Must-have Most families use a stroller daily. Size and weight matter more than features: a huge stroller that doesn't fit your trunk is a common regret.
Secondhand: Fine secondhand. Fine secondhand. Check the brakes and folding locks, and search the model on the CPSC recall list.
Typical use: about 36 months.
Tip: Measure your trunk before you buy, and lift the folded stroller in a store if you can.
Compare fold size and weight, how the stroller handles your terrain, whether it takes your infant car seat or a bassinet, and recall history. Single-to-double strollers are worth a look if you plan a second child.
2 have a safety or materials point to know about, noted in the reviews below.
A premium-feeling stroller that converts from single to double, at a much lower price than luxury brands.
A compact full-size stroller that lies flat for newborns without a bassinet, steers smoothly and is built to last.
Tied for BabyGearLab's top score: top-tier build, a huge basket and room to grow from one child to three with add-on seats. It's heavy, folds big and costs a lot.
Stylish and nimble, with a one-hand fold and a huge canopy. It can't convert to a double, and the fold can be finicky.
The go-to jogging stroller for trails and runs, with a locking front wheel and smooth suspension. A hand brake costs extra.
A compact-folding all-terrain stroller with never-flat tires and a big canopy that handles trails well. The fold is fiddly, and first-generation Roams were recalled for brakes.
Beautiful, smooth and well-made, with a bassinet included. Expensive, and single only.
Folds easily with big wheels and good basket access, and pairs with Nuna's Pipa car seats. It's heavy and pricey for its score, and the basket has a low weight limit.
