Kidsland has a large selection of double and single infant stroller strollers. The Peg Perego PrimoViaggio 3-in-1 car seat/stroller is among our top sellers.

Selecting a Stroller

Strollers are a baby's best single stroller friend--they let parents easily transport their kids around the city and take them to the great outdoors, or stroll through crowded malls. However, selecting the best stroller for your child and family's needs is essential to a smooth ride. Consider where and how often you'll be using the stroller to choose one that is right for you. Do you need it to travel on tough terrains, fit in a compact car trunk or maneuver through narrow doorways? Also, think about whether you'll want to take it on walks through the city or on hikes in the woods. Once you've determined the type of stroller you want and the features you require then it's time to test the various models.

Begin by doing a few laps in the parking lot. This will help you get accustomed to the way it moves. If you're planning to use it for jogging, test the wheels for durability and test out how well they handle bumps and uneven sidewalks. Consider if you'd like a basket to store your essentials or a reclining chair for babies. Also, make sure the handlebars are at an appropriate height for your stride and that there's enough room in the seat to accommodate the size of a child.

If you plan to have more children in the future You might want to consider a single stroller that can be converted into a double stroller, or a stroller board for toddlers. Babylist parents tell us that one of their biggest regrets with strollers is not having the convertible model when they had the opportunity.

Finally, if you'll be using the Stroller single during rain or other inclement weather make sure you have accessories such as sun canopy and rain covers that can be quickly and easily attached. Be sure to consider safety. Look for a five-point harness that is easy to buckle and unbuckle, a secure seating position and robust brakes. Also, check the hinges to ensure there are no sharp edges or spots where a small finger could get stuck. Verify that the stroller meets local and state safety regulations. Then, test it out with your child to make sure you both feel at ease.

Strollers for One Child

It is possible that you only need one stroller if you have a buggy single child. They are typically smaller than the larger models and have the same safety features as larger strollers with a canopy that protects your baby from the sun and wind. They're also often more flexible and have fewer parts that could break.

If your child is still in an infant seat, strollers with an infant carrier included is a good option. These strollers are made with sturdy frames that can accommodate several seats and even a second car seat. They are generally easier to use and cost less 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 which can be used to store your child's belongings and fit the majority of diaper bags. They're also simple to steer and narrow enough to fit through a bathroom stall. They can be folded up and stored in a car's back seat or closet for easy transportation.

Consider a convertible stroller if you need a stroller that can grow with your family. They come with an aluminum frame that can hold up to two toddler chairs or even an infant bassinet (carriers and adapters are sold separately). They're typically more expensive than single-seat strollers however, they're an excellent investment for families who wish to move around with ease and are flexible in seating. The UPPAbaby Vista v2 is a convertible stroller with top features that can fit up to three children (age-dependent).

Strollers for Two Children

A double stroller can allow you to transport two children at once If you have more than one. There are a variety of options like tandems, side-by sides, and wagons. Many of the double strollers we tested are able to accommodate two child seats, or even a third if you include a ride-along board that piggybacks (sold separately). Tandem strollers are available in different models to meet the needs of different levels of ages and ages. However they tend to be larger and heavier than side-byside models.

Parents of twins want a double stroller with the same seating arrangement as their children. They will also likely require one that can fit two infant car seats at once which is something only a few of our top-rated double strollers offer. A tandem stroller is ideal for twins who are comparable in terms of age or abilities. However, the seating style also depends on how far apart each twin is and what features they prefer.

In our tests, all the tandem strollers we tested were easy to maneuver with a large turning radius. They didn't turn as well in tight spaces as a single-stroller and could be difficult to maneuver around curbs. The majority of the strollers we reviewed fit in the majority of doors, however they may have a more narrow aisle than a single stroller.

Some of the side-by-sides that we test had the option of a second seat for toddlers however you couldn't swap them in and out. This would be useful if your kids are at different age ranges. The UPPAbaby V2 Double is the exception to this rule. It allows you to easily switch between double and single travel stroller mode using its convertible frame.

We've tested the best double strollers on the market. They provide the convenience of keeping both children in sight at all times, and most come with plenty of storage space for your equipment. Some even include parent consoles, which can be useful in keeping track of your child's requirements and desires. Some are priced at the same price as our best single strollers, but others are more expensive.

Strollers for Three Kids

If you have three kids (or a singleton and two older twins) then you'll need a stroller that can accommodate all of them. It's a major purchase, so shop around to find a model that is suitable for your family size and lifestyle as well as your budget.

Quad strollers are a favorite among parents. They are essentially double strollers with an additional seat in the back.
