"A stroller is likely one of the biggest baby gear investments you’ll make as a parent, and for good reason! A stroller that works for your lifestyle makes it so much easier to get out of the house with your baby and makes going out more enjoyable for everyone. The good news is that with so many options out there, there’s sure to be one that checks all the boxes for your family.
With a lot riding (pun intended) on the line, it’s no wonder many parents spend a lot of time researching strollers. Whether you’re looking for a lightweight stroller that travels well or a convertible stroller that can grow with your family, we’re here to help! We’ve gathered up a list of the best strollers for a variety of needs and budgets in order to help you narrow down your choices.

Best Overall Stroller
Baby Jogger City Select 2 Single-to-Double Modular Stroller
According to Michelle Pratt, founder of Safe in the Seat, “This full-sized stroller is a must-have for any growing family. With over 20 seating configurations for one or two kids, as well as a rider board accessory, the City Select 2 can accommodate almost any family’s needs. This stroller can also be used as a travel system with a wide variety of infant car seats when combined with the proper adapters.
We love that, [when converted to a double stroller], both of the City Select 2’s stroller seats have a 45-pound weight limit, giving parents the flexibility to keep their younger child closer in the upper seat while older toddlers can see the world from the front. Additionally, the City Select 2 has lots of storage and robust wheels that can handle any terrain: It can truly be your family’s one-and-done stroller purchase!”
Best Car Seat Combo Strollers
Doona All-in-One Infant Car Seat & Stroller
The Doona may be the most flexible car seat and stroller combo on the market. It’s incredibly popular in cities because it transfers from a portable car seat to a stroller instantly. However, because it’s essentially a car seat and stroller in one, it does come at a hefty price point (over $500), and it can only be used for infants up to 35 pounds. Despite those limitations, moms who’ve used the Doona swear by it for its convenience and adaptability. Want to learn more? Read our full review of the Doona here!
BRITAX Willow Grove SC Travel System
If you are on-the-go a lot, consider a car seat and stroller travel system like this one. The Britax’s Click-and-Go system works together seamlessly to take your baby from the car to the store or the park. The best part? The stroller is designed to work for babies from birth to 55 pounds, meaning it will last well into toddlerhood.
Best Lightweight Strollers
Britax Juniper Compact Stroller
A new product to hit the baby gear space in 2025, this lightweight and compact stroller is great for travel—and the price is right at $199. Weighing under 15 pounds, this option can be folded with one hand and is easy to carry while on-the-go.
Ergobaby Metro 3 Compact Stroller
Another new stroller on the market this year, this compact stroller from editor and reader-favorite baby brand Ergobaby is designed for newborns up to kiddos 4 years old. This option includes special features like one-handed strolling and folding, a near-flat recline for instant rest times, and compatibility with popular car seat brands including Cybex, Nuna, Maxi-Cosi, Britax, and more.
Bugaboo Butterfly Seat Stroller
Weighing about 16 pounds, the Bugaboo Butterfly Seat stroller is lightweight, compact, easy to maneuver, and features a “one-second fold.” This stroller is great for everyday use because of its large and adjustable seat, spacious and accessible under-seat basket, and generous canopy. Plus, it’s awesome for travel, too, because it easily folds and unfolds without extra adjustments, includes an integrated strap for hands-free carrying, and seamlessly fits in plane overhead bins and compact car trunks.
Best Budget-Friendly Stroller
Chicco Bravo Primo 3-in-1 Travel System
The Chicco Bravo offers many of the same features as more expensive strollers at a lower price point. It has a sleek design, complete with a large storage basket and a removable UPF-rated canopy. The toddler seat comes off, turning the stroller into a lightweight car seat carrier.
Best Double Stroller
Baby Jogger City Mini GT2 Double Stroller
The City Mini GT2 Double Stroller makes it easy to get a baby and toddler around. It’s compatible with an infant seat and features a one-step in-seat fold design. The best part? This double stroller fits through a standard doorway and is surprisingly really easy to push around. It also comes with all-wheel suspension, forever tires, and UV 50+ canopies.
Best Umbrella Stroller
Summer Infant 3Dcore Convenience Stroller
Affordably priced at under $70, the Summer Infant 3Dcore Convenience Stroller is a great option for travel or every day. Not only is it lightweight and has a compact fold, but it also has a large storage basket, a durable steel frame, and provides a safe and comfortable ride for your little one.
Best Convertible Strollers
UPPAbaby VISTA V3 Stroller
If you’re looking for a stroller that truly grows with your family, look no further than the UPPAbaby Vista. Designed to transport up to three children, the Vista can be configured into countless combinations, fitting the needs of kids from infancy to toddlerhood. While it does come with a higher price tag, it features premiums such as full-grain leather details and includes an infant bassinet.
Mockingbird Single-to-Double Stroller 2.0
The Mockingbird features amazing versatility with 19+ configurations and can fit up to three kids with added accessories. The best part? It’s very similar to the UPPAbaby Vista but is less than half the price. If you do go with the Mockingbird, you’ll likely want to purchase the infant bassinet separately (the Vista comes with it), so make note of that added cost. Read our full review of the Mockingbird stroller here!

Bugaboo Donkey 5 Stroller
A great option for moms of twins or parents planning to convert a single stroller to a double for multiple kids in the future, the Bugaboo Donkey 5 is pricey but offers some really desirable features. As a single stroller, the Donkey is compatible with popular car seats and includes a helpful side caddy. Once you convert it to a double, the Donkey can be configured with two bassinets or a bassinet and a toddler seat side-by-side. The best part? It still seamlessly fits through doorways despite its double-wide design!
Best Travel Strollers
Nuna TRVL Lightweight Stroller
Designed with travel in mind, the Nuna TRVL stroller is compact and self-folds with the touch of a button. It has multi-position recline capabilities and a UPF 50+ canopy, ensuring your little one is ready for whatever the day brings. Carry it easily through the airport in the included travel bag. The Nuna TRVL is a bit more expensive than other lightweight strollers but potentially worth the investment if your family travels a lot.
Stokke YOYO3 Stroller with Newborn Pack
Another great travel stroller option, the Stokke YOYO3 is ultra-compact and folds and unfolds in a flash. It can also be carried on your shoulder with its included strap. This is a great option for parents traveling with newborns, as it allows your baby to lay comfortably flat. Once your kiddo is older, the same stroller frame can be converted into a toddler travel stroller with the purchase of this $60 converter pack.
Best Jogging Strollers
BOB Gear Revolution Flex 3.0
The BOB Gear Revolution Flex 3.0 jogging stroller is loved by parents and running experts alike. Its suspension system and air-filled tires work for long distances and for all terrains. The handlebar is adjustable, and the front wheel locks for stability. It also features a “peek & chat” window on top so you can check on your child without stopping your run.
Thule Urban Glide 2 Stroller
Sleek and lightweight, this jogging stroller can be pushed and navigated with one hand while providing your little one with a smooth and comfortable ride. It includes an infant car seat adapter, so it can be used for kids from infancy up to preschool age (75 pounds). The seat can recline with one touch, and the entire stroller can be easily collapsed to take on-the-go. It also includes a protective canopy with SPF 50+, a peekaboo window, a large storage compartment, reflective rims, and an ergonomic, adjustable handlebar for maximum comfort.
Best Stroller Wagon
BOB Gear Renegade Foldable Stroller Wagon
Wagons are the latest stroller trend and are great for carting around kids and all of their things! Likely more suitable for toddlers, the BOB Gear Renegade Foldable Stroller Wagon has a spacious interior to fit up to three kids. It folds and unfolds easily with just one hand, features a SteerSteady handle for easy maneuvering, and includes a child snack tray, two adult cup holders, and a side mesh pocket for storage.
