Best Strollers of 2022 & Top Picks on the Market

What to consider before buying a stroller:

1. Start with size. Families should first measure their trunk, doorway, and stroller storage area to see what size stroller - in an open and folded position - might work best for them.
2. Then think about lifestyle and terrain. Will you be on concrete, gravel, grass, or dirt paths? If you live in an urban environment, your stroller will most likely become your car. You’ll be using it all day not only to walk with your tot, but also to lug your groceries and goods around (think big basket).
3. Next consider baby #2. If you’re planning to expand your family anytime soon, will you want a stroller that can grow with your family (convertibles let you add on a seat)?
4. Then there’s the budget. While not everyone can afford the “best” on the market, there are budget friendly options that can meet everyone's  needs.

Here are more things to consider when getting ready to buy a stroller.

Best Strollers for Newborns
