Choosing a Stroller That's Right For You

A stroller is a four-wheeled, often collapsible, chairlike carriage that allows small children to be carried. It's a great option to take a relaxing walk or run.

Kidsland offers a wide selection of strollers that are dual and single. The Peg Perego PrimoViaggio 3-in-1 Car Seat/Stroller is one of our best sellers.

The choice of a Stroller

Strollers are a parent's best friend. They allow parents to easily transport their children around town, discover nature or navigate busy shopping malls. However, choosing the best stroller for your child as well as your family's needs is essential to ensure a comfortable ride. Consider the location and frequency you'll use the stroller before selecting one that is suitable for you. Will it have to handle rough terrain, fit into the trunk of a car that is small or navigate through doors that are narrow? Also, think about whether you'll need to stroll with it in the city or hikes in the woods. After you've decided on the type of stroller and features you want you can try several models.

Start by doing some laps around the parking lot. This will allow you to get used to the way it moves. If you're planning to use it to run, test the wheels for wear and see how they move over bumps and uneven sidewalks. Consider whether you require an extra storage basket to store essentials or a recliner for babies. Be sure that the handlebars can be positioned to allow you to walk comfortably and there is enough space for the child of your size in the seat.

If you're thinking to have more children in the future, consider buying a single stroller that converts into a double, or allows you to add a stroller board (for toddlers). One of the biggest stroller regrets for parents of Babylist is not buying an convertible model.

If you intend to use your stroller during rainy or other bad weather ensure that the accessories such as sun umbrellas and rain covers are attached quickly and easily. Don't forget safety. Check for a five point harness system that is easy to buckle and unlock and secure seating and robust brakes. Also, look over the hinges to ensure there are no sharp edges or places where a tiny finger could get stuck. Also, ensure that the stroller complies with local and state safety standards. Finally, try it out with your child to ensure you're both in a good place.

Strollers for One Child

If you only have one child and only one stroller, a single model could be all you need. These strollers tend to be smaller than the larger ones and have the same safety features. They also come with an enormous canopy that shields your baby from sun and wind. They are also more flexible and have fewer parts that could break.

If your baby is small and still in an infant car seat, a stroller that has a built-in infant carrier might be the perfect choice for you. These strollers have strong frames that can hold several seats or even an additional infant car seat that can be attached to the base. They're usually easier to use than convertible strollers or double strollers, and can cost less up front, too.

An all-in-one stroller could be a good option for older children. These strollers come with a large, spacious basket to hold your child's items and can accommodate most baby diaper bags. They're also easy to steer and are narrow enough to pass through a bathroom stall. They can be folded and put away in a car's back seat or closet for easy transportation.

If you're seeking a stroller that can grow with your family, consider a convertible model. These strollers have a base frame that can accommodate two toddler seats or even a bassinet (carriers and adapters are sold separately). These strollers are usually 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 pick for a high-end, convertible stroller that comes with premium features and can accommodate up to three kids with ease (age-dependent).

Strollers for Two Children

If you have two small children it is essential to help you transport both of them at once. There are many options including tandems, side-by sides, and wagons. Many of the dual-strollers we tested could accommodate an additional child's seat or a third one if you add a piggybackboard (sold separately). Tandem strollers are available in different configurations to suit different ages and stages. However, they are often heavier and larger than side-by-side models.

Parents of twins want a double stroller with the same seating arrangement as their children. They'll also need one that can accommodate two infant car seats at the same time and this is something that only a handful of our best-rated double strollers can offer. A tandem stroller is ideal for twins who are similar in terms of age or abilities. However, the seating style also depends on the distance each twin is and what features they prefer.

In our tests, we found that all of the tandem strollers we tested were easy to maneuver and came with a a wide turning radius. They didn't turn as smoothly in tight spaces as a single-stroller and can be a challenge to maneuver around curbs. The majority of the strollers we tested fit through the majority of doors that are standard, but they might have a narrow aisle than a single stroller.


Some of the side-by-sides that we tested had a second toddler's seat, but you couldn't switch them out and in. This would be useful for families with children of different ages. The UPPAbaby V2 Double was the exception to this rule. It lets you easily switch between double and single mode by converting its frame.

single lightweight stroller 've tested the top double strollers on the market. They are convenient for keeping both children in sight at all times, and most come with plenty of storage space for your equipment. Some come with parent consoles that can help you keep track of your child's wants and needs. They're 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.

Strollers for three children

You'll need a stroller that can accommodate all your children If you have three (or two older twins and one singleton). This is a major purchase, so it's best to shop around and look for a model that will suit your family's size, style of living and budget.

Try the Graco Ready2GrowLX triple stroller if you want a stroller that will grow with your kids.

Another excellent triple stroller option is the Joovy Big Caboose. It has two car-seat-compatible, forward-facing reclined seats that will fit children who are 32 inches or more tall. You can then add the rear seat accessory to transform it into an all-in-one stroller with a third regular seat for your child's oldest. This model is perfect for twins and siblings who are similar in age. The older child will be in the front seat, and the younger child will be in the rear.

Quad strollers are popular with parents. They are basically double strollers with an additional seat at the back. These strollers aren't as maneuverable however they do provide more seating options to a regular double. The Foundations Trio Sport 4 Passenger Stroller is a great option. It's relatively affordable and has received great reviews from parents.
