your children are of different age ranges. The UPPAbaby V2 Double is an exception to this rule. It lets you easily change between double and single mode with its convertible frame.

Side-by-side strollers are the most popular model in our double stroller category, and we've tested some of the top options available that are available. They provide the convenience of keeping both children within reach at all times, and come with plenty of storage space for your gear. Some even include parent consoles, which can be useful in keeping track of your child's needs and wants. Some are priced at the same cost as our best cheap single pushchair strollers, whereas others are more expensive.

Strollers for Three Kids

If you have three kids (or one singleton with two older twins) then you'll need a stroller that can fit all of them. This is a significant purchase, so it's a good idea to look around and search for a model that will suit your family's size, style of living and budget.

Another excellent triple stroller option is the Joovy Big Caboose. It comes with two forward-facing car seat seats that reclining, and can fit children up to 32 inches in height. It is possible to add the rear seat accessory to transform it into a triple tandem stroller with a third seat for your oldest child. This model is especially well designed for twins or other siblings who are close in age, in which the older child will be 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 maneuverable, but they offer more seating options compared to the traditional double. The Foundations Trio Sport 4 Passenger Stroller is a great option. It's a bit pricey and has received excellent reviews from parents.

Strollers can be used to transport your children and give them a secure and comfortable spot to relax when you're out. When it's time to purchase a stroller, you need to understand the distinction between double and single convertible stroller strollers in order to choose the right model for your family.
