Strollers 101 Standard-size: These models come with all the bells and whistles for
everyday strolling — from oversized canopies to extra storage and cup holders. Tip: Personalize your stroller with accessories like reversible liners, handlebar consoles, travel bags and rain covers.
Lightweight: Also known as the umbrella stroller, this is the ultimate
traveling companion. They’re easy to fold and carry (some weigh only 10 pounds). Tip: Lightweight doesn’t have to mean light on features — cup holders, an adjustable canopy, a storage basket and a reclining seat are perks to look for.
Jogging: They’re fast, cool-looking and can run circles around the other
strollers at the playground. “All-terrain” strollers and “three-wheelers” are great for brisk walking or light jogging, while serious runners should look for a stroller with a fixed front wheel. Tip: The bigger the wheel, the greater the workout potential.
