Why toddlers still need wheels
"I thought we were done with strollers." Every parent says it. Then reality hits. Toddlers walk maybe half a mile before demanding to be carried. Museums, airports, theme parks? Forget it. They'll last twenty minutes max.
Our stroller collection works from birth through preschool because we know the truth. Three-year-olds still nap. Four-year-olds get tired at the mall. Even five-year-olds need a break during all-day adventures. Better to have the stroller and not need it than carry 35 pounds of exhausted toddler.
Built tough for toddler life
Both Joolz models handle the toddler years like champs. The Hub, our city stroller, survives toddler chaos with a reinforced frame supporting up to 50 pounds and big wheels that handle extra weight without wobbling. Its storage basket fits everything from backpacks to water bottles, and still folds one-handed when they finally decide to walk. The Aer, our travel stroller, proves lightweight doesn't mean weak by handling 44 pounds while weighing just 13 itself. Most lightweight strollers max out at 35 pounds, but the Aer keeps going strong. TSA-approved size means less airport stress during those family trips where you really need a reliable stroller.
Features that matter for older kids
Toddlers have different needs than babies. They want to see everything, reach their snacks, and hop in and out constantly. Both our strollers adjust for this reality.
The seats recline fully for impromptu naps (because toddlers fall asleep anywhere). But they also sit upright for better views during adventures. Footrests adjust as legs grow longer. Five-point harnesses keep wiggly bodies secure but release quickly for bathroom emergencies.
Our reversible strollers even work for toddlers who need extra comfort. Scary doctor visits? Face them toward you. Exciting zoo trips? Let them face forward. Your choice based on their mood.
The sneaky benefits parents love
Here's what nobody mentions. Toddler strollers save your sanity. They contain the chaos when your kid's overtired. Provide a familiar space in overwhelming environments. Give you leverage during public meltdowns ("If you don't behave, you're going in the stroller").
Plus, strollers make toddlers more adventurous. Knowing they have a safe retreat means they'll explore more, walk farther, try new things. The stroller becomes a base camp for their independence. And when they're done being brave? They've got somewhere comfortable to recover.
Your toddler stroller investment
Free shipping arrives in 10 business days. Klarna available for payment plans. Test for 30 days with free returns if your toddler refuses to cooperate. Every stroller plants a tree that'll grow as tall as your toddler (eventually). Over 100,000 trees in Birth Forests worldwide.
Still wondering if you need a single stroller for your big kid? Our parent team's been there. Real advice from people whose four-year-olds still beg for stroller rides.
Your toddler won't be little forever. But they're not quite big yet either. Get the stroller that bridges the gap.
