Choosing a Stroller That's Right For You

A stroller is a four-wheeled, often collapsible, chairlike carriage in which children are carried. It's a great way to take a relaxing run or walk outdoors.

Kidsland offers a variety of single and dual strollers. Our top-selling items in the store are the Peg Perego Primo Viaggio 3-in-1 Convertible Car Seat/Stroller.

How to Choose a Stroller

Strollers are a baby's best friend--they allow parents to easily take their kiddos around the city, explore the great outdoors or navigate crowded shopping malls. It's important to choose the right stroller that suits your child and your family. Think about where and how often you'll be using the stroller before selecting one that is appropriate for you. Do you want it to go on tough terrains and fit into a small car trunk or maneuver through narrow doors? Consider whether you'll be walking in the city or hiking in the woods. Once you've settled on the type of stroller you want and features you want you can test drive different models.

Start by doing some laps in the parking lot. This will help you become accustomed to the way it moves. If you're planning to use it for jogging, test the wheels for wear and test out how well they roll over bumps and uneven sidewalks. Consider if you need an extra storage basket to store essentials or a recliner for infants. Also, make sure the handlebars are at a comfortable height for your stride and there's enough room in the seat to hold the size of a child.

Next, if you're planning on having more kids in the future, 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 biggest stroller regrets for parents of Babylist is not purchasing convertible models.

If you intend to use the stroller during stormy or bad weather ensure that the accessories like sun umbrellas and rain covers are attached quickly and easily. Don't forget to think about safety. Make sure you have a five-point harness that is easy to buckle and unlock, a secure seating position and sturdy brakes. Examine the hinges for any sharp edges or areas where fingers could get stuck. Check that the stroller meets local and state safety regulations. Then make sure to test it with your child to make sure you both are comfortable.

Strollers for Two Children

If you have two young children, a double stroller is a must to transport them both at once. There are a variety of options, including side-by-side strollers, tandems and wagons. A majority of the double strollers we tested are able to accommodate an additional child seat or even a third if you add a piggyback ride-along boards (sold separately).

They will likely require a stroller that is able to accommodate two infant car seats simultaneously this is something that very few of our top-rated double strollers offer. Twins who are near in age or abilities may do better with a tandem stroller, however the choice of seating style will depend on how far apart they are in age and what features each prefers.

In our tests, all of the tandem strollers we tested were easy to maneuver with a a large turning radius. However, they could not turn as well as a single stroller in small spaces, and may be difficult to navigate around curbs. Most of the side-by-side strollers we examined fit into the majority of doors that are standard, but they might have a narrow aisle than a single buggy for sale stroller.

Some of the side-by-sides that we tested had an additional seat for toddlers however, you could not swap them in and out. This would be useful in the event that your children are of different ages.
