This elegant stroller expands with your family from single to double with an adapter for infant car seats (sold separately) and rear-facing bench seat. It even automatically straightens all wheels when you fold!

Maneuverability

The mobility of a single handle stroller makes it much easier to push and turn in tight spaces. It is also a good choice if you intend to use the stroller while running, or for other high-speed activities. Most models have one-touch brakes that activate an upper bar on each rear tire. Some also have a hand-operated brake that works similar to the one-touch system. Both kinds of brakes are simple to use, but you must be careful not to lose hold of the handle and slide out of control.

During Shop our collection of high-quality single pushchairs testing during our testing, the Mockingbird performed very well on all of our terrains. It also made sharp turns. It was much more maneuverable than we anticipated when turning in a parking lot or narrow aisle. The padding on the seat is thick and is comfortable, and the reclining mechanism is smooth. We particularly like the wrist strap that's normally found on jogging strollers, which helps you maintain control in the event that you lose your grip.

The Mockingbird's assembly is easy and simple. It is almost fully assembled, with only the bumper bar to attach. The unit can be folded with a simple push of an button. The only issue we've encountered is that the Hold-on Handle can snag other objects, making it difficult to remove or store from the trunk.

Some parents decide to invest in a stroller that has many features and can be used on paved streets, sidewalks, or in parks. They are generally heavier, but they often come with convenient features, such as large canopy, a spacious under-seat baskets, and a reclining seat that accommodates infant car seats.

Some opt for a lightweight, travel-friendly stroller that they can use for holidays or for local trips. A lot of these models have the benefit of folding down into an incredibly compact, free-standing unit which is easier to store in a closet or take up and down stairs. The Nuna TRVL for example folds at the push of a button and its under-seat compartment can be sized to fit the size of a backpack.

Weight

Lightweight strollers are ideal for parents who are always on the go. They're small and easy to maneuver in busy streets, shopping centers or the narrow aisles of public transportation. They can be folded and put away in the trunk or back of your vehicle. They often exceed the size requirements for gate-checking or cabin storage on planes, which makes them perfect for family trips as well.

Some strollers that are lightweight can accommodate children of any age while others are made to be suited to specific terrains or travel conditions. If you plan to travel on rough terrain, choose an jogging-stroller that has a suspension system that will provide a cushion for your child. The Graco Ready2Grow LX is a lightweight stroller that will grow with your child from birth through preschool age and features an easy fold that allows for transport or storage.

Other strollers that are lightweight offer a variety of convenient features. Some strollers come with adjustable handlebars for parents of different heights. Others have spacious storage baskets to keep all your essentials at fingertips. Some strollers feature one-hand fold mechanisms that make it simple to fold them up and store them when not in use. This frees up your hands for other things. The much-loved Coaster Stroller is a great light option that offers 360-degree views, three reclined seats, and also meets Disney Park size requirements. It's also extremely light at 12.8 lbs.

For instance some strollers come with adjustable handlebars that can be adjusted to accommodate parents of different heights, while others have large storage baskets for all the essentials. Some strollers can be folded with one hand or by simply pressing a button at the side of the frame. This feature gives parents the convenience of storing their stroller while still holding their child or even shopping.

Most strollers come with locking mechanisms to prevent them from collapsing in the event of an accident. The lock is usually located on the back of the stroller and can be locked by a button or lever. In certain situations the use of swivel wheel locks may be used to ensure stability.

The size of the wheels on a stroller are also crucial, as it can influence how it moves. Strollers with larger wheels are more stable and able to take on any terrain. Strollers with smaller wheels are easier to maneuver, lighter, and less durable, but they may not be as smooth.

Frequency of use is also an important aspect when selecting the right stroller. Some models convert easily into a travel system, and are suitable for frequent trips. Other models are more substantial and have a compact fold and are made for daily use with a toddler.
