Choosing a Stroller That's Right For You
A stroller is a four-wheeled, often foldable, chair-like carriage that allows small children to be pushed. It's a great way to take a relaxing run or stroll in the park.
Kidsland offers a wide selection of single and double strollers. Our top-selling items in the store are the Peg Perego Primo Viaggio 3-in-1 Convertible Car Seat/Stroller.
The choice of a Stroller
Strollers are a child's best friend. They let parents easily transport their children around town, go on adventures in the great outdoors or navigate crowded shopping malls. It is crucial to select the best stroller for your child and family. Consider the location and frequency you'll use the stroller to select one that is appropriate for you. Will it need to take on tough terrains or fit into a compact car trunk, or navigate narrow doors? Consider whether you'll be walking in the city or hiking in the woods. After you've chosen the type of stroller you want and features you want you can test drive various models.
Begin by doing some laps around the parking lot. This will help you become accustomed to the way it handles. If you'll be using it to jog, check the tires for durability and see how they handle bumps and uneven sidewalks. Then, decide if you need a storage basket to carry essentials or a reclining chair for babies. Also, make sure the handlebars are at a comfortable height for your stride and there's enough room in the seat to accommodate the size of a child.
If you're thinking to have more children in the near future, think about buying a single person buggy stroller that converts into a double or allows you to add a stroller board (for toddlers). Parents on Babylist say that one of their biggest regrets with strollers is not purchasing an convertible model when they had the chance.
If you'll be using the stroller during rain or other conditions that aren't ideal make sure you have accessories such as rain covers and sun canopies that can be quickly and easily connected. Don't forget to look for a harness with five points that's easy to buckle and unbuckle with a secure seat, as well as robust brakes. Also, check the hinges to ensure there are no sharp edges or areas where a finger might be stuck. Make sure that the stroller complies with the safety standards of your state and local authorities. Finally, try it out with your child to make sure you're both comfortable.
Strollers for One Child
If you have one child one stroller may be all you need. These strollers are usually smaller than the larger models and come with the same safety features as larger strollers with a canopy that protects your baby from sun and wind. They are also more flexible and have fewer parts that can break.
If your child is still in an infant seat strollers that have an infant carrier built-in could be a great option. These strollers are made with sturdy frames that can be used to hold more than one seat or even a second car seat. They're typically more convenient to use than convertible strollers or double strollers and might cost less up front and also, more affordable.
A stroller that is all-in-one can be a great option for older children. They come with a big, spacious basket to hold your child's items and will fit most infant diaper bags. They are also easily maneuverable and narrow enough to fit inside a bathroom stall or doorway. They can be folded up and stored in a car's back or in a closet for easy transport.
Consider a convertible stroller when you are looking to expand your stroller with your family. These strollers have frames that can accommodate up to two toddler seats or even a bassinet for a baby. (Adapters and carriers are available separately). These strollers are usually more expensive than single-seaters but are a great investment if you want to move around with your kids in a light manner and have flexibility in seating. The UPPAbaby Vista v2 is a convertible stroller with top-quality features that can fit up to three children (age-dependent).
Strollers for Two Children
If you have two young children it is necessary to transport both of them at once. There are many options including tandems, side-by-sides and wagons. Many of the double strollers we tested can accommodate two child seats, or even a third one if you add a piggyback ride-along board (sold separately). Tandem strollers are available in different models to meet the needs of different age groups and stages. However they're generally heavier and bulkier than side-byside models.
Parents of twins want twin strollers that have the same seating arrangement as their children. They'll likely need one that can accommodate two infant car seats at the same time which is something only a 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 in age and the features they like best.
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 it could be difficult to navigate curbs. The majority of side-by-side strollers we tested fit through doors that are standard. However, they might have a narrower aisle than a single running stroller-stroller.
A few of the side-by sides we tested had the option of a second seat for toddlers however, you could not switch them out and in. This would be useful in the event that your children are of different age groups. The UPPAbaby Vista V2 Double is an exception to this rule and allows you to easily change between double and single mode using its convertible frame.
We've tested the best double strollers on the market. Most come with plenty of storage space and let you keep both children within your sight. Some come with parent consoles that can aid in keeping on top of your child's desires and requirements. 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 a stroller that can accommodate all your children if you have three (or two older twins and a singleton). It's a big purchase, so shop around to find a model that is suitable for your family's size and lifestyle as well as your budget.
Try the Graco Ready2GrowLX three stroller if you want a stroller that will grow with your children. It comes with a front-facing seat that can be used to hold infant car seats or bassinets and a back bench seat that can be converted to a toddler seat for children over 6 months of age. The seat can be used as a platform that can be used as a standing one for toddlers, and you can use the tray for parents that comes with cup holders and storage compartments.
Another great triple stroller option is the Joovy Big Caboose. It comes with two forward-facing car seat seats that reclining, and can fit children up to 32 inches in height. You can then add the rear seat accessory to transform it into a triple tandem stroller with a third standard seat for your child's oldest. This model is particularly designed for twins or other siblings of similar age, in which the older child will sit in the front seat and the younger one will be in the rear seat.
Many parents opt for a quad stroller which is essentially double stroller with an additional seat in the back. These strollers aren't as easy to maneuver however they do provide more seating options to the regular double. One good choice is the Foundations Trio Sport 4-Person Stroller that is affordable and has excellent reviews from parents who have used it.
Strollers can be used to transport your children around and give them a secure, comfortable place to relax when you're out. When it's time to buy a stroller, it is important to understand the distinction between single and double strollers to select the most appropriate model for your family. It doesn't matter which model you pick it's important to select a stroller single that has ergonomic handlebars that are comfortable to steer and push for long periods.
