What to Look For in a Toddler Stroller

Strollers are an excellent way to ensure your toddler on adventures. It should be equipped with a five-point harness to keep your child safe and swivel locks that won't roll off.

You might want to consider a travel system your newborn that attaches directly to your car seat. Or, a convertible model which can be expanded from a single seat to a double (and even tripled with the Vista PiggyBack Ride-Along Board). Choose a basket that offers plenty of room and is accessible.

Safety

If you want your child to be able to stroll for a long time, choose a high-quality model with safety features that meet the highest standards. Included in this are age and size compatibility, as along with a sturdy design with restraining straps, sunshades and seats with a secure shell. Look for a five-point harness that has straps that go over shoulders and between the legs as well as at the crotch to stop your child from falling out of the stroller in the event of a crash. Many strollers come with additional hip straps that can further increase your child's safety.

Strollers go through impact testing to ensure they meet safety standards. The stroller is lowered from a certain height to gauge the force of the impact. This ensures that it will not be able to tip over while it is in use. The best strollers have a lockable, secure brake system that can be activated like the vehicle.

Check the brake pedals and make sure that they are easy to operate by yourself but difficult to loosen for children. If possible, choose the magnetic harness. It uses strong magnets to hold the straps together. It is easy for parents to secure, but difficult for babies to unlock. Find a frame with a cushioned bumper bar and a safety belt opening that closes in a reclining position.

To avoid dangers of pinching, fold and unfold a stroller away from children. Always make sure that the hinges have no protrusions or sharp edges. To avoid entanglement hazards and to reduce the chance that the babiie stroller may fall over, store bags in the storage area underneath 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 can be a wonderful way for your toddler to explore the world and discover the natural world, so pick one with an expandable shade or canopy to keep them safe from the harsh sun. A tray for snacks and a cup or bottle holder can keep snacks and drinks close at hand. A bag clip or tote will help you carry shopping and other items without adding bulk to the stroller.

Comfort

As toddlers age to be more mobile, they require a stroller that is more comfortable than the one they had as infants. A spacious seat with plenty of cushioning and reclining options will ensure that they are able to comfortably use their stroller and stay relaxed during outings. A stroller with adjustable footrests and a canopy can also allow for their height to change. A solid frame, a five-point harness and braking system are the most important elements.

A double stroller is perfect for parents with twins or two close-aged babies. Pick a double stroller with a seating position that can be reversed so that they can ride facing toward the parent or facing each the other. Reversible chairs can aid your children in bonding while on a stroll. You can choose a stroller that has cups holder, or a bag clip, so you can keep drinks and snacks close at hand.

The best stroller for toddlers should be easy to maneuver and fold. A stroller that has two wheels that swivel and an effective suspension system will aid in navigating crowded streets and rough terrain. Other convenient features to look for include an adjustable handlebar and a peek-aboo window. You might also consider a parking brake that is operated by hand to make it easier and more convenient to use when your hands are full.

If you're taking a short trip to town or a lengthy vacation, the right stroller will keep your family and you comfortable while you explore. These strollers are designed with convenience and adaptability in mind. They come with the convenience of a compact design that is able to be folded up and have an ample storage basket.

To narrow down your options I spoke to five experts in the field of parenting and strollers, 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 offers baby and child safety information and Sarah Huff, senior manager of customer and community at BabyQuip, a baby gear rental site. Find out their top tips to choose the ideal stroller for toddlers.

Folding

Your toddler will likely jump into and out of the stroller on their own, so look for a model with an easy-to-use folding mechanism. Some models can be folded with just one hand while others come with straps that allow you to carry the stroller with ease. Consider a stroller that has an enormous canopy to protect your child from sunlight, or one with multiple reclining positions.

Some of the best strollers come with a compartment where you can click in an infant car seat (and some have additional attachment points for baby carriers). You can pick a light stroller with a weight of less than 30 pounds to allow it to be easier to lift on and off public transport. If you intend to use the stroller on uneven terrain, choose one with large, sturdy wheels. These wheels can roll easily across a variety conditions.

A stroller that has a cushioned strap that can carry it will allow you to effortlessly sling the stroller on your shoulder, if needed. It is not recommended to hang a purse, diaper bag or any other object from the handle of the stroller since it could cause a tipping effect and may hurt or suffocate your toddler or baby.

The stroller you select should have 5-point harnesses that are securely attached to your child's front and back. It should also have an ample, spacious storage basket that's easy to access as well as a child tray. A reclining seat is also essential for tired toddlers.

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

A stroller is a transportable vehicle that can be used to transport infants or young children. Some strollers can be used to carry an infant car seat, and some come with a flat bassinet that converts into a seat for older toddlers. Certain strollers come with locks and shackles to stop them from being taken by passersby. The use of a top-rated baby carrier is a great alternative to strollers. It will help build bonds and free your hands to complete other tasks like grocery shopping or running the errands.

Storage

As your baby grows, stroller excursions become more involved than the simple out and back strolls of childhood. When you go on these excursions, you'll need to bring more supplies, including a fully stocked diaper bag, snacks, drinks and extra clothing for your baby stroller. The key to keeping all these items within reach is to put them in the stroller.

Consider a stroller that has plenty of storage space. It can hold your diaper bag, spare clothes, and even one of our best water bottles for children. These essentials will let you enjoy your trip without having to worry about bags or baby.

If you want to store things in a space that is also easy to access, choose an infant stroller with a parent tray. These consoles usually come with cups holders as well as an ample storage compartment that can hold more than just drinks. Some of our most loved strollers come with tray for parents, and some offer it as an option.

If you are choosing a stroller that has a tray for parents on it, make sure that the cup holders are deep enough to hold your beverage securely. Shallow cup holders could spill over the edge, posing a danger to your baby. We also advise against hanging items from the handlebars as it can cause the stroller to tip over. Depending on the weight of the item, how steep the terrain and the weight in the storage basket, this could turn a stable stroller into an extremely tippy one.

Families that plan to have more than one child in the next few years should consider a tandem or side by side stroller. These strollers come with seats that are side-by-side, with an infant seat at the lower part and a toddler's seat at the top. These strollers can save money in the long run by allowing users to use a single stroller from birth until toddlerhood.
