Choosing the Best Stroller for You
Though we don't sell strollers here at Hip and Little, we know our customers are looking for the best baby gear. So, we did some industry research and are happy to highlight some top-rated strollers! We chose a couple from each category. We recommend going to your local baby shop and trying them out yourself to see what one is right for you. But here are a few ideas to get you started!
Strollers for Newborns
Travel systems are very popular with new parents due to the ease of transfering an infant seat into the stroller. As your baby grows, the stroller can still be used through toddlerhood. Good brands in this category include Graco and Chicco.
 
The Graco Spree Travel System includes the highly rated Graco SnugRide infant carseat. The seat holds infants up to 22 pounds and the stroller can be used for babies and toddlers up to 40 pounds. Transfering baby from car to the stroller is very easy - everything just snaps into place. This print is called "Barcelona Bluegrass", which we love, but there are also many more patterns to choose from. This set is a great deal because the snugride car seat itself usually costs almost $100.
 
The Graco Quattro Tour Deluxe Travel System is another great choice. This snugride seat goes up to 32 pounds and the stroller goes up to 50 pounds, so it will be useful for longer than the Spree. The Quattro Tour Deluxe stroller also features a fully-reclining seat, large storage basket, cupholders and parent tray - which make life a little easier for Mom and Dad. The canopy rotates to protect baby from the sun from different angles.
 
The Chicco Cortina KeyFit 22 Travel System is another great option. The Chicco Keyfit carseat is rated very highly. The stroller features multiple recline positions, including the ability to recline flat. This stroller will even remember what reclining position you last used. Can be folded with one hand, even when fully reclined. All covers are removable and washable, which is a big plus.
 
If you're looking for something more unique, take a look at the Orbit Baby Stroller Travel System G2. Parents love its modern style, 360 degree seat rotation and quadshock suspension. Comes in your choice of three colors of ecofriendly fabric (black, red and mocha).
Lightweight Strollers
For mamas on the go, a lightweight stroller is perfect for tossing in the trunk for a special outing.
 
The Peg Perego Si light weight stroller is a great choice all around. Parents love the easy fold mechanism, smooth running wheels, adjustable handles, large sun visor and storage basket.
 
The Combi Flare lightweight stroller is an affordable option with great features. It has multiple recline levels, a 5-point harness and easy folding ability.
Jogging Strollers
 
Everyone is buzzing about the BOB Revolution Stroller. It is a bit of an investment, but if it helps a new mama get out and get a bit of exercise, it is totally worth it! The Bob stroller has swivel wheels, excellent suspension, an easy folding mechanism and extremely safe design.
Whatever stroller you choose, enjoy taking your little one out for a stroll. Parents and babies alike enjoy a little fresh air and some new sights to see!
