Different Stroller Types

Stroller Types and Descriptions

In the market for a stroller? Well you've come to the right place. It can be so confusing trying to figure out what stroller is best for you and baby. There are a variety of strollers out there to fit almost any lifestyle and every budget. We broke up each type of stroller into individual categories and explained a little of what you should expect from each style.

Baby Carriage Strollers

• These strollers are usually used for newborns because they carry the baby carriage basically on wheels. They sometimes can be a little bulky and you may have a difficult time when traveling with this stroller since it uses the whole carriage for baby. We would recommend the UPPAbaby Vista stroller for this type of mom.

Standard Strollers

• These can be single or double strollers. They are made for strolling around the park or running small errands. The standard stroller can be pretty large in some cases since they often have areas for storage built in.

Lightweight or Umbrella Strollers

• These lightweight or umbrella strollers usually weight around 15 pounds. Lightweight umbrella strollers come in single or double. The handles are curved like an umbrella and often folds as easy as an umbrella which gives it it's name.

• Lightweight umbrella strollers are not recommended for newborns. One great thing about these strollers is that they are small so they are easy to carry when traveling, although they can lack some storage features that the larger strollers have. UPPAbaby umbrella strollers are the ideal umbrella strollers.

Travel System Strollers

• This stroller is a standard stroller but it comes with an infant car seat that can be attached to the stroller.

Luxury Strollers

• If you enjoy fashionable, quality fabrics the luxury strollers are for you! Our luxury strollers are lightweight and have the most luxurious fabrics and designs. These luxury strollers can come with the availability to adjust the seating arrangement as your child grows. Many come with bassinets or footboards for the older child or can be bought separately. Our Phil & Ted's Vibe stroller is one of our hottest luxury strollers.

Jogging Fixed Wheel Strollers

• Our jogging strollers are perfect for active mom's who want to keep up with their fit lifestyle while bringing baby along. Jogging Strollers are sturdy and usually have a fixed wheel and brakes to keep your baby safe at higher speeds. We carry the B.O.B line, Baby Jogger, as well as InStep and Schwinn jogging fixed wheel strollers.

• These strollers come in single or double. Don't let the name fool you, you don't have to run marathons to own one of our jogging strollers. These strollers at the very least allow your baby to have the smoothest ride possible no matter where you and baby decide to venture.

All-Terrain Swivel Wheel Strollers

• The all-terrain stroller is ideal for parents who enjoy the outdoors and brisk walks with their little one. These strollers are not recommended for jogging since they have a swivel wheel on the front instead of the fixed wheel like the joggers.

• Our all-terrain strollers have specially made wheels on the all-terrain's allow for a smooth ride for your baby that allows for flexible handling for you to tread over almost any rough surface. These strollers come in single and double versions. Baby Jogger's Elite line is ideal as well as InStep and Schwinn's line of great swivel wheel all-terrain strollers that we carry here in our store.

Triple Strollers

• Triple strollers are designed just for parents who have three kids or more. These strollers are larger so that they can carry multiple babies but can also be sleek depending on which brand you choose. Baby Jogger has a triple stroller that is a dream for parents who would like to be active with more than two children.
