The Best Strollers for a Newborn & Toddler

The best stroller for you will depend on your lifestyle and your preferences. Perhaps you need a lightweight stroller you can fold up and carry anywhere. If you're in and out of your car a lot, you may want a stroller that allows you to snap the baby's car seat into place. You may want a stroller that will do double-duty, acting as a baby carriage when your baby needs to sleep or lie down, but letting him sit up later.

  1. Quinny Buzz

    • The Quinny Buzz stroller folds and unfolds automatically. It has a molded seat to support your child. The Buzz is good for newborns and toddlers alike, as the seat switches directions, allowing you to have your infant facing you and even lying on his back, but letting your toddler face forward to explore the world around him. It comes in black, brown, red, pink, blue and beige. Accessories include carrycots, car seats, and an umbrella. It rides well, folds easily and is extremely maneuverable, though at over 26 pounds, it's not easy to travel with.

    Bumbleride Flyer

    • The Bumbleride Flyer is durable and has a machine-washable lining. It has a reversible handle to let the baby ride facing you and, later, the toddler ride facing forward. The back also lies flat, and an optional footmuff accessory lets you turn the stroller into a baby carriage. It has a big cargo basket, height-adjustable handle, footrest, safety bar, and cup holder. Optional accessories include a carrycot and snack pack. The Bumbleride Flyer comes in black, red, pink, green and orange.

    Bob Revolution

    • The Bob Revolution stroller is an affordable jogging stroller that's good for everyday use and is able to go off-road with ease. The three-wheel design allows for good maneuverability, but the front wheel locks to keep the stroller stable when running over uneven terrain. It has a smooth ride and folds up quickly. The Revolution comes in single and dual models. Infants, including newborns, can ride in the Revolution safely with the addition of a car seat adapter. Other accessories include a weather shield, sun shield, cargo conversion kit and diaper bag. The Revolution is available in navy, orange, chocolate and black.

    Mountain Buggy Urban Jungle

    • The Mountain Buggy Urban Jungle is a convertible stroller that can double as a carrycot stroller for a newborn or infant. It also allows you to snap your car seat in place. It folds easily, is lightweight and has a locking front wheel. When in stroller mode, it has a peekaboo flap to let you check on your toddler. The height-adjustable handle and bottle holder are convenient for the parent doing the pushing, and it has an adjustable sun canopy for the baby's comfort. The Urban Jungle comes in black, red, blue, gray, green and brown.
