Best multiple, commercial strollers for day care, school

Multi-seat, commercial strollers for day care, school or church that transports small children. Transportation can be a challenge When working with large groups of small children. That is where these multi-seat Strollers make so much sense. Strollers come in a variety of options; singles, doubles, triples, quads, and six seaters. If you manage a daycare, it makes sense to invest in strollers that can transport multiple children (mostly non-walkers).

Introduction

Multi-passenger strollers, such as fold-able six passenger strollers, are quite popular in big daycare centers, and preschools. However, pushing the buggy with all the six children loaded on the Buggy can be a little challenging to push. One method you could use is to seat the heaviest kid in the back and the lightest in the front, which makes it easy to maneuver the stroller. However, if you have an infant, make sure s/he is seated closest to you (alongside the biggest child).

Quad Strollers

There have been quad strollers in the past but they used to be heavy and hard to push. But like other strollers, even the quad strollers have become lighter and pushing them is a breeze. You won’t feel the strain on your arms or legs when you get home from long walks. And most quad strollers are narrow in design, and fit through most doors when you go places.

Multiple stroller that can be used for taking little ones at day care out on walks. Have four kids? Why not buy one of these instead of buying two strollers to push their multiple children. You can even buy a if you have three kids and use the extra seat for storage.

Wagon Stroller

There are some who use a combination of multi-child stroller and a wagon. Most kids love to ride in a wagon, so even when they grow up and no longer want to sit in a stroller, they will happily climb into a wagon when they get tired.

Some caregivers prefer using a wagon that has trailer attachments. Each trailer attachment fits one child and it ends up becoming a train. However, it can become quite noisy (wagons are usually noisy, rubber wheels can help keep the noise level down).

More Options

You can always use a utility strap to attach the wagon handle to the double/triple stroller so that you can push the stroller with two hands and pull the wagon along as well. This enables you to move 4-5 kids whenever you have to.

As far as possible, go for strollers with rubber wheels as they help keep the noise level down, helps when baby is sleeping in the stroller.

Some caregivers may use a sling or child carrier to carry a young baby and then pull a wagon or push a stroller with toddlers inside.

In some preschools, the teachers use double strollers for toddlers and a rope for the older kids (3 years & up) if they have to take a walk around the block. A rope works best if the kids listen to you well and follow instructions. Make sure you train with the kids, using a rope, in a safe area before you take them out.

Daycare owners may consider investing in second hand strollers to save cost.
