When you need it
Toddlers often ask for a doll stroller around 18 months, once they walk steadily and love copying everything you do. Pushing a teddy around the house or along the sidewalk is great role play. Interest usually lasts through the preschool years, until around 48 months, especially if there is a new baby in the family.
What to look for
Choose a stroller with a wide, stable wheelbase so it doesn't tip forward when a toddler leans on the handle. Handle height matters; it should sit around your child's waist or chest, and some models adjust. Check for pinch points on the folding mechanism and choose wipe-clean fabric. A lightweight frame is easier to carry to the park.
