What Kind of Parent Are You?
33
I Have NO Idea What I Need
34
Buying a stroller was a BIG decision for me. It took me more time to pick a stroller than my
car! I truly felt like I was buying the FIRST car for my baby. I didn't want to be stuck with a
crappy stroller for 3 years wishing I’ve spent more time on research. So, I tested different
strollers, read endless reviews and watched many youtube videos before finally making my
decision. Took me 3 MONTHS! There are SO many choices and I was feeling obsessed,
overwhelmed and addicted all at the same time. While I did my research I couldn't find one
single site that had a good comparison chart and a comprehensive buying guide to help me
through the process. That is why I decided to put one together for you. You can also find a
comparison chart on my site.
Let me begin by saying that most parents have more than one stroller. So, if you are trying
to find a stroller that HAS IT ALL, it's impossible. You will have to scarifies something. Some
strollers are heavy and bulky, but have large air filled tires that will go through any terrain.
Others are light and compact, great for traveling and running errands, but have a small
basket and don't handle terrain that well. I personally have two for right now:
1) Bumbleride Indie that I use for long walks and light jogging (jogging happens once a
month) at the park, and 2) Peg Perego Vela for quick trips to the grocery store, doctor's
office, swimming pool, or shopping mall.
Look, I am not saying you HAVE to have two strollers. You can have only one, but it's
probably not going to be perfect in every situation. Now, since different parents live
different lifestyle and in different locations, they will need different strollers. Therefore, it's
kind of pointless asking a parent for recommendation. Just because this person has kids,
doesn't mean the stroller she recommends you will be right for you.
Everybody have a different budget and different preferences. It's funny, but when I was
pregnant my mom went around asking random strangers at the mall or a beauty salon
about their strollers. Then she would call me and tell me who she met and what they said.
She was trying to help me. LOL. Well, I hope this guide will make it much easier for you
than it was for me.
Types of Strollers
There are so many different types of strollers on the market it can get very confusing. First,
I want you to get an idea of what's out there. Each type has it’s pros and cons. Have no
fear. We will get into details later.
Standard Size
This is the most popular type of stroller that comes in all shapes and sizes. They are fullfeatured models that are designed to provide your baby with as much comfort as possible
while also making it easier for you to get around. They include roomy seat, large sun shade
(also called canopy), deep recline, storage area below the seat, and good size wheels that
can handle some terrain.
Most of them have travel system capability meaning you can convert it into a travel system
for the first 6 months by using an infant car seat adapter. The weight of the stroller ranges
anywhere from 16 - 32 lbs. Some have a reversible seat where the baby can face the parent
or the world. A few have a pram option where you can convert it into a pram by replacing
the seat with a bassinet. The price ranges anywhere from $100 up to $1,000.
Travel Systems
The travel system includes a stroller and a matching infant car seat. The beauty of a travel
system is that the infant car seat easily snaps right into the stroller without any adapters.
It's especially convenient when need to transport a sleeping baby from the car into the
stroller or from a stroller into the house.
The travel systems are budget friendly and very often come with a lot of accessories like
parent organizer, cup holder, and a child's snack tray, which is great comparing to a lot of
luxury stroller that make you buy everything separately.
This is a very popular option due to its affordable price. If you go to BabiesRus or Target,
you will see a ton of travel systems. Why? Well, because for only $200 you can get a stroller
and an infant car seat.
While it's pretty hard to beat it price wise, don't expect to get a high quality. Most parents
regret buying it, because after the baby has outgrown her infant car seat (about 6
months), they are stuck with a bulky heavy stroller that has crappy wheels. And by heavy I
mean anywhere from 26 - 32 lbs. It’s tough to travel with and the long walks are not very
smooth.
Car Seat Stroller Frames
The car seat frames is a lightweight option (about 11 lbs) that is designed to carry only an
infant car seat. It's kind of like a travel system only without the main seat. You can easily
snap the car seat right into the frame without any additional adapters. It’s great for
transporting a sleeping baby! It's also very compact and is easy to throw into the trunk.
Many have a large underneath basket, adjustable handle bar, a parent organizer and a cup
holder. Frames are becoming more and more popular especially among those parents who
live in the city. The downside is that you can only use it while your child is using an infant
car seat (about 12 months). After that, you will need to buy a stroller. The cost of the frame
is around $100.
Prams
Traditional prams is a stylish way of taking your newborn for a stroll. You can use it for the
first 6 months while your baby requires a flat surface for sleeping and can't move around
that much. As soon as you baby becomes active, it's not safe anymore because the bassinet
is shallow and doesn't have a safety harness.
Keep in mind; pram is really a luxury that you will use ONLY for the first few months. From
a practical point of view, an infant car seat is a better option because it will last you for a
whole year instead of just a few months.
Also, it's much easier to transition your baby from the car into the stroller/frame when he is
in a car seat and eliminates the extra piece of baby gear you need to take with you.
Sometimes, after loading the car for 30 min with baby stuff, I have a feeling like I packed
half of the house. And guess what? I always forget something (usually for myself). LOL.
Anyways, if you are on a tight budget, I would definitely skip it. Now, if you are into prams
and have the money, I would go for it. I know it's not practical, but time flies so fast, and
before you know it your baby will not be a newborn anymore. I didn't get the stroller with a
bassinet option and now regretting it. Spend the first 6 months strolling in style! You
deserve it!
Lightweight Strollers
Lightweight strollers are light and compact making them great for traveling. They weigh
anywhere from 8 to 16 lbs. Take it to a mall, doctor's office, or restaurant; they are easy to
navigate in any narrow or tight space.
Lightweight strollers are mostly used for kids older than 6 months because of the limited
features. Most of them don't have a travel system capability and aren't very adjustable.
The small wheels make it hard to go over rough terrain. Many come with a small sun shade
and don't have a full recline (or don't recline at all). There are also so called "umbrella"
strollers that have a very compact fold and can be carried over the shoulder. The downside
of the umbrella model is a tiny hard to access basket underneath the seat and double nonadjustable handles. Because of the limited features, umbrella strollers cost a lot less.
The price ranges anywhere from $50 to $250. I've seen some that cost $20, but they look
like they are made for dolls, so I wouldn't risk putting my child into them.
Jogging Strollers
If you like to go for a jog, get a jogger. These strollers have three large bicycle wheels
with air-filled tires that will go through any kind of terrain.
The built-in suspension will provide your little one with a smooth ride. Joggers have a higher
weight limit than your standard stroller since you might want to use it for longer than 3
years, till your child can keep up with you.
Also, most of them offer travel system capability meaning you can use them with an infant
car seat. While great for long walks, runs, and even hiking the trails, they are usually very
bulky, heavy, and hard to maneuver in a tight space.
Remember, it is NOT recommended to jog with a child younger than 8 months.
Double and Triple Strollers
Having twins or a second child? Then you will need a double stroller. Double strollers are of
course more expensive and much heavier than a single stroller. There are two options:
tandem and side-by-side. Each option has its benefits and drawbacks. The side-by-side
option has two equal comfortable seats next to each other where both kids can be any age.
You can even put an infant car seat into one or both seats.
While side-by-side model is much easier when it comes to getting over the curb or going
down the hill, it is harder to get through the doorway, narrow store isles, between the cars
on the parking lot, or down the crowded sidewalk. That's where the tandem model wins
because it has narrower frame and is easier to navigate in a tight spaces. In tandem stroller
the seats are located one behind another.
Some models even have reversible and removable seats so your children can face you or
each other. The drawback is that a lot of times the second seat is smaller, doesn't have the
same features as the main one, and has lower weight limit. There are also so called "sitand-stand tandem" strollers where there is a main seat is and a seat with a platform behind
the main seat where the older sibling can sit or stand. These models are getting more and
more popular especially in an urban environment where parents used to run a lot of errands
around town.
From Birth to 6 Months, From 6 Month to 3
Years
I suggest thinking about these two periods separately because your child has different
needs.
0 - 6 months. From birth to 6 months your baby can't sit up and needs more neck support.
Therefore you will be probably using an infant car seat or a bassinet for the first 6
months. You can do following:





Travel System. Buy a travel system that comes in a package with a stroller and a
matching infant car seat.
Standard Stroller. Buy a standard stroller that you will use after 6 months and
convert it into travel system by getting a car seat adapter and purchasing infant car
seat separately.
Frame. Buy an infant car seat and a car seat stroller frame.
Pram. Get a pram (you will still need to buy an infant car seat to use in the car).
Bassinet. Buy a standard stroller with a bassinet option and convert it into a pram.
I know, I know that's a lot of options. The most practical way is to buy a standard stroller
and convert it into a travel system by getting an infant car seat adapter. There are some
strollers that have a completely flat recline, but I personally recommend using an infant car
seat for a few reasons:


Convenience. If you are a first time parent, you probably can't even imagine how
important it is not to wake up a sleeping baby. Those moments are precious! While
he is sleeping, you can finally brush your teeth, eat something, take a shower, or
more importantly go to the bathroom by YOURSELF. LOL. Transferring a baby from a
stroller into a car, or from the car into the house is super easy if your child is in a car
seat.
Safety. Car sat provides your baby with maximum support and comfort. It's the
most safe way of transporting your child.
6 - 3 years. That's when you child becomes very active, wants to see everything and touch
everything. The 5 point harness is essential to keeping the child in his seat. Once your child
starts walking, he will have so much energy you will go crazy staying at home.
Going to the playgrounds, parks, and long walks on the daily basis will be the only way to
get your child tired enough to take a nap. Your stroller will become your base camp full of
snacks, drinks, change of clothes, towels if you are going to the pool and other crap you
need to take with you when you are away from home for 3-4 hours. You will need ample of
storage and larger wheels to get through broad range of terrain.
Lifestyle Impact on Stroller Selection
Surprisingly, your lifestyle can have a big impact on your stroller selection. Do you like to
spend a lot of time outdoors? Do you live in a small apartment with limited space? Do you
like to travel? Do you use public transit? Are you planning on running errands with the
baby? Etc.
Urban Lifestyle. In the city many parents live in small apartments, use public transit, and
run errands around town by foot. They rarely use a car, many don't have one. In some
buildings there is no elevator so they have to use stairs to go up and down. Many walk to
the park from their apartment building. They want to have one lightweight compact stroller
that has plenty of storage and can be easily folded. At the same time it needs to be durable
with decent wheels for different types of terrain.
Suburban Lifestyle. Most parents get around in a car. I personally live in suburbs and own
an SUV. So the size and the weight of the stroller is a lesser issue for me. Most of the time I
use my car to get to the park or a grocery store so I don't need to do shopping with my
stroller. Like most suburban parents, I have two strollers one for going to the park, and
another one for running errands, going to the mall or doctor's office. I can take either of the
strollers when I go to the pool because I carry most of the stuff myself anyways.
Like to Travel. Some parents just can't stay in one place for long. They like to be outdoors
a lot and travel to different places or even countries. They need a lightweight stroller that
has umbrella like fold and can be carried around.
Change of Seasons. If you live in a state that has snowy winters, consider getting an allterrain stroller. You will really thank me when you have to get through piles of snow. On the
other hand, if you live in a tropical climate and like to go to the beach, you will need an allterrain stroller to get through the sand.
Main Stroller Features To Look At
By now, you should have an idea of what kind of stroller you might want to get. This is a
great time to examine different features each stroller offers.
Sun Shade (Canopy)
Sun shade also called "canopy" plays an important role in shading your child from sun or
wind. I like to see a huge canopy (like 3 panels) that goes all the way to the bumper bar
completely shielding a child.
It looks like many companies finally understand that the canopy needs to be large because
I've been seeing more and more new models with oversized canopies. However, most of the
low budget strollers and travel systems have crappy small non-adjustable canopies.
There is also so called 'follow-the-sun' option of the canopy, meaning it can be detached
from the back of the seat and can be adjusted up and down. This is a great way to provide
shade even if the canopy is small.
Another way some companies compensate for small canopies is a pop-out sunvisor. It
doesn't weigh much, can be hidden, and provides a lot of sun protection. I always look at
the canopy size when rating a stroller.
Viewing Window
Most of the strollers on the market have a plastic see-through or a dark mesh viewing
window (also called “Peekaboo Window”). Usually they come with a noisy Velcro closures
that potentially can wake your baby up. Lately, some luxury models come with magnetic
closures that I really like.
Handle bar
Strollers come with a single handle bar or two bars. Most double handles are non-adjustable
and can be seen on lightweight umbrella strollers.
Single handles vary. There are also two different adjustment mechanisms: 1) telescoping
that adjusts up and forward 2) and a regular one that goes up and down. The average
height of a stroller bar is around 40".
If you are much shorter or taller, this might be a very important feature to keep in mind.
Also, think about other family members and friends who might want to take your child for a
walk.
I’ve also seen some strollers with reversible handle bar instead of a reversible seat.
Seat
The seat can be fixed or reversible. The reversible seat is a great feature, but usually makes
the stroller heavier because of the additional frame.
The average weight of a stroller with a reversible seat is around 26 lbs. I think reversible
seat plays a bigger role when your child is younger.
Once he is 2 or 3, good luck keeping him in the seat. All he wants to do is RUN while you
are stuck with a heavy stroller. LOL.
The seat can also be one molded piece where it keeps its 'v' shape when recline. I am not a
big of 'v' shaped seats because I feel like the child is always in the sitting position even
when the seat is reclined back all the way.
Since roomy well-padded seat is important, I take a lot of points away if it's not.
Foot rest
What I like about many luxury models it that most of them have an adjustable foot rest (leg
rest) that goes up so your little baby can stretch his legs. It's not a deal breaker, but also
nice to have.
Recline
I wanted to put recline in a separate category because I think it deserves some attention.
There are two main recline system: 1) strap recline (most popular) 2) one-hand lever
recline. Most strap systems require only one hand to recline the seat, but both hands to
bring the seat back up, while with lever recline you will need only one hand. If the stroller
has a deep flat recline, you can put your newborn baby into the seat. Deep recline is
important feature for a full size stroller. Many umbrella strollers don’t recline at all or have a
small recline.
Folding Mechanism
We all want an easy one-hand fold that models like BOB and Britax B-Agile have. Just pull
on the strap in the middle of the seat and the stroller is folded. Love it! Now, it's worth
mentioning that some great strollers on the market that require both hands to fold.
While I think it's a nice feature to have, it's definitely not a deal breaker. An automatic lock
is also a great feature keeping the stroller folded. Some models also have so called
'standing fold' meaning the stroller can stand on its own when folded.
Many parents get a lightweight umbrella stroller because of its compact fold.
Storage Basket
There is never enough storage in my book. LOL. Most strollers include a basket underneath
the seat, but there are also some that has no basket at all or have a detachable storage bag
instead of a basket.
A large basket is a must-have if you want to go grocery shopping with a stroller or stroll
with a dog in it. Just kidding.... Don't put dogs in the basket. LOL.
Here is one with a storage bag attached.
Accessibility is also important. Umbrella strollers are known for their small hard to access
baskets. I also like when they include a small zipper packet for small essentials like phone,
wallet, and keys.
Parking brake
Flip-flop friendly parking brake is always a plus. Who wants to see scratches on their new
shoes? This is also an important safety feature, so make sure you check them when testing
a stroller.
Suspension
Many strollers have all-wheel or partial suspension. Keep in mind, suspension on a
lightweight stroller is not the same as on a jogger. Joggers have special hard core
suspension that will provide your little one with a smooth ride. Is it a big deal? I think while
it's essential for a jogger, it's nice to have, but not that important when it comes to a
standard or a lightweight stroller.
Wheels
Wheels are probably the most important feature of any stroller. They come in one shape,
but different sizes. Umbrella and lightweight strollers have the smallest wheels because they
are designed for flat surfaces.
If you want to go trail walking, you will need large air-filled tires that can handle rough
terrain and will absorb the bumps. I always look closely on the wheels and subtract a lot of
points :)
Accessories
It's nice when a stroller comes with a lot of different accessories like cup holder, parent
organizer, child's tray, rain cover, foot muff and etc. Is it crucial? Not really. You can buy
many of them separately so I wouldn't base your decision on that.
7 Important Safety Tips
To avoid common strolling injurious use following safety tips:
1. 5 point harness. Use it! It's important to retrain your child with a safety harness. These
days all strollers have a 5 point harness with a center release or side release buckle. Some
of them are padded others are not. Most of them are adjustable. I don't use shoulder straps
anymore because my daughter is older now and doesn't like them, but I always buckle her
up by using waist straps.
2. Folding. Folding mechanisms can also be dangerous. There are some reports (not a lot)
of kids getting their fingertips amputated by a folding stroller. Scary... Don't fold the stroller
with your baby in it! Make sure your child is away from the stroller before folding it.
3. Parking brakes. Check the parking brakes to make sure they are fully set before letting
go of the stroller.
4. Hot coffee in a cup holder. Never ever put a hot tea or coffee in a cup holder. Many
cup holder are shallow and can rotate spilling the hot liquid on your child. Drink your coffee
at home, take a bottle of water with you :)
5. Check for recalls. There are many recalls happen every day. Make sure your stroller or
car seat is not one of them. You can get the info on the Consumer Products Safety
Commission website.
6. Jogging. Don't attempt to jog with a stroller unless it's designed for jogging. Not all
three wheels strollers are joggers. Joggers have three large air-filled tires that can handle
many types of terrain. One of the most confusing companies is Baby Jogger who makes
three wheel strollers that are not joggers. I see people in the park jogging with a low
budget travel system! Crazy. All I want to say is STOP before you lose control! Also, don't
jog unless your child is 8 months old.
7. Wrist strap. Use a wrist strap when jogging to prevent stroller from running away from
you.
My Stroller Recommendations For Every
Lifestyle
What Kind of Parent Are You? The whole process is often very difficult for new parents
because they just DON'T KNOW what kind of parents they will be. Will they be outdoorsy
parents who like to take long walks in the park? Or maybe cool sporty parents who want to
jog, walk trails, and hiking?
Or maybe even cooler parents who will not be afraid to travel half of the world with the
baby (I know those)? Or maybe super stylish and fashionable who want to show off by
getting the most expensive stroller?
Or maybe relaxed parents who go with the flow and don't stress things too much? Or
maybe practical parents who are preparing for a second child?
I was thinking of myself as a stylish sporty parent who will spend a lot of time outdoors
jogging at the park. Well, not much of the jogging has been going on really. LOL. More
walking around neighborhood, shopping or running errands.
I get so tired from keeping my daughter Sophia entertained that I just don't have energy
for jogging. Keep in mind, that a lot depends on your child.
Sophia is little difficult to go shopping with and is impossible to travel with. If you get one of
those, forget about traveling. It will be more fun staying at home. LOL. Can't wait for preschool to start.
Enough complaining about my little angel. Here are my stroller recommendations depending
on the lifestyle. Since my recommendations are more generic, let me know if you have
some specific preferences and I will make sure to recommend the best stroller for your
needs.
I also know that budget can be an issue, so I always try to include different options.
1. Lifestyle: Sporty
If you are one of those cool sporty parents who like to stay in shape no matter what (and
make the rest of us look bad), then you can't go wrong with a jogger. Joggers have large
air-filled tires and can handle any type of terrain while providing your child with a smooth
comfortable ride.
BOB Revolution SE
If you are on the market for a hardcore
jogger, you can't go wrong with BOB
Revolution SE. It has state-of-the-art
suspension system, large air-filled wheels,
huge canopy, large basket, and one-hand
fold. It can also convert into a travel
system.
It weighs 25 lbs which is average for a
jogger. The price ranges anywhere from
$350-$450 on Amazon depending on the
color and the seller. Read my full review »
Bumbleride Indie
For light jogging/fast walking I can also
recommend a Bumbleride Indie. It's a
lightweight jogger that is full of luxury
features like deep recline, huge canopy, ecofriendly fabric, adjustable leg rest,
adjustable handle bar, large wheels,
suspensions system, large basket, and travel
system option.
More importantly, it weighs only 20 lbs!
This is one of the lightest joggers on the
market. It can be purchased for around $530
on Amazon and comes with a cup holder,
bumper bar, and a car seat adapter.

Eddie Bauer Endurance
If you are on the budget, I would
recommend Eddie Bauer Endurance that
features roomy seat, one-hand recline,
follow-the-sun canopy, large basket, parent
organizer, snack tray, and travel system
option.
The large wheels can handle any type of
terrain. More importantly, it weighs only 21
lbs, which is a lightweight for a jogger, and
costs only $200 on Amazon!
2. Lifestyle: Outdoorsy
If you like to spend a lot of time outdoors going to the park or playgrounds, you need an
all-terrain stroller with larger wheels. They don't need to be as large as on a jogger, but
should be large enough to handle different types of terrain.
Baby Jogger City Mini GT
The Baby Jogger City Mini GT is excellent
option. It has a roomy seat, huge
canopy, all-terrain 8.5" forever-air tires,
hand brake, travel system option, travel
system option, nice basket, and adjustable
handle bar.
The maneuverability is outstanding! It also
has one-hand compact fold and weighs only
21 lbs. Despite having three wheels, it's not
a jogger, but you can fast walk with it. Many
celebraties have been seen with GT model. It
retails for around $300 on Amazon.
BOB Motion
Another stroller that I like is BOB Motion. It's
a new all-terrain four-wheel stroller from
BOB. It has the same great suspension that
you usually see on a jogger, air-filled tires,
deep recline, huge canopy, one-hand fold,
adjustable handle bar, and travel system
option.
It weighs only 23 lbs which is lightweight
for a stroller with this kind of suspension
system and all-terrain wheels. It is sold for
around $280 on Amazon.
3. Lifestyle: Urban Living
I know, I know, if you live in the city you have room for only one stroller that is used on a
daily basis and needs to have everything and then some. It needs to be lightweight, have
travel system option, have a compact fold for public transit and storage, but at the same
time most city parents use it for grocery shopping so it needs to have large basket and a
narrow frame for navigating narrow store aisles.
Mamas & Papas Armadillo
The Armadillo is a new stroller from Mamas &
Papas that is perfect for urban environment. It
has a small foot print, large basket, huge
canopy, deep recline, travel system option,
adjustable leg rest, and compact one-hand fold.
The small wheels are designed for even surface.
It’s unusual for such a lightweight stroller to
have so many features.
Great for traveling because it weighs only 17
lbs. It retails for only $280 on Amazon.
Britax B-Agile
This is not exactly a budget option, because I
just can't simply find a good quality stroller for
lower than $250. The Britax B-Agile is another
great. It has roomy seat, huge canopy, deep
recline, large basket, all-wheel suspension,
travel system option, and one-hand compact
fold.
The frame is not as narrow as Armadillo's but is
still very narrow at 23" wide. It weighs only 16
lbs and retails for around $250 on Amazon.
4. Lifestyle: Pram Lovers
Do you see yourself strolling in style with a beautiful pram? Well, there are a few strollers
that come with a matching bassinet. Most of them have a removable/reversible seat, that
you can replace with a bassinet, turning your stroller into a beautiful pram. Since prams are
really a luxury, there is no budget friendly option.
UPPAbaby Vista
The UPPAbaby Vista is one of my
favorites. It's an all-terrain stroller that
comes with a beautiful matching
bassinet, has a reversible seat,
adjustable leg rest, huge basket,
adjustable handle bar, travel system
option in case you want to use it with a
car seat, and huge sun shade (canopy).
The manuverablity on Vista is
outstanding! Once you are done with a
bassinet, you have a great stylish allterrain stroller. It weighs 25.5 lbs. This
luxury stroller comes at a high price tag
of $729 on Amazon.
Bugaboo Cameleon 3
I also really like Bugaboo Cameleon
3 that has reversible seat, reversible
handle bar, hand brake, huge basket,
front-wheel suspension, easy fold, allterrain tires, and it comes with a
matching bassinet. It weighs ONLY 21
lbs!
What is really interesting and unique
about Cameleon 3, is that it has a twowheel mode that supposedly makes it
easier to go over sand or snow. It retails
for about $980 on Amazon.
5. Lifestyle: Planning for Second
If you haven't had the first child yet, but already thinking about the second (I should tell
you to stop and wait till you have one because than you might reconsider. LOL. Just kidding.
They are a joy of our lives), I can recommend you a single stroller that can convert into a
double when you have a second child. How cool is that?
Britax B-Ready
The Britax B-Ready is a luxury
stroller that has a
reversible/removable seat and can
convert into a double stroller with an
addition of a second seat. With over
14 seat combinations you can have
two newborns in car seats, toddler
and a newborn, or two toddlers. You
can even replace the main seat with
a bassinet converting it into a pram.
The B-Ready (27 lbs) also features
large canopy, adjustable leg rest,
huge basket, adjustable handle bar,
all-wheel suspension and easy fold. It
can be purchased for around $399 on
Amazon. Read my full review »
Baby Jogger City Select
Baby Jogger City Select is another
great option for convertible stroller.
This award-winning stroller has ability
to transform into a double mode with
an addition of a second seat. There is
over 16 different seat combinations!
It also features large canopy,
telescoping handle bar, adjustable
foot rest, and huge basket. It
weighs 28 lbs.
You can even replace both seats with
TWO bassinets! The price ranges
from $360 - $499 on Amazon
depending on the color. Read my full
review »
6. Lifestyle: Let's Travel
For those parents who are planning on travelling half of the world with the baby, I would
recommend getting a lightweight umbrella stroller that has a compact fold and travel
system option. Only a few umbrella strollers have that option. To take an infant car seat,
the stroller needs to be sturdy enough which usually results in a slightly higher weight and
price. Keep in mind, all umbrella strollers have small wheel that designed for flat surfaces.
They are not going to do well on rough terrain or long walks in the park.
Bumbleride Flite
The Bumbleride Flite is an amazing umbrella
stroller that weighs only 14 lbs, but has travel
system capability. It also has a lot of features
of a full size stroller including large canopy,
roomy seat, deep recline, all-wheel suspension,
adjustable footrest, and easy compact fold.
This luxury stroller retails for around $270 on

7. Lifestyle: Fashionable
If you one of those parents who just wants to make a fashion statement with the stroller,
there are a few very stylish buggies I can recommend. I want to remind you that although
this strollers are luxury and stylish, they not always very practicle. I can compare them to a
high heels that you want to have, but can't get in them very far. They are like piece of art.
Stokke Xplory
The Stokke Xplory is a luxury stroller that looks slick and modern has unique frame design.
The seat is positioned higher on the frame than on your average stroller allowing you to be
closer to your baby and promoting bonding.
This baby will definitely turn heads. It also has great features like large canopy, reversible
roomy seat, adjustable handle bar, and flip-flop friendly brake. It weighs 26.5 lbs. It also
has travel system and pram option. You can purchase it for around $1,099 on Amazon. I
know, it’s not cheap. Read my full review »
Quinny Moodd
The Quinny Moodd is a modern luxury stroller that has a unique frame and seat design that
features reversible seat, adjustable foot rest, telescoping handle bar, double parking brake,
and one-hand recline. It’s on the heavy side weighing 33 lbs.
It has easy fold and one-touch AUTOMATIC unfolding! This is a conversation piece. It has a
travel system and pram options. The Britto addition looks amazing! It was designed by a
very famous designer Romero Britto. It retails for around $699-899 on Amazon. The price
depends on the color and seller.
I Have NO Idea What I Need
Does that sound like you? Ok. Take a deep breath. Stroller shopping is not the end of the
world. If you still not sure what stroller you need, I recommend getting a frame for the
infant car seat. You can use it for the first 6 months while you are still testing strollers and
then buy the one you think will work best for your lifestyle. Just pick a frame that works
with your infant car seat for now. It is the most convenient option for the first 6 months
anyways.
Chicco Keyfit 30 Car Seat
I would recommend getting Chicco Keyfit 30 infant car seat because it's one of the most
popular and safe car seats on the market. It has one of the best reviews on Amazon. My
daughter absolutely loved it! She always fell asleep in the car. You can purchase it for $189
on Amazon.
Chicco KeyFit Caddy Stroller Frame
Chicco KeyFit Caddy Stroller Frame is specially designed to work with Chicco Keyfit 30 car
seat. It features light aluminum frame, compact one-hand fold, large expandable basket, 4position height-adjustable handle, all-wheel suspension, toe-tap locking brakes and a fullfeatured parent tray. It weighs only 11 lbs and costs only $99. You can't beat that!
