About Strollers
Full-size strollers are comfortable for long walks and have big baskets but take up trunk space. Compact travel strollers fold small for flights and city transit. Jogging strollers have air tires and locking front wheels for running.
If you plan to use an infant car seat, check compatibility or adapters before buying.
How to choose a stroller
Type
Full-size for daily walks, compact for travel and transit, jogging for running, double for two children.
Fold and weight
Try the fold in a store if you can. One-hand folds and lighter frames matter for car trips and stairs.
Wheels and terrain
Large rubber or air-filled wheels handle rough sidewalks. Small plastic wheels suit smooth floors.
Car seat compatibility
Travel systems include a matching car seat. Other strollers may need adapters.
Recline and canopy
A deep recline suits naps and newborns. A large canopy blocks sun.

Answers
Strollers: common questions
What is the best stroller to buy?
One of our strongest picks is the BOB Gear Revolution Flex 3.0 Jogging Stroller, a standout in our Best Jogging Strollers list. The UPPAbaby Vista V2 Stroller is another excellent choice.
How do I choose the right strollers?
Start with your main use and budget, then compare our shortlists: Best Jogging Strollers, Best Strollers for Newborns, Best Strollers for Small Cars.
What should I look for when buying strollers?
Full-size for daily walks, compact for travel and transit, jogging for running, double for two children.
Does the Baby Jogger City Mini GT2 come with a car seat?
The travel system version includes the City GO 2 infant car seat and base. A stroller-only version is also sold separately for parents who already own a compatible car seat or don't need one, generally at a lower price than the bundled travel system.
Are the City Mini GT2's tires actually flat-proof?
Yes, they're described as forever-air rubber tires, a foam-filled or solid rubber construction rather than air-filled pneumatic tires, so there's no risk of a puncture going flat mid-walk, unlike air-filled tires on strollers like the BOB Revolution Flex 3.0.
How does the City Mini GT2 compare to a dedicated jogging stroller for running?
The City Mini GT2 has all-wheel suspension and a swivel front wheel, good for uneven sidewalks and light trail walking, but it isn't built for sustained running the way the BOB Revolution Flex 3.0 or Thule Urban Glide 2 are, since it lacks a lockable front wheel and the larger air-filled tires that provide stability at running speed.
What is the weight limit on the Baby Jogger City Mini GT2?
The stroller supports a child up to 65 lbs, meaningfully higher than many competing strollers' 50 lb limits, which extends its usable years well into the toddler and early school-age range for children who still want or need a stroller for longer outings.
What makes a stroller safe to actually run with, versus just labeled a jogger?
A true jogging stroller has a fixed (locked) front wheel option, larger air-filled tires (typically 12 to 16 inches), and a hand-operated or wrist-strap brake. A locked front wheel is essential above a light jog, an unlocked swivel wheel can shimmy and become unstable at running speed. Crossover strollers marketed as joggers but built with small plastic wheels and no wheel lock, like many budget travel systems, are fine for brisk walking but not recommended for actual running.
