A stroller is a four-wheeled, often foldable, chair-like carriage in which small children are being pushed. It's a great way to take a relaxing walk or run.

Kidsland offers a wide selection 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.

Selecting a Stroller

Strollers are the best baby companions. They allow parents to easily transport their children around the city and take them to the great outdoors, or navigate the crowded malls. But choosing the best stroller for your child and family's needs is essential to ensure a comfortable ride. Think about where and how often you'll be using the stroller to select one that is appropriate for you. Will it need to take on difficult terrains, fit in a compact car trunk or navigate narrow doors? Think about whether you'll be walking in the city or out in the woods. Once you've decided on the type of stroller and features you need then it's time to test drive a few models.

Begin by running some laps around the parking lot. This will help you become accustomed to how it handles. If you plan to use it to jog, check the wheels for wear and check how they roll over bumps and uneven sidewalks. Choose if you'd like an essentials storage basket or a reclining seat for babies. Be sure that the handlebars are able to fit your stride comfortably and there's enough space for an infant of your size to sit in the seat.

Next, if you're planning on having more kids in the near future, think about buying a single fold pushchair stroller that converts into a double, or allows you to add a stroller board (for toddlers). One of the most common stroller regrets for Babylist parents is not purchasing convertible models.

If you're planning to use the stroller in rainy or other bad weather ensure that the accessories like sun umbrellas and rain covers are attached quickly and easily. Be sure to consider safety. Make sure you have a five-point harness that is easy to buckle and unbuckle, a secure seating position and robust brakes. Check the hinges for sharp edges or areas where a finger might be caught. Make sure that the stroller meets the safety standards of your state and local authorities. Then try it out with your kid to make sure that you both feel at ease.

Strollers for One Child

If you only have one kid and only one stroller, a single model could be all you require. These strollers are usually smaller than the larger models and come with the same safety features as larger strollers with a canopy to protect your baby from sun and wind. They're also generally more mobile and have fewer components that may break.

If your baby is young and is still in a car seat that is for infants A stroller that is all-in-one with a built-in infant carrier might be the best option for you. These strollers are made with sturdy frames that can accommodate several seats, or even a second car seat. They are generally simpler to use and are less expensive upfront than convertible or double strollers.

An all-in-one stroller can also be a good option for older infants. These strollers typically have an enormous, spacious basket that can accommodate your child's belongings and fit most diaper bags. They are also easily maneuverable and narrow enough to fit in a bathroom stall or doorway. They fold up easily and can be stored in a closet or backseat of the car for easy transportation.

If you're seeking a stroller that can grow with your family, consider a convertible model. They come with an aluminum frame that can accept up to two toddler seats or even a bassinet (carriers and adapters sold separately). They are generally more expensive than single-seaters, however they are a great investment for those who want to travel light with your children and can be adapted to seating. The UPPAbaby Vista v2 is our top recommendation for a premium convertible Stroller single that offers premium features and can accommodate up to three kids with ease (age-dependent).

Strollers for Two children

A double stroller can help you transport two children at a time If you have more than one. There are many options, including tandems, side-by-side strollers and wagons. A majority of the dual-strollers we tested could accommodate the second child's seat or a third if you include a piggyback board (sold separately). Tandem strollers come in more configurations to suit different levels of ages and ages. However they tend to be heavier and bulkier than side-byside models.

Parents of twins would like a double stroller that has the same seating arrangement as their children. They'll also need one that can accommodate two infant car seats at once and this is something that only a handful of our top-rated double strollers have. A tandem stroller is the best for twins who are comparable in terms of age or abilities. However the seating arrangement depends on the distance the twins are in their ages and the features they like best.

In our tests, we observed that all the tandem strollers we tested were easy to maneuver and had large turning radius. However, they did not turn as easily as a single stroller in small areas and could be difficult to maneuver around curbs. The majority of side-by-side strollers we tested fit through doors that are standard. However, they could have a shorter aisle than a single standing stroller stroller.

Some strollers that were side-by-side we tested were compatible with a second toddler seat, however, they did not allow you to swap seats in and out this would be useful when your children are of opposite age ranges. The UPPAbaby Vista V2 Double is an exception to this rule and allows you to easily switch between single gb stroller and double mode with its convertible frame.

Side-by-side strollers are the most popular style in our double stroller category and we've compared some of the top options available on the market. They're all spacious with storage space and allow you to keep both children within your view. Some even have parent consoles that can be useful in keeping track of your kids' needs and wants. They're generally more expensive than a single stroller however some are priced at prices that are comparable to or less than our best single stroller for sale strollers.
