Best Strollers: 2025 Reviews & Guide

If you travel frequently, bulky gear is your enemy. The Gb Pockit+ solves this by being incredibly compact and lightweight.

Weighing just 12.3 pounds, this stroller folds down to the size of a handbag (13.4 x 7.9 x 16.5 inches). You can easily stow it in an airplane overhead bin or under a train seat. Despite its small size, it feels sturdy enough for city streets.

We love the maneuverability. The swivel front wheels make tight turns easy, and you can lock them for rougher surfaces. You can steer it with one hand while holding a coffee or a toddler.

The seat reclines for naps, which is a rare feature in ultra-compact strollers. It holds children up to 55 pounds and, with separate adapters, works with certain infant car seats.

If you are an active parent, the BOB Revolution Flex 3.0 is the gold standard. It is built like a tank and glides effortlessly over roots, rocks, and pavement.

The secret is the suspension system and air-filled tires, similar to a mountain bike. Your child gets a smooth ride even when you are hitting the trails.

The front wheel swivels for walking but locks straight for running stability. We appreciate the adjustable handlebar, which offers nine positions. This is crucial for runners to maintain good form regardless of height.

The seat allows your child to sit fully upright to see the world or recline almost flat for a nap. Just remember to keep a tire pump handy.

Tall parents often struggle with kicking the rear axle of strollers. The BOB Revolution Flex 3.0 Duallie solves this with its adjustable handlebar and clever frame design. It allows for a long stride, making it perfect for tall runners.

This is a side-by-side double jogger. It handles two kids with ease, thanks to the same air-filled tires and suspension found on the single model. It is surprisingly easy to turn, though it is wide.

The independent seats mean one child can nap while the other looks around. It is a beast of a stroller, so ensure it fits in your trunk before buying.

If you only have one child, stick to the single Revolution Flex 3.0.

If you want heads to turn when you walk down the street, the Hot Mom Baby Carriage delivers. It features a unique egg-shaped seat and PU leather fabric that looks high-end and wipes clean easily.

The seat sits high on a telescopic pole (34.25 inches), keeping your baby closer to you and away from car exhaust. It is reversible, so your little one can face you or look out at the world.

It comes with a matching bassinet for newborns. The large canopy looks striking and provides decent shade. While it looks luxurious, keep in mind that the mechanical performance is decent but not quite on par with performance-focused brands like BOB or UPPAbaby.

The Clutch from Delta Children is built for parents who need to move fast. It is unbelievably light at just 11.7 pounds but manages to support a child up to 50 pounds.

The magic is in the fold. It collapses down to the size of a grocery bag, making it easy to shove into a packed trunk or an overhead bin.

It meets all basic safety standards with a five-point harness and reflective pads. The storage basket is decent for the size, but do not expect to fit a large diaper bag underneath.

The wheels are small, best suited for smooth airport floors or paved sidewalks. It does not recline, so it is better for older babies who can sit up and hold their heads up.

The Uppababy Vista V2 is the ultimate “grow with you” stroller. It starts as a single but can expand to carry up to three children with adapters and a ride-along board.

It comes with a bassinet that is safe for overnight sleeping, which is a huge bonus for travel. The main toddler seat is reversible and features a no-rethread harness for easy adjustments.

The storage basket is enormous, you can easily fit a week’s worth of groceries in there. The suspension is excellent for a four-wheel stroller, handling cracked sidewalks with ease.

It is an investment, but given the high resale value and versatility, many parents find it worth every penny.

You do not have to spend a fortune to get a decent all-terrain stroller. The Baby Trend Expedition features large bicycle-style tires that roll over grass and gravel easily.

It includes a parent tray with two cup holders and a covered compartment, which many luxury brands sell separately. The handle is ergonomic and comfortable for long walks.

The seat is padded and reclines for naps. It is compatible with Baby Trend infant car seats to create a travel system. While it is great for walking on rough terrain, serious runners might find the front wheel less stable than high-end joggers at high speeds.

If you have a taller or heavier child, the Joovy Zoom360 is a fantastic choice. It has a high seat back and a weight capacity of 75 pounds, meaning your child will not outgrow it anytime soon.

Despite its size, it weighs just under 26 pounds, which is light for a jogger. It features a locking front swivel wheel and shock-absorbing suspension for a smooth ride.

The seat sits high, giving your child a great view. We also love the included parent organizer for keys and drinks. The tire pump is included, which is a thoughtful touch since air-filled tires need maintenance.

The Graco Ready2Grow 2.0 is a versatile beast for growing families. It folds like a single stroller but offers over 12 ways to ride. It accepts two Graco infant car seats, making it instant twin-ready.

As your children grow, you can use the two seats, or remove the back seat to reveal a bench and standing platform. This is perfect for an older toddler who wants to hop on and off.

The one-step fold is impressive for a double stroller. It stands on its own when folded, which saves your back when loading the car. The storage basket is accessible, though the bar down the middle can make it tricky to fit large diaper bags.

The Summer Infant 3D Lite is the king of budget-friendly umbrella strollers. It strikes the perfect balance between portability and features.

It weighs just 13 pounds and has a durable aluminum frame. Unlike many cheap umbrella strollers, this one actually reclines. You can lay the seat back for a napping toddler, which is a game-changer on vacation.

The storage basket is surprisingly large for this category, though it is hard to access when the seat is reclined. It also includes a cup holder and a rear pocket for your phone. The canopy has a pop-out visor for extra shade on sunny days.

If you love the look of a pram but need modern functionality, the Baby Joy 2-in-1 is a great pick. It comes with a bassinet that converts into a toddler seat, saving you from storing extra attachments.

The bassinet is spacious and includes a footmuff for cold weather. The fabric uses ventilated linen and mesh to prevent overheating.

You can face the seat toward you for bonding or turn it outward. The aluminum frame is sturdy, holding children up to 33 pounds. While it looks sleek, it is on the heavier side, so make sure you are comfortable lifting it.

For daycare providers or large families, the Foundations Quad is a lifesaver. It carries four children in a surprisingly compact footprint.

It features two rows of two seats. While it is obviously larger than a standard stroller, it fits through most standard doorways, which is rare for a quad stroller.

The rubberized foam wheels absorb shock well, and the braking system is reliable. Each seat reclines independently and has a five-point harness. The fabric is easy to wipe down, a necessity when you have four kids snacking at once.

The Baby Trend Sit n Stand is the go-to for parents with a baby and an independent toddler. The rear seat can hold an infant car seat, or you can remove it to let your older child stand on the platform or sit on the jump seat.

It is a favorite for theme parks because it allows tired toddlers to hop on and off quickly. It can accommodate two infant car seats at once, making it an option for twins.

The fold is simple, and it is relatively lightweight for a double. The main downside is the rear seat space; when a car seat is attached to the front, the rear rider has limited legroom.

The Baby Jogger City Tour 2 is a marvel of engineering. It offers the push and comfort of a larger stroller but folds down small enough to fit in a backpack.

Weighing just 14 pounds, it is perfect for city living or travel. The fold is one-handed and locks automatically. It comes with a carry bag, so you can sling it over your shoulder.

Unlike many micro-strollers, this one has a near-flat recline and an adjustable calf support, keeping legs comfortable during naps. The canopy has a UV 50+ rating and a peekaboo window.

Peg Perego brings Italian design to the travel system market. The Booklet 50 includes the top-rated Primo Viaggio 4-35 car seat, which clicks directly into the stroller without bulky adapters.

The stroller folds inward like a book, which keeps the upholstery clean, a brilliant feature for messy trunks. It pushes smoothly and has a narrow 20-inch width, making it easy to navigate store aisles.

The car seat is known for its safety features, including an anti-rebound bar. The stroller seat is spacious and comfortable once your baby graduates from the carrier.
