How to Choose a Stroller

Strollers are the best friend of parents. They allow parents to easily transport their children around town, discover nature or navigate busy shopping malls. It's important to choose the right stroller that suits your child and your family. Think about where and how often you'll be using the stroller to select one that is suitable for you. Will it need to take on difficult terrains and fit into a small car trunk or navigate narrow doorways? Also, think about whether you'll want to stroll with it in the city or on hikes in the woods. Once you've decided on the type of stroller you want and the features you need, it's time to test some strollers.

Begin with a few laps around the parking lot to become familiar with the way it handles and moves. If you plan to use it to jog, check the tires for durability and check how they roll over bumps and uneven sidewalks. Consider if you'd like an essentials storage basket or a reclining seat for newborns. Make sure that the handlebars can be positioned to allow you to walk comfortably and there's enough space for the child of your size in the seat.

Next, if you're planning to have more children in the near future, think about investing in a single pushchairs stroller that converts into a double or allows you to add a stroller board (for toddlers). Babylist parents tell us that one of their biggest regrets with strollers is not buying the convertible model when they had the chance.

Finally, if you're planning to use the stroller in the rain or other inclement weather, look for accessories like sun canopy and rain covers that can be swiftly and easily connected. Be sure to consider safety. Make sure you have a five point harness system that is easy to buckle and unbuckle, a secure seating position and sturdy brakes. Also, examine the hinges to make sure there aren't sharp edges or spots where a tiny finger could be stuck. Verify that the stroller meets local and state safety regulations. And lastly make sure to test it with your child to make sure you both feel comfortable.

Strollers for One Child

You may only require one stroller if you have a single pushchairs child. These strollers tend to be smaller than full-sized strollers and have the same safety features. They also come with an enormous canopy that shields your baby from sun and wind. These strollers are also more maneuverable, and they have fewer components to break.

If your baby is young and still in a car seat that is for infants, a stroller that has an integrated infant carrier could be the best option for you. These strollers are built with sturdy frames that can accommodate more than one seat and even a second car seat. They're typically more convenient to use than double or convertible strollers and might cost less upfront as well.

A stroller that is all-in-one can be a great option for older children. These strollers typically have a big, spacious basket that can accommodate your child's belongings and accommodate the majority of diaper bags.

Strollers for Two Children

Tandem strollers are available in a variety of designs to accommodate different levels of ages and ages. However they're generally heavier and larger than side-by-side models.

Parents of twins will need a Stroller Single with the same seating arrangement as their children, and they will likely require a stroller that is able to accommodate two infant car seats at the same time which is something that only a handful of our top-rated double strollers can do. Twins who are similar in age or ability might be better off with a tandem stroller, but the type of seating will also depend on the distance between them in terms of age and what features each prefers.

In our tests, we observed that all the tandem strollers that we tested were easy to maneuver and had a an ample turning radius. However, they didn't turn as smoothly as a single stroller in small spaces, and may be difficult to maneuver around curbs. Most of the side-by-side strollers we reviewed fit in most standard doors, but they might have a narrow aisle than one stroller.

A few of the side-by sides we test had an additional seat for toddlers however you couldn't swap them in and out. This is a great feature in the event that your children are of different age ranges. The UPPAbaby Vista Double is an exception to this rule, and it lets you easily switch between double and single mode with its convertible frame.
