Selecting a Stroller

Strollers are the best baby companions. They let parents easily transport their children around town or take them to the great outdoors, or stroll through crowded malls. It is crucial to select the right stroller single (this article) for your child and family. To select a stroller that's right for you, first consider where you'll use it and how often. Will it need to take on tough terrains and fit into a small car trunk or maneuver through narrow doorways? Also, consider whether you'll need to take it on walks around the city or on hikes in the woods. After you've identified the type of stroller and features you need, it's time to test some strollers.

Start with a few laps around the parking lot to familiarize yourself with the way it handles and maneuvers. If you intend to use it for jogging, test the wheels' durability and how well they move on uneven and bumpy pavements. Then, decide whether you'll need a basket for storage to carry essentials or a recliner for infants. Make sure that the handlebars can be positioned to allow you to walk comfortably and there is enough room for an infant of your height in the seat.

If you're thinking on having more kids in the near future, you should consider investing in one stroller that converts into a double, or allows you to add a stroller board (for toddlers). One of the most common stroller regrets for parents of Babylist is not buying a convertible model.

If you're planning to use the stroller in the rain or other weather conditions make sure you have accessories such as sun canopy and rain covers that can be swiftly and easily attached. Don't forget to think about safety. Look for a five-point harness system that is easy to buckle and unbuckle, a secure seating position and strong brakes. Also, check the hinges to ensure there aren't sharp edges or places where a tiny finger could get stuck. Also, ensure that the stroller is compliant with the safety standards of the state and local level. Last but not least, test it out with your child to ensure that you feel at ease.

Strollers for One Child

They also have a large canopy that protects your baby from sun and wind. These strollers are also more maneuverable, and they have fewer parts to break.

If your baby is young and is still in an infant car seat, a stroller that has an infant carrier built-in could be the ideal option for you. These strollers are made with sturdy frames that can hold several seats and even a second baby car seat. They're usually easier to use than double or convertible strollers and might cost less upfront as well.

An all-in-one stroller can also be a good option for older children. They typically come with an enormous, spacious basket that can accommodate your child's things and can fit the majority of diaper bags.

Strollers for Two Children

A majority of the dual-strollers we tested can accommodate the second child's seat or a third one if you add a piggyback board (sold separately). Tandem strollers are available in a variety of designs to accommodate different ages and stages. However they're generally heavier and bulkier than side-byside models.

Parents of twins will want a double stroller with the same seating arrangement as their children. They will also likely require one that can fit two infant car seats at once which is something only a few of our best-rated double strollers can offer. A tandem stroller is the best for twins who are comparable in age or ability. However, the seating style also depends on how far apart each twin is and the features they like best.

In our tests, all of the tandem strollers we tested were easy to maneuver with a a large turning radius. However, they didn't turn as smoothly as one stroller in narrow spaces and could be difficult to maneuver around curbs. Most of the side-by-side strollers we reviewed fit in the majority of doors, however they may have a more narrow aisle than a single stroller.

Some strollers that were side-by-side we tested could be used with an additional toddler seat, however, they don't permit you to swap seats between the two this would be useful when your children are of opposite age groups.
