Choosing a Stroller That's Right For You

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 top sellers.

How to Select a Stroller

Strollers are the best baby companions. They allow parents to easily transport their children around the city and explore the great outdoors or stroll through crowded malls. However, choosing the right stroller for your child as well as your family's needs is vital for a smooth ride. Consider where and how often you will use the stroller to select one that is suitable for you. Do you want it to go on rough terrain and fit into a small car trunk or navigate narrow doorways? Consider whether you will be taking it on city walks or hiking in the woods. Once you've decided on the type of stroller and features you require you can test some strollers.

Begin by running a few laps in the parking lot. This will allow you to get used to the way it handles. If you intend to use it for jogging, check the wheels' durability and how they perform on uneven and bumpy pavements. Consider if you need an extra storage basket to store essentials or a reclining seat for infants. Be sure that the handlebars are able to fit your stride comfortably and there's enough space for a child of your height in the seat.

If you're thinking to have more children in the near future, you should consider investing in one stroller that can be converted into a double or allows you to add a stroller board (for toddlers). One of the most common stroller regrets of Babylist parents is not purchasing convertible models.

Also, if you're planning to use the stroller in the rain or other inclement weather make sure you have accessories such as rain covers and sun canopies that can be swiftly and easily connected. Be sure to consider 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. Also, look over the hinges to make sure there aren't sharp edges or places where a tiny finger could be stuck. Then, make sure the stroller is compliant with the safety standards of your state and local authorities. Finally, try it out with your child to make sure you're both comfortable.

Strollers for One Child

You may only require one stroller if you have a single stroller with standing board child. These strollers are generally smaller than larger strollers and come with the same safety features.

If your baby is still young and is still in a car seat for infants, a stroller that has an integrated infant carrier could be the perfect choice for you. These strollers feature sturdy frames that can hold multiple seats or even a second infant car seat that can be attached to the base. They are generally easier to use and are less expensive upfront than convertible or double strollers.

An all-in-one stroller could be a great option for older children. They come with a big, spacious basket to hold your child's items and will fit most infant diaper bags. They are also easy to maneuver and are narrow enough to fit inside the bathroom doorway or stall. Additionally, they fold easily and can be tucked away in a closet or behind the seat of the vehicle for easy transport.

If you're looking for a stroller that will grow with your family, you should consider a convertible model. These strollers have an aluminum frame that can hold two toddler seats or even an infant bassinet (carriers and adapters are sold separately). These strollers are typically more expensive than single-seaters, but are a great investment if you want to move around with your kids in a light manner and are able to accommodate a variety of seating.

Strollers for Two Children

A majority of the dual-strollers we tested can accommodate an additional child's seat or a third one if you add a piggybackboard (sold separately). Tandem strollers come with more options for different levels and ages than side-byside models, but they are also generally larger in size and heavier in weight.

Parents of twins want a double stroller with the same seating arrangement as their children. They'll likely require one that is able to accommodate two infant car seats simultaneously which is something only a handful of our top-rated double strollers offer. Twins who are close in age or ability may be better off using a tandem stroller, but the seating arrangement will 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 and had a large turning radius. They didn't turn as well in tight spaces as a single stroller and can be a challenge to maneuver around curbs. The majority of the strollers we reviewed fit in the majority of doors, however they might have a narrow aisle than a single convertible stroller stroller.

A few strollers that we tested were compatible with a second toddler seat, however, they don't allow you to swap the seats out and in, which would be helpful if your children are at opposite age ranges. The UPPAbaby Vista Double is an exception to this rule, and it allows you to easily switch between cheap single stroller and double mode by using its convertible frame.
