Deciding on the right Baby stroller for your baby is an important
decision. You will use this piece of baby gear every day for several
years, and you may even want the stroller to hold up long enough to use
with future children. But how can you know which stroller is right for
your needs? Check out our different sections devoted to understanding
the many stroller options available and enjoy our summation of parent
reviews so that you can best choose the right stroller for you and your
baby.
Parents love travels systems because it is possible to move a sleeping baby, undisturbed, from the car to the stroller and vice versa. Infant car seats also come with a carry handle so one can transport the baby in the seat without a stroller, which is great when arriving home with a sleeping baby—you don’t have to wheel the entire stroller inside in order to keep the baby asleep. And, when your baby outgrows the car seat, he can still ride in the stroller.
The main reason for choosing a lightweight or umbrella stroller is the ease at which you can carry and maneuver the stroller, even in small, tight places. Most people wait at least a year before switching from a standard size stroller or travel system to a lightweight or umbrella stroller but many parents are now also choosing lightweight strollers as their sole stroller option (birth to toddlerhood) in place of standard strollers and travel system strollers due to the ease and convenience of these strollers.

Standard Size Strollers
Standard strollers are regular size strollers and can usually hold babies from birth until late toddlerhood or early preschool years. Many standard size strollers are designed in conjunction with infant car seats and are therefore known as travel systems. However, for parents who desire some of the features of a travel system (like having the baby face the stroller pusher) without purchasing a travel system, many standard size strollers have been designed as transformers. These strollers start out as carriages allowing the baby to lie flat and face the stroller driver and then transition to a regular forward facing stroller. On some strollers the seats can be reversed, and sometimes the handle bars on the stroller can be flipped allowing you to face your baby. Less high-tech standard size strollers just allow the baby or toddler to face forward but almost all standard sized strollers are equipped with multi-reclining stroller seats that lie flat, therefore accommodating a newborn. Most parents will choose to invest in a standard size stroller as their first stroller.Travel System Strollers
Travel systems are the combination of a stroller and infant car seat in one. Some infant car seats can be snapped right into the stroller and sometimes you will need to purchase a car seat adaptor to allow your infant car seat to latch securely to your stroller. Not all infant car seats can be used with all strollers, so be sure to check compatibility before purchasing.Parents love travels systems because it is possible to move a sleeping baby, undisturbed, from the car to the stroller and vice versa.

Lightweight Strollers
Lightweight strollers and umbrella strollers are light and compact strollers that usually accommodate infants from 6 months of age (when they can sit up) until toddlerhood. This minimum age restriction is due to the fact that most lightweight strollers do not have seats that recline flat, therefore making them impracticable (and unsafe) for young infants. However, more and more lightweight strollers are adding this feature, allowing for even newborn infants to sit safely in the stroller. Some lightweight strollers can now even be used as travel systems or as prams (with a baby bassinet).The main reason for choosing a lightweight or umbrella stroller is the ease at which you can carry and maneuver the stroller, even in small, tight places.

Jogging Strollers and All-Terrain Strollers
Jogging strollers are designed for parents on the move. These strollers allow for parents to get in their daily run, without having to find daycare for their infant. Many jogging strollers can even maneuver smoothly over off-road terrain, and several companies are even coming out with lightweight jogging strollers that can also be used as the perfect, everyday stroller when running errands, shopping, or taking a walk. However, users should be aware that most jogging strollers cannot be used for jogging or running with a baby until the baby has reached six months in age.Double Strollers
Double strollers are dual strollers connected for the purpose of strolling with more than one child. They can be used for twins or for siblings of different ages who both still require the conveniences of a stroller. There are two types of double strollers on the market: Tadem Double Strollers and Side-By-Side Double Strollers.A Tadem double stroller is when the seats of the stroller are positioned one in front of the other.
