A baby stroller, whether it's for you or your child, is an essential piece of gear. Your stroller will make it easy to carry your kids around.
The best stroller for your family will be the right choice based on several factors, including where you live, how many children you have, and how you like to travel with them. A budget is important as well as how much money you have for accessories such a car seat and bassinet.
The needs of your family and the way you plan to use the stroller will determine whether you need a single, two- or three-wheeled stroller. For example, if you plan to space your babies a few years apart, a single stroller may be all you need. However, if you plan to have multiples or want to carry all your kids in one convenient unit, you'll need a multifunctional double stroller.
Convertible strollers can be purchased that convert from a single to two-wheeled as your child grows. These can be quite expensive, but will allow you adapt your stroller to the needs of your growing family.
All in one stroller
A compact, high-quality stroller that can be used with multiple infant car seats is a great choice. The Graco Duo Stroller for toddlers and infants can be used in the same frame.
It's easy-to-push and can handle many terrains. It folds easily and can be stored in a closet or trunk.
A jogger stroller is another option that's perfect for families who want to be active with their kids while commuting, shopping, or going to the park. A jogger is equipped with large tires, a front suspension and adjustable handlebars to accommodate walkers of all sizes.
Stroller wagons
A stroller/wagon hybrid is an innovative option that's taking the baby-gear world by storm. The stroller-wagon, which is a combination of a wagon and a stroller, can be used to travel with children. The wheels are large enough to work on all terrains, including gravel and sandy.
This stroller also works with an infant seat. It has a five point harness for babies, and a three point harness for toddlers.
Reversible seats allow you to have a clear view of the road or scenery from the back while your child lies in front. The seat has a removable tray that can be used as a child's bed, and the handlebars adjust to different heights.
UPPAbaby G-Luxe
This UPPAbaby UPPAbaby model will work for you if your budget is tight and you don't need a lot. It has 16-inch wheels that roll smoothly, and it's compatible with most Graco infant car seats. The only drawback to this stroller are the buttons-and-ring fold mechanism.
