Toddlers require different amenities than infants do when it comes to strollers. They may not need as much side support and harnessing as a small infant, but they'll need a stroller with a higher weight capacity. Purchasing a stroller especially made for a toddler, who has more control over his body and can support himself, ensures that you'll be able to choose one that is comfortable for your growing child. Consider reviews submitted by parents just like you when choosing the best stroller for your toddler.

Orbit Toddler Stroller System

The Orbit Toddler Stroller System is distinctive because, unlike most toddler seats, it comes with a full travel system, including a forward-facing toddler chair for the car. This versatility means you can seamlessly and quickly transfer your toddler from the car to her stroller, even if she's asleep. Buzzillions.com users gave this innovative stroller 4.6 out of 5 stars for the reclining function and versatility for their toddlers.

Graco Ipo Stroller

The Graco Ipo Stroller is a solid choice for older toddlers who no longer need the padded side support of a larger stroller. Compact and easy to use, the Graco Ipo Stroller offers a more comfortable ride with excellent steering and maneuverability, according to TestFreaks.com. The site rated this stroller a 7.3 out of a possible 10. A smart choice for traveling or when a more compact stroller is necessary, the Graco Ipo Stroller has a weight limit of 50 lb.

Phil & Ted's Sport Buggy

The Phil & Ted's Sport Buggy is the ultimate when it comes to versatility. It can be adjusted to carry an infant, a toddler, or a toddler and an infant simultaneously. The main seat in the front, meant for larger children who don't need as much support is comfortable and reclines back for a perfect fit. Ideal for parents who have both a toddler and an infant to accommodate, Bobby's Best Product Reviews liked the ease of use and versatility, even if the stroller was a little on the pricey side.

Solo Deluxe Lightweight Single Baby and Toddler Stroller

The Solo Deluxe Lightweight Single Baby and Toddler Stroller is an ideal stroller if you want a full-size stroller for day-to-day use with your toddler. It boasts such amenities as a sun roof, cup holder and padded bars, according to The Mommy Insider, but it has a 55-lb. weight limit for your toddler. The handles even adjust for each member of your family, so you can share the stroller with your taller husband.

Quinny Buzz 3 Complete Stroller

Fitness buffs will love the Quinny Buzz 3 Complete Stroller. Thanks to a sturdy jogging-stroller three-wheel design, your toddler can see your face when seated rear-facing and then face the world when forward-facing. In bright colors that are easy to see on the road, your toddler will be safe in this high-capacity, low-maintenance stroller for hard-core joggers. Buzzillions.com users gave this stroller 3.9 out of 5 stars for a smooth ride, ease of use and soft seat.
