Choosing a Stroller That's Right For You

A stroller is an often folded four-wheeled vehicle that children of all ages are being pushed into. It is a wonderful way to take a leisurely walk or run outside.

Kidsland offers a variety of double and single seat buggy strollers. Our top sellers in the store include the Peg Perego Primo Viaggio 3-in-1 Convertible Car Seat/Stroller.

Selecting a Stroller

Strollers are a baby's best friend--they let parents easily transport their kiddos around town or take them to the great outdoors, or navigate crowded shopping malls. However, choosing the best stroller for your child and family's needs is crucial to a smooth ride. To pick a stroller ideal for you, you must first consider where you'll use it and how often. Will it need to traverse rough terrain, fit in a trunk for a car that's small, or maneuver through doors that are narrow? Also, consider whether you'll need to take it on walks through the city or on hikes in the woods. After you've decided on the type of stroller and features you'd like to have, you can test drive several models.

Begin by taking some laps around the parking area to familiarize yourself with the way it handles and maneuvers. If you plan to use it to jog, check the wheels for durability and check how they roll over bumps and uneven sidewalks. Then, decide if you need an extra storage basket to store essentials or a recliner for babies. Also, make sure the handlebars are a comfortable height for your stride and there's enough space in the seat to hold a child your size.

If you plan to have more children in the near future You might be interested in a single stroller that can be transformed into a double stroller, or a stroller board for toddlers. Parents on Babylist say that one of their biggest regrets with strollers is not having the convertible model when they had the chance.

If you're planning to use the stroller during rain or other weather conditions, look for accessories like sun canopies and rain covers that can be swiftly and easily attached. Don't forget safety. Make sure you have a five point harness system that is easy to buckle and unlock and secure seating and sturdy brakes. Also, check the hinges to make sure there aren't sharp edges or places where a tiny finger could become stuck. Verify that the stroller meets the safety standards of the state and local authorities. Finally, try it out with your child to make sure that you're both at ease.

Strollers for One Child

If you only have one kid, a single buggy for sale stroller might be all you require. They are typically smaller than the larger models and come with the same safety features as larger strollers with a canopy to shield your child from the sun and wind. They're also often more mobile and have fewer components that can break.

If your baby is small and is 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 multiple seats or even an additional infant car seat attached to the base. They're typically more convenient to use than double or convertible strollers and may cost less up front, too.

A stroller that is all-in-one can be a great option for older children. They come with a big and spacious basket that can store your child's belongings 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. Plus, they fold easily and can be tucked away in a closet or behind the seat of the car for quick transport.

Consider a convertible stroller when you need a stroller that can grow with your family. They come with frames that can accommodate up to two toddler chairs or even a bassinet (carriers and adapters are available separately). They're generally more expensive than single person buggy-seat strollers but they're a great option for families that want to travel light and are flexible in seating. The UPPAbaby Vista V2 is our top choice for a top-quality convertible stroller that offers premium features and can carry up to three children with ease (age-dependent).

Strollers for Two Kids

A double stroller can help you transport two children at once when you have more than one. There are a variety of options including tandems, side-by sides, and wagons. A majority of the double strollers we tested have the capacity to accommodate a second child seat, or even a third if you add a piggyback ride-along boards (sold separately). Tandem strollers come with more options for different levels and ages than side-byside models however, they are typically larger in dimensions and heavier in weight.

Parents of twins will want a stroller that offers the same seating arrangements as their children, and they will probably also need a stroller that can accept two infant car seats simultaneously this is something that very few of our top-rated double strollers do. A tandem stroller is best for twins who are similar in age or capability. However, the seating style also depends on how far apart each twin is in age and the features they like best.

In our tests, we found that all of the tandem strollers we tested were easy to maneuver and had a wide turning radius. However, they could not turn as well as a single stroller in tight areas and could be difficult to navigate around curbs. The majority of the strollers we tested fit through the majority of doors, however they might have a narrow aisle than one stroller.

A few strollers that we tested could be used with an additional toddler seat, however, they did not allow you to swap seats in and out, which would be helpful if your children are at different age ranges. The UPPAbaby Vista V2 Double is an exception to this rule and it lets you easily change between double and single mode by using its convertible 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 that are available.
