Finding the perfect single stroller
We have a comprehensive stroller buying guide that walks you through everything you need to consider to connect you with the perfect single stroller, but let's start simple.
Think about where your day takes you. Is there uneven terrain, small or crowded spaces, long distances, unpredictable weather? Do you see the set-up and pack down of your stroller being a regular or rare event? How important are aesthetics to you? Do you have plans to grow your family in the near future?
Answering these few questions can help you strike some of our strollers out of contention. You can view it as a process of elimination. We’ve done the bulk of it for you. The strollers we’ve curated in our collection are already the best models from the best brands, Stokke YOYO (formerly known as BABYZEN), UPPAbaby and many more. You just need to pare our selection down to the perfect one for you and your family.
Do I need a stroller if I have a baby carrier?
Babywearing is an excellent space-saving option for our compact city, but there are certain situations where a single stroller is invaluable. We see strollers as more than just for getting around. They can be a chair, a bed, a play space, a safety restraint… Being able to lay bubs down when they’re looking like nodding off can free you up to enjoy your meal, try on that outfit you’ve been eyeing off, or just go to the bathroom! It’s lovely to keep your little one close to your heart, but sometimes we all need a little space, and in our warm weather, a little air! Your baby could be cool and comfy in the shade of the stroller’s canopy, and you can give yourself a bit of breathing room too.
While newborn carriers seem ideal initially, your little bundle of joy is only going to stay little for the shortest time. Strollers take lots of the heavy lifting out of parenting, saving your back, legs and feet from the ravages of carrying a surprisingly heavy little person around all day. Starting young establishes a positive relationship with the stroller, making it a place where your child will feel safe, secure and happy in. This becomes all the more important when your little one grows into a strong-willed toddler who will have it their way at all costs!
