Choosing a Stroller That's Right For You
A stroller is usually a collapsible four-wheeled chairlike carriage that small children are pulled in. It's an excellent way to enjoy a leisurely run or walk outdoors.
Kidsland offers a variety of single stroller pushchair and double strollers. Our store best sellers include the Peg Perego Primo Viaggio 3-in-1 Convertible Car Seat/Stroller.
Selecting a Stroller
Strollers are the best friend of parents. They let parents easily transport their children around town, explore nature or navigate busy shopping malls. It is crucial to select the right stroller that suits your child and family. Consider where and how often you'll be using the stroller before selecting one that is suitable for you. Will it need to take on rough terrain or fit into a compact car trunk or navigate narrow doorways? Think about whether you'll be taking it on city walks or hiking in the woods. Once you've determined the type of stroller and features you want then it's time to test some strollers.
Start with a few laps around the parking lot to familiarize yourself with its handling and moves. If you intend to use it for jogging, check the durability of the wheels and how they perform on uneven and bumpy pavements. Then, consider whether you'll need a storage basket to carry essentials or a recliner for infants. Also, make sure the handlebars are at an appropriate height for your stride and there's enough room in the seat to accommodate a child your size.
If you're thinking on having more kids in the near future, think about buying a single 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 a convertible model.
Also, if you're planning to use the stroller during rain or other weather conditions consider accessories such as rain covers and sun canopies that can be quickly and easily attached. Be sure to consider safety. Make sure you have a five-point harness that is easy to buckle and unlock as well as a safe seating position and robust brakes. Examine the hinges for any sharp edges or places where a finger might be stuck. Then, make sure the stroller complies with local and state safety standards. Also, try it with your child to ensure that you're both at ease.
Strollers for One child
If you have one child one stroller may be all you require. They are typically smaller than the larger models and come with the same safety features as larger strollers, including a large canopy that protects your baby from sun and wind. These strollers are also more maneuverable and have fewer components to break.
If your child is still in an infant car seat, strollers with an infant carrier included is a good option. These strollers are built with sturdy frames that can accommodate multiple seats or even a second car seat. They are generally simpler to use and are less expensive upfront than double or convertible strollers.
An all-in-one stroller can also be a good choice for older babies. They typically come with large, spacious baskets that can hold your child's belongings and accommodate most diaper bags. They are also easy to maneuver and narrow enough to fit inside the bathroom or doorway. They can be folded up and stored in a car's back or closet for quick transport.
If you're seeking a stroller that can adapt to your growing family, consider a convertible model. These strollers come with frames that can accommodate up to two toddler seats or even a bassinet for a baby. (Adapters and carriers are available separately). They are generally more expensive than single umbrella stroller-seaters, but are a great investment if you want to take your kids on a short journey and are able to accommodate a variety of seating. The UPPAbaby Vista V2 is our top choice for a premium convertible stroller that offers premium features and can accommodate up to three kids comfortably (age-dependent).
Strollers for Two Children
If you have two small children, a double stroller is essential to help you transport both of them at the same time. There are many different options, including tandems, side-byside strollers and wagons. A majority of the dual-strollers we tested could accommodate an additional child's seat or a third, if you add a piggybackboard (sold separately). Tandem strollers are available in different configurations to suit different age groups and stages. However they tend to be heavier and bulkier than side-byside models.
Parents of twins will need a stroller that offers the same seating options as their children, and they likely will require a stroller that can accept two infant car seats simultaneously this is something that very few of our top-rated double strollers offer. A tandem stroller is the best for twins who are comparable in terms of age or abilities. However the seating layout depends on the distance each twin is and which features they prefer.
In our tests, we found that all the tandem strollers we tested were easy to maneuver and had a wide turning radius. However, they could not turn as well as one stroller in narrow areas and could be difficult to maneuver around curbs. The majority of side-byside strollers we tested could fit through doors that are standard. However, they may have a shorter aisle than a combi single stroller-stroller.
Some strollers that were side-by-side we tested were compatible with an additional toddler seat, but they didn't allow you to swap seats between the two which could be beneficial if your children are at opposite age ranges. The UPPAbaby V2 Double was the exception to this rule. It allows you to effortlessly switch between double and single mode using its convertible frame.
We've tested the top double strollers available. Most come with plenty of storage space and permit you to keep both children in your sight. Some include parent consoles to aid in keeping on top of your child's desires and requirements. They are typically more expensive than a single stroller, but some have price tags that are comparable to or less than those of our best single stroller for sale strollers.
Strollers for three children
If you have three kids (or one singleton and two older twins) then you'll need a stroller that can fit all of them. This is a major purchase, so it's a good idea to shop around and look for a model that is suited to your family's size, lifestyle and budget.
For a triple stroller which can grow with your children consider the Graco Ready2Grow LX. It has a front seat that can be used to hold infant car seats or bassinets as well as a rear bench seat that can convert into a toddler seat for children over 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.
The Joovy Big Caboose is another excellent triple stroller. It has two car-seat-compatible, forward-facing, reclining seats that fit children who are 32 inches or more tall. You can then add the rear seat accessory to transform it into a triple tandem stroller Single, with a third regular seat for your oldest child. This model is best designed for twins or other siblings who are close in age, where the older one will ride in the front seat, while the younger child will be in the rear seat.
Many parents opt for quad strollers that is basically double stroller that has an additional seat in the back. While they aren't easily maneuverable in tight spaces, they do offer more seating options than a standard double. One of the best options is the Foundations Trio Sport 4-Person Stroller, which is relatively inexpensive and has received excellent reviews from parents who have used it.
Strollers are essential for transporting your children around and offering them a comfortable, safe place to relax while you're on the go. When it's time to purchase a stroller, it is important to be aware of the differences between single sit and stand stroller and double strollers in order to choose the right model for your family. It doesn't matter which model you pick, it is important to select a stroller that has ergonomic handlebars that are comfortable to steer and push for long periods.
