The choice of a stroller single (recommended)
Strollers can be the perfect companion for parents. They allow parents to easily transport their children around town, discover nature or navigate busy shopping malls. However, selecting the right stroller for your child and your 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. Will it need to take on difficult terrains or fit into a compact car trunk or maneuver through narrow doorways? Also, consider whether you'll need to take it on walks around the city or hikes in the woods. Once you've determined the type of stroller and features you require then it's time to test drive a few models.
Start by doing some laps in the parking lot. This will help you become accustomed to how it handles. If you plan to use it for jogging, check the durability of the wheels and how they perform on uneven and bumpy pavements. Then, decide whether you'll need a basket for storage to carry essentials or a reclining seat for infants. Be sure that the handlebars fit your stride comfortably and there's enough room for the child of your size in the seat.
If you're planning to have more children in the near future, think about buying one stroller that converts into a double, or allows you to add a stroller board (for toddlers). One of the biggest stroller regrets for Babylist parents is not purchasing a convertible model.
If you plan to use the stroller during the rainy season or other weather conditions, make sure that accessories like sun umbrellas and rain covers can be attached quickly and easily. Don't forget to look for a harness with five points that is easy to unbuckle and buckle with a secure seat, as well as robust brakes. Examine the hinges for any sharp edges or places where a finger might be caught. Check that the stroller meets the safety standards of the state and local authorities. Last but not least try it out with your kid to ensure that you are comfortable.
Strollers for One Child
It is possible that you only need one stroller if have just one child. These strollers tend to be smaller than the larger ones and come with the same safety features. They also have a large canopy that protects your baby from wind and sun. They're also generally more maneuverable and have fewer parts that can break.
If your baby is still young and is still in a car seat that is for infants, a stroller that has a built-in infant carrier might be the ideal option for you. These strollers are made with sturdy frames that can be used to hold several seats and even a second car seat. They're usually easier to use than convertible strollers or double strollers, and can cost less upfront and also, more affordable.
A stroller that's all-in one is a great choice for older children. They typically come with large, spacious baskets which can be used to store your child's belongings and accommodate the majority of diaper bags. They're also simple to steer and narrow enough to fit through a bathroom stall. Plus, they fold easily and can be tucked away in a closet or backseat of the vehicle for easy transportation.
Consider a convertible stroller if are looking to expand your stroller with your family. They come with frames 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 lightweight single stroller-seaters, however they are a great investment when you're looking to take your kids on a short journey and can be adapted to seating. The UPPAbaby Vista V2 is our top choice for a top-quality convertible stroller with top features and can carry up to three children comfortably (age-dependent).
Strollers for Two Kids
A double stroller can assist you in transporting two children at a time when you have more than one. There are a myriad of options available, such as tandems, side-by-sides and wagons. Many of the dual-strollers we tested could accommodate a second child's seat, or a third one if you add a piggyback board (sold separately). Tandem strollers offer 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 will 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, which is something that only a few of our top-rated double strollers can offer. Twins who are similar in age or capability may be better off using a tandem stroller, but the type of seating will depend on how far apart they are in age and what features they prefer.
In our tests, we discovered that all of the tandem strollers we tested were easy to maneuver and had a wide turning radius. They did not turn as well in tight spaces as a cheap single stroller stroller and could be difficult to navigate curbs. The majority of side-by-side strollers we tested could fit through standard doors. However, they may have a narrower aisle than a single stroller.
Some side-by-side strollers we tested were compatible with a second toddler seat, however, they don't permit you to swap seats in and out this would be useful for children who are at different ages. The UPPAbaby Vista Double is an exception to this rule and it lets you easily switch between single and double mode using its convertible frame.
We've tested the top double strollers on the market. They are convenient for keeping both kids within sight at all times, and most have plenty of storage space for your gear. Some even have parent consoles that can be useful in keeping track of your children's requirements and desires. Some are priced at the same cost as our top single strollers, but others are more expensive.
Strollers for three children
You'll need to locate the perfect stroller for your children when you have three (or two older twins and one singleton). This is a major purchase, so it's best to research and search for a model that will suit your family's size, style of living and budget.
For a triple stroller that can grow with your kids look into the Graco Ready2Grow LX. It comes with a front-facing seat that can hold bassinets for infants or car seats, and a rear bench seat that can convert to a toddler seat for children over 6 months of age. The seat can be used as a stand-up for young children. It also comes with a parent tray with cup holders as well as storage compartments.
The Joovy Big Caboose is another great triple stroller. It comes with two car seat-compatible, forward-facing, reclining seats that fit children up to 32 inches tall. It is possible to add the rear seat accessory to turn it into a triple tandem stroller, with a third standard seat for your oldest child. This model is especially well suited for twins or siblings of similar age, in which the older one will ride in the front seat, while the younger child will be in the rear seat.
Quad strollers are a favorite among parents. They are essentially double strollers with an extra seat at the back. While these models are not difficult to maneuver in tight spaces, they do offer more seating options than the standard double. One good choice is the Foundations Trio Sport 4-Passenger Stroller, which is relatively inexpensive and has received excellent reviews from parents who have used it.
Strollers are crucial for transporting your children and giving them a comfortable, safe place to relax in the move. However, when it's time to purchase a new stroller, you should know the distinctions between single and double strollers to choose the best single pushchair model for your family. No matter which model you pick it's important to look for a stroller that meets US Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) standards and has an ergonomic handlebar that is easy to push and steer for long durations of time.
