How to Choose a Stroller

Strollers can be the perfect companion for parents. They let parents easily transport their children around town, discover nature or navigate busy shopping malls. But choosing the best stroller for your child as well as your family's needs is essential to a smooth ride. To pick a stroller suitable for you, first consider where you'll be using it and how often. Will it have to handle rough terrain, fit in the trunk of a car that is small or fit through narrow doors? Think about whether you'll be taking it on city walks or out in the woods. After you've identified the type of stroller and features you require then it's time to test some strollers.

Start with a few laps around the parking area to get familiar with how it handles and maneuvers. If you'll be using it to jog, check the tires for durability and test out how well they move over bumps and uneven sidewalks. Consider if you'd like a basket to store your essentials or a reclining seat for newborns. Make sure the handlebars are able to fit your stride comfortably and that there is enough room for a child of your size in the seat.

If you plan to have more children in the near future You might want to consider a single stroller which can be transformed into a double stroller, or a stroller board for toddlers. One of the most common stroller regrets of Babylist parents is not purchasing convertible models.

If you'll be using the stroller in the rain or other inclement weather consider accessories such as sun canopies and rain covers that can be quickly and easily connected. Don't forget safety. Look for a five-point harness system that is easy to buckle and unbuckle, a secure seating position and robust brakes. Also, examine the hinges to make sure there aren't sharp edges or spots where a small finger could become stuck. Also, ensure that the stroller is compliant with the safety standards of your state and local authorities. Then, test it out with your kid to make sure that you both feel comfortable.

Strollers for One Child

If you only have one child one stroller may be all you require. These strollers are usually smaller than larger models and have the same safety features that larger strollers have with a canopy to shield your child from wind and sun. These strollers are also more maneuverable and they have fewer parts to break.

If your baby is still young and is still in a car seat for infants, an all-in-one stroller with an integrated infant carrier could be the perfect choice for you. These strollers have strong frames that can hold multiple seats, or even a second infant car seat that can be attached to the base. They're usually easier to use than convertible strollers or double strollers and might cost less up front, too.

An all-in-one Stroller Single can also be a good choice for older infants. These strollers typically have a big, spacious basket that can hold your child's things and can fit most diaper bags. They are also easy to maneuver and are narrow enough to fit into the bathroom or doorway. They can be folded up and stored in a car's back seat or in a closet for easy transport.

If you're seeking a stroller that will grow with your family, you should consider a convertible model. These strollers have a base frame which can accommodate up to two toddler seats or even a bassinet for a baby. (Adapters and carriers are sold separately). These strollers are usually more expensive than single-seaters, but are a great investment if you want to travel light with your children and can be adapted to seating. The UPPAbaby Vista v2 is our top recommendation for a premium convertible stroller that comes with premium features and can carry up to three children with ease (age-dependent).

Strollers for Two Kids

If you have two small children A double stroller is essential to help you transport both of them at the same time. There are a variety of options available, including side-by-side strollers, tandems and wagons. Many of the double strollers we tested are able to accommodate a second child seat, or even a third one if you add a piggyback ride-along board (sold separately). Tandem strollers come in more models to meet the needs of different ages and stages. However they tend to be 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 require one that is able to accommodate two infant car seats at the same time which is something only a few of our best-rated double strollers can offer. Twins who are close in age or ability might be better off with a tandem stroller, but the choice of seating style will depend on the distance between them in age and what features they each prefer.

In our tests, we observed that all the tandem strollers that we tested were easy to maneuver and had a wide turning radius. They did not turn as smoothly in tight spaces as a single stroller and it could be difficult to navigate curbs. The majority of side-byside strollers we tested fit through standard doors. However, they could have a shorter aisle than a cheap single stroller stroller.

Some of the side-by-sides we test had an additional seat for toddlers, but you couldn't switch them out and in. This is a great feature for families with children of different age groups. The UPPAbaby V2 Double is an exception to this rule. It allows you to easily switch between double and single mode using its convertible frame.
