What to Look For in a Toddler StrollerStrollers are a great option to safely take your wiggly toddler on adventures. It should come with five-point harnesses that keep your child secure and swivel wheels lockable so that they can't roll away.Consider a travel system for your infant that can be attached directly to your car seat. Or, you can get a convertible model that can be expanded from a single to a double (and even tripled with the Vista PiggyBack Ride-Along Board). Look for prams pushchairs that's large and easy to reach.SafetyIf you want your toddler to be able to stroll for a long time pick a top-quality model with safety features that meet stringent standards. Included in this are size and age compatibility, as along with a sturdy design and restraining straps. Also, you can sunshades and shells for seats that are secure. Choose a five-point harness that uses straps on the shoulders between the legs, and at the crotch to stop your child from falling out of the stroller during a crash. Many strollers have additional hip straps that can further increase your child's safety.Strollers are tested for impact to ensure that they meet safety standards. The test involves dropping the stroller from a high point and measuring the force of the impact to make sure that it won't tip over being used. The top strollers also have a safe brake system that is lockable and can be used as in a car.Check the brake pedals to make sure they're easy to operate, but are difficult for children to remove. If you can, consider an elastic harness. It is made of strong magnets that keep the straps together. It is easy for parents to fasten, but difficult for babies to unlock. Choose a padded frame bumper bar and a security belt opening that locks in the reclined position.The folding and unfolding of a stroller should be kept away from children to prevent the risk of pinching. Always make sure that the hinges have no protrusions and have no sharp edges. To avoid entanglement risks and decrease the chance that the stroller could tip over, keep bags in the storage area underneath the stroller or in the basket. Do not hang diaper bags from the handles of your stroller, which can pose a strangulation hazard for your baby.Strollers are an excellent way for your toddler to soak in the world and learn about nature, so choose one with an extendable shade or canopy that can protect them from harsh sunlight. A tray for snacks and a cup or bottle holder can keep snacks and drinks close at hand. Finally, a bag clip or tote bag will allow you to carry your shopping bags and other items without adding weight to the overall size of the stroller.ComfortAs toddlers age to be more mobile, they require a stroller that is more comfortable than the one they had when they were infants. A seat that has lots of padding and reclining features will allow them to sit comfortably and remain relaxed in their stroller. Also, a model that has an adjustable footrest and canopy is ideal to adjust to their height changes. Other important factors to consider are a sturdy frame, 5-point harness and braking systems that guarantee security.A double stroller will be ideal for parents with twins or children with similar age. Pick a double stroller with a seating position that can be reversed so that they can ride facing towards the parent, or facing each the other. Reversible chairs can aid your children in bonding while walking. Based on your lifestyle you may need a stroller that has a cup holder or bag clip to keep snacks and beverages 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 crowded streets or on rough terrain. It is also recommended to look for a stroller that comes with an adjustable handlebar and an open window.

You may also think about a stroller with a big canopy that protects your child from sun, and provides several reclining positions.A few of the top strollers come with a compartment that can be used to connect an infant car seat. Other strollers come with attachment points for baby carriers. You may choose a lightweight stroller that weighs less than 30 pounds to make it easier to carry onto and off public transportation.

Do not hang the bag, purse, or any other item from the handle of the stroller since it can cause tipping and possibly cause injury or death to your toddler or baby.The stroller you choose must have a five-point harness which securely attaches to the rear and front of your child.

Some strollers can be used to carry the infant car seat and some even have a flat bassinet that converts into an adult seat. While most strollers aren't easy to steal, some models have locks and shackles that prevent them from being taken by passersby. 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 errands.StoresAs your baby grows, stroller trips become more involved than the simple out and back strolls of childhood. For these trips you'll need additional items, such as a fully stocked diaper bag snacks, drinks, snacks and even extra clothes for Baby. Storage for your stroller is essential to carrying all these items and keeping them in reach.Take a look at a stroller that offers ample storage space. It can store your diaper bag, spare clothes, and one of our best water bottles for children. These necessities will allow you to enjoy your trip without having to worry about bags or baby.If you're looking to store things in a place that is also easy to access, pick an infant stroller with a tray for parents. These consoles usually come with cups holders as well as a large storage area that can hold more than just drinks. Some of our favorite strollers come with tray for parents, and some offer it as an option.When you choose a stroller with a parent tray, make sure it comes with deep cup holders that can securely hold your drink. The cup holders with a shallow design can spill over the edge, posing a danger to your baby. We also recommend not putting anything on the handlebars because this can cause the stroller tip over. This can make a stable stroller unstable based on the weight, the slope of the terrain, and the amount of weight that is in the basket that is on the bottom.Families who plan to have more than one child over the next few years should consider a tandem or side by side stroller. These types of strollers offer seats that are placed together, with a toddler seat on the top and an infant's seat on the bottom. These strollers can save you money in the end by allowing you to use one stroller from birth through toddlerhood.
