When shopping for a double or triple stroller, you will find that there are two different types of seating options and two different types of frames and wheels. You can choose from either side by side seating or tandem seating (one in front of the other). Each has advantages and disadvantages that are all worth considering.
Your lifestyle will often dictate just what kind of frames and wheels to look for. Are you a fitness buff looking to include your babies on your daily jog? Or do you simply need something to accomodate your children while you run errands? There are street strollers, joggers and all terrain strollers. Choosing what best suits your lifestyle will ensure a smooth ride for you and your babies. Jogging strollers are lightweight are usually configured with one wheel in the front and two in the back for easy navigation. The air inflated wheels make for a smooth ride for baby while you jog, run or walk. These strollers are heavier than a typical stroller and can be more expensive.
An all-terrain stroller is similar to a jogging stroller except that an all-terrain stroller is designed more for long trips out and about. These strollers typically have two swivel-type wheels in front and can actually be used for jogging as well. Just make sure that the owner's manual explicitly states that it is safe for jogging before taking it out for a run.
Street strollers are your basic 4-wheel design and are perfect for long walks and trips to the mall. These everday strollers are the most common type and come in a wide variety of styles and prices.
When choosing seating, side by side seating allows for the seats to easily recline. A tandem stroller gives each baby more privacy and quiet, however some do not recline as far back. Tandem strollers tend to be thinner in width and easier to get through aisles in stores, while the side by side strollers allow easier access to babies.
Take your children with you, go to a store and take a test ride in your favorites because of course, style counts. Choose your favorite colors and patterns to match the type of stroller that best meets your needs and always check the safety features such as locking brakes, harnesses, sun shades and netting and neck and foot support.
