Choosing a Stroller
Strollers are a child's best friend. They let parents easily transport their children around town, go on adventures in the great outdoors or navigate crowded shopping malls. It's important to choose the right stroller for your child and family. Think about where and how often you'll use the stroller to choose one that is appropriate for you. Do you need it to navigate rough terrain, fit in a small car trunk or navigate through narrow doors? Also, think about whether you'll need to take it on walks through the city or out in the woods. Once you've determined the stroller type and features you require, it's time to test some strollers.
Begin with a few laps around the parking lot to become familiar with how it handles and moves. If you'll be using it to run, test the tires for durability and see how they move over bumps and uneven sidewalks. Decide if you want an essentials storage basket or a reclining seat for infants. Make sure the handlebars are able to fit your stride comfortably and there's enough space for an infant of your size in the seat.
If you are planning to have more children in the future, you may be interested in a single stroller that could be transformed into a double stroller or a stroller board for toddlers. Babylist parents tell us that one of their biggest regrets with strollers is not purchasing the convertible model when they had the opportunity.
If you plan to use your stroller during stormy or bad weather ensure that the accessories like sun umbrellas and rain covers can be put on quickly and easily. Don't forget safety. Make sure you have a five-point harness system that is easy to buckle and unlock as well as a safe seating position and strong brakes. Examine the hinges for sharp edges or areas where fingers could get stuck. Also, ensure that the stroller is compliant with the safety standards of the state and local level. Last but not least try it out with your child to ensure that you are comfortable.
Strollers for One child
If you have one child, a single stroller might be all you need. These strollers are generally smaller than full-sized strollers and come with the same safety features. They also come with an enormous canopy that shields your child from the sun and wind. These strollers are also more maneuverable and have fewer components to break.
If your child is still in an infant seat strollers with an infant carrier built in could be a great option. These strollers have strong frames that can accommodate multiple seats or even an additional infant car seat attached to the base. They're usually easier to use than convertible or double strollers and might cost less up front and also, more affordable.
A stroller that's all-in-one is a great choice for older children. They come with a big and spacious basket that can hold your child's items and can accommodate most baby diaper bags. They are also easy to maneuver and are narrow enough to fit into a bathroom stall or doorway. They fold up easily and can be stored in a closet or backseat of the vehicle for easy transport.

Strollers for Two Children
If you have two small children A double stroller Single is essential to help you transport both of them at the same time. There are a variety of alternatives, such as side-by-side strollers, tandems and wagons.

Tandem strollers are available in different configurations to suit different ages and stages. However they tend to be heavier and larger than side-by-side models.
Parents of twins will want twin strollers that have the same seating arrangement as their children. They'll also require one that can fit two infant car seats at once which is something only a handful of our top-rated double strollers have. Twins who are near in age or abilities might be better off with the tandem stroller, but the seating arrangement will depend on the distance between them in terms of age and what features they each prefer.
In our tests, all the tandem strollers we tested were easy to maneuver with large turning radius. However, they could not turn as well as a single pushchair stroller in small areas and could be difficult to maneuver around curbs. The majority of the strollers we reviewed fit in most standard doors, but they may have a more narrow aisle than a single stroller.
A few of the side-by sides we test had a second toddler's seat however, you could not swap them in and out. This would be useful if your kids are at different age groups. The UPPAbaby V2 Double is an exception to this rule. It lets you easily change between double and single mode with its convertible frame.
