It's crucial to pick the right stroller that suits your child and family. To choose a stroller that's suitable for you, first think about where you'll use it and how often. Will it need to take on tough terrains or fit into a compact car trunk or navigate narrow doorways? Also, think about whether you'll need to stroll with it in the city or hikes in the woods. After you've chosen the type of Stroller Single you want and features you'd like you can test drive different models.
Start with a few laps around the parking area to get familiar with the way it handles and moves. If you'll be using it to jog, check the tires for durability and check how they handle bumps and uneven sidewalks. Consider whether you require a storage basket to carry essentials or a recliner for newborns. Also, make sure the handlebars are at an appropriate height for your stride and there's enough space in the seat to accommodate a child your size.
If you're thinking on having more kids in the future, consider investing in one stroller that converts into a double, or allows you to add a stroller board (for toddlers). Parents on Babylist say that one of their biggest regrets with strollers is not having a convertible model when they had the chance.
Also, if you'll be using the stroller during rain or other inclement weather, look for accessories like sun canopies and rain covers that can be swiftly and easily connected. Don't forget to look for a five-point harness system that's easy to buckle and unbuckle, a secure seat and robust brakes. Examine the hinges for any sharp edges or areas where fingers could be caught. Verify that the stroller meets the safety standards of the state and local authorities. Last but not least, test it out with your kid to make sure that you both feel comfortable.

If you have one child one stroller may be all you require. These strollers tend to be smaller than larger strollers and have the same safety features. They also come with a large canopy that protects your child from the elements of sun and wind. They're also generally more flexible and have fewer parts that could break.
If your child is still in an infant car seat, strollers that have an infant carrier included could be a great option. These strollers are built with 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 good choice for older infants. They typically come with a big, spacious basket that can hold the child's items and fit the majority of diaper bags. They're also easy to steer and narrow enough to fit through a doorway or bathroom stall. Plus, they fold easily and can be stored in a closet or the backseat of the vehicle for easy transport.

Strollers for Two children
If you have two young children A double stroller is essential to help you transport both of them simultaneously. There are many alternatives, such as side-by-side strollers, tandems and wagons. A majority of the dual-strollers we tested could accommodate a second child's seat, or a third, if you include a piggyback board (sold separately). Tandem strollers have more configurations for different ages and stages than side-by-side models, but they are also typically larger in dimensions and heavier in weight.
Parents of twins would like a double stroller that has the same seating arrangement as their children. They'll likely need one that can 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 capability may be better off using a tandem stroller, but the type of seating will depend on the distance between them in age and the features they each prefer.
In our tests, we found that all the tandem strollers we tested were easy to maneuver and had a an ample turning radius. However, they did not turn as easily as a single stroller in small spaces, and may be difficult to navigate around curbs. Most of the strollers we tested fit through most standard doors, but they might have a narrow aisle than one stroller.
Some of the side-by-sides that we test had an additional seat for toddlers however you couldn't swap them in and out. This would be useful if your kids are at different ages. The UPPAbaby V2 Double was the exception to this rule. It allows you to easily switch between lightweight single stroller and double mode with its convertible frame.
