Kidsland offers a wide range of strollers that are dual and single handle stroller. Our top-selling items in the store are the Peg Perego Primo Viaggio 3-in-1 Convertible Car Seat/Stroller.
The choice of a Stroller Single
Strollers are a baby's best friend--they let parents easily transport their children around the city and take them to the great outdoors, or navigate crowded shopping malls. However, choosing the right stroller for your child and your family's needs is essential for a smooth ride. To select a stroller that's suitable for you, first think about where you'll use it and how often. Will it have to handle rough terrain, fit into the trunk of a car that is small or fit through doors that are narrow? Consider whether you will be taking it on city walks or hiking in the woods. After you've decided on the type of stroller you want and features you'd like to have, you can test drive various models.
Begin by running some laps in the parking lot. This will allow you to get used to the way it handles. If you plan to use it to jog, check the wheels for wear and check how they move over bumps and uneven sidewalks. Decide if you want an essentials storage basket or a recliner chair for infants. Make sure that the handlebars can be positioned to allow you to walk comfortably and that there is enough space for an infant of your size to sit in the seat.
If you're planning to have more children in the near future, think about investing in one stroller that converts into a double or allows you to add a stroller board (for toddlers). One of the biggest stroller regrets of Babylist parents is not buying convertible models.
Also, if you'll be using the stroller during rain or other weather conditions consider accessories such as rain covers and sun canopies that can be quickly and easily attached. Also, make sure to check for a harness with five points that's easy to unbuckle and buckle, a secure seat and robust brakes. Also, check the hinges to ensure there are no sharp edges or places where a finger might get stuck. Verify that the stroller meets the safety requirements of your state and local laws. Last but not least make sure to test it with your child to ensure that you are at ease.
Strollers for One Child
You may only require one stroller if you have only one child. These strollers are usually smaller than larger models and come with the same safety features as larger strollers that include a large canopy to protect your baby from sun and wind. These strollers are also more maneuverable, and have fewer components to break.
If your baby is young 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 are built with sturdy frames that can accommodate multiple seats, or even an additional infant car seat attached to the base. They're generally more user-friendly than double or convertible strollers, and can cost less up front and also, more affordable.
An all-in-one stroller can also be a great option for older infants. These strollers usually have a big, spacious basket that can hold the child's items and accommodate most diaper bags. They are also easy to maneuver and are narrow enough to fit into a bathroom stall or doorway. They can be folded up and stored in a car's back or in a closet for easy transport.
If you're seeking a stroller that will grow with your family, you should consider a convertible model. These strollers have a base frame that can hold two toddler seats or even an infant bassinet (carriers and adapters are available separately). These strollers are usually more expensive than single-seaters however they are a great investment for those who want to travel light with your children and have flexibility in seating. The UPPAbaby Vista v2 is a convertible stroller with top-quality features that can fit up to three children (age-dependent).
Strollers for Two Kids
If you have two small children it is necessary to transport them both at the same time. There are a variety of options like tandems, side-by-sides, and wagons. Many of the double strollers we tested are able to accommodate an additional child seat or even a third when you add a piggyback ride-along boards (sold separately). Tandem strollers offer more configurations for different age groups and stages than side-by-side models however, they are often larger in size and heavier in weight.
Parents of twins will want a stroller with the same seating options as their children, and they will likely require a stroller that can accommodate two infant car seats simultaneously which is something that only a handful of our top-rated double strollers can do. A tandem stroller is the best for twins who are similar in age or ability. However, the seating style also depends on how far apart the twins are in their ages and what features they prefer.
In our tests, we discovered that all of the tandem strollers that we tested were easy to maneuver and came with a an ample turning radius. However, they didn't turn as easily as a single stroller in small spaces, and may be difficult to navigate around curbs. The majority of side-byside strollers that we tested could fit through doors that are standard. However, they could have a narrower aisle than a cheap single buggy stroller.
A few strollers that we tested could be used with the second toddler seat however, they don't permit you to swap seats in and out, which would be helpful if your children are at opposite ages. The UPPAbaby V2 Double was the exception to this rule. It lets you easily switch between single and double mode using its convertible frame.
Side-by-side strollers are by far the most popular model in our double stroller category and we've compared some of the top options available on the market. Most come with plenty of storage space and permit you to keep both children in your view. Some include parent consoles that can help you keep on top of your child's desires and needs. Some are priced at the same cost as our best single travel stroller strollers, but others are more expensive.
Strollers for three children
If you have three kids (or one singleton with two older twins) then you'll need a stroller that can accommodate all of them. This is a significant purchase, so it's a good idea to research and search for a model that will suit your family's size, lifestyle and budget.
For a triple stroller which will grow with your kids consider the Graco Ready2Grow LX. It comes with a front bench seat that is designed to accommodate bassinets or infant car seats, and an rear seat that can be converted into a toddler seat when the child is 6 months old. The seat can be used to stand for children in preschool. It also has a tray for parents with cup holders as well as storage compartments.
The Joovy Big Caboose is another great triple stroller. It has two car-seat-compatible, forward-facing reclined seats that will fit children up to 32 inches tall. You can then add the rear seat accessory to convert it into a triple tandem stroller, with a third regular seat for your child's oldest. This model is especially well designed for twins or other siblings close in age, in which the older child will be in the front seat, while the younger one will be in the rear seat.
Many parents choose a quad stroller, which is essentially double stroller that has an additional seat in the back. While these models are not easy to maneuver in tight spaces, they do offer more seating options than a standard double. One option is the Foundations Trio Sport 4-Person Stroller, which is relatively affordable and has excellent reviews from parents who have used it.
Strollers are essential to transport your children around and offering them a comfortable, safe place to relax traveling. When it's time to purchase a new stroller, you should know the differences between single and double strollers to find the right model for your family. Whatever model you pick, it's always important to choose an item that is compliant with US Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) standards and has an ergonomic handlebar that makes it easy to push and steer for long periods of time.
