Babble Best Picks:
Strollers
One of the biggest purchases for your baby is the stroller, riddled with safety, style, and status issues - as well as affordability, of course, considering some strollers climb above the $1,000 mark. The choices and questions are seemingly endless: How do you accommodate your newborn without wasting money on a short-lived purchase? What are the features you absolutely need? Are luxury strollers really worth it? Can you find a good stroller in the $100 range?
To make your search easier, Babble assembled and test-drove over 30 of the newest strollers - from lightweight umbrella strollers to all-terrain joggers - to find the best of the best for every budget, geographic location, and age group. Did we miss one? Nominate your
favorite stroller here.
READERS’ CHOICE | Kelty Kids Speedster Swivel-Deluxe
If anyone knows sporty outdoor gear, it’s Kelty, and we’ve found their kids’ line (which has top-of-the-line baby carriers and strollers) fits the needs of active families. So it seems only natural that Kelty would have an all-terrain jogging stroller like their Speedster Swivel-Deluxe.
As the name suggests, this jogging stroller’s front wheel can be used in either a locked jogging mode or a maneuverable swivel mode, perfect for any type of activity. All of the tires – which includes two 16″ rear tires and one 12″ front tire – are filled with air, making them incredibly maneuverable on any type of terrain. And while the stroller folds quite compactly, we only have one complaint: In order to fully lock the stroller closed, you have to use a clamp on either side. Several of our testers had a difficult time closing the clamps; one person pinched their hand in the stroller’s frame because it wasn’t closed properly. Other than that, we thought it was a good, stable jogging stroller that performed well with a very reasonable price. Oh, and did we mention that there’s a bell on the stroller? The kids found that hilarious.

Very good info! We’re in the process of finding the BEST stroller ourselves for your our website. Thanks for the post!
THANK YOU for compiling this! I’ve tested a few of these…like the Phil + Teds, Bugaboo Cameleon, Mamas + Papas, etc…and I agree with this article on your choices and categories. I think I’m going with the P+T Smart…it looks so cool and ride real smooth. But so many great strollers! My friend has the Joovy Scooter and LOVES it, even though it’s very cheap. Thanks babble!
Sorry, I disagree with it being “the only stroller you’ll ever need to buy.” I tested one out when my daughter was two years old and she was already too tall to fit in it comfortably! She walks most of the time when we’re out and about, but there are times where she falls asleep in the car and I just put her into the stroller until she’s ready to wake up on her own. I would be pretty disappointed to spend $1000 on a stroller and not even be able to use it for two years.
I am looking for the best twins stroller. I have no idea what to get. Suggestions?
Yeah- what about twins and multiples? What is the best stroller for them? I have the Maclaren Twin Techno- and it works for us, but I’m curious to see what Babble comes up with.
any advice on stollers for twins? not for older and younger babies. TWINS. It is very difficult to get comparative info, or actually any info. Very frustrated… maybe just hormonal….

Bugaboo is indeed a great stroller, we even take it on the plane with no problem at all, my son is 30 months and still fits perfectly and he’s not a small boy, I would recommend it without a doubt
my best friend’s mom makes $77 an hour on the computer. She has been out of job for 9 months but last month her check was $7487 just working on the computer for a few hours. Read about it here CashBrave.com
I’m surprised to see the Chameleon get so highly recommended. Not that it isn’t a nice stroller, but it’s pretty well known that children outgrow this stroller in height long before weight is even an issue.
