What to Look For in a Toddler Stroller

A stroller allows you to securely take your toddler to adventures. It should be equipped with a five-point harness to keep your child secure and lock swivels that won't slide off.

Consider a prams travel system system for your baby that is attached directly to your car seat. Or, an adjustable model that can be extended from a single to a double (and even triple with a Vista PiggyBack Ride-Along Board). Choose a basket that offers plenty of room and is easily accessible.

Safety

If you want your toddler to be able to stroll for a long time, choose a high-quality model that has safety features that are in line with the strictest standards. These include age and size compatibility, stable design and restraining belts, safe sunshades and seat shells. Look for a five-point harness that has straps on 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 to increase your child's security.

Strollers are tested for impact to ensure they meet safety standards. The stroller is lowered from a height to measure the force of the impact. This ensures that it will not be able to tip over while in use. The top strollers have a lockable, secure brake system that can be engaged like in the case of a vehicle.

Check the brake pedals to ensure they're easy to operate, but are difficult for children to remove. If you can, consider the magnetic harness. It has strong magnets that hold the straps together. It is easy for parents to fasten, but it is difficult for children to unfasten. Choose a padded frame bumper bar as well as a safety belt opening that can be closed in the reclining position.

To avoid dangers of pinching, fold and unfold a stroller away from children. Always ensure that the hinges do not have protrusions or sharp edges. To prevent entanglement and to reduce the chance 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 a strangulation hazard for your baby.

Strollers are an excellent way for your toddler to explore the world and gain knowledge about nature, so select a model with an extendable shade or canopy to shield them from harsh sunlight. A snack tray and cup or bottle holder can keep snacks and drinks at hand. Finally, a bag clip or a tote bag can help you carry your shopping and other belongings without weighing down the size of the stroller.

Comfort

As toddlers age to be more mobile, they require a stroller that is more comfortable than what they had as infants. A spacious seat with plenty of padding and reclining options will ensure that they are able to comfortably use their stroller and are comfortable on their outings. Additionally, a model with an adjustable footrest and canopy is a great choice to accommodate their changing height. Other important factors to consider include solid frames, a five-point harness, and braking system that ensures safety.

A double stroller is ideal for parents with twins or close-gayed babies. Choose a double stroller with an adjustable seating position so that they can ride facing towards the parent, or facing one the other. A reversible seat can also help your kids bond with one another for walks. You can pick one with cup holders or a bag clip, so you can keep drinks and snacks close at hand.

The ideal stroller for toddlers must be simple to maneuver and fold. Strollers with swivel wheels as well as a suspension system that works will allow you to navigate through busy streets or uneven terrain. Other useful features to look for are an adjustable handlebar and a peek-a-boo window. You might also prefer a parking brake that is operated by hand to make it easier and more convenient to use when you have a lot of hands.

The best stroller will ensure that you and your family are at ease on any journey whether it's a simple excursion in the city or a vacation. From an ultra-compact self-folding design, to a large basket for storage, these strollers offer the convenience and flexibility you require.

To narrow down your options, I spoke with five parenting and stroller experts such as 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, cofounder and co-owner of Safe Beginnings First Aid, an organization that offers baby and child safety information and Sarah Huff, senior manager of community and customer service at BabyQuip, a baby equipment rental site. Find out their top tips to choose the best stroller for toddlers.

Folding

Your child is likely to jump in and out of the stroller on their own, so search for a model that has an easy-to-use folding mechanism. Some models fold down with one hand, while others come with straps that you can use to carry the stroller when required. You should consider a stroller that comes with a large canopy to shield your child from direct sun, or lightweight strollers one that has several reclining positions.

Some of the best strollers come with a compartment you can use to attach an infant car seat. Other strollers include attachment points for baby carriers. You might want to go for a lightweight stroller that weighs less than 30 pounds, so it's easy to get to and from public transportation. If you plan to use the stroller on uneven surfaces, pick a model with big durable wheels that roll easily over a variety of terrain.

A stroller with a cushioned strap that can carry it will allow you to easily sling the stroller over your shoulder, if needed. Do not hang a purse or diaper bag from the handle of your stroller. It can cause it to tip over and cause injury or death to your baby.

The stroller you select should have a five-point harness that securely attaches to the rear and front of your child. It should also include a large, spacious storage basket that's accessible and an infant tray. For tired toddlers, a reclining seat is a must.

What is the difference between a Stroller and a Pram?

A stroller (Canada & US) or pram bag (U.K.) is an automobile that can be used by hand for transporting babies and small children. Some strollers can be used to carry an infant car seat and some even have a flat bassinet that converts into an adult-sized seat. While most strollers aren't easy to take, a few models have locks and shackles that prevent them from being snatched by passersby. The use of a top-rated baby carrier is a great alternative to a stroller. It can improve bonding and allow you to complete other tasks like grocery shopping or running the errands.

Stores

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

Look into a stroller with plenty of storage space. It can accommodate your diaper bag, extra clothes, and even one of our best water bottles for children. Having these necessities handy will give you the freedom to enjoy your outing without having to keep a hand on your baby or keep an eye on bags while you walk.

If you want to store things in a space that is easy to access, consider a stroller that has a tray for parents. These consoles typically have a cup holder as well as a large storage area that can be used for more than just beverages. Some of our favorite strollers come with tray for parents, and some offer it as an option.

If you are choosing a stroller that includes a tray for parents on it, make sure the cup holders are sufficient in depth to secure your drink. Cup holders that are too small could spill over the edge, which could pose a danger to your baby. We also advise not putting anything on the handlebars as this can cause the stroller tip over. Depending on the weight of the item, how steep the terrain is and the weight in the bottom storage basket, this can turn a stable stroller into an extremely tippy one.

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