Buying advice: strollers

  1. Full-size for daily walks, compact for travel and transit, jogging for running, double for two children.
  2. Try the fold in a store if you can. One-hand folds and lighter frames matter for car trips and stairs.
  3. Large rubber or air-filled wheels handle rough sidewalks. Small plastic wheels suit smooth floors.
  4. Travel systems include a matching car seat. Other strollers may need adapters.
  5. A deep recline suits naps and newborns. A large canopy blocks sun.
