How to Choose a Stroller
Strollers are a child's best single travel stroller friend. They let parents easily transport their children around the city, explore the great outdoors or stroll through crowded malls. However, selecting the right stroller for your child and family's needs is vital for a smooth ride. To pick a stroller right for you, first consider where you'll be using it and how often. Will it need to take on rough terrain, fit in a compact single stroller car trunk or maneuver through narrow doorways? Also, consider whether you'll want to stroll with it in the city or out in the woods. After you've identified the stroller type and features you require you can test some strollers.
Begin by doing some laps in the parking lot. This will help you get accustomed to the way it moves. If you're planning to use it to run, test the wheels for durability and test out how well they handle bumps and uneven sidewalks. Then, decide whether you require a basket for storage to carry essentials or a reclining chair for newborns. Make sure that the handlebars are able to fit your stride comfortably and there is enough room for the child of your size to sit in the seat.
If you're thinking to have more children in the near future, think about buying one stroller that can be converted into a double, or allows you to add a stroller board (for toddlers). Babylist parents tell us one of their biggest stroller regrets is not buying an convertible model when they had the chance.
Also, if you'll be using the stroller during rain or other conditions that aren't ideal, look for accessories like rain covers and sun canopies that can be quickly and easily connected. Be sure to consider safety. Look for a five-point harness system that is easy to buckle and unlock and secure seating and strong brakes. Check the hinges for sharp edges or places where a finger might get stuck. Verify that the stroller meets local and state safety regulations. Finally, try it out with your child to ensure that you're both at ease.
Strollers for One Child
If you only have one child, a single stroller might be all you require. These strollers tend to be smaller than the larger ones and come with the same safety features. They also come with a large canopy that protects your child from the elements of the sun and wind. These strollers are also more maneuverable, and they have fewer parts to break.
If your baby is still young and is still in an infant car seat, an all-in-one stroller with a built-in infant carrier might be the perfect choice for you. These strollers are built with sturdy frames that can accommodate more than one seat and even a second car seat. They're generally more user-friendly than double or convertible strollers and might cost less upfront, too.
A stroller that is all-in-one can be a great option for older infants. They come with a big wide basket that can carry your child's things and can accommodate most baby diaper bags. They are also easily maneuverable and narrow enough to fit into the bathroom or doorway. They can be folded and put away in a car's back or closet for quick transport.
Consider a convertible stroller if you want a stroller to grow with your family. These strollers have frames that can accommodate up to two toddler chairs or even a bassinet (carriers and adapters are sold separately). They're usually more expensive than single-seat strollers, but they're a great investment for families who want to travel light and have flexibility in seating. The UPPAbaby Vista V2 is a stroller that can be converted with top features that can fit up to three children (age-dependent).
Strollers for Two Children
If you have two young children A double stroller is a must to transport them both at once. There are many different options, including tandems, side-byside strollers and wagons. A majority of the dual-strollers we tested can accommodate a second child's seat, or a third if you add a piggyback board (sold separately). Tandem strollers have more configurations for different ages and stages than side-by-side models however they are typically larger in size and heavier in weight.
Parents of twins would like twin strollers that have the same seating arrangement as their children. They will also likely require one that can fit two infant car seats at once and this is something that only a handful of our top-rated double strollers offer. Twins who are similar in age or capability might be better off with a tandem stroller, but the choice of seating style will also depend on how far apart they are in age and what features each prefers.
In our tests, we observed that all of the tandem strollers that we tested were easy to maneuver and came with a a wide turning radius. However, they could not turn as easily as a single stroller in small spaces and could be difficult to maneuver around curbs. The majority of the strollers we examined fit into the majority of doors that are standard, 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 could be beneficial in the event that your children are of different age ranges. The UPPAbaby V2 Double was the exception to this rule. It allows you to effortlessly switch between single and double mode by converting its frame.
Side-by-side strollers are the most popular model in our double stroller category and we've compared some of the top options available on the market. Most come with plenty of storage space and let you keep both children within your sight. Some include parent consoles that can assist you in keeping on top of your child's desires and requirements. 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.
