The other day we received an email from one of our readers expressing how confusing shopping for a stroller can be. With so many brands to choose from and new models coming out every year, it’s intimidating simply picking a place to start. Today we’re excited to be sharing just a few of the best-rated strollers on the market!
To get started, be sure to consider several things: 1. Read reviews – people who have already used this product can often be one of your best resources. 2. Consider your lifestyle – do you need a stroller that travels easily? Will you be taking your stroller on trails and other rougher terrain? 3. This will be a must-have accessory for the next couple of years so make sure you pick one that fits not only your lifestyle but your personal style as well.
Bugaboo – referred to by one of my girlfriends as the ‘Cadillac of Strollers’ – is a favorite of style-savvy mamas and celebs alike.
The ‘Chamelion’ is the fully-loaded model for parents who want it all. Completely modular, options include a pram-style bassinet for infants, a rear facing seat for babies, and front facing option for toddlers. Also – car seat adaptable. Customize fabrics, colors, and accessories (including iPhone holders) even the handlebar height can be adjusted. Perfect for multi-terrain as well, keep small swivel wheels in front for maximum maneuverability in the city; simply reverse the handlebars and tackle rough terrain with the larger wheels forward. Also from Bugaboo – the ‘Bee’, complete and compact for parents who live on the fly. Extremely maneuverable and nimble, the Bee folds completely to fit in any closet or trunk!
BOB Revolution – one of the absolute best 
on the market right now when it comes to jogging strollers. It maneuvers easily enough for the city and has tired and suspension that allows you to take it to the trails or the beach. Lightweight, also fold easily. Great for families who are in and out of the car a lot! Plenty of storage space underneath – plus infant seat adaptable.
Another standout in the jogging category is the Bumbleride Indie. Weighing in at only 20 lbs, the Indie is agile enough to be an urban jogger and still fully capable in rough terrain. Additional pluses: adjustable handlebar, removable cup holder, and large storage basket.
Lastly in our little trio of strollers today – a fabulously reviewed vehicle for two! Whether you are doubly blessed with twins or have an infant and toddler in your brood, the Kolcraft Contours Options Tandem gets high marks. Seats can be adjusted to face front, back, or face one another and fully recline. Works with most of the infant seats on the market and has a good amount of storage underneath.
If you have questions about other baby gear or even specific stroller models, please be sure to send them our way and we will try and answer all of them!
