Best Overall Strollers 2023

[@BarnevognverkstedNo]

In order to keep our recommendations up to date, we maintain a 'Buyer's Guide' (with a wide spectrum of models, and a lot of technical and lifestyle-related information). Organizing our recommendations this way makes it easier to include good models that we haven't made review-videos for yet, as well as to remove models which have developed unforeseen wear-issues over time, or which have been weakened by the manufacturer in their current iterations. You can access the guide (in addition to our 4-part video series on Choosing the Right Stroller for your Lifestyle, and other helpful content), as well as contact us directly on Patreon: www.patreon.com/posts/stroller-buyers-37953864 These materials are also available via channel membership on KZbin: www.youtube.com/@BarnevognverkstedNo/membership , and BuyMeaCoffee: buymeacoffee.com/thestrollerworkshop

I've been going back and fourth on different strollers trying to find not too expensive, durable with rough terrain capabilities. Since I found your channel I've realised if I want durable, longevity with terrain capabilities its going to cost or buy second hand. I've decided on the uppababy vista v2 as a single stroller I was going to get the joie versatrax but I want something that I don't have to replace because my toddler can't fit in it anymore plus it will stand up to the test of time if I want to have a second child once my first no longer needs the stroller. I still like watching your reviews the mechanics of strollers is really interesting.

[@louisevandenbroele3753]

I am very happy with my uppababy Cruz V2. It offers comfort to my child and myself on our daily miles in the city. It rides well on bad pavements and is easy to maintain. It may be a little large on public transport but it is sturdy and safe. When folded it fits into a small car boot. I bought this stoller on the basis of the advice on this blog and am glad I did, now after 6 months of use.

[@louisevandenbroele3753]

Now, a few months later, when I was out and about with my little ones, the front wheel broke off. It snapped as I was walking and the wheel fell off, while the fitting was still left on. I have reported it to the company as the thing is still well within warranty. We shall see what they suggest but I have now very little faith in the suggested quality

[@cory9437]

After binge watching several hours of your content in researching a stroller for our first baby, we've decided on the Bugaboo Butterfly with Bugaboo's infant car seat (Turtle One) to double as a bassinet, as this seems like the best balance for our current living situation (3rd floor walk-up in NYC). If we end up moving, the Butterfly would work as a travel stroller as well. Thank you for all the quality information.

[@BarnevognverkstedNo]

You're very welcome! I'm so happy our channel was able to help you out. :)

[@jostamler]

Hey, did you have a bassinet connected to the butterfly?

[@cory9437]

@@jostamler Baby's due in a few weeks so we haven't actually used it yet, but we went with the Bugaboo Turtle One car seat with the stroller adapters to use as a bassinet until 6 months.

[@laisviscininas8154]

Hey! Are you a dad yet?:) Have you had an opportunity to try it out yet? I'm looking for a lightweight first stroller and would love this setup as we live in a 6th floor without a lift... My only concern is if the baby will be warm enough during winter, as I live in Easter Europe.

[@courtneycooper5603]

I love your reviews! Please review the bumprider connect 3! It looks neat but would love to know your thoughts on the parts and technical aspects.

[@VonSaxenCoburg]

Hi guys, have you done the Easywalker Jackey, by any chance? Can't seem to find a vid for it on the channel.

[@edenlauren6071]

Could you please review the new Bugaboo Fox 5? It seems to be quite different to the fox 3. For the better or worse? Just what your general impression is until you get to actually test it. Very curious! ( and the Bugaboo Cub - i think its similar to the Lynx? Or just changed names?) :) Your videos are great! I love your analitic reviews.

[@BarnevognverkstedNo]

Thanks, glad you like the channel! :) We put out a video with our initial impressions of the Fox 5 ( kzbin.info/www/bejne/rIOYmJSnpKehodk ), and are working on getting the actual stroller for a full review. It does seem to be a major overhaul. The Cub (unfortunately) looks to me like it's more or less just the Lynx as well, but we're going to do some research on it in the coming weeks and put out a video. Wish it was a Bee-sized model based on the main Bugaboo design, but I'm pretty sure it's not. :)

[@Vid594]

My stroller search has become so much less terrifying after coming across your channel! My dilemma is that we have a husky and do plan on using the stroller to take on countryside walks - however we also have a Mini Cooper and realistically cannot fit a massive stroller and our husky in our car. We also need to plan an international trip when the baby is six months old. The UppaBaby Cruz seems like a solid option that gives us a bit of both worlds. Is there any other brands you'd recommend?

[@Erin-op6hd]

A waist leash

[@susan507]

Thanks for your brilliant content!! I’m looking to get out of my ICandy Peach 7 because it’s heavy and difficult to steer one-handed, the handlebar grip is too wide and also not tall enough, and the sun canopy doesn’t offer enough protection. I keep going back and forth between the Vista and Cruz. Mostly for city use, with the occasional gravel road. I also own a MINU, which I like, but bubs has terrible posture in it. Looking at your other content I got the sense that you’d say go with the Vista, yet here it doesn’t rate a mention. Our 6 month old is already off the charts in terms of height. I’d love to know any further thoughts you have. Many thanks!

[@AmandaPáez-c7x]

Hi! What do you think of the joovy qool double stroller?

[@rr3775]

Hi. As a current Joovy Qool stroller parent, I advise you AGAINST buying any Joovy product. Their support had been non-existent when our stroller canopy zipper failed. It took more than 2 months and the result was I have to pay $60 in shipping even though the defect is from factory. In addition to that. the Qool is incredibly heavy and a pain to lift, fold everyday.

[@ap3008]

We’re going withe the Nuna Triv Next (hoping it will not wear down as quickly though) because the fold is very nice, seems small enough but with bigger wheels, has the next Nuna system and we like the Nuna Arra chair for possibility to extend and materials. We’re planning for long term with this stroller and we’re a bit worried about the wear in time since it’s quite pricey as well. We also loved the Baby Jogger too for similar reasons, but it does not have a bassinet and it’s not compatible with Nuna chairs, only Cybex and other brands. Baby jogger does seem more sturdy and that it has more terrain capability.

[@ariahna]

How has the Triv Next served you thus far? Looking into this one too!

[@efenili]

So many compacts. I am trying to find the best that fits into overheads and while I think that could be the Joolz the Butterfly and Minu V2 feel better for larger kids and everyday use? Just not sure how well they'll do in overheards if at all. FWIW I gate check my Cruz v2 all the time if thats the stroller that's coming with me, never been an issue.

[@EmilAyoubRealtor]

Thoughts on the Silver Cross Comet? Could not find a review from you. We were set on the Triv Next but considering it is not newborn friendly (US Version does not lay flat or have a bassinet), we are trying to decide whether to put up with that for 6 months or get the SC Comet or UB Cruz instead.

[@artemisd.9450]

My thoughts about the compact strollers are that the bugaboo butterfly has really small wheels compared to my joolz aer and the babyzen yoyo'z seat looks smaller than the joolz's one, which isn't very big to start with! As for the bugaboo donkey, the seat looks awfully narrow! It would be so great if you could review the out'n'about pushchairs as they are such a hit in the UK and I feel like they can easily compete with the mountain buggy duet, being much lighter and also having a three wheeler option.

[@runningfromabear8354]

We have the bugaboo donkey for our twins. If the seats are too narrow then the seats on the bumbleride and out'n'about are too narrow too as they're all about the same width. Our twins have plenty of space in their stroller.

[@artemisd.9450]

The seats are sligthly wider on the out n about as they are fixed and don't have clips on both sides, and more importantly they are much much deeper so it's absolutely not the same. I had an icandy Orange before, the seats were wider as it's not a side-by-side but shallow like the donkey. It was no good for big toddlers. Plus the donkey is such a faff to put in the boot, as was the icandy.

[@runningfromabear8354]

@@artemisd.9450 We don't use the donkey with the car. If you want something for the car, then get something to keep your car. We want a good stroller to use day to day. My kids have never been more than 50th percentile. No need for extra wide seats. Our donkey is perfect for us. What is with people with giant kids assuming that everyone shares their needs shitting on products that work perfectly well for lots of other people?

[@conan3671]

I would love to see a comparison between the Nuna Triv Next and the Joolz Hub+

[@BarnevognverkstedNo]

Triv Next isn’t available for purchase here in Norway yet but we’ll do it as soon as:)

[@srmedias4545]

Great summary. Have you seen the new Bugaboo Fox 5?

[@BarnevognverkstedNo]

Just put out our first impressions based on what we can find online ( kzbin.info/www/bejne/rIOYmJSnpKehodk ), but we're trying to get ahold of the actual stroller as soon as possible. :)

[@robb199]

Is the baby jogger gt2 a reversible seat? It looks like it would fit us the best but we really want the option for baby to face us.

[@Merope4ever]

Sorry, no. The only 3-wheelers I know where that is possible are from Mountainbuggy. If you buy their carrycot, you can convert it into a parent facing seat.

[@BarnevognverkstedNo]

TFK has a reversible option as well. :)

[@Merope4ever]

@@BarnevognverkstedNo Thanks. I just remembered that the iCandy Peach All Terrain also has a reversible seat (or 2) and a 3-wheel mode. But then it looks like the Mountain Buggy strollers are the only 3-wheelers I know with a reversible seat option and a standard sling seat mode.

[@Merope4ever]

It is possible to use the Mountain Buggy Duet as a reversable seat stroller. The carrycot plus can be made into a reversable seat. Of course it will be a narrow seat and therefore the children grow out of it soon, but still.

[@BarnevognverkstedNo]

I don't think so. The Duet has it's own carrycot as far as I know, and I think it's too basic to be convertible. You could check with Mountain Buggy though. :)

[@Merope4ever]

@@BarnevognverkstedNo My answer has been removed. Would it be because I linked the Mountain buggy website and that broke some marketing rules from youtube?

[@Merope4ever]

@@BarnevognverkstedNo Anyway, on the product page from the "Mountain Buggy Carrycot Plus for Duet" it clearly states that the carrycot comes with "another fabric set that allows you to parent face your child for up to 15kg capacity with 5 adjustable angles". What is that second fabric set for? It cannot be the sling seat, because the sling seat must come with the stroller itself. So the carrycot can be turned into a parent facing seat. That's the purpose of the second fabric set that comes with the carrycot. I think it's pretty clear. Where did I go wrong?

[@jackieduplessis92]

Have you done a review on the Maxi Cosi Zelia 5 in 1? Interested in your thoughts as it seems like a less expensive version of the Nuna or Uppababy?

[@evelynduron6549]

I had that stroller gifted to me. I honestly hated it. Loved the concept that the seat became a bassinet and that it was a travel system. My issues were that it was MASSIVE and folding sucked. The suspension wasn’t that good either. So I gave it away to a family in need.

[@BarnevognverkstedNo]

Thanks for sharing your experience! :)

[@BarnevognverkstedNo]

I haven't seen it yet unfortunately. :)

[@leescharich6876]

Great content

[@barlevi2045]

Would love to know which one is better bumbleride indie or bugaboo fox 5

[@BarnevognverkstedNo]

That depends on a lot of factors, some short notes though, might be that the Indie is a more terrain-capable and arguably more sturdily-built stroller, while the Fox is more comfort/luxury oriented, has a reversible seat, and a better shopping basket. :)

[@spiestot]

Can you please recommend a travel stroller that fits in the overhead bin of plane + has a full recline. Thanks!

[@videogeek55]

I believe the new Joolz Aer+ would be an option

[@nyssac2914]

The city tour from baby jogger lies totally flat and either meets Australian carry on luggage requirements or is just slightly outside (by an inch or so).

[@DL-ir2wb]

Please can you make a Review about finito signature of joie!? Thaknyou

[@liionelbooon]

No mention of the Joolz Aer?

[@zacharymartin7715]

Could you take a look at or comment on the guava roam?

[@BarnevognverkstedNo]

We don't have it in Norway at the moment, but keep an eye out if i shows up in the future. :)

[@zacharymartin7715]

Thanks!

[@BellinaStronza]

New Joolz Aer+?

[@BarnevognverkstedNo]

Not available here yet, but definitely a model that we'll be checking out as soon as it is. :)
