Extras
- They come in single and double models (tandem). Learn more from the buying guide about tandem strollers .
- Some are designed as a travel system, or they can easily be adapted to fit carriers and car seats.
- There are lightweight "full-featured" strollers, which are less expensive. However, they are not as well-constructed nor do they offer as many features as a traditional stroller. Go to the buying guide on lightweight strollers to find out more.
- Some models come in a three wheel, "jogging stroller" style. Looks alone though are not what it takes to be sufficiently stable for runners. Runners need to find a full-featured stroller specifically geared towards jogging. See the buying guide for jogging strollers for more information.
