The 4 Best Strollers 2026

What we love

• You want the most thoroughly documented clean-chemistry stroller fabric available, with GREENGUARD Gold and a flame-retardant-free build
• You want one travel system that grows from infant car seat carrier to full toddler stroller
• You mostly stroll on sidewalks and smooth paths where a heavier full-size frame is not a daily burden
• You value a one-hand fold that stands on its own when you are managing a child at the same time

Worth knowing

• You need a lie-flat bassinet mode for newborn use from the stroller seat itself
• You want a parent-facing seat to keep eye contact with a younger baby
• You lift the stroller into a trunk many times a day or need something light enough for air travel

What we love

• You want fabric chemistry confirmed by an independent lab, not just a brand claim
• You need a stroller that works from the newborn stage thanks to a true lie-flat recline
• You want a reversible seat so a younger baby can face you and an older one can face out
• You walk on cracked sidewalks or rougher ground and want suspension plus never-flat tires

Worth knowing

• You load a stroller into a car several times a day and need something light to lift
• You need a confirmed phthalate-free and PVC-free guarantee before buying, which Nuna does not publish
• You want a fold that stands on its own when collapsed

What we love

• You want a true all-terrain stroller for grass, gravel and curbs with a smooth, well-cushioned ride
• You value a transparent, OEKO-TEX certified chemical story over a brand that stays silent on materials
• You need a stroller that works safely from birth with a lie-flat infant mode and no extra attachments to buy
• You want the strongest restraint available, a 5-point harness, for an active toddler

Worth knowing

• You require an independent lab test of the seat fabric itself before you trust a PFAS-free claim
• You need a parent-facing reversible seat, the Indie faces forward only and the Era is Bumbleride's reversible model
• You want a lightweight travel stroller, 24 pounds is heavier than airline-friendly options

What we love

• You want one premium single-seat stroller that carries a child from birth to toddlerhood
• You value an independent emissions certification like GREENGUARD Gold over an unverified marketing claim
• You push over cracked sidewalks or curbs often and want all-wheel suspension with never-flat tires
• You like to fold the stroller one-handed while holding your child and store it standing upright

Worth knowing

• You need a fabric with an independent lab result confirming it is PFAS-free, which this model does not have
• You lift the stroller in and out of a trunk many times a day and want something lighter than 26.5 pounds
• You need a true newborn lie-flat setup out of the box without buying the separate bassinet accessory
