What to Look For in a Toddler Stroller

Strollers are a great option to ensure your toddler on adventures. It should be equipped with a five-point harness to keep your child secure and lock swivels that don't fall off.

If you have a newborn think about a travel system that attaches to your car seat or a convertible model that can 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 child to have fun strolling around for years pick a top-quality model that has safety features that are in line with the strictest standards. These include age and size compatibility, sturdy design and restraining belts, safe sunshades and seat shells. Find a 5-point harness with straps that are placed at the crotch, between the legs, and above the shoulders to stop your child from falling off the stroller during a crash. Many strollers come with additional hip straps to further enhance your child's safety.

Strollers are tested for impact to ensure they are safe standards. The test involves dropping the stroller from a high point and evaluating the force of the impact to make sure it won't tip over while in use. The top strollers also have a safe brake system that is lockable and can be activated just like in the car.

Check the brake pedals, and make sure that they are easy to operate by yourself but difficult to loosen 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 children to unlock. Also look for a padded bumper bar that wraps around the frame, and an opening for a safety harness that closes when the seat is reclined to stop your child from being trapped.

Folding and unfolding a stroller should be kept away from children to avoid pinching hazards. Always make sure that the hinges do not have protrusions and have no sharp edges. Keep bags in the storage area or in the basket beneath the stroller to avoid the risk of entanglement and to decrease the risk of the stroller tipping over while in motion. Never hang purses or diaper bags from the handles of your stroller, as this could be a risk of strangulation for your infant.

Strollers are an excellent way for your toddler to explore the world and discover the natural world, so pick a model with an extendable canopy or sunshade that will protect them from harsh sunlight. Keep snacks and drinks handy with a cup or bottle holder, as well as a snack tray. A bag clip or a tote will allow you to carry your shopping and other items without adding bulk to the stroller.

Comfort

As toddlers age, they need 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 are comfortable on their outings. A stroller with an adjustable footrest and canopy is the best to allow for their growing height. A sturdy frame, a 5-point harness, and braking system are the most important elements.

A double stroller is ideal for parents with twins or two close-gayed babies. Pick a double pram stroller with a reversible seating position to allow them to ride facing toward the parent or facing each other. Reversible chairs also aid your children in bonding when they go for a walk. Based on your needs you may need a stroller with an accessory for a cup holder or bag clip to keep snacks and drinks within reach.

The ideal stroller for toddlers must be simple to maneuver and fold. A stroller that has the ability to swivel its front wheels and an effective suspension system will help you navigate crowded streets and rough terrain. Other features worth looking for include a movable handlebar and a peek-aboo window. You might also prefer a parking brake that is operated by hand to make it easier and more convenient to use when your hands are full.

The right stroller will keep you and your family comfortable on any trip, whether it's a quick trip in the city or a trip on vacation. From a compact self-folding design to an expansive storage basket, these strollers offer the convenience and flexibility you require.

I spoke with five experts in the area of strollers and parenting. These included Lisa Trofe (executive director of the Juvenile Product 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 offers safety tips for children and babies, and Sarah Huff (senior manager of community and customer relations). Find out their top tips for selecting the ideal stroller for toddlers.

Folding

Look for a stroller with an easy-to use folding mechanism. Your toddler may be able to get into and out of it on their own. Some models can be folded with just one hand, while others come with an adjustable strap that lets you carry the stroller. You could also consider a stroller with a big canopy that protects your child from the sun, and has various recline positions.

Some of the best strollers come with a compartment that can be used to attach an infant car seat. Others include attachment points for baby carriers. You can choose a light stroller that weighs less than 30 pounds to allow it to be easier to lift onto and off public transport. If you plan to use the stroller on uneven surfaces, pick a model with big sturdy wheels that can roll easily over different terrains.

If you need to, a stroller with straps that are cushioned can be easily slung over your shoulder. Never hang a purse or diaper bag from the handle of your stroller. It could cause it to tip and cause injury or death to your baby.

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

What's the difference between stroller and a pram?

A stroller is a hand-driven portable vehicle that can be used to transport babies or children who are young. Some strollers can hold the infant car seat or an infant bassinet that can be converted into an adult seat. While most strollers are hard to steal, a few models feature locks and shackles that prevent them from being stolen by people who pass by. In a top-rated carrier can be an excellent alternative to strollers and increase the bonding between you and your child, while freeing up your hands for other tasks like grocery shopping or running errands.

Storage

As your baby becomes an infant, stroller rides are longer than the quick out-and-back strolls of the early years. You'll need more supplies for these excursions. This includes the diaper bag, which is well-stocked, snacks drinks, snacks, and additional clothing for Baby. Storage for your stroller is essential to bringing all of these items and keeping them within reach.

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

If you're looking to keep things in a space that is also easy to access, consider a stroller that has a parent tray. These consoles typically come with cups holder as well as a large storage compartment which can be used for more than just drinks. Some of our most loved strollers include an adult tray, while others offer it as an additional feature.

If you are choosing a stroller that has a tray for parents, be sure that it includes deep cup holders that can securely hold your beverage. Shallow cup holders could spill over the edge, which could pose the risk to your child. We also suggest not hanging items from the handlebars since it could cause the stroller to tip over. This could make a stable stroller dangerously unstable depending on the weight, the slope of the terrain, and also the amount of weight that is in the storage basket at the bottom.

If you're planning to have two children in the next few years, a tandem or side-byside stroller is something to consider. These types of strollers offer seats that are placed together with a toddler's seat on the top and an infant seat at the bottom. These strollers can save you money in the end by permitting users to use a single stroller from birth until toddlerhood.
