best strollers

When it comes to strollers, sometimes the basics just don’t cut it for our busy lives. Whether you’re crushing 10Ks before breakfast, multitasking with two under two, or racking up frequent flyer miles, there’s a perfect stroller out there for your family. Read below for our favorite strollers that’ll turn your daily grind into a smooth ride.

 

Stroller For Travel

BABYZEN YOYO2, $493

Lightweight and compact, this travel stroller fits through narrow seating aisles (think planes and trains) and folds up small enough to store in most overhead bins. Bonus points for the array of trendy colors to choose from. 

NUNA TRVL, $450

Nuna nails it again with this sleek, no-nonsense stroller that’ll make you wonder how you ever lived without it. It’s compatible with Nuna PIPA car seats and self-folding, because who has two free hands these days?

GB Pockit+ All Terrain, $220

Don’t let the size fool you. At just 10.6 lbs, this ultra-light and affordable model comes with all the necessary bells and whistles needed for a day (or week) away from home.

 

Stroller For Multiples

UPPABABY G-Link V2, $349

Roomy enough to fit two kiddos side-by-side, but narrow enough to fit through standard doorways, the G-Link V2 helps families get around without getting stuck everywhere they go.

BABY JOGGER City Mini GT2 All-Terrain Double Stroller, $719

Compatible with Britax, Cybex, Graco, and Maxi Cosi infant car seats, and customizable with four different modes, this stroller supports families from infancy through toddlerhood and beyond. 

CHICCO BravoFor2 LE, $350 

Not feeling the whole side-by-side look? Chicco’s standing/sitting stroller is heralded for its versatility, one-handed fold, and large storage basket. 

 

Stroller For Jogging

THULE Urban Glide 3, $650

With 16-inch wheels, suspension, and a hand brake that gives you total control, this model makes your run feel like you’re gliding on air. It’s no wonder it’s consistently a favorite among parents who run. (Available in a double version, here.) 

BOB GEAR Wayfinder, $436

Not only is the Wayfinder a smooth ride for moms, but it’s also known to be extra comfortable for kids. With its padded back support and clear view, your toddler might just encourage you to add an extra mile or two.  

GUAVA FAMILY Roam Crossover, $549

Pack those sneakers—your vacation just got a fitness upgrade! The Roam Crossover is more compact than its competitors when folded, which means it’s perfect for storing in small spaces or for travel.
