Questions people ask
What type of stroller do I need?
A full-size stroller like the Vista V3 is best as a daily stroller. Add a lightweight travel stroller for flights and trips, and a jogging stroller only if you run with your baby.
When can a baby use a jogging stroller?
Most makers say to wait until about 8 months, when the baby has full head and neck control, and always check the manual.
Do I need a travel system?
A travel system pairs a stroller with an infant car seat that clicks in. It saves money for newborns, but you can also buy the car seat and adapters separately.
What is the best stroller for a newborn?
Choose one that reclines flat or has a bassinet. The Vista V3 with its bassinet and the Graco Modes Pramette both work from birth, and the Minu V3 reclines flat.
How important is the fold?
Very. A one-hand fold that stands on its own makes a big difference when you are carrying a baby, so test it in a store if you can.
Is Black Friday a good time to buy a stroller?
Yes. UPPAbaby, Baby Jogger and Graco often run 15 to 30% off promotions, and sometimes include free accessories.
Should I buy last year's model on sale?
Yes. Strollers change slowly, and a previous model at a discount is usually the same stroller with different colors.
Are strollers safe to buy used?
Be careful. Check for recalls, make sure the brakes, harness and fold lock work, and never use a stroller with missing parts or damaged frames.
How did we pick these strollers?
We compared the best-selling and highest-rated strollers on Amazon, read expert reviews and the most common complaints, then kept one pick for each kind of buyer. Read our full method.
