Selecting a Stroller
Strollers are a baby's best friend--they allow parents to easily take their children around the city or explore the great outdoors or stroll through crowded malls. It's crucial to pick the right stroller that suits your child and family. To pick a stroller right for you, first think about where you'll use it and how often. Will it need to take on rough terrain, fit in a compact car trunk or navigate narrow doors? Also, think about whether you'll take it on walks around the city or out in the woods. After you've identified the type of stroller you want and the features you need, it's time to test drive a few models.
Begin by doing a few laps in the parking lot. This will allow you to get used to how it handles. If you're planning to use it to run, test the wheels for durability and check how they roll over bumps and uneven sidewalks. Consider if you need a storage basket to carry essentials or a recliner for newborns. Be sure that the handlebars can be positioned to allow you to walk comfortably and that there is enough space for an infant of your size to sit in the seat.
If you are planning to have more children in the future You might think about a single infant stroller stroller which can be converted into a double stroller or a stroller board for toddlers. One of the biggest stroller regrets for Babylist parents is not purchasing a convertible model.
If you intend to use your stroller during rainy or other bad weather, make sure that accessories such as rain covers and sun umbrellas can be attached quickly and easily. Don't forget safety. Look for a five-point harness that is easy to buckle and unlock and secure seating and robust brakes. Examine the hinges for sharp edges or places where fingers could be stuck. Make sure the stroller is in compliance with the safety requirements of your state and local laws. Then, test it with your child to ensure that you're both at ease.
Strollers for One Child
You may only need one stroller if have just one child. These strollers are usually smaller than full-sized models and come with the same safety features that larger strollers have that include a large canopy to protect your baby from wind and sun. They're also often more mobile and have fewer components that could break.
If your child is still in an infant car seat, strollers with an infant carrier included might be a good choice. These strollers feature sturdy frames that can be used to accommodate multiple seats or even a second infant car seat attached to the base. They are generally simpler to use and cost less upfront than convertible or double strollers.
A stroller that is all-in-one is a great choice for older children. These strollers come with a large, spacious basket to carry your child's things and will fit most infant diaper bags. They're also easy to steer and narrow enough to pass through a doorway or bathroom stall. They can be folded up and stored in a car's back seat or closet for quick transport.
If you're looking for a stroller which can grow with your family, consider a convertible model. These strollers have a base frame that can accommodate two toddler seats or even an infant bassinet (carriers and adapters sold separately). These strollers are typically more expensive than single stroller pushchair-seaters, but they're a great option when you're looking 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 convertible stroller with top features that can fit 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 a myriad of options available like tandems, side-by sides, and wagons. Many of the dual-strollers we tested could accommodate an additional child's seat or a third if you include a piggyback board (sold separately). Tandem strollers are available in a variety of designs to accommodate different levels of ages and ages. However, they are often larger and heavier than side-byside models.
Parents of twins 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 once which is something only a few of our top-rated double strollers can offer. Twins who are similar in age or ability may be better off using a tandem stroller, however the choice of seating style will depend on the distance between them in terms of age and what features each prefers.
In our tests, we found that all the tandem strollers that we tested were easy to maneuver and had a large turning radius. However, they did not turn as easily as a single handle stroller stroller in small spaces, and may be difficult to navigate around curbs. Most of the side-by-side strollers we examined fit into the majority of doors, however they may have a more narrow aisle than one stroller.
Some of the side-by-sides we tested had an additional seat for toddlers however you couldn't switch them out and in. This is a great feature for families with children of different ages. The UPPAbaby V2 Double was the exception to this rule. It lets you effortlessly switch between single and double mode using its convertible frame.
Side-by-side strollers are among the most popular design in our double stroller category, and we've tested a few of the best options that are available. They offer the convenience of keeping both children in sight at all times, and have plenty of storage space for your gear. Some come with parent consoles that aid in keeping track of your child's wants and requirements. Some are priced at the same cost as our top single strollers, but others are more expensive.
Strollers for Three Kids
If you have three kids (or one singleton and two older twins) you'll require a Stroller single that will accommodate all of them. This is a significant purchase, so it's wise to research and search for a model that is suited to your lifestyle, family size and budget.
Try the Graco Ready2GrowLX triple stroller if you want a stroller that can grow with your children. It comes with a front-facing seat that can hold infant car seats or bassinets as well as a rear bench seat that converts to a toddler seat for children up to 6 months of age. The seat can be used as an elevated platform for children in preschool and can be used with the included parent tray with cup holders and storage compartments.
Another fantastic triple stroller is the Joovy Big Caboose. It has two car-seat-compatible, forward-facing reclined seats that will fit children who are 32 inches or more tall. You can also add the rear seat accessory to transform it into an all-in-one stroller with a third regular 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, while the younger child will be in the rear seat.
Many parents opt for quad strollers that is basically a double stroller with an additional seat in the back. While they aren't easy to maneuver in tight spaces, they offer more seating options than a standard double. One option is the Foundations Trio Sport 4-Person Stroller which is affordable and has excellent reviews from parents who have used it.
Strollers can be used to transport your children around and offer them a safe and comfortable spot to relax while you're out. When you're ready to purchase a stroller, it is important to be aware of the differences between single pushchairs and double strollers in order to choose the best model for your household. Regardless of which model you pick, it's always important to select an item that is compliant with US Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) standards and features an ergonomic handlebar that makes it easy to push and steer for long durations of time.
