The Uppababy Vista V2 is truly a best-in-class stroller. It impresses across the board, from its attractive and well-thought-out design to its easy, smooth maneuvering. Even assembling the stroller is a dream—all you have to do is attach the wheels, which is an intuitive process. Similarly, attaching the rumble seat to this convertible stroller is a breeze, too, and it feels solid and sturdy as a single and double stroller.

We particularly like the Vista V2’s sleek, clean design. The thick, ergonomic handlebar is covered in the brand’s signature full-grain leather detailing, and there’s clear branding on the sturdy aluminum frame. Underneath the reclinable seat is a generous storage bin—it can hold up to 30 pounds, and it was spacious enough for us to fit in two bags—yet it’s high enough that taller parents didn’t kick it while pushing the stroller, which happens with some other strollers. (Taller caregivers will also appreciate the height-adjustable handlebar.) While it takes two hands to fold and you may need to read the instructions closely, you can fold it in just one step once you get the hang of it.

We also like the thick, extendable UPF 50+ canopy, which has a peekaboo slit so you can check on your kiddo during your stroll. We did find that older, taller kids can outgrow the canopy, so you’ll want other sun and rain protection options. But no matter their size, kiddos can be securely fastened thanks to the seat's five-point no-rethread harness. Plus, the bassinet has a perforated mattress pad and vented base for breathability, and we appreciate that the included liner is removable for cleaning. 

Steering the Uppababy Vista V2 is a cinch. It performs well over several terrains, including carpet, gravel, and hard flooring, and navigating it around our obstacle course was enjoyable with its all-wheel suspension. Our only complaint is that it’s a bit tricky to pull the stroller up a flight of stairs due to its size and safety locking mechanism, which sometimes engages when the stroller bumps over a stair. 

The durable frame withstands tons of use, our editors and experts report. (One editor has been using it daily for nearly five years and calls it “an amazing staple in my life.”) The stroller comes with a bassinet and a full-size toddler seat; the rumble seat is sold separately, as is an optional ride-along board for an older sibling. We recognize that $1,000 is a big investment, but ultimately, you’re getting so much for your money. The top-of-the-line stroller makes life easier for busy parents since it’s simple to steer, folds quickly, and looks luxurious—it’s not an eyesore in family vacation pictures. Plus, there’s no need to purchase a separate bassinet attachment, though accessories like a snack tray and cup holder are sold separately.

The Graco Nest2Grow Travel System has a sturdy, spacious stroller at a more accessible price point than the Uppababy Vista V2. Plus, since it’s a travel system, a compatible infant car seat and car seat base are included in the $500 cost. But much like the Vista V2, this stroller has lots of configuration options so it can grow along with your family. The travel system itself can function as a single toddler stroller, a single infant stroller, or a double stroller for a toddler and infant using the included infant car seat. It also converts into a regular double stroller with the purchase of a second stroller seat, giving you over 15 possible configurations.

It’s important to note that the stroller is built like a tank, which makes it a bit tricky to turn, and it’s large when folded (though it’s easy to fold!). However, the hefty construction makes it feel sturdy and stable, and we felt good about pushing our kids around in it because of this. You can also tote around plenty of baby gear in the spacious cargo space—there was room for more even after we added a fully stocked diaper bag. We like the stroller’s features, too: The foot brake engages and releases smoothly, and the faux-leather handlebar adjusts to two different heights to accommodate taller caregivers. 

Assembling the travel system is pretty straightforward, though the car seat didn’t stay in place when we put it at its lowest height. Connecting the car seat to the base is smooth, and there’s an indicator that tells you when it’s in the correct place. Attaching the car seat to the stroller requires you to carefully guide it into place, though detaching it is simple with the push of a button. It’s also effortless to install the car seat base into the car with the LATCH system—however, it’s so secure that detaching takes a good bit of effort, so it may not be the best choice if you plan to move between cars frequently.

The Graco Nest2Grow Travel System is one of the more affordable picks in our roundup of the best travel systems, and it also comes with a removable cup holder for the adult and a removable kids’ snack tray for added value. While it’s not perfect, we think it’s one of the best stroller deals around.

Traveling with kids isn’t a picnic, but with the Bugaboo Butterfly, going through TSA or loading the family into the car is much more manageable. The lightweight stroller is a cinch to fold by pressing two buttons and pushing the frame down—and when it’s folded, you can stand it upright or carry it using the shoulder strap or the handle on the leg rest. Plus, unfolding it is just as intuitive and uses the same buttons.

The best travel strollers fit into an overhead bin and can endure getting tossed around. We easily hoisted the 16-pound Bugaboo Butterfly into our mock overhead bin, and when we pushed it off a table to test its durability, there was no damage. This stroller can also fit a good amount of travel gear—up to 17 pounds—in its cargo space, which has a flexible back wall to help you load everything in. There are plenty of other impressive design features, too: It has an adjustable canopy with a mesh panel, a five-point no-rethread harness, a wrist strap on the handlebar, and an adjustable fold-out footrest.

We also found the stroller very attractive. The fabric comes in black, forest green, or slate blue, and the buckle and wheels feature white accents. And in case of spills, the seat inlay is removable and machine washable, so the stroller will continue to look good as new. This seat inlay is the only part you need to attach during assembly, too (the stroller comes with the canopy and wheels already attached). If you’d like to use the included rain cover, you may need to refer to the manual (we had to), but it’s straightforward once you’ve gotten the hang of it.

Whether you’re in the airport or on a road trip, you’ll likely need to maneuver around various obstacles and over different terrains. Luckily, the Bugaboo Butterfly’s suspension helps it navigate wonderfully over grass and up curbs. Like most strollers, it’s a little bumpy over gravel, but not so much that it would disturb a baby. Taking it up the stairs isn’t difficult, though you’ll want a second pair of hands if you want to take it down the stairs. With its price of $449, we do wish more accessories were included, but ultimately, this stroller is a compact, lightweight, and high-performing option for travel. (You can buy accessories separately, like a cup holder, an organizer, and a wheeled board with a toddler seat.)

Baby Jogger City Tour 2 Double Stroller

Whether you have twins or siblings of different ages, the Baby Jogger City Tour 2 Double Stroller is a top-notch way to wheel your kiddos around. Though it’s a double stroller, it weighs just 23 pounds and is a breeze to maneuver. We took it over hard floors, grass-like turf, and carpet, finding that it glides smoothly over each type of terrain. It also makes quick, sharp turns and fits through a 33-inch doorway. The only downside to its steering is for tall parents and caregivers—one of our editors, who is 5-foot-11, reported that her shins and toes would come close to the foot brake bar when she tried to move it quickly, occasionally bumping into it, though driving slowly was fine.

Even for a large stroller, the City Tour 2’s design is sleek and streamlined. Both seats recline separately all the way to flat, and adjustable calf rests provide a comfortable ride. Each seat has an expandable UPF 50+ canopy with peekaboo windows for visibility and breathability. You can also prop the windows open with elastic straps, which is a unique feature and handy for parents who want to keep an eye on their kiddos. However, the storage bin has a metal divider in the middle, so you can really only fit smaller items. This is fine if you just need to store a small tote or some toys, but it’s not ideal if you want to fit a large diaper bag. 

This stroller has an impressively straightforward assembly: All you need to do is pop in the four wheels and you’re good to go (and likely won’t even need to look at the instructions.) There’s plenty to love about this stroller, but we wish accessories like a bumper bar were included, though you can purchase one separately. A glider board for an older sibling is sold separately, too. On the other hand, this double stroller is more budget-friendly than many of our favorite single strollers, so it’s still a great deal even if you opt for the accessories.

Whether you’re looking to squeeze some exercise into your busy schedule or simply want a lightweight, maneuverable option for your walks, a jogging stroller is a worthwhile purchase. The Guava Roam Crossover Stroller knocked it out of the park in our test of the best jogging strollers, wowing us with its sleek look, front wheel lock button, and smooth driving. Not to mention, there’s no assembly required—after you unbox it, just cut off the zip ties and pop it open, and it’s up and running.

When it comes to design, the Roam is both attractive and practical. An editor compared the feel and look of the black fabric to a luxury car, and the squishy foam on the seat and shoulder straps on the five-point no-rethread harness makes a comfortable ride for your kiddo. One of our favorite features is the front wheel lock button located on the handlebar—none of the other jogging strollers we’ve tested have had this feature, and it really comes in handy while you’re running and need to come to a quick halt. We also love its reclinable seat, extendable canopy with a peekaboo window, and roomy cargo space. There’s also a small pocket for the caregiver to stow their phone or keys. 

A high-quality jogging stroller is easy to steer and turn, and the Guava Roam is a great example. Unlike many jogging strollers, it has airless tires to prevent flats and punctures. And though some airless tires can be heavy, we found that this stroller is lightweight and user-friendly to run with, especially with the swing-arm suspension, which helps it navigate many terrains—even cobblestone. It is more manageable to run with the front wheel unlocked, but thanks to that handy front wheel lock handlebar button, switching between modes when moving through a crowd is a breeze.

Since the Roam is $650, we do wish that it came with more accessories, like a snack tray and cup holder. However, you can upgrade your purchase with the Roam Everyday Essentials Set, which includes several accessories.

Travel systems can be tricky, which is why the Graco Modes Pramette Travel System stands out. It comes with a stroller, infant car seat, car seat base, and toddler seat, which converts into an infant bassinet (what the brand calls a “pramette”), giving it an impressive number of configurations. At every turn, attaching and detaching the different parts is straightforward: Attaching the infant car seat to the stroller is simple once you’ve located the slots, and detaching is doable with one hand. Clicking the seat into the base and removing it are similarly easy, and installing the car seat base via the LATCH system is user-friendly even if you’re new to travel systems (you’ll just need to use some force), though you can also install it using the car’s seat belt.

While it’s not the sleekest option, the Graco Modes Pramette Travel System has plenty of great design features. It has an intuitive one-step fold, an adjustable canopy with a peekaboo window, a roomy cargo space (we could fit a diaper bag and a tote bag into it), and a reclinable seat. The material on both the toddler seat and infant car seat doesn’t feel as soft as we’d like, but this may not be a big deal depending on your kid’s sensory preferences.

When we took it over several terrains in our obstacle course, this stroller performed well—even over curbs—and it turns corners like a dream, even when it’s loaded up. For $330, this travel system gives you so much more than just a stroller, and it makes transferring your little one in and out of the car less of a hassle.

Car seat and stroller travel systems are super convenient for parents of infants. However, since they typically only include an infant car seat, they don’t have the longest shelf life, so some families may not want to invest in an expensive, tricked-out model. If you’re looking for a budget-friendly pick, we recommend the Baby Trend Expedition Travel System, which performed well in our tests of the best travel systems and the best jogging strollers thanks to its one locking front swivel wheel. 

The initial assembly is pretty straightforward—just pop in the two back wheels—though attaching the snack tray takes some elbow grease. Attaching the car seat (it clicks in over the snack tray) is more complicated due to confusing instructions and tabs that were difficult to unlock, so it may take two sets of hands to accomplish. Thankfully, it’s much easier to install the car seat base with the LATCH system or the car’s seat belt, and the infant car seat slides right into the base with an audible click. The same button attaches the seat to the stroller and the base, so it’s pretty user-friendly.

The Baby Trend Expedition may not be the most aesthetically pleasing option, but it does have a one-step, standing fold, and two carrying handles for hoisting it into the trunk. However, its overall design is basic and doesn’t offer as much as the Graco Modes Pramette Travel System. We didn’t like the rubber handle’s tire-like feeling, and the canopy kept falling forward. Though we appreciate that it has cup holders and a phone compartment, they were a little too small to fit a standard-sized water bottle and an iPhone 12, respectively. Like the Graco Modes Pramette, the seat material didn’t feel the nicest. We do like that the toddler seat is reclinable, though.

A major factor to consider when you’re shopping for a car seat and stroller combo (or a jogging stroller) is smooth steering, and the Baby Trend Expedition delivers in that department: It’s great on different terrains, turns well, and has a handy spot to put your foot on when you need to get it up a curb. We also like that you can use it with the front wheel locked or unlocked. Though it could benefit from upgraded features, $250 is a great price for a stroller that’s nice to drive—especially since it’s a jogging stroller and travel system in one.

In the world of umbrella strollers, which are typically pretty bare bones, the Uppababy G-Luxe is a sleek, sturdy, and surprisingly affordable option. Its compact frame and all-wheel suspension help it navigate crowds at the zoo or the airport, and a comfortable padded shoulder strap makes toting it around a breeze. Conveniently, it stands upright when folded, though learning how to use the folding triggers takes some practice.

Even with its simple build, this umbrella stroller has plenty of features, including a cup holder that’s large enough to fit a travel mug, an adjustable footrest, and an extendable UPF 50+ canopy. The brakes are easy to operate, too: There’s one green pedal to engage them and one red pedal to lock them. We also appreciate the seat’s one-handed recline and ample cushioning, but we do wish the handlebar’s height were adjustable.

The G-Luxe maneuvers well and turns on a dime, and it was only a bit bumpy over the gravel in our lab test, which is reasonable for a compact stroller. The $200 price point is worth it for a sturdy, tricked-out umbrella stroller, and it’s one of the most affordable picks on our list.

Double strollers can be expensive, so we appreciate that the Graco DuoGlider rings up at under $200. It also stands out with its numerous configuration options: It comes with two forward-facing toddler seats, but you can connect up to two Graco Click Connect infant car seats (sold separately) to accommodate a newborn and their older sibling. Assembly took us under 10 minutes since all you have to do is pop in the wheels and attach the canopies and included snack trays (bonus!). 

The DuoGlider is basic, but there’s ample room for a large diaper bag in the storage bin, and the ergonomic foam handle has a cup holder and a covered compartment for the caregiver’s keys or other small valuables. While we like that it comes with two snack trays with two cup holders each, the cup holders were shallow and bottles almost fell out onto our lab floor. The toddler seats provide a comfy ride for the kids: They recline to multiple positions and have roomy adjustable canopies, convenient footrests, and adjustable harnesses. 

This double stroller drives smoothly but struggles to make sharp turns when it’s loaded up, much like the Graco Nest2Grow Travel System’s stroller, and it takes some muscle to get it up a curb. However, we do like that it fits through the 33-inch doorway of our lab and that folding it is a breeze, despite lackluster instruction illustrations. The stroller also stands when folded if you secure a latch. Despite its small flaws, the Graco DuoGlider has an impressive value—at $190, it’s priced less than most of our favorite single strollers.

Stroller wagons are a clever way to tote around several kids and lots of gear. The Keenz 7S 2.0 shone during our test with its user-friendly steering, many included accessories, and all of its storage space. It can hold two children up to 55 pounds in addition to snacks, toys, a phone, and more in the many pockets. (Note that the wagon is not safe for kiddos under 12 months old.) We love that it comes with all of the accessories you’ll need, including a storage cover, detachable storage bags, detachable blackout panels (great for private diaper changes!), and a canopy to protect the kids and stroller alike from the elements. 

The stroller wagon’s all-terrain wheels and spring suspension helps it drive smoothly on several terrains, like carpet, tile, grass, and concrete, though the wheels do slide down in the sand. Despite its hefty size, it turns easily and sharply when needed. Unlike most adjustable handlebars, which only have a few settings, this handlebar adjusts to an impressive 10 heights and positions for a tailored fit. (You can also use it to push or pull the wagon.) The stroller maneuvers so well, in fact, that we could push it through a doorway one-handed. 

We don’t like that the Keenz 7S 2.0 comes without assembly instructions—it took us 30 minutes to figure out how to put all of the pieces together. While this is annoying, you will only need to assemble it once, so it’s not a huge downside. And collapsing is much better: Just unload the cargo area, then pull the wagon up by the middle, and you’ll have a compact folded stroller to stow away. 

Though $520 may sound like a lot for something that’s not your everyday stroller, you’ll get a lot of use out of this stroller wagon, particularly during the warmer months when your family is spending more time outside. It has space to stash snacks, drinks, and sports equipment (and it’s a dream to steer), so there’s no need to lug a bunch of heavy tote bags of gear with you, too. You can also rest easy knowing it’s a safe choice for your kiddos since it’s certified by the Juvenile Products Manufacturers Association (JPMA), which means it meets the highest safety standards. 

Plus, the brand offers a 15% “everyday hero” discount on their stroller wagons to active and veteran service members, teachers, first responders, and healthcare professionals. Additionally, families with children with sensory disorders, cerebral palsy, autism, and other conditions can receive a 25% off discount—simply fill out the required medical form.

Best Compact

Contours Itsy Lightweight Stroller

View On Amazon View On Walmart View On Bed Bath & Beyond

A small, lightweight stroller is a must-have when you’re traveling (and it lets you fit more suitcases in the trunk). At just 12.3 pounds, the Contours Itsy is one of the lightest travel strollers we’ve tested, which comes in handy when you’re packing up the car or heaving your stroller into an overhead compartment on a plane. Plus, it has an impressively small footprint (it’s just 10.5 x 11 x 19.5 inches when folded), so it doesn’t take up much space, either. And thanks to its intuitive one-handed, standing fold, you won’t need to scramble to fold it at the gate.

While its size and weight give it points when it comes to portability, we wish it had a shoulder strap or another convenient carrying method. It does come with a heavy-duty bumper bar, though—when we pushed it off a table in our durability test, neither the bumper bar nor other accessories fell off. Impressively, the bumper bar is the only thing you need to attach to set up the stroller since the Contours Itsy comes assembled right out of the box.

One tradeoff for this stroller’s compact size is that storage space is super limited: The cargo bin can barely fit a diaper bag. And, the finicky brake requires a good stomp to get it to engage. On the other hand, it has an adjustable UPF 50+ canopy with a peekaboo window and a nicely padded crotch strap on the five-point harness. Additionally, the $170 stroller is one of the most affordable on our list, making it a great budget pick, too.

When you have a lively toddler bouncing around, a small but sturdy stroller is a necessity. We tested the babyGap/Delta Children Classic Stroller in the lab and with one of our editor’s toddlers, and it’s proven that it can withstand spills, accidents, and everything else that comes with an energetic little one. Though it may not look that strong at first glance, it has a durable steel frame and puncture-proof tires that helped it traverse various terrains in our test, and it’s even a pleasure to take over curves and up a flight of stairs.

Time is of the essence when you’re looking after kiddos, so we appreciate that this stroller is so intuitive to put together (assembly took us under four minutes!), and it also has a quick fold. We do wish that the stroller stood up when folded—especially if you opt for one of the lighter fabric colors—and we didn’t like the finicky lock. And though it’s lightweight at 14.5 pounds, there is no carrying strap, which makes toting it around somewhat of a hassle.

Beyond its stylish faux leather handles, padded seat, and canopy, we’re impressed that this stroller’s fabric is designed entirely from recycled plastic bottles. No matter which fabric colorway you choose, the stroller comes with a matching caddy for the caregivers, though we found that the stroller’s own cargo space was plenty large for our necessities. Still, that’s an added bonus to an already budget-friendly pick.

For active families with two little kiddos, a double jogging stroller is a wise purchase. The BOB Gear Revolution Flex 3.0 Duallie scored just as highly in our test as our very favorite jogging stroller, the Guava Roam, and we love it for its straightforward assembly, smooth maneuverability (even with one hand), and its roomy, protective canopies. When you unbox this stroller, all you have to do is pop in the wheels, though managing its overall weight and large size may slow down the process a touch.

The thoughtfully designed double jogging stroller features two UPF 50+ canopies that adjust separately for each kid and can be expanded enough to cover their little legs. The seats also recline separately, though they both have secure five-point no-rethread harnesses. We also like that the soft, grippable handlebar can be adjusted for different caregivers’ heights. Folding, however, is not intuitive—we had to refer to the manual to figure it out—and can’t be done one-handed. 

While many double strollers are bulky and unwieldy, this one certainly isn’t. With its suspension and air-filled tires, the BOB Gear Revolution Flex 3.0 Duallie navigates many terrains with ease, even when you’re holding it with one hand while jogging. As with any large stroller, turning will require some elbow grease, but it’s not difficult. While $800 is an investment, this is a high-quality, durable piece of equipment if you’re in the market for a double jogging stroller. And, if you break it down, you’re paying $400 per seat, which is more affordable than our top single jogging stroller. (Plus, you get double the workout!)

Gear up for all kinds of fun adventures with the rugged Keenz XC, which maneuvers smoothly on a variety of surfaces (even sand, which the Keenz 7S 2.0 struggles to navigate.) We were even able to push it with one hand while holding a drink in the other, so parents can stay hydrated during the journey. The wagon’s impressive 216-pound weight limit means that it can fit more than just two kids (aged 6 months and up, with a maximum of 55 pounds each)—a spacious center console and several storage compartments allow you to tote snacks, beach gear, toys, and more. There’s even a cooler pouch on the outside to keep your drinks cold.

A large canopy covers the whole wagon, rather than separate canopies for each seat. It provides UV protection to shield your little ones from the sun and has blackout panels for privacy and additional sun protection. Each seat is reclinable, removable, and has a five-point safety belt, too. Assembly is pretty much a breeze—you’ll just need to attach the wheels, seats, and storage compartments, though we recommend checking the directions to make sure everything is attached in the right place. Similarly, folding the stroller wagon is simple with the press of two buttons, though you need to push the canopy poles down first.

This tricked-out stroller wagon is definitely a luxury item, as evidenced by the $750 price tag, but it’s worth the splurge: From smooth steering to its generous storage capacity, you’ll love having it for your next family adventure. Plus, Keenz offers a 15% discount for active and veteran service members, teachers, first responders, and healthcare workers, as well as a 25% discount for families with kids who have cerebral palsy, autism, and other conditions.

Traveling with two? The Uppababy G-Link V2 has you covered. The side-by-side umbrella stroller is surprisingly compact for a double stroller, since it boasts four wheels instead of six. Plus, it drives and turns as well as a single stroller, and it’s even priced competitively with some of the best single strollers.

Whether you’re stowing it in the trunk or checking it at the gate, a quick fold comes in handy while traveling. To fold the G-Link, you just pull up on a loop between the handles, and you’re good to go. We do wish it were smaller when folded, though it already has a compact, narrow frame to begin with.

Umbrella strollers tend to be more basic, but this one has plenty of features that we love, like sturdy canopies with extendable UPF 50+ shades, padded seats that can recline to multiple positions, and an adult cup holder. The handles are comfortable to grip and the brake engages easily, though it doesn’t have a shoulder strap for portability. Still, it’s a sleek and maneuverable option that will help make traveling with multiples a little easier.

Best Bassinet Stroller

Bugaboo Fox 5

View On Amazon View On Nordstrom View On Potterybarnkids.com

Our experts agree that babies under 6 months old (or when they can consistently keep their heads up) should not sit up in strollers, so what should parents of infants do on the go? There’s always the option of buying an infant car seat that’s compatible with your stroller, but for a more seamless experience, a bassinet stroller like the Bugaboo Fox 5 is the way to go. This stroller comes with a bassinet attachment with the fabric already assembled, so there’s no extra setup. And if you’d prefer the compatible car seat option, this stroller comes with adapters for Bugaboo’s Turtle by Nuna car seats.

Removing the bassinet and replacing it with the seat is not a simple task—it took two people during our lab test—but you’ll only need to do this once unless you use it with another baby down the line. (And thanks to the solid construction, you likely can.) Since you’ll probably be looking at this stroller for years to come, we love that the brand offers over 10 colorways to choose from, including neutrals and fun hues.

We also like the adjustable handlebar (made from vegan leather) and the reclining seat, which help give the caregiver and kiddo alike the comfiest ride. Plus, the canopy and footrest are both extendable, so the stroller can grow along with your little one. The fabric is also made from sustainable, bio-based material rather than fossil fuels, so you can feel good about your environmental impact, too.

Folding this stroller isn’t as easy as we’d hoped: It takes two hands to push the buttons on the handlebar, then you have to pull it all the way up and push it all the way down (the latter two steps are doable with one hand). It’s not difficult once you get the hang of it, but we would appreciate a true one-handed fold for the price.

Then again, the Bugaboo Fox 5 drives like a dream. It earned one of the most effusive maneuverability ratings from our editors, who found that it drives “gorgeously.” With the handy pedal by the front left wheel, you can engage the brakes, and we were able to wheel it around our office building with just one hand—even through doorways and around turns. Overall, it moves “smooth as butter,” except when we took it over sand, which you probably won’t be doing with an everyday stroller.

At just under $1300, the Bugaboo Fox 5 is one of the priciest picks on our list, but it covers all the basics with simplicity and precision, as one editor noted. It also comes with the bassinet attachment, and with the included toddler seat, it’ll last well into their preschool years.

If you think you may want to expand your family down the road, a single to double (or “convertible”) stroller is an economic and convenient choice. Convertible strollers operate as both single and double strollers, and in the case of the Evenflo Pivot Xpand Modular System, it can accommodate an infant and a toddler, two infants, or two toddlers—there are all kinds of configurations to play with. (An infant car seat and second toddler seat are sold separately.)

To assemble this stroller, we barely had to glance at the instructions since all pieces click into place intuitively. While it does have canopies with convenient peekaboo windows, the canopies don’t zip out for more coverage. A wide padded seat, which can be placed facing outwards or the parent, and a five-point harness keep your kiddo safe and secure, and an adjustable footrest keeps them comfy during the ride, too. Plus, there is a conveniently located cup holder for the caregiver.

The Pivot Xpand does feel a bit more wobbly than pricier options, but it’s smooth to push. Editors compare it to an average sedan rather than a luxury vehicle, and at $320, we agree—it’s a user-friendly stroller with quirks that are outweighed by its budget-friendly price.

Best Stroller for Twins

When you’re toting rambunctious twins tots around, you’ll need a double stroller designed to fit two kiddos of the same size, like the Delta Jeep Destination Ultralight Side x Side. It comes nearly ready to use—you only need to pop on the wheels and bumper bar, which took us just four minutes. It stands out with its smooth steering, as proven in our lab test, where it gracefully navigated around cones and corners in our obstacle course. It’s also not hard to take up and down a flight of stairs, as long as the front wheels are unlocked, and it doesn’t take too much effort to engage the parking brake. While it’s a bit wider than some of the other double strollers we tested, like the Uppababy G-Link V2, it still fits through a 33-inch doorway.

Whether you’re folding or unfolding this stroller, it’s a seamless process, and the carrying strap makes it portable, though its 28-pound weight is rather hefty. This Jeep stroller’s design is a bit of a mixed bag: we like its reclinable seats that can hold up to 40 pounds, the adjustable calf rests, and the extendable UPF canopies, though we wish the peekaboo windows on the canopy were made from breathable mesh rather than plastic. We also found that the strap on one seat’s reclining mechanism was threaded incorrectly; this is quite inconvenient, but it’s a problem that could be fixed by contacting the manufacturer. 

Ultimately, this is a reasonably priced double stroller that’s impressively easy to steer and fold. Plus, it allows twins to ride equitably side by side, and as one editor who’s an aunt to identical twins notes, that’s a game changer—there’s no squabbling about who gets to sit in front.

Best Luxury

Nuna Mixx Next Stroller

View On Nordstrom View On Potterybarnkids.com

Nuna is well known for its luxurious looking baby gear, and their Mixx Next stroller is no exception. With its sleek frame and many color options, it’s a popular choice among parents. You can also use it in several ways: The seat can be placed facing forward or facing the parent, and if you have an infant, the stroller is also compatible with the brand’s Pipa series infant car seats or Mixx bassinet.

During our lab and home tests, our editors were incredibly impressed by how smoothly this lightweight stroller drives. The suspension and traction from its rubber wheels help this stroller drive well over many surfaces, including gravel, grass, and concrete, and it turns corners and maneuvers in and out of tight spots with ease. It also stays completely still after you engage the brake, which is helpful for parents’ peace of mind.

The Nuna Mixx Next is our best luxury pick for a reason: It looks and feels truly high-end. The seat fabric is soft and cozy for the baby, and the mesh back allows for airflow. The height-adjustable handlebar is wrapped in attractive brown faux leather, as is the included bumper bar. We particularly love that the water-repellent UPF 50+ canopy is extendable and has a shade that flips out for extra protection. Plus, the secure magnetic buckle on the five-point harness keeps your baby secure in the reclinable seat. Our biggest complaint is that the cargo area is narrower than we’d like, though it is relatively tall. We also wish that the stroller came with a cup holder (you have to purchase one separately.)

We tested this stroller as a part of one of the brand’s travel systems, which consisted of the Nuna Mixx Next stroller and the Pipa Lite RX car seat, and we found that attaching the car seat to the stroller is effortless, as is attaching the car seat to the base. (Installing the base in the car is trickier, though that’s not a concern if you’re just buying the stroller.)

The Nuna Mixx Next is a gorgeous, deluxe stroller to wheel around—if you can fit it into your budget, it’s a more than worthwhile pick.
