What to Look For in a Toddler Stroller

A stroller helps you securely take your toddler to adventures. It should be equipped with a five-point harness to keep the child safe and swivel locks that don't fall off.

If you have a newborn look into a travel system that can be attached to your car seat, or convertible models that can grow from single to double (and sometimes triple when you add a Vista PiggyBack ride-along board). Pick a basket that has plenty of room and is easy to reach.

Safety

If you want your child to have fun strolling around for years, choose a high-quality model that has safety features that meet the highest standards. These include age and size compatibility, a stable design as well as restraining belts that are secure sunshades and seat shells. Find a 5-point harness with straps at the crotch area, between the legs, and above the shoulders to prevent your child from falling off the stroller during a crash. Many strollers have additional hip straps that can increase your child's security.

Strollers go through impact testing to ensure that they comply with safety standards. The stroller is dropped from a height to determine the force of the impact. This ensures that it will not slide over when it is it is in use. The most reliable strollers come with a lockable, secure brake system that can also be engaged like in a vehicle.

Check the brake pedals to make sure they're easy to operate, but difficult for children to remove. If possible, opt for a magnetic harness that uses strong magnets to keep the harness straps together. It is easy to fasten for parents but difficult for infants to open. Find a frame with a cushioned bumper bar as well as a safety belt opening that can be closed in the reclined position.

The folding and unfolding of strollers should be done away from children to avoid pinching hazards. Check that the hinges are free of sharp edges and protrusions. To avoid entanglement hazards and reduce the risk that the stroller may tip over accidentally, store bags in the storage space beneath the stroller or in the basket. Do not hang diaper bags from the handles of your stroller. This could be a risk of strangulation for your infant.

Strollers are an excellent way for your little one to soak in the world and learn about nature, so choose a model with an extendable shade or canopy to keep them safe from the harsh sun. A snack tray and cup or bottle holder can keep snacks and drinks close at fingertips. Finally, a bag clip or a tote bag will allow you to carry your shopping bags and other items without adding weight to the overall size of the stroller.

Comfort

As toddlers grow to be more mobile, they require a stroller that is more comfortable than what they used as infants. A wide seat with ample cushioning and recline options will ensure they fit comfortably in their stroller and stay relaxed when they go out. A model with adjustable footrests and a canopy can also accommodate their changing height. Other essential aspects to consider are a sturdy frame, 5-point harness and braking system that guarantees security.

A double stroller will be ideal for parents with twins or children with similar age. Choose a stroller with a reversible seat so that you can allow them to ride side-by-side or parent-facing each other. Reversible seats can aid your children in bonding with one another on strolls. Based on your lifestyle, you may want a stroller that has a cup holder or bag clip to keep drinks and snacks in reach.

The best stroller for toddlers should be simple to maneuver and fold. Strollers with swivel wheels and a suspension system that works can make it easier for you to navigate through crowded streets or uneven terrain. You should also consider a stroller that has an adjustable handlebar and windows that can be viewed from a distance. You might also prefer the hand-operated parking brake for convenience and ease of use when you have a lot of hands.

Whether you're out on a short trip around town or on a long holiday, the right stroller will keep your family and you comfortable while exploring. These strollers were designed with ease of use and adaptability in mind. They offer an incredibly compact design that can be folded down and have an ample storage basket.

To narrow your choices, I spoke with five experts on strollers and parenting, including Lisa Trofe, executive director of the Juvenile Products Manufacturers Association; Kyleyn Gosewisch, customer care specialist at Strolleria; Marielle Marquez, pediatric occupational therapist and co-founder of Thrive Little; Holly Choi co-founder and co-owner at Safe Beginnings First Aid, an organization that provides safety and baby-related resources as well as Sarah Huff, senior manager of community and customer service at BabyQuip, a baby gear rental site. Find out their top tips for choosing the ideal stroller for toddlers.

Folding

Choose a stroller with an easy-to-use folding mechanism. Your toddler may be able to get into and out of it on their own. Some models fold down with a single hand, while others come with straps that can be used to carry the stroller if required. You could also consider a stroller with a large canopy that protects your child from the sun, and one that offers various recline positions.

Some of the best strollers come with a compartment that can be used to attach an infant car seat. Other strollers include attachment points for baby carriers. You may choose a lightweight stroller weighing less than 30 pounds to allow it to be easier to lift on and off public transport. If you plan to take the stroller over uneven surfaces, select a model with large, sturdy wheels. These wheels can effortlessly roll across a variety of types of terrain.

If you're required to, a stroller with padded straps can be easily slung over your shoulder. Don't hang a diaper or purse bag from the handle of your stroller. It could cause it to tip over and cause injuries or suffocation to your baby.

The stroller you pick should come with 5-point harnesses that are securely attached to your child's front and back. It should come with an ample, easily accessible storage basket as well as the tray for children. For tired toddlers, a reclining seat is essential.

What's the Difference Between a Stroller and a Pram?

A stroller is a hand-driven mobile vehicle that can be used to transport infants or children who are young. Some strollers can carry an infant car-seat, while others have a bassinet that can be transformed into a seat. While the majority of strollers are difficult to steal, some models have locks and shackles to stop them from being taken by people who pass by. The use of a top-rated baby carrier is a great alternative to a stroller. It can help strengthen bonding and allow you to complete other tasks such as grocery shopping, or running around.

Stores

As your baby stroller grows, stroller rides become more involved than the simple out and back strolls of childhood. For these outings you'll need more items, including an adequately-stocked diaper bag snacks, drinks, snacks and extra clothes for Baby. Storage for your stroller is essential to bringing all these items and keeping them in reach.

Consider a stroller that has plenty of storage space. It can store your diaper bag, spare clothing, and one of our best water bottles for children. Having these necessities handy will give you the freedom to enjoy your trip without having to keep a hand on your baby or keep an eye on bags while you stroll.

If you're looking to keep things in a place that is also easy to access, pick a stroller that has a parent tray. These consoles usually have cups holder as well as a large storage area that can hold more than just drinks. Some of our most loved strollers include a parent tray while others offer it as an option.

If you are choosing a stroller that has a parent tray, make sure that it comes with deep cup holders that can securely hold your beverage. Cup holders with shallow cups tend to spill over the edges, making them a hazard for your baby. We also recommend against hanging anything on the handlebars because this could cause the stroller to tip over. This could make a stable stroller unstable based on the weight, the incline of the terrain, and the amount of weight that is in the storage basket at the bottom.

Families planning to have more than one child in the coming years should think about a tandem or side by side stroller. These types of strollers have seats that sit in a row, side-by-side with a toddler seat on the top and an infant's seat at the bottom. These strollers will save you money over time because you to use one stroller for your child from birth to toddlerhood.
