How to Choose a Stroller

Strollers are the best single stroller 2024 baby companions. They allow parents to easily transport their kids around the city, go on adventures in the great outdoors or stroll through crowded malls. But choosing the right stroller for your child and your family's needs is vital to ensure a comfortable ride. Consider where and how often you will use the stroller to select one that is appropriate for you. Will it need to traverse rough terrain, fit into a trunk for a car that's small or fit through narrow doors? Think about whether you'll be taking it on city walks or out in the woods. Once you've settled on the type of stroller you want and features you'd like, you can test drive different models.

Begin with some laps around the parking lot to get familiar with its handling and moves. If you plan to use it for jogging, test the wheels for wear and test out how well they roll over bumps and uneven sidewalks. Choose if you'd like an essentials storage basket or a reclining seat for infants. Also, make sure the handlebars are an appropriate height to allow you to walk comfortably and that there's enough room in the seat to accommodate a child your size.

If you're thinking on having more kids in the near future, you should consider purchasing a single stroller that converts into a double, or allows you to add a stroller board (for toddlers). Babylist parents tell us that one of their biggest stroller regrets is not purchasing the convertible model when they had the chance.

If you're planning to use the stroller in the rain or other conditions that aren't ideal make sure you have accessories such as sun canopy and rain covers that can be swiftly and easily attached. Don't forget to think about safety. Make sure you have a five-point harness that is easy to buckle and unbuckle and secure seating and strong brakes. Also, look over the hinges to ensure there aren't sharp edges or spots where a tiny finger could become stuck. Make sure that the stroller complies with the safety standards of the state and local level. Then try it out with your child to make sure that you both are comfortable.

Strollers for One Child

You may only need one stroller if you have just one child. These strollers are generally smaller than full-sized strollers and come with the same safety features. They also have a large canopy that protects your child from wind and sun. They are also more flexible and have fewer parts that could break.

If your child is still in an infant car seat, strollers with an infant carrier included might be a good choice. These strollers have strong frames that can hold multiple seats or even a second infant car seat that is attached to the base. They're usually easier to use than convertible strollers or double strollers and might cost less upfront, too.

An all-in-one stroller can also be a good choice for older babies. They come with a big, spacious basket to carry your child's things and can fit most baby diaper bags. They are also easily maneuverable and narrow enough to fit into the bathroom or doorway. They can be folded up and stored in a car's back or closet for easy transportation.

Consider a convertible stroller if you are looking to expand your stroller with your family. They come with frames that can accommodate up to two toddler seats or even a baby bassinet. (Adapters and carriers are sold separately). These strollers are usually more expensive than single-seaters however they are a great investment when you're looking to move around with your kids in a light manner and are able to accommodate a variety of seating. The UPPAbaby Vista V2 is our top choice for a premium convertible stroller with top features and can hold up to three kids with ease (age-dependent).

Strollers for Two children

If you have two small children, a double stroller is essential to help you move both simultaneously. There are a myriad of options available including tandems, side-by-sides, and wagons. Many of the dual-strollers we tested can accommodate an additional child's seat or a third, if you add a piggyback board (sold separately). Tandem strollers are available in a variety of configurations to suit different age groups and stages. However they tend to be heavier and larger than side-by-side models.

Parents of twins will want a Stroller single that has the same seating arrangements as their children. They likely will require a stroller that is able to accommodate two infant car seats simultaneously which is something that only a handful of our top-rated double strollers offer. Twins who are similar in age or abilities might be better off with a tandem stroller, but the seating arrangement will also depend on the distance between them in terms of age and what features they prefer.

In our tests, we found that all the tandem strollers that we tested were easy to maneuver and had an ample turning radius. However, they could not turn as well as a single stroller in small spaces, and may be difficult to maneuver around curbs. The majority of the side-byside strollers that we tested fit through standard doors. However, they could have a narrower aisle than a single stroller.

Some side-by-side strollers we tested worked with a second toddler seat, but they didn't allow you to swap seats between the two which could be beneficial if your children are at different ages. 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 by far the most popular style in our double stroller category, and we've compared some of the top options available on the market. They are convenient for keeping both children within reach at all times, and most have plenty of storage space for your gear. Some have parent consoles that help you keep track of your child's wants and needs. Some are priced at the same rate as our top single strollers, while others are more expensive.

Strollers for Three Kids

You'll need the perfect stroller for your children when you have three (or two older twins and a singleton). It's a big purchase, so shop around to find a model that suits your family's size, lifestyle and budget.

Try the Graco Ready2GrowLX triple stroller if your looking for a stroller that will grow with your kids. It has a front bench seat designed to accommodate bassinets or infant car seats, as well as the rear seat converts into a toddler seat once the child is 6 months old. The seat can be used as a platform that can be used as a standing one for preschoolers, and you can use the tray for parents that comes with cup holders and storage compartments.

The Joovy Big Caboose is another excellent triple stroller. It comes with two car-seat-compatible forward-facing reclined seats that can accommodate children who are 32 inches or more tall. It is possible to add the rear seat accessory to transform it into a triple tandem stroller, with a third seat for your child's oldest. This model is especially well suited for twins or siblings of similar age, where the older child will sit in the front seat and the younger child will be in the rear seat.

Quad strollers are a favorite among parents. They are essentially double strollers that have an additional seat at the back. These models aren't as easy to maneuver however they do provide more seating options to the regular double. The Foundations Trio Sport 4 Passenger Stroller is a great choice. It's relatively affordable and has received excellent reviews from parents.

Strollers can be used to transport your children and offer them a safe, comfortable place to relax when you're out. When it's time to buy a new stroller, be aware of the differences between double and single wheel stroller strollers to choose the best single jogging stroller model for your family. It doesn't matter which model you choose, it is important to choose a stroller with ergonomic handlebars that are comfortable to push and steer for long periods.
