What to Look For in a Toddler Stroller

Strollers are an excellent 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 slide off.

If you have a baby, consider an infant travel stroller system that connects to your car seat or a convertible model that could grow from single to double (and sometimes triple with the addition of a Vista PiggyBack ride-along board). Choose a basket that's spacious and easy to access.

Safety

If you want your toddler to have fun strolling around for years pick a top-quality model with safety features that are in line with the strictest standards. These include age and size compatibility, stable design, restraining belts, secure seat shells and sunshades. Look for a 5-point harness with straps at the crotch, between the legs, and above the shoulders to stop your child from falling off the stroller during a crash. A lot of strollers come with hip straps to increase your child's safety.

Strollers are tested for impact to make sure that they meet safety standards. The stroller is dropped from a height to determine the force of the impact. This guarantees that it will not tip over when in use. The most reliable strollers come with an able to lock and 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 unfasten. If you can, opt for an elastic harness. It uses strong magnets that keep the straps together. It is simple for parents to fasten but it is difficult for children to unfasten. Choose a padded frame bumper bar and a security belt opening that can be closed in the reclined position.

To avoid pinching hazards fold and unfold the stroller away from children. Always ensure that the hinges do not have protrusions or sharp edges. Keep bags in the storage area or the basket under the stroller to avoid entanglement hazard and to reduce the chance of the stroller accidentally falling over when it is in motion. Never hang purses, diaper bags, or other objects from the handles of the stroller. This could be a strangulation hazard for your baby.

Pick a stroller that has an extendable canopy that will shield your child from the brutal sun. A snack tray and cup or bottle holder will keep drinks and snacks close to hand. Lastly, a bag clip or tote bag will allow you to carry your shopping items and other things without adding to the bulk of the stroller.

Comfort

As toddlers grow older and require a stroller that is more comfortable than the one they had as babies. A seat that has plenty of padding and recline features will allow them to fit comfortably and be comfortable in their stroller. A model with adjustable footrests and a canopy will also accommodate their changing height. A sturdy frame, a 5-point harness, and braking system are the most important elements.

A double stroller will be ideal for parents with twins or children of similar ages. Select a double stroller that has a reversible seating position to allow them to ride facing toward the parent facing pushchair, or facing one opposite. Reversible seats also aid in bonding your kids with one another while out on walks. You can pick a lightweight stroller that has a cup holder or a clip for your bag so you can keep snacks and drinks within reach.

The ideal stroller for toddlers should be easy to maneuver and fold. Strollers with swivel wheels as well as suspension systems that work can make it easier for you to navigate through busy streets or uneven terrain. Also, you should look for a stroller that comes with an adjustable handlebar as well as windows that can be viewed from a distance. You might also consider a parking brake that is operated by hand for convenience and ease of use when you have a lot of hands.

No matter if you're on a short trip around town or a whirlwind vacation, the perfect stroller can keep your family members comfortable while exploring. These strollers were made with comfort and adaptability in mind. They feature the convenience of a compact design that is able to be folded away and have an ample storage basket.

To narrow your choices, I spoke with five parenting and stroller experts 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, 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 gear rental site.

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 have straps that allow you to carry the stroller with ease. Consider a stroller that has a large canopy to shield your child from direct sunlight, or one with multiple reclining positions.

Some of the best strollers come with a compartment where you can attach an infant car seat (and some have additional attachment points for baby carriers). You can choose a light stroller with a weight of less than 30 pounds to make it easier to lift onto and off public transportation. If you plan to use the stroller on uneven surfaces, select a model with large sturdy wheels that can roll easily over a variety of terrain.

If you have to, a stroller with straps that are cushioned can easily be carried over your shoulder. Do not hang a purse or diaper bag from the handle of your stroller. It could cause it to tip over and injure or suffocate your baby.

The stroller you choose must have a five-point harness that securely attaches to both the front and back of your child. It should have a large, easy-to-access storage basket and an infant's tray. A recliner is essential for tired toddlers.

What's the Difference Between a Stroller and a foldable pram?

A stroller is a portable vehicle that can be used to transport babies or young children. Some strollers can hold an infant car seat or an adjustable bassinet that can be converted into an adult seat. Some strollers have locks and shackles to stop them from being stolen by pedestrians. Wearing your child in a top-rated baby carrier is an excellent alternative to a stroller. It can improve bonding and free your hands to do other tasks, like grocery shopping or running the errands.

Storage

As your baby grows, stroller trips become more involved than the quick out and back strolls of childhood. When you go on these excursions you'll need more items, including an adequately stocked diaper bag with snacks, drinks, and even extra clothes for Baby. Storage for your stroller is essential to carrying all these items and keeping them within arm's reach.

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

If you're looking to store things in a place that is easy to access, consider one with an adult tray. These consoles typically come with cups holders as well as an ample storage compartment which can be used for more than just drinks. Some of our most loved strollers come with tray for parents, and some offer it as an option.

When you choose a stroller with a tray for parents, make sure that it comes with deep cup holders that are able to securely hold your drink. The cup holders with a shallow design could spill over the edge, posing the risk to your child. We also advise against hanging anything from the handlebars, since it could cause the stroller to tip over. Depending on the weight of the item and how steep the terrain and the amount of weight in the storage basket, this can make a stable stroller a potentially dangerously unstable one.

If you're planning to have two children in the next few years, a tandem or side-byside stroller is worth considering. These strollers have seats that are side by side, with an infant seat at the lower part and a toddler's seat at the top. These strollers could save you money in the long run by allowing you to use one stroller from birth to toddlerhood.
