How to Choose a Stroller

Strollers are a child's best single travel stroller friend. They allow parents to easily take their children around the city, go on adventures in the great outdoors or stroll through crowded malls. However, choosing the best lightweight single stroller stroller for your child and your family's needs is essential to a smooth ride. To select a stroller that's right for you, first think about where you'll use it and how often. Do you need it to navigate rough terrain, fit into a trunk for a car that's small or fit through narrow doors? Also, consider whether you'll want to take it on walks through the city or on hikes in the woods. After you've identified the type of stroller and features you require then it's time to test some strollers.

Begin by doing a few laps in the parking lot. This will help you get accustomed to how it handles. If you'll be using it to run, test the tires for durability and check how they roll over bumps and uneven sidewalks. Consider if you need a basket for storage to carry essentials or a recliner for infants. Also, ensure that the handlebars are at an appropriate height for your stride and there's enough room in the seat for the child of your size.

If you're planning to have more children in the near future You might think about a single stroller that can be transformed into a double stroller, or a stroller board for toddlers. Babylist parents tell us one of their biggest regrets with strollers is not having a convertible model when they had the opportunity.

If you're planning to use the stroller in the rain or other weather conditions, look for accessories like sun canopy and rain covers that can be quickly and easily attached. And don't forget about safety--check for a five-point harness that is easy to unbuckle and buckle as well as a safe seat and sturdy brakes. Also, look over the hinges to ensure there aren't sharp edges or areas where a finger might become stuck. Then, make sure the stroller is compliant with the safety standards of your state and local authorities. Finally, e tandems, side-by-sides and wagons. A majority of the dual-strollers we tested can accommodate a second child's seat, or a third if you add a piggybackboard (sold separately). Tandem strollers offer more configurations for different levels and ages than side-byside models, but they are also often larger in dimensions and heavier in weight.

Parents of twins want a double stroller with the same seating arrangement as their children. They will also likely need one that can accommodate two infant car seats at once and this is something that only a few of our best-rated double strollers have. A tandem stroller is best for twins who are comparable in age or capability. However the seating arrangement depends on the distance each twin is and which features they prefer.

In our tests, all tandem strollers we tested were easy to maneuver and had a large turning radius. However, they could not turn as well as a single stroller in small areas and could be difficult to navigate around curbs. Most of the side-by-side strollers we reviewed fit in the majority of doors that are standard, but they may have a more narrow aisle than a single stroller.

Some of the side-by-sides that we tested included the option of a second seat for toddlers, but you couldn't switch them out and in. This could be beneficial in the event that your children are of different ages. The UPPAbaby Vista V2 Double is an exception to this rule and it allows you to easily switch between single standing stroller 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 a few of the most effective options that are available. They provide the convenience of keeping both children within reach at all times, and have plenty of storage space for your items. Some come with parent consoles that can aid in keeping track of your child's wants and requirements. Some are priced at the same cost as our top single strollers, whereas others are more expensive.

Strollers for three children

If you have three children (or one singleton with two older twins) you'll require a stroller that can accommodate all of them. It's a major purchase, so shop around to find the right model for your family size, lifestyle and budget.

For a triple stroller which can grow with your children consider the Graco Ready2Grow LX. It has a front bench seat designed to accommodate bassinets or infant car seats, and an rear seat that can be converted into a toddler seat when the child is 6 months old. The seat can be used as a standing platform for children in preschool and you can also use the tray for parents that comes with cup holders and storage compartments.

Another excellent 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. The rear seat can be added to the stroller to create triple tandem, and includes the standard third seat for your largest child. This model is particularly suitable for twins or siblings who are close in age, where the older child will sit in the front seat, while the younger one will be in the rear seat.

Quad strollers are popular with parents. They are essentially double strollers with an extra seat at the back. While they aren't easy to maneuver in tight spaces, they do offer more seating options than the standard double. One of the best options is the Foundations Trio Sport 4-Passenger Stroller, which is relatively inexpensive and has received excellent reviews from parents who have used it.

Strollers can be used to transport your kids and offer them a safe and comfortable space to unwind when you're out. When it's time to buy a stroller, you need to understand the distinction between single and double strollers so that you can choose the best model for your family. It doesn't matter which model you choose it's important to choose a stroller with ergonomic handlebars that are easy to steer and push for long periods of time.
