What to Look For in a Toddler Stroller

Strollers are a great way to ensure your toddler on adventures. It should have a five-point harness to keep your child safe and swivel wheels lockable so that they cannot be pushed away.

If you have a baby think about a pushchairs travel systems system that attaches 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). Choose a basket that's spacious and easy to access.

Safety

Pick a stroller that comes with safety features that meet the strictest standards If you want your child to have fun in the stroller for many years to come. These include age and size compatibility, a stable design and restraining belts, safe sunshades and Triple Stroller seat shells. Choose a five-point harness that has straps that are placed at the crotch, between the legs, and over the shoulders to stop your child from falling off the stroller during a crash. A lot of strollers come with extra hip straps that will enhance your child's safety.

Strollers undergo impact testing to ensure they meet safety standards. The test involves dropping the stroller from a certain height and evaluating the force of the impact to make sure it won't tip over while using it. The top strollers also have an extremely safe brake system that locks and can be engaged just like in the car.

Check the brake pedals to make sure they're easy to operate but difficult for children to take off. If possible, consider a magnetic harness that makes use of strong magnets to hold the harness straps together. It is simple to fasten for parents, but difficult for children to unlock. Choose a padded frame bumper bar and a security belt opening that can be closed in the reclining position.

To avoid the risk of pinching fold and unfold a stroller away from children. Verify that the hinges are free of sharp edges and protrusions. To avoid entanglement hazards and reduce the risk that the stroller could tip over, keep bags in the storage space beneath the stroller or in the basket. Never hang purses, diaper bags or other items from the stroller handles. This could pose an injury to your baby.

Choose a stroller with an extended canopy that will protect your child from brutal sun. A snack tray and cup or bottle holder can keep snacks and drinks close to fingertips. A bag clip or tote will allow you to carry your shopping and other items without adding bulk to your stroller.

Comfort

As toddlers age, they need a stroller that is more comfortable than what they had as infants. A wide seat with plenty of cushioning and recline options will ensure they are able to comfortably use their stroller and stay relaxed on their outings. A model that has adjustable footrests and a canopy will also allow for their height to change. Other essential aspects to consider are a sturdy frame, 5-point harness, and braking system that ensures security.

A double stroller is perfect for parents with twins or close-gayed babies. Choose a double stroller with a seating position that can be reversed so that they can ride facing towards the parent, or facing one opposite. Reversible chairs also help your children bond while on a stroll. Depending on your lifestyle, you may want a stroller that has an accessory for a cup holder or bag clip to keep snacks and beverages close at hand.

The ideal stroller for toddlers must be easy to move and fold. A stroller with swivel front wheels and a well-designed suspension system will aid in navigating the streets that are crowded and rough terrain. Other features worth looking for include a movable handlebar as well as a peek-a-boo window. You might also consider a hand-operated parking brake to make it easier and more convenient to use when you have a lot of hands.

Whether you're out on an easy stroll to town or a lengthy vacation, the right stroller will keep your family members at ease while exploring. From an ultra-compact strollers, self-folding design to a huge storage basket, these strollers offer the convenience and flexibility you need.

To narrow down your options, 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 founder of Thrive Little; Holly Choi, cofounder and co-owner of Safe Beginnings First Aid, an organization that provides baby and child safety resources and Sarah Huff, senior manager of customer and community at BabyQuip the baby gear rental site. Find out their top tips for selecting the right stroller to use with toddlers.

Folding

Your toddler will likely jump in and out of the stroller on their own, so look for a model that has an easy-to-use folding mechanism. Some models fold with just one hand while others have straps that allow you to carry the stroller with ease. You might also consider an option with a large canopy that shields your child from the sun, and one that provides multiple recline positions.

A few of the top strollers have an area that can be used to attach an infant car seat. Some have 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 carry to and from public transportation. If you plan to take the stroller on uneven terrain, choose one with large, durable wheels. These wheels can effortlessly roll across a variety of terrain.

If you're required to, a stroller that has padded straps can be easily carried over your shoulder. Do not hang a diaper or purse bag from the handle of your stroller. It can cause it to tip and cause injuries or suffocation to your baby.

The stroller you select should come with five-point harnesses that are securely connected to your child's front and back. It should have a large, easy-to-access storage basket and the tray for children. For tired toddlers, a reclining seat is a must.

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

A stroller (Canada and US) or pram with car seat (U.K.) is a hand-driven vehicle that can be used to transport babies and young children. Some strollers have the capability to carry the infant car seat and some come with a flat bassinet that converts into an adult-sized seat. While most strollers aren't easy to steal, some models come with locks and shackles to prevent them from being stolen by people who pass by. A top-rated baby carrier is an excellent alternative to a stroller. It can improve bonding and free your hands to perform other tasks, such as grocery shopping, or running around.

Stores

As your baby grows into a toddler, stroller excursions are longer instead of the quick strolls of infancy. When you go on these excursions, you'll need to bring more items, including a fully stocked diaper bag snacks, drinks, snacks and extra clothes for Baby. The key to keeping all of these items in reach is to put them in the stroller.

Consider a stroller with ample storage that can easily hold your diaper bag or spare clothes, one of our best water bottles for children and much more. The convenience of these items will allow you to enjoy your outing without having to keep an eye on baby or keep an eye on bags while you stroll.

If you're looking to keep things in a place that is even easier to access, consider a stroller that has a parent tray. These consoles typically offer both a cup holder and a large storage compartment that can hold more than just drinks. Some of our most loved strollers include a parent tray and some have it as an optional add-on.

If you are choosing a stroller that has a tray for parents, be sure it has deep cup holders that can safely hold your drink. Cup holders with shallow cups are more likely to spill over the edges, making them a risk for your baby. We also suggest not putting anything on the handlebars because this could cause the stroller to tip over. Depending on the weight of the item, how steep the terrain and the amount of weight in the bottom storage basket, this can transform a stroller that is stable into a dangerously tippy one.

Families who plan to have more than one child in the coming years should consider a tandem or side by side stroller. These strollers feature seats that are side-by-side with an infant seat at the lower part and a toddler's seat at the top. These strollers will save you money over time by allowing you to use a single stroller for your child from birth until toddlerhood.
