Kidsland offers a wide selection of strollers that are dual and single person buggy. Our top-selling items in the store are the Peg Perego Primo Viaggio 3-in-1 Convertible Car Seat/Stroller.

Choosing a Stroller

Strollers are a child's best friend. They let parents easily transport their kiddos around the city, take them to the great outdoors, or stroll through crowded malls. It's crucial to pick the right stroller single; on the main page, for your child and your family. Think about where and how often you'll use the stroller to choose one that is appropriate for you. Will it need to traverse rough terrain, fit in the trunk of a car that is small or navigate through narrow doors? Also, think about whether you'll take it on walks around the city or hikes in the woods. Once you've decided on the type of stroller you want and the features you need then it's time to test the various models.

Start with a few laps around the parking lot to familiarize yourself with the way it handles and maneuvers. If you plan to use it for jogging, check the wheels' durability and how well they roll on bumps and uneven pavements. Choose if you'd like a storage basket for essentials or a reclining seat for babies. Also, make sure the handlebars are at a comfortable height for your stride and there's enough room in the seat to accommodate the size of a child.

If you're thinking to have more children in the future, consider purchasing a single hand fold stroller stroller that converts into a double, or allows you to add a stroller board (for toddlers). One of the most common stroller regrets for parents of Babylist is not buying convertible models.

If you'll be using the stroller during rain or other inclement weather make sure you have accessories such as sun canopies and rain covers that can be quickly and easily connected. Don't forget to think about safety. Look for a five point harness system that is easy to buckle and unbuckle, a secure seating position and robust brakes. Also, examine the hinges to make sure there are no sharp edges or places where a tiny finger could get stuck. Check that the stroller meets the safety standards of the state and local authorities. Finally, try it out with your child to ensure you're both comfortable.

Strollers for One Child

You may only need a single lightweight stroller stroller if you have a single child. These strollers are generally smaller than larger strollers and come with the same safety features. They also have a large canopy that shields your child from sun and wind. They're also generally 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 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 usually easier to use and cost less upfront than double or convertible strollers.

A stroller that's all-in one is a great choice for older children. These strollers come with a large and spacious basket that can store your child's belongings and can accommodate most baby diaper bags. They're also simple to steer and narrow enough to pass through a bathroom stall. They can also be folded and stored in a car's back or in a closet for easy transport.

If you're looking for a stroller which can adapt to your growing family, consider a convertible model. These strollers come with frames that can accommodate up to two toddler seats or even a bassinet for a baby. (Adapters and carriers are available separately). They're usually more expensive than single-seat strollers but they're a great investment for families that want to move around with ease and are flexible in terms of seating. The UPPAbaby vista V2 is a convertible stroller with top-quality features that can accommodate up to three children (age-dependent).

Strollers for Two Children

A double stroller can help you transport two children at a time If you have more than one. There are a variety of options available, including side-by-side strollers, tandems and wagons. A majority of the dual strollers we tested are able to accommodate a second child seat, or even a third when you include a ride-along board that piggybacks (sold separately). Tandem strollers offer more configurations for different age groups and stages than side-by-side models, but they are also generally larger in size and heavier in weight.

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

In our tests, all the tandem strollers we tested were easy to maneuver with a big turning radius. However, they didn't turn as well as a single stroller in small areas and could be difficult to navigate around curbs. Most of the side-by-side strollers we examined fit into most standard doors, but they might have a narrow aisle than one stroller.

Some side-by-side strollers we tested could be used with an additional toddler seat, but they didn't allow you to swap the seats out and in this would be useful for children who are at different age ranges. The UPPAbaby V2 Double is an exception to this rule. It allows you to effortlessly switch between single and double mode using its convertible frame.

We've tested the best double strollers available. They provide the convenience of keeping both kids within sight at all times, and have plenty of storage space for your gear. Some come with parent consoles that can aid in keeping the track of your child's wants and requirements. Some are priced at the same cost as our top single strollers, while others are more expensive.

Strollers for Three Kids

If you have three children (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 wise to shop around and look for a model that is suited to your family's size, lifestyle and budget.

For a triple stroller which can grow with your children, try the Graco Ready2Grow LX. It has a front seat that can accommodate bassinets for infants or car seats and a back bench seat that converts into a toddler seat for children up to six months old. The seat can be used as a stand-up for preschoolers. It also has a tray for parents that has cup holders and storage compartments.

The Joovy Big Caboose is another excellent triple stroller. It has two car-seat-compatible, forward-facing, reclining seats that fit kids up to 32 inches tall. The rear seat can be added to the stroller, making it triple tandem, and includes a regular third seat for your oldest child. This model is best designed for twins or other siblings close in age, in which the older child will sit in the front seat while the younger child will be in the rear seat.

Many parents choose a quad stroller that is basically double stroller with an additional seat in the back. Although these strollers aren't difficult to maneuver in tight spaces, they do provide more seating options than a standard double. One of the best options is the Foundations Trio Sport 4-Person Stroller, which is relatively affordable and has great reviews from parents who have used it.

Strollers are essential for transporting your children around and offering them the safety and comfort they need to relax while you're on the go. But when it comes time to buy a new stroller, it is important to know the differences between single and double strollers to choose the best model for your family. No matter which model you choose, it's always important to look for an item that is compliant with US Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) standards and has an ergonomic handlebar that is comfortable to push and steer for long periods of time.
