Our Thoughts
We did massive amounts of research on strollers when pregnant with our first child, and this is the one we decided on. The storage underneath is MASSIVE (big enough to hold two backpacks). Our 28lb dog has even hitched a ride under there on long walks! The frame is relatively lightweight. It has the ability to recline, forward or rear face, and turn into a bassinet. When in pinch we have fully reclined the seat and used the bassinet mode as a changing table. The versatility, low price point, and durability of this stroller make it a 10/10 in our book! We still reach for this stroller when we only need a one seater.
When we need a two seater this is our fav. This is the bigger version of the Pivot mentioned above. The frame is very heavy duty, thus quite a bit heavier but not a deal breaker. The sunshades are able to be raised to accommodate taller children and that was big selling point for us. It is also able to recline and has the ability to turn into a bassinet and face the front or back. When comparing this seat with similar competitors we discovered it has many of the same features at a much lower price. One of the biggest selling points was how you can quickly switch between a single and double stroller. The ability to fold up the lower mounting brackets instead of having to remove them completely allows us to quickly make it a single stroller. It is also a plus that we didn't have to purchase the brackets separately. However, it is important to note it comes with one rumble seat (you will need to purchase the second rumble seat separately when your kiddo outgrows the infant car seat).
For those looking for a compact travel friendly option, the Mamazing Travel Stroller is ideal. This stroller folds up small enough to fit in the overhead compartment of a plane! The lightweight carbon fiber frame allows this stroller to weigh in at only 11.6 lbs, light enough to lift one handed. And easy enough to fold one handed as well, perfect when your hands are full of other luggage and children.
This super affordable stroller option folds up into a long skinny rectangle or "umbrella" shape. This allows you to slide it into small spaces when traveling. It also weighs 11 lbs and has a sun visor that extends to block the light from your little ones face. The super low price tag make this a perfect option to bring on vacation so you don't have to worry about airport handlers "mishandling" and banging up your nicer stroller.
We love this all-in-one stroller option. The ability to quickly transition from car seat to stroller makes this option so convenient. I have several friends who swear by this stroller/carseat combo. It only weighs in at 17 lbs which makes it a great option when taking public transportation of any kind, ensuring your little one is safe in all scenarios.
When we moved further out of the city we needed a stroller that could handle the dirt paths around our home. This was a great option for us. We liked the lower price point compared to other joggers and the real rubber tires for extra traction on surfaces.
