Top Strollers for Big Kids 2024

That's where strollers for big kids come to the rescue!  

A “big kid stroller” is specifically designed for older children who are on the verge of outgrowing their traditional stroller but still require a comfy ride. Whether it's a long day at the amusement park, a trip to the zoo, or simply navigating through busy streets, these strollers have your kid’s back! 

Join us as we present our top strollers for big kids and discover the perfect ride for your not-so-little one!

Things to Consider 

When it comes to choosing a big kid stroller, comfort and ease of use are key. You want one that's not too bulky or heavy to manoeuvre and fold. Equally important is ensuring your child fits comfortably, so make sure it meets their size requirements and offers room for growth — both in height and weight! Many strollers tap out on the weight capacity between 45 and 50 lbs, so look out for strollers that exceed this. 

We’d also recommend assessing whether or not the stroller meets both your needs and the needs of your child. These are things such as roominess and helpful features for parents like storage space.  

Does the stroller suit your lifestyle? Do you need one that is portable and lightweight? Or perhaps a jogging stroller, if you’re more active? All good questions to consider! 

Lastly, consider the price and find a balance between the features you want and your budget. With a wide variety of strollers available, finding the perfect one for you, at an affordable price, shouldn’t be difficult. 

Now that you know what to look for, let’s get to the top strollers for big kids!

Changing Needs

 When your child outgrows the stroller seat (or simply can’t sit still for long) but still needs a little assistance, fear not! Many strollers can easily accommodate them with the help of accessories like a glider board. This nifty attachment allows bigger kids to stand on it while the stroller is in motion, providing a safe and convenient way for them to join in on the adventure! This is an easy way to keep them comfortable while they can still enjoy the ride. Win-win we’d say!
