Best Strollers for 2026

We love its one-hand, vertical self-standing fold, which works with both the seat and bassinet, making it easy to tuck away in the car, hallway or nursery. It also has a reversible and reclining seat with three positions, including convertible bassinet pram lie-flat, full suspension, puncture-proof urban wheels, an extendable UPF 50+ sun canopy and a handy expandable rear pocket. Plus, it’s made with bio-based materials and eco-friendly water-repellent fabric coatings, making it a thoughtful choice for families wanting a compact pram with a lighter environmental impact. The Bugaboo Fox Cub is one of the most popular full-sized prams we carry, especially for families wanting something sturdy, comfortable and easy to take on everyday adventures. It weighs 9.6kg on its own, 11.2kg with the seat or 12kg with the bassinet, and has large puncture-proof wheels with full suspension to help handle everything from smooth footpaths to sandy beach tracks.
To recap — for the seats, you can choose the Lux seat or the “2-in-1 Light Seat.” The Lux seat reclines fully (can be used from birth) and is heavier/more expensive/more plush. The new generation, even has a fashion collection (think florals) and designer collabs. The 2nd cool thing about the Vista is that it becomes an awesome double stroller, with purchase of the second seat, the “rumble seat” (max weight 35 lbs). For an older child (or a 3rd kid!), you can also get the UPPAbaby Piggyback Ride-Along Board ($119). For an extra $50, the Joovy Caboose also has the option of adding a second seat for the back (the “Rear Seat“) if your older kid isn’t ready yet for the bench seat, or if you’re going out for a longer stroll.

Its lightweight frame and compact size make it especially useful for quick errands and travel. The Stokke YOYO³ is an ultra-compact, travel-ready pram designed to move seamlessly from newborn through to toddler years. One of the best travel prams in Australia, it's built as a versatile system, and can be used from birth with a newborn pack, then transition into a lightweight stroller for children up to around 4 years. In terms of build quality, the Fox 5 feels refined and durable. The frame is sturdy without being bulky, and the materials are designed to last through daily use.
I found the one-handed fold to be simple, and this is one of the more compact strollers I tested (even though it’s on the heavier side for a travel stroller). The under seat basket isn’t quite as big as some other strollers, but it can hold up to 17.6 pounds—which is a good amount, especially for a travel stroller. The TRIV lx represents a major evolution from earlier TRIV models, featuring a complete redesign centered on durability, comfort, and everyday usability. It now boasts larger all-terrain wheels that deliver smoother handling across uneven sidewalks, park paths, and rugged terrain. A significantly upgraded 22 lb capacity storage basket offers ample space for daily essentials, making longer outings far more manageable. What truly sets the Flex System apart is its ability to evolve alongside your family.

Because we were being dropped off and picked up on either side, I had to carry a car seat on the boat, along with a large backpack and a tote bag for diapers, snacks, and toys. The Mixx Next made it feel like a fun, casual outing rather than a sweaty schlep. I was able to slide the car seat into the stroller’s storage basket and still had room to put the tote bag on top.
Its harness is also hard to adjust, its underseat basket is tricky to access, and its wheels struggle on even the tiniest bumps. Its large, adjustable footrest, long seat, and deep recline make it the best travel stroller for on-the-go naps. It’s even a bit lighter than the Joolz Aer2 and also comes with a travel bag. The Uppababy Minu V3 is the rare travel stroller that doesn’t make you miss a feature-packed full-size stroller. It has everything you need to make a trip easier, including a simple fold, plenty of underseat storage, a comfortable handlebar  that’s pleasant to push for long sightseeing days, and an excellent canopy.
Modern lightweight prams often include durable wheels, suspension systems and comfortable seating while remaining easy to carry and store. Parents frequently choose lightweight designs for convenience when navigating shopping centres, public transport and busy streets. A lightweight pram can make everyday outings simpler without sacrificing practicality or comfort.

All this taken into account, it won me over as the best premium option. We also dismissed several strollers — including the BabyJogger City Mini Air, the Joovy Kooper RS, and the Evenflo Gold Otto — because they are larger or heavier than we think is useful for a travel stroller. This adds another layer of protection if you’re gate-checking or putting the stroller away for long-term storage. To get the most compact fold, you have to pop the leg rest down after the stroller is folded. And we found it didn't always pop down or stay up when we wanted it to. Rather than adjusting the length of the shoulder and waist straps individually, you adjust them like a carseat — attach them around your child, then pull down a strap under the footrest to tighten them all.
It’s narrow enough to fit down airplane aisles and into most overhead bins. From birth, the Donkey 6 is ready to support twins with configurations that include two infant car seats, two bassinets, or two toddler seats, each accommodating up to 50 lbs. Add a ride-on board, and it can even accommodate an older sibling. Built for longevity and flexibility, the Bugaboo Donkey is a true workhorse designed to make twin parenting more manageable and mobile from day one. The Flex System is available in two thoughtfully designed purchase options.
When it comes to the Traveler, you get a compact option that only weighs 13 pounds yet still has desirable features like a belly bar and a parent cup holder. We also like that this stroller is Greenguard Gold certified, and some of the color options are made from recycled fabrics. The extra features in the Minu V3 make traveling easier, like the one-handed, multi-position recline. The larger-than-average under seat basket that can hold up to 20 pounds is a huge plus, too. The padded seat insert is removable, making it easy to spot clean or hand wash for larger messes.

Many modern designs combine both functions into one versatile system. Parents often choose based on portability, storage needs and whether they require a pram suitable from birth through toddlerhood. The Valco Baby Snap Ultra Reversible Stroller is a lightweight pram designed to offer flexibility and ease of use for everyday life.
If you frequently use various transportation methods and encounter diverse terrains, this is a good option. It fits in most overhead bins for air travel, has a UPF 50+ sun protection canopy and our tester found that it handles curbs, gravel, grass and roads well. It has a really easy one-handed fold and can stand without support when folded.

Test in person if possible, read honest reviews, and trust that your baby doesn’t care about brand names. One great stroller that fits your lifestyle will serve you well. I found that the Graco Ready2Jet Stroller couldn’t manage even small bumps in the sidewalk and was very difficult to push and turn one-handed.
Folds compactly, half the weight of a convertible, and the absorbers are surprisingly good for the price. The YOYO3 weighs in at just 6.2kg, making it one of the lightest on the market. It also offers a flexible buggy that can be adapted with the add-on of a newborn bassinet, then the seat unit to become a stroller when your child is six months. The Butterfly features four-wheel suspension for easy maneuvering. Bugaboo strollers are sleek and modern and the Butterfly will please those looking for functionality and aesthetics. While the stroller is uncomplicated to fold, Kimberlee does wish it was easier to open.
