Choosing a Stroller That's Right For You
A stroller is usually a foldable four-wheeled carriage which small children can be being pushed into. It's an excellent way to go for a leisurely run or walk outdoors.
Kidsland offers a wide range of strollers that are dual and single. Our top-selling items in the store are the Peg Perego Primo Viaggio 3-in-1 Convertible Car Seat/Stroller.
Selecting a Stroller
Strollers can be a parent's best friend. They let parents easily transport their children around town, discover nature or navigate busy shopping malls. But choosing the best stroller for your child as well as your family's needs is crucial to ensure a comfortable ride. Consider the location and frequency you'll be using the stroller before selecting one that is appropriate for you. Do you want it to go on tough terrains or fit into a compact car trunk, or navigate narrow doors? Consider whether you'll be walking around the city or out in the woods. After you've identified the stroller type 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 allow you to get used to the way it moves. If you intend to use it for jogging, test the durability of the wheels and how they perform on bumps and uneven pavements. Choose if you'd like a basket to store your essentials or a reclining chair for babies. Also, ensure that the handlebars are at a comfortable height for your stride and that there's enough room in the seat to accommodate a child your size.
Next, if you're planning to have more children in the near future, you should consider investing in one stroller that can be converted into a double, or allows you to add a stroller board (for toddlers). One of the most common stroller regrets for Babylist parents is not purchasing an convertible model.
If you're planning to use the stroller in rain or other inclement weather consider accessories such as rain covers and sun canopies that can be swiftly and easily attached. And don't forget about safety--check for a five-point harness system that's easy to unbuckle and buckle with a secure seat, as well as sturdy brakes. Check the hinges for sharp edges or places where a finger might be caught. Make sure that the stroller complies with local and state safety standards. Last but not least, test it out with your kid to ensure that you feel comfortable.
Strollers for One child
You may only need one stroller if have just one child. These strollers tend to be smaller than full-sized strollers and come with the same safety features. They also have a large canopy that protects your baby from wind and sun. They are also more flexible and have fewer parts that can break.
If your child is still in an infant car seat, a stroller with an infant carrier built in is a good option. These strollers feature sturdy frames that can be used to accommodate multiple seats, or even an additional infant car seat that is attached to the base. They are generally easier to use and cost less in the beginning than convertible or double strollers.
A stroller that's all-in one is a great choice for older children. They typically come with large, spacious baskets that can accommodate your child's things and can accommodate the majority of diaper bags. They are also easy to maneuver and are narrow enough to fit in the bathroom or doorway. Additionally, they fold easily and can be stored in a closet or the backseat of the vehicle for easy transportation.
Consider a convertible stroller when you are looking to expand your stroller with your family. These strollers have a base frame which can accommodate up to two toddler seats, or even a bassinet for a baby. (Adapters and carriers are sold separately). They're usually more expensive than single-seat strollers but they're a great option for families that want to travel light and are flexible when it comes to seating. The UPPAbaby vista V2 is a convertible stroller with top-quality features that can accommodate up to three children (age-dependent).
Strollers for Two Children
A double stroller will help you transport two children at once If you have more than one. There are many options including tandems, side-by-sides, and wagons. A majority of the double strollers we tested have the capacity to accommodate a second child seat, or even a third one if you include a ride-along board that piggybacks (sold separately). Tandem strollers are available in different designs to accommodate different age groups and stages. However, they are often heavier and bulkier than side-byside models.
Parents of twins will want a double stroller that has the same seating arrangement as their children. They'll also require one that can fit two infant car seats at the same time and this is something that only a few of our best single jogging stroller-rated double strollers have. A tandem stroller is the best for twins who are comparable in age or capability. However the seating layout is dependent on how far each twin is and which features they prefer.
In our tests, all tandem strollers we tested were easy to maneuver with large turning radius. However, they did not turn as well as a single stroller in small spaces, and may be difficult to maneuver around curbs. The majority of side-byside strollers that we tested fit through standard doors. However, they might have a shorter aisle than a single stroller.
A few strollers that we tested could be used with a second toddler seat, but they didn't allow you to swap the seats out and in this would be useful for children who are at opposite age ranges. The UPPAbaby Vista Double is an exception to this rule, and allows you to easily switch between single seat buggy and double mode using its convertible frame.
Side-by-side strollers are among the most popular model in our double stroller category and we've tested some of the best options that are available. They offer the convenience of keeping both kids within sight at all times, and come with plenty of storage space for your items. Some have parent consoles that aid in keeping the track of your child's wants and requirements. Some are priced at the same cost as our top cheap single stroller strollers, while others are more expensive.
Strollers for Three Children
If you have three kids (or one singleton and two older twins) then 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 and lifestyle as well as your budget.
Try the Graco Ready2GrowLX triple stroller if you want a stroller that will grow with your kids. It has a front seat that can hold bassinets or infant car seats as well as a rear bench seat that can be converted to a toddler's seat for children over 6 months of age. The seat can be used as a stand-up for young children. It also includes a tray for parents with cup holders and storage compartments.
The Joovy Big Caboose is another great triple stroller. It comes with two car seat-compatible, forward-facing reclined seats that can accommodate children up to 32 inches tall. The rear seat can be added to the stroller to create triple tandem, and includes a regular third seat for your oldest child. This model is perfect for twins and siblings who are close in age. The older child will sit on the front seat, and the younger child will be in the rear.
Many parents choose quad strollers which is essentially double stroller that has an additional seat in the back. While they aren't easy to maneuver in tight spaces, they offer more seating options than the standard double. The Foundations Trio Sport 4 Passenger stroller single is a good option. It's relatively affordable and has received excellent reviews from parents.
Strollers are crucial for transporting your children and giving them the safety and comfort they need to relax while you're in the move. When it's time to purchase a new stroller, you should know the differences between double and single strollers to choose the best model for your family. Whatever model you choose it is essential to select a stroller that meets US Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) standards and comes with an ergonomic handlebar that makes it comfortable to push and steer for long durations of time.
