Choosing a Stroller
Strollers are a baby's best friend--they allow parents to easily take their kids around town, explore the great outdoors or stroll through crowded malls. However, selecting the right stroller for your child as well as your family's needs is vital to ensure a comfortable ride. To choose a stroller that's suitable for you, first consider where you'll be using it and how often. Will it need to traverse rough terrain, fit into a small car trunk or fit through doors that are narrow? Think about whether you'll be taking it on city walks or hiking in the woods. Once you've settled on the type of stroller you want and features you want you can try various models.
Begin by running a few laps in the parking lot. This will allow you to get used to the way it moves. If you plan to use it to run, test the wheels for durability and see how they roll over bumps and uneven sidewalks. Decide if you want an essentials storage basket or a recliner chair for newborns. Also, ensure that the handlebars are at a comfortable height for your stride and that there's enough room in the seat for the size of a child.
If you are planning to have more children in the near future You might be interested in a single stroller that could be converted into a double stroller or a stroller board for toddlers. One of the most common stroller regrets for Babylist parents is not purchasing convertible models.
If you'll be using the stroller during rain or other inclement weather, look for accessories like sun canopies and rain covers that can be swiftly and easily attached. Be sure to consider safety. Check for a five point harness system that is easy to buckle and unbuckle and secure seating and robust brakes. Check the hinges for sharp edges or areas where a finger could be stuck. Make sure that the stroller is compliant with local and state safety standards. Last but not least try it out with your child to ensure that you are comfortable.
Strollers for One Child
You may only require one stroller if you have only one child. They are typically smaller than larger models and have the same safety features that larger strollers have, including a large canopy that protects your baby from the sun and wind. These strollers are also more maneuverable, and they have fewer parts to break.
If your child is in an infant seat strollers with an infant carrier built-in could be a great option. These strollers are built with sturdy frames that can be used to hold multiple seats and even a second car seat. They are usually easier to use and cost less upfront than double or convertible strollers.
An all-in-one stroller could be a good choice for older children. These strollers usually have a big, spacious basket that can accommodate your child's belongings and accommodate most diaper bags. They are also easy to maneuver and narrow enough to fit inside a bathroom stall or doorway. They fold up easily and can be put in a closet or behind the seat of the car for easy transport.
If you're looking for a stroller that will grow with your family, consider a convertible model. These strollers come with a base frame which can accommodate up to two toddler seats or even a bassinet for a baby. (Adapters and carriers are available separately). They're typically more expensive than single hand fold stroller-seat strollers, but they're a great investment for families who wish to travel light and have flexibility in seating. The UPPAbaby vista V2 is a stroller that can be converted with premium features that can hold up to three children (age-dependent).
Strollers for Two Children
If you have two small children, a double stroller is necessary to move both at the same time. There are many alternatives, such as tandems, side-by-side strollers and wagons. A majority of the double strollers we tested are able to accommodate a second child seat, or even a third one if you add a piggyback ride-along board (sold separately). Tandem strollers come with more options for different ages and stages than side-by-side models however they are typically larger in size and heavier in weight.
Parents of twins want twin strollers that have the same seating arrangement as their children. They will also likely require one that is able to accommodate two infant car seats at once which is something only a handful of our top-rated double strollers can offer. Twins who are similar in age or abilities may do better with a tandem stroller, however the type of seating will depend on how far apart they are in age and what features they each prefer.
In our tests, all the tandem strollers that we tested were easy to maneuver and had a a large turning radius. They did not turn as well in tight spaces as a single stroller and can be a challenge to maneuver around curbs. The majority of the side-byside strollers we tested fit through doors that are standard. However, they could have a narrower aisle than a single seat stroller-stroller.
Some side-by-side strollers we tested worked with an additional toddler seat, however, they did not allow you to swap the seats in and out this would be useful if your children are at opposite age ranges. The UPPAbaby V2 Double is an exception to this rule. It lets you easily switch between double and single mode using its convertible frame.
We've tested the top double strollers available. Most have ample storage space and allow you to keep both children within your view. Some even have parent consoles that can be useful in keeping track of your kids' requirements and desires. They are typically more expensive than a single stroller, however, some come with price tags that are comparable to or less than those of our top single strollers.
Strollers for three children
If you have three kids (or one singleton with two older twins), you'll need a stroller that will accommodate all of them. It's a significant purchase, so do your research to find the right model for your family size as well as your lifestyle and budget.
For a triple Stroller single that will grow with your kids consider the Graco Ready2Grow LX. It has an front bench seat that is designed to hold bassinets and infant car seats, and an rear seat that can be converted into a toddler seat when the child reaches 6 months. The seat can also be used as a platform that can be used as a standing one for children in preschool and you can also use the parent tray that comes with cup holders and storage compartments.
Another great triple stroller option is the Joovy Big Caboose. It has two car-seat-compatible, forward-facing reclined seats that can accommodate kids up to 32 inches tall. You can then add the rear seat accessory to transform it into a triple tandem stroller, with a third seat for your child's oldest. This model is especially well suitable for twins or siblings close in age, where the older child will sit in the front seat and the younger child will be in the rear seat.
Quad strollers are very popular with parents. They are essentially double strollers with an additional seat in the back. While they aren't difficult to maneuver in tight spaces, they do provide more seating options than the standard double. The Foundations Trio Sport 4 Passenger Stroller is a good option. It is relatively inexpensive and has received great reviews from parents.
Strollers can be used to transport your children and give them a secure, comfortable place to relax while you're out. However, when it's time to buy a brand new stroller, you should know the differences between double and buggy single strollers to determine the most suitable model for your family. It doesn't matter which model you pick it is essential to choose a stroller with ergonomic handlebars that are comfortable to steer and push for long durations.
