Choosing a Stroller

Strollers are a baby's best friend--they let parents easily transport their children around the city and explore the great outdoors or navigate the crowded malls. But choosing the right stroller for your child and your family's needs is crucial for a smooth ride. Think about where and how often you'll be using the stroller to choose one that is suitable for you. Do you need it to navigate rough terrain, fit into a small car trunk or fit through narrow doors? Think about whether you'll be walking around the city or hiking in the woods. Once you've determined the type of stroller and features you require you can test some strollers.

Start with some laps around the parking area to familiarize yourself with its handling and moves. If you plan to use it for jogging, check the durability of the wheels and how well they roll on uneven pavements and bumps. Then, decide if you need an extra storage basket to store essentials or a recliner for babies. Be sure that the handlebars are able to fit your stride comfortably and there is enough room for the child of your size in the seat.

If you are planning to have more children in the near future, you may be interested in a single stroller that could be transformed into a double stroller or a stroller board for toddlers. One of the most common stroller regrets for Babylist parents is not buying an convertible model.

Finally, if you'll be using the stroller during rain or other inclement weather, look for accessories like rain covers and sun canopies that can be quickly and easily attached. Don't forget to think about safety. Check for a five-point harness that is easy to buckle and unbuckle, a secure seating position and sturdy brakes. Also, check the hinges to ensure there are no sharp edges or spots where a small finger could become stuck. Verify that the stroller meets the safety standards of the state and local authorities. Last but not least, test it out with your child to make sure you both are at ease.

Strollers for One Child

You may only need one stroller if have a single child. These strollers are usually smaller than the larger models and come with the same safety features as larger strollers that include a large canopy that protects your baby from sun and wind. They're also generally more flexible and have fewer parts that may break.

If your child is in an infant seat, strollers that have an infant carrier built-in might be a good choice. These strollers are made with sturdy frames that can accommodate more than one seat and even a second car seat. They are generally easier to use and are less expensive in the beginning than convertible or double strollers.

A stroller that's all-in-one is a great choice for older children. They come with a big and spacious basket that can store your child's belongings and can fit most baby diaper bags. They are also easy to maneuver and are narrow enough to fit in a bathroom stall or doorway. They can be folded up and stored in a car's back or closet for easy transportation.

If you're looking for a stroller which can adapt to your growing family, consider a convertible model. They come with frames that can accommodate up to two toddler seats or even a bassinet for a baby. (Adapters and carriers are sold separately). They are generally more expensive than single-seaters, however they are a great investment when you're looking to travel light with your children and can be adapted to seating. The UPPAbaby Vista v2 is our top recommendation for a top-quality convertible stroller that offers premium features and can accommodate up to three kids comfortably (age-dependent).

Strollers for Two Children

If you have two young children A double stroller is essential to help you move both at the same time. There are many options like tandems, side-by-sides and wagons. Many of the dual-strollers we tested can accommodate the second child's seat or a third if you include a piggyback board (sold separately). Tandem strollers come in more designs to accommodate different levels of ages and ages. However, they are often heavier and bulkier than side-byside models.

Parents of twins want a double stroller that has the same seating arrangement as their children. They'll likely need one that can accommodate two infant car seats at the same time which is something only a handful of our top-rated double strollers have. Twins who are similar in age or ability might be better off with 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 prefer.

In our tests, all of the tandem strollers we tested were easy to maneuver with a large turning radius. They did not turn as smoothly in tight spaces as a single stroller and can be a challenge to navigate curbs. The majority of side-by-side strollers that we tested could fit through doors that are standard. However, they may have a shorter aisle than a single stroller.

A few strollers that we tested worked with an additional toddler seat, however, they did not allow you to swap the seats out and in which could be beneficial for children who are at opposite age groups. The UPPAbaby V2 Double is the exception to this rule. It allows you to easily switch between single and double mode with its convertible frame.

We've compared the top double strollers available. Most have ample storage space and permit you to keep both children in your view. Some have parent consoles that assist you in keeping track of your child's wants and needs. Some are priced at the same price as our best single running stroller strollers, whereas others are more expensive.

Strollers for three children

You'll need to find a stroller that can accommodate all your children if you have three (or two older twins and a singleton). It's a big purchase, so you'll need to shop around to find the right model for your family size and lifestyle as well as your budget.

For a triple stroller that will grow with your kids look into the Graco Ready2Grow LX.

Another great triple stroller option is the Joovy Big Caboose. It comes with two forward-facing reclined car seats that can fit children up to 32 inches tall. The rear seat accessory can be added to the stroller, making it a triple tandem, with a regular third seat for your largest child. This model is ideal for twins and siblings who are similar in age. The older child will sit on the front seat, while the younger child will be in the rear.

Quad strollers are a favorite among parents. They are basically double strollers with an additional seat at the back. These models aren't as maneuverable, but they provide more seating options to the standard double. One good choice is the Foundations Trio Sport 4-Person Stroller which is inexpensive and has received excellent reviews from parents who have used it.
