What to Look For in a Toddler Stroller

Strollers are a great way to safely take your wiggly toddler on adventures. It should come with a 5-point harness to keep the child secure and lock swivels that won't roll off.

If you have a newborn look into an infant travel system that connects to your car seat, or a convertible model that can be upgraded from single to double (and sometimes triple when you add the Vista PiggyBack ride-along board). Choose a basket that's large and easy to access.

Safety

If you want your child to enjoy strolling for years make sure you choose a top-quality model that has safety features that are in line with the strictest standards. These include age and size compatibility, sturdy design, restraining belts, secure seat shells and sunshades. Find a five-point harness that uses straps over the shoulders between the legs, and at the crotch to prevent your child from falling out of 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 they meet safety standards. The test involves dropping the stroller from a height and measuring the force of the impact to ensure that it won't tip over using it. The top strollers also come with an incredibly safe, lockable brake system that can be engaged similar to cars.

Examine the brake pedals and make sure that they are easy to operate for you but difficult to remove for children. If possible, opt for an electronic harness that utilizes strong magnets to keep the harness straps in place and is easy to fasten for parents but difficult for infants to open. Find a frame with a cushioned bumper bar and a security belt opening that can be closed in a reclining position.

Folding and unfolding a stroller must be done away from children to prevent the risk of pinching. Check that the hinges are free of sharp edges and protrusions. Place bags in the storage area or the basket beneath the stroller to prevent entanglement hazard and to reduce the risk of the stroller accidentally tipping over while in motion. Never hang purses or diaper bags from the handles of your stroller, which could pose a strangulation risk for your infant.

Pick a stroller that has an extension canopy that can protect your child from the brutal sun. Keep snacks and drinks in a convenient place with a bottle or cup holder as well as a tray for snacks. A bag clip or tote will allow you to carry shopping and other items without adding bulk to the stroller.

Comfort

As toddlers get older to be more mobile, they require a stroller that is more comfortable than the one they had when they were infants. A wide seat with ample cushioning and recline options will ensure they can comfortably fit into their stroller and remain relaxed when they go out. Additionally, a model with an adjustable footrest and canopy is ideal to allow for their growing height. A solid frame, a five-point harness, and braking systems are all essential elements.

A double stroller is ideal for parents with twins or close-aged babies. Choose a double stroller with a reversible seating position so that they can ride facing forward, facing the parent, or facing each opposite. Reversible seats can aid your children in bonding with one another on walks. You may choose one with cup holders or a clip for your bag so you can keep snacks and drinks within reach.

The ideal stroller for toddlers should be simple to maneuver and fold. A stroller with two wheels that swivel and a well-designed suspension system will aid in navigating the streets that are crowded and rough terrain. You should also look for a stroller that comes with 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.

Whether you're out on a short trip around town or on a long holiday, the right stroller can keep your family members at ease while exploring. These strollers were made with comfort and flexibility 3 in one pushchair mind. They come with an incredibly compact travel stroller design that can be folded up and have a large storage basket.

Learn their top tips on choosing the best stroller to use with toddlers.

Folding

Your child will likely leap in and out of the stroller on their own, so search for a model that has an easy-to-use folding mechanism. Some models can be folded with just one hand while others include a strap so you can carry the stroller. You should consider a stroller that comes with a large canopy to shield your child from sun, or one that has various reclining positions.

Some of the top strollers come with a compartment that lets you click in an infant car seat (and some have additional 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 on and off public transportation. If you plan to use the stroller on uneven surfaces, choose a model with large, durable wheels that are able to easily navigate various terrains.

If you're required to, a stroller equipped with straps that are cushioned can easily be slung over your shoulder. It is not recommended to hang your purse, diaper bag or any other item from the handle of a stroller because it can cause tipping and possibly suffocate or injure your baby or toddler.

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

What is the difference between a stroller and a pram bag?

A stroller (Canada & US) or pram (U.K.) is an automobile that can be used by hand for transporting babies and small children. Some strollers are able to accommodate an infant pushchair car seat seat and some even have an open bassinet that transforms into a seat for older toddlers. Some strollers are equipped with locks and shackles to stop them from being stolen by pedestrians. A top-rated baby carrier is an excellent alternative to a stroller. It will help build bonds and free your hands to complete other tasks such as grocery shopping or running errands.

Stores

As your baby becomes a toddler, stroller trips are longer instead of the quick strolls of the early years. For these outings you'll need more supplies, including an adequately stocked diaper bag snacks, drinks, snacks and even extra clothes for Baby. Storage for your stroller is essential to bringing all of these items and keeping them in reach.

Take a look at a stroller that offers ample storage space. It can store your diaper bag, additional clothes, and one of our top water bottles for kids. The convenience of these items gives you the freedom to go out without having to keep an eye on your baby or keep an eye on bags as you stroll.

If you're looking to keep things in a space that is easy to access, pick a stroller that has an adult tray. These consoles usually come with a cup holder and an ample storage compartment that can accommodate more than just drinks. Some of our top strollers include tray for parents, while others offer it as an additional feature.

When you choose a stroller with a tray for parents, make sure it includes deep cup holders that can securely hold your drink. Shallow cup holders could spill over the edge, which could pose a danger to your baby. We also suggest against hanging any item on the handlebars since this could cause the stroller to tip over. Based on the weight of the item, how steep the terrain and the amount of weight in the storage basket, this can transform a stroller that is stable into a dangerously tippy one.

If you are a family planning to have two children in the next couple of years, a tandem or side-byside stroller is something to consider. These types of strollers have seats that are placed together with a toddler's seat on the top and an infant's seat at the bottom. These strollers can save you money over time by allowing you to use one stroller for your child from birth until toddlerhood.
