Choosing a Stroller That's Right For You
A stroller is a four-wheeled and often folded, chair-like vehicle in which small children are pushed. It is a great method to enjoy a relaxing walk or run in the open air.
Kidsland offers a wide range of single and dual strollers. Our store best sellers include the Peg Perego Primo Viaggio 3-in-1 Convertible Car Seat/Stroller.
Choosing a Stroller
Strollers are a baby's best friend--they allow parents to easily transport their kiddos around town or explore the great outdoors or navigate crowded shopping malls. However, choosing the best stroller for your child and your family's needs is essential to a smooth ride. Consider the location and frequency you will use the stroller before selecting one that is right for you. Will it have to handle rough terrain, fit in a small car trunk or fit through doors that are narrow? Consider whether you will be walking in the city or hiking in the woods. Once you've determined the stroller type and features you require, it's time to test some strollers.
Begin by doing some laps in the parking lot. This will help you become accustomed to the way it handles. If you plan to use it to jog, check the wheels for wear and check how they roll over bumps and uneven sidewalks. Then, consider whether you require an extra storage basket to store essentials or a recliner for babies. Be sure that the handlebars can be positioned to allow you to walk comfortably and there is enough space for the child of your height in the seat.
If you're thinking to have more children in the near future, think about investing in one 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 buying the convertible model when they had the opportunity.
If you plan to use the stroller in the rainy season or other weather conditions, make sure that accessories like rain covers and sun umbrellas can be attached quickly and easily. And don't forget about safety--check for a five-point harness system that's easy to unbuckle and buckle, a secure seat and sturdy brakes. Also, look over the hinges to make sure there are no sharp edges or areas where a tiny finger could be stuck. Then, make sure the stroller complies with the safety standards of the state and local level. And lastly, test it out with your kid to ensure that you feel at ease.
Strollers for One child
If you only have one kid and only one stroller, a single model could be all you need. These strollers are usually smaller than the larger models and have the same safety features as larger strollers with a canopy to shield your child from wind and sun. They are also more mobile and have fewer components that can break.
If your baby is small and still in an infant car seat, a stroller that has a built-in infant carrier might be the perfect choice for you. 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're generally more user-friendly than convertible or double strollers, and can cost less upfront and also, more affordable.
An all-in-one stroller can also be a good option for older children. These strollers have a large and spacious basket that can carry your child's things and will fit most infant diaper bags. They are also easy to maneuver and narrow enough to fit in a bathroom stall or doorway. Plus, they fold easily and can be put in a closet or behind the seat of the car for quick transportation.
Consider a convertible stroller if you want a stroller to grow with your family. These strollers come with a base frame that can accommodate up to two toddler seats or even a bassinet (carriers and adapters are sold separately). They're generally more expensive than single-seat strollers but they're a great investment for families who wish to move around with ease and are flexible in terms of seating. The UPPAbaby Vista v2 is our top recommendation for a top-quality convertible stroller with top features and can hold up to three kids easily (age-dependent).
Strollers for Two Children
If you have two young children, a double stroller is a must to transport them both simultaneously. There are many different alternatives, such as tandems, side-byside strollers and wagons. A majority of the dual-strollers we tested could accommodate a second child's seat, or a third if you include a piggyback board (sold separately). Tandem strollers offer more configurations for different age groups and stages than side-by-side models however, they are typically larger in size and heavier in weight.
Parents of twins want a double stroller that has the same seating arrangement as their children. Pushchairs And Prams will also likely require one that can fit two infant car seats simultaneously and this is something that only a few of our top-rated double strollers have. Twins who are similar in age or capability may be better off using a tandem stroller, but the type of seating will also depend on how far apart they are in terms of age and what features they each prefer.
In our tests, we found that all of the tandem strollers we tested were easy to maneuver and had a a wide turning radius. They didn't turn as well in tight spaces as a single stroller and could be difficult to maneuver around curbs. The majority of the side-byside strollers that we tested fit through standard doors. However, they could have a narrower aisle than a single-stroller.
A few strollers that we tested worked with an additional toddler seat, however, they did not permit you to swap seats out and in which could be beneficial if your children are at different ages. The UPPAbaby Vista Double is an exception to this rule and allows you to easily change between double and single mode using its convertible frame.
Side-by-side strollers are among the most popular style in our double stroller category, and we've compared some of the best options that are available. Most have ample storage space and let you keep both children within sight. Some include parent consoles that help you keep the track of your child's wants and needs. They are typically more expensive than a single stroller but some have price tags that are in line with or less than those of our top single strollers.
Strollers for three children
If you have three kids (or one singleton with two older twins), you'll need a stroller that can fit all of them. It's a major purchase, so do your research to find a model that suits your family's size as well as your lifestyle and budget.
For a triple stroller which can grow with your children consider the Graco Ready2Grow LX. It has an front bench seat designed to hold bassinets and infant car seats, as well as a rear seat that converts into a toddler seat once the child is 6 months old. The seat can be used as a standing platform for children in preschool, and you can use the included parent tray with cup holders and storage compartments.
The Joovy Big Caboose is another great triple stroller. It comes with two forward-facing reclined car seats that can accommodate children as tall as 32 inches tall. You can also add the rear seat accessory to transform it into a triple tandem stroller with a third regular seat for your oldest child. This model is ideal for twins and siblings that are similar in age. The older child will be in the front seat, whereas the younger one will sit in the rear.
Quad strollers are very popular with parents. They are essentially double strollers that have an additional seat at the back. These models are not as easy to maneuver, but they offer more seating options compared to the standard double. One option is the Foundations Trio Sport 4-Person Stroller which is inexpensive and has received excellent reviews from parents who have used it.
Strollers are crucial for transporting your children around and offering them a comfortable, safe place to relax traveling. But when it comes time to buy a brand new stroller, you should know the distinctions between double and single strollers to determine the most suitable model for your family. It doesn't matter which model you choose it's important to select a stroller that has ergonomic handlebars that are comfortable to steer and push for long periods of time.
