What to Look For in a Toddler Stroller

A stroller helps you securely take your toddler to adventures. It should come with five-point harnesses that keep your child safe and swivel wheels lockable so that they can't roll away.

Consider a travel system for your newborn that attaches directly to your car seat. Or, a convertible model which can be extended from a single to a double (and even tripled with the Vista PiggyBack Ride-Along Board). Pick a basket that has plenty of space and that is accessible.

Safety

Select a stroller with safety features that are in line with strict standards If you want your child to be able to stroll in the stroller for many years to come. These include age and size compatibility, sturdy design, restraining belts, secure seat shells and sunshades. Find a 5-point harness with straps at the crotch area, between the legs, and over the shoulders to keep your child from falling off the stroller during a crash. Many strollers have additional hip straps to increase your child's safety.

Strollers are tested for impact to ensure that they meet safety standards. The test involves dropping the stroller from a high point and measuring the force of the impact to make sure it won't tip over while in use. The best strollers also feature a secure brake system that locks and can be engaged just like in cars.

Check the brake pedals to make sure they are easy for you to operate, but difficult for children to unfasten. If possible, consider an electronic harness that utilizes strong magnets to keep the harness straps in place and is simple to fasten for parents, but hard for babies to unlock. Also, look for a cushioned bumper bar that wraps around the frame and an opening for the safety harness that closes when the seat is reclined to keep your baby stroller from being trapped.

The folding and unfolding of strollers should be done away from children to prevent dangers of pinching. Make sure the hinges are free of sharp edges and protrusions. Place bags in the storage area or in the basket underneath the stroller to prevent entanglement hazard and to reduce the possibility of the stroller tipping over while in motion. Don't hang bags, diaper bags, or other items from the stroller's handles. This could pose a strangulation risk for your baby.

Strollers can be a wonderful option for your child to enjoy the world and gain knowledge about the natural world, so pick one with an expandable shade or canopy that can shield them from harsh sunlight. A snack tray and cup or bottle holder can keep snacks and drinks to hand. Lastly, a bag clip or a tote bag can help you carry your shopping and other belongings without weighing down the size of the stroller.

Comfort

As toddlers get older to be more mobile, they require a stroller that is more comfortable than what they had when they were infants. A spacious seat with plenty of cushioning and reclining options will ensure that they are able to comfortably use their stroller and remain relaxed on their outings. Also, a model that has an adjustable footrest and canopy is the best to adjust to their height changes. A solid frame, a five-point harness, and braking system are the most important elements.

A double stroller will be ideal for parents with twins or children of similar age. Choose a double stroller with a seating position that can be reversed so that they can ride facing forward, facing the parent, or facing each other. A reversible seat can also help your kids bond with each other while out on walks. You can pick a stroller with a cup holder or a clip for your bag so you can keep drinks and snacks within reach.

The most suitable strollers for toddlers is easy to fold and maneuver. Strollers that have swivel wheels and suspension systems that work will make it easier for you to maneuver through crowded streets or rough terrain. Other features worth looking for include an adjustable handlebar as well as a peek-a-boo window. For convenience and ease of operation, you may want a parking brake that is operated by hand.

The right stroller can ensure that you and your family are at ease on any journey whether it's a simple stroll through the city or a trip on vacation. From an ultra-compact self-folding design to an expansive basket for storage these strollers offer the convenience and flexibility you require.

Folding

Your child will likely leap into and out of the stroller on their own, so opt for a model that has an easy-to-use folding mechanism. Some models fold down with one hand, while some have a strap that can be used to carry the stroller when you need to. You may also think about a stroller with a large canopy that protects your child from the sun, and one that offers various reclining positions.

Some of the best strollers come with a compartment that allows you to attach an infant car seat (and some also have other attachment points for baby carriers). You might want to go for a stroller that weighs less than 30 pounds, so that it's easy to lift off and on public transportation. If you plan to use the stroller on uneven surfaces, select a model with large, durable wheels that effortlessly glide over a variety of terrain.

A stroller with a padded strap for carrying can allow you to easily sling the stroller over your shoulder if necessary. Do not hang your purse, diaper bag or any other object from the handle of a stroller because it could cause a tipping effect and may suffocate or injure your toddler or baby.

The stroller you choose should come with five-point harness that securely attaches to the rear and front of your child. It should also have a large, spacious storage basket that's easy to access as well as a child tray. A reclining seat is essential for tired toddlers.

What's the difference between stroller and a pram?

A stroller (Canada and US) or pram (U.K.) is a portable hand-pushed vehicle to transport babies and young children. Some strollers can be used to accommodate an infant car seat, and some even have a flat bassinet that converts into an adult-sized seat. Some strollers are equipped with locks and shackles to stop them from being taken by passersby. A top-quality carrier is a great alternative to using a stroller and improve bonding while freeing your hands for other tasks like grocery shopping or running errands.

Storage

As your baby grows, stroller trips become more involved than the simple out and back strolls of childhood. You'll require more items for these excursions. This includes the diaper bag, which is fully stocked, snacks drinks, snacks, and other clothing for Baby. Storage for your stroller is essential to bringing all of these items and keeping them within reach.

Consider a stroller compact with ample storage space that can accommodate your diaper bag, spare clothes, one of our top water bottles for children and much more. These essentials will allow you to relax and enjoy your excursion without worrying about your baby or bags.

Most full-size strollers offer plenty of storage space, however if you want an even easier-to-access storage space for your belongings choose one with a parent tray. These consoles typically have an integrated cup holder aswell as a large storage area that can be used for more than just beverages. Some of our favorite strollers include a parent tray and some offer it as an add-on.

When choosing a stroller with a tray for parents, pushchairs car seats make sure it includes deep cup holders that can securely hold your drink. Cup holders that are too small are more likely to spill over the edges, which can make them a risk for your baby. We also advise not putting any item on the handlebars since this could cause the stroller to tip over. This can make a sturdy stroller unstable, based on the weight, the incline of the terrain, and also the amount of weight in the basket that is on the bottom.

If you're planning to have two kids in a few years, a tandem or side-byside stroller is a good option. These types of strollers have seats that are placed side by side with a toddler's seat on the top and an infant's seat at the bottom. These strollers could save you money over the long term by allowing users to use a single stroller from birth through toddlerhood.
