Best Strollers For Big Children (All The Popular Options)

Joovy Zoom 360 Jogger Stroller

The Zoom 360 is one of the best big kid stroller options you’ll find. For one thing, it has a maximum weight limit of 75 lbs, so you know your kid will be able to use it for a few years. And the stroller is recommended for kids that are at least three months old, so you could technically get several years of use out of it.

The seat of the stroller reclines and it can be adjusted to several different height positions. The seat itself is about 20” tall (from the bottom of the seat to the canopy), so it will probably be tall enough for your child. Generally, kids that are up to 45-47” will be comfortable in this stroller, unless they have a pretty tall torso. Because if your kid has a tall torso, there’s a good chance that their head is going to touch the canopy, and that’s not really entertaining for anyone.

Moms from all over the world have reported using this with children that range in age from 2 to 6 years old, so there’s a good chance that you will be able to use it with your kid. And when you do you will have plenty of space for your own things, with the mesh pockets and the parent organizer that’s included in the stroller. Plus, with such a smooth ride, it’s really easy to maneuver this thing around – the front wheel swivels for maximum maneuverability, but it can also be locked into position. And with shock-absorbent suspension, you can even use the Zoom 360 on cobblestone, and not worry about your kid being bothered by the bumps!

Joovy Caboose Graphite

The Caboose stroller is a good example of a jogging stroller that you can use for years with a kid. It’s even suitable for babies, provided you put them in infant car seats first. But with a capacity of 45 lbs, it’s also great for older kids. This is a tandem stroller, so it’s also suitable to be used by two kids at the same time. And I personally think that it is an awesome all-in-one choice.

According to Joovy, the front seat of the Caboose is suitable for kids that are up to 40” tall, while the rear seat can be used by kids that are up to 44” tall. I can’t tell you the exact age that the stroller is recommended for, because that mostly depends on how tall your kid is, and how quickly they grow. Oh, and the rear of this stroller features both a seat and a standing spot for your kid, so they can choose what they’d like to do that day.

In terms of the comfort and safety of your kid, the stroller has a 3-point reclining seat, in addition to a parking brake. Plus there is a pretty big basket below the reclining seat, as well as a few slip pockets for all of the other things you’ll need on the go. Overall, this is probably the smallest and most compact stroller you can get for two kids!

Product Specifications:

• Stroller type: Tandem
• Maximum weight capacity: 90 lbs (45 lbs on the front seat, 45 lbs on the back seat)
• Seatback height: 18”

Pockit Lightweight Foldable Stroller

You know how I said at the beginning that you can even get a stroller that will fit inside your purse when folded? Well, that’s this one! The Pockit is one of the most lightweight strollers around.  And it’s also probably the most compact umbrella stroller ever, and it is perfect for parents that are looking for something that’s travel-friendly. It’s not as sturdy or shock-absorbent as your jogger stroller, but it’s more than good enough for a family vacation.

It’s great for kids that are up to 55 lbs, but it’s not really suitable for babies, because it doesn’t offer the head support that they need. The seat of the stroller is pretty tall (about 21”), and so it’s great even for taller kids. Children that are up to 45-46” tall will definitely be comfortable in this stroller. I’d say that the only downside of the Pockit is the pretty much non-existent canopy, but that’s something that you could always buy separately.

Other features of this stroller include an adjustable harness, swivel wheels that you can also lock when you want to, and a large basket below the seat that can hold up to 11 lbs of gear. And I haven’t told you the best thing about the stroller – it weighs just under 10 lbs. Overall, if you are looking for a travel-friendly and lightweight stroller for your kids, I think this is the best one your money can buy.

• Stroller type: Umbrella/Foldable
• Maximum weight limit: 55 lbs
• Seatback height: 21”

BOB Revolution Flex Jogging Stroller

BOB is a brand favored by moms from all over the world. They make top-of-the-line jogging strollers that have a smooth ride, are easy to use, and are highly reliable. But that comes at a price, which is usually pretty high. And more than worth it, because this is one of the few jogging strollers that have a capacity of 75 lbs, in addition to all of its other features.

Those include locking swivel front wheels that have excellent shock absorption and perform great on all terrains. There is also the padded and adjustable handlebar, which is really useful if there’s a big height difference between you and your spouse. This way you can both change the adjustable handlebar to fit your needs. And it also has an excellent suspension system, so that your child doesn’t feel a single bump in the road.

In terms of gear storage, the BOB Revolution Flex gives you a large basket below the seat and quite a few pockets on the back. The only thing you might miss is a cup holder, but you can purchase that separately. I would actually recommend you do so (get the stroller bundle for $20 more) because you will also get a tire pump. Which is not included in the purchase of just the stroller. But overall, I would definitely recommend this jogging stroller if you can afford it. This stroller for big kids is very reliable and it performs excellently on all types of terrain.

Radio Flyer 4-in-1 Stroll 'N Trike Ride on Tricycle Toy

If you’re looking for a fun and interactive stroller for big kids, I can’t recommend this one enough. For one thing, the Radio Flyer Stroller can be used by kids that are at least 9 months old, up to 5 years. And it grows with them – the seat is adjustable and the parts are removable. So, as your child grows older, you can remove the canopy and the safety handles in the front. That way, they can really feel more independent.

Keep in mind that this is not your everyday jogger stroller – this is more of a stroller for fun outings with your kid, who doesn’t really want to be wheeled around in a big-boy stroller all the time. But still gets tired after long walks. And one downside of this is that they removed the footrest from the newer models, so it’s much less suitable for younger kids. Big kids, on the other hand, can usually rest their feet on the pedals.

As your kid grows, you can even remove the parent steering handle, so that they can feel even more grown-up. But if you’re getting this for your two-year-old and plan to use it with them even when they are older, you should know that there are plenty of features for them. There’s the three-point harness, as well as the adjustable seat and canopy, and a removable front tray and cup holder. Overall it is a pretty fun version of a stroller, but definitely not something you’ll want to use every single day.

Kolcraft Cloud Plus Lightweight Stroller

The Kolcraft Cloud Plus is a good choice because it is basically an umbrella stroller, but it is nowhere near as small as umbrella strollers traditionally are. So, if you are looking for something lightweight that’s also a compact fold, so easy to store, this is a good choice. The maximum capacity of this stroller is some 50 lbs, which could even fit an average 6-year-old. There are no exact specs on the height of the back of the seat, but a few moms did state that their 41” tall kids fit comfortably in it.

And the seat of the stroller reclines, so you will be able to adjust it to an angle that will fit your kid best. However, some parents had issues with the angle of the seat because it leans a little bit forward – apparently, there’s a chance that a smaller kid will just slide out from it. But that should not be a problem with older kids.

In terms of convenience for parents, the stroller has a large basket under the seat that can hold all your on-the-go necessities. There are also trays for both the kid and the parents, with the latter one including two cup holders. But there are also some inconveniences, like the fact that you will actually have to bend down to lock the rear wheels of the stroller, when you should be able to do this with your foot. And the height of the handle is not adjustable, so there’s no guarantee it will fit you properly.

• Stroller type: Umbrella
• Maximum weight limit: 50 lbs

Thule Urban Glide 2.0 Jogging Stroller

The Thule jogger is another popular choice for a big kid stroller. And for good reasons – with a seat back height of 21” and a capacity of 75 lbs, it’s great even for older kids who are taller or heavier than average. Plus, it is a very safe and sturdy stroller, with a lot of really useful and thoughtful features, like the integrated hand brake and the locking swivel wheels.

The main downside of this stroller is that locking the brake is not as easy as it should be, since the brake is a little stiff. And Thule justified this with a brake-in period for the brake, which is kind of weird but also true. But other than that, it’s a damn good stroller – the seat reclines, the canopy is adjustable, the harness has 5 safety points and the suspension on it is pretty good.

Additionally, it’s pretty easy to store since it folds very nicely and has a really compact fold. One thing I really like about this particular big kid stroller is the design of storage space for parents – it is not just a plain open basket that displays all your things to the world. Rather, the basket has a zip cover as well as a rear pocket and two additional compartments, that still allow you to have some privacy. Overall, it is certainly a great choice for an older choice, but only if you can afford the high price tag.

• Stroller type: Jogger
• Maximum weight limit: 75 lbs
• Seat back height: 21”

besrey Kids Trike 7 in 1 Push Stroller Baby Tricycle

The bersey Kids stroller tricycle is pretty similar to the previous one we talked about. But, it is more expensive than it, and in turn, it has quite a few more features. For one thing, this is a 7-in-1 trike, as opposed to the previous 4-in-1. It also has foldable pedals, an armrest, an adjustable backseat, double brakes, and even a closed storage basket for the parents. And even the seat can be rotated so that you can turn your child to face you if you want to. Pretty, awesome, right?

But there is a catch – those 110 lbs are just a reference to the weight that the trike can hold. Keep in mind that there are full-grown adults who weigh this much, and there’s no chance they would be able to fit inside this stroller! The thing is, older children are meant to use this as a trike and not a stroller. A 40-lb child might not fit perfectly inside the seat with the harness, and you will have to remove it for them to be able to use it.

Which means no safety options whatsoever. But if your kid is big enough that you don’t need to worry about them falling off the trike, then great! Maybe you want to use it as a stroller with your younger child, and as a trike with the older one – even better! Because, even when you turn this into just a trike, it’s your choice whether or not to remove the handlebar. So, you will still have some control over your kid, as opposed to getting them a regular trike.

• Stroller type: Stroller/Tricycle
• Maximum weight capacity: 55 lbs recommended (max up to 110 lbs)

Graco Room for 2 Tandem Stroller

The Graco Tandem is a double stroller for two children, similar to the Joovy Caboose. It has a reclining seat that is compatible with an infant car seat in the front, and a back seat that allows your kid to either sit or stand. But, if you have a car seat in the front of the stroller, your kid won’t be able to sit on the back seat, because there is not enough space. And that’s just poor design if you ask me.

Other than that, it’s a pretty good stroller for big kids. It has a larger maximum weight capacity than the previous stroller of this type that we talked about, and so it is an even better fit for older children. The front seat can be fully reclined to lie flat, and the back seat is completely padded and your kids will feel comfortable sitting on it. And the stroller is equipped with lockable front swivel wheels, that allow for easy maneuverability.

There are cup holders and trays for both the kids and the parents, which is pretty convenient. Additionally, the storage basket under the seat of this double stroller is pretty large and will fit most of your on-the-go must-haves. Overall, I would say that this double stroller is a great choice for parents who have two kids with an age difference of 1-2 years. It will make running errands with them much easier and quicker.

Note: If you want a convertible stroller instead, try the Vista V2 Stroller which can be used for one or two kids.

Product Specifications:

• Stroller type: Double Stroller
• Maximum weight limit: 50 lbs on each seat (100 lbs total)
• Seatback height: —

Baby Jogger 2016 Summit X3 Stroller

The last but definitely not the least stroller we’ll check out is the Baby Jogger Summit X3. It is an all-terrain stroller, with large wheels that offer great shock absorption. So, it’s actually a good choice for parents who are looking to step off the beaten path with their kids. The wheels are pretty sturdy and they swivel, for great maneuverability around the town. And the lock for them is mounted on the handlebar, which is really convenient.

This stroller is very easy to fold and unfold with a simple pull of a strap, which means it’s super convenient to store almost anywhere. And which makes it the perfect stroller to take in your car everywhere! But one downside of this stroller is that the storage basket under the seat is pretty small, and you will probably need to bring an additional bag.

There’s one more thing to note; this stroller is not the best choice if you live in a really warm area. It gets hot inside the stroller, and your kid probably won’t like that. But, as far as your own comfort goes, you will find that the height of the handle is a good fit for most people and that a painful back will be a thing of the past. Overall it’s a pretty good choice if you looking for an off-road type of stroller.

Product Specifications:

• Stroller type: Jogger
• Maximum weight limit: 75 lbs
• Seatback height: Approximately 23”
