Strollers are a must-have baby product to have, and for many new parents, it is one of the first items you’d think of purchasing once you find out you’re expecting! If you’re new to shopping for baby essentials, you may be wondering where to start with buying a pram or stroller.
In this article, we’ll go over some key points of consideration that can help you choose the ideal stroller for you and your little one.
Determine the primary functions of your stroller
Will the stroller be used for you and your partner to take your baby on long walks or light jogs? Will you need it to be large and spacious so it can act as a carrier for when you go grocery shopping? Or would you prefer for it to be foldable and lightweight so you can easily transport it in a car or bus?
There’s never going to be ‘the perfect stroller’ that checks all your boxes. For example,you’ll never find a jogging stroller that is lightweight, nor will you find an ultra-compact cabin sized stroller that doesn’t hurt your wallet.
Your baby stroller is supposed to help you bring your baby around more easily and conveniently, so be sure to pick an option that is functional given your daily lifestyle and needs.
Estimate how long you’d like to use the stroller for
Not all strollers are compatible to be used from birth. Strollers that are suitable for newborns should be able to recline flat, or be compatible with a pram carry cot that allows the infant to lie flat.
Selecting a stroller that can be used from birth, and one that can also be used to accommodate a heavier weight limit (~22 to 25kg, i.e. 3-4+ years old) allows the stroller to be able to be used as your child grows.
Decide on your budget range for your purchase
Of course, it’s natural for all parents to want to give their children the best possible furniture or products. But depending on the model of the stroller you pick, this baby essential can turn out to be pricier than expected. So it’s important to at least have a ballpark figure in mind when shopping for your stroller.
Look for an option within your budget and consider the purchase an investment for yourself and your child.

The Bugaboo Bee 6’s iconic look with its yellow canopy is well-loved all over the world. Besides being stylish, it also has almost all the features that you would expect - an ergonomic seat, smooth suspension, and easy folding. At 9.5kg, it is relatively heavy for a city stroller but is considerably lighter compared to other Bugaboo stroller models out there.

7. Best car seat stroller hybrid: Doona Infant Car Seat Stroller, $689
The Doona Infant Car Seat Stroller is the only car seat in the world with integrated wheels. The wheels fold in easily and instantly, allowing you to conveniently use it as an infant car seat in cars and taxis.
This stroller provides maximum convenience, especially for parents who travel often in taxis and PHVs. However, as this is still predominantly an infant car seat that is usable till your child is about 1 year old, the $689 price tag is relatively steep for a product with 1 year of usage.

8. Best city stroller: UPPAbaby CRUZ V2 Stroller, $1099
The UPPAbaby CRUZ V2 is a nifty city stroller designed with a narrow frame to maneuver through doorways, small aisles, or sidewalks with ease. The shock-absorbing, puncture-proof wheels ensure a bump-free and comfortable ride in parks and off-terrain roads. In addition, the stroller folds away compactly with one hand.

9. Best cabin-sized stroller: Joolz Aer+ Cabin Size Stroller, $759
Having a cabin-sized stroller is severely overrated. For a stroller to be considered cabin-sized, it should be less than 7kg, with the sum of length, width, and height not exceeding 115cm. The Joolz Aer+ Cabin Size Stroller comes in at 6kg and folds up to 105cm.
Being able to be folded to that small size, cabin-sized strollers are usually basic and lack premium features like sturdy stroller back supports, being able to be both forward and backward-facing, and having adjustable handlebars.
Unless you’re frequently jet setting around with your young child, a cabin-sized stroller is not a necessity. Almost all premium airline carriers allow strollers to be checked-in or gate-checked at boarding. That is highly preferred rather than carrying on a stroller which then counts as one piece of carry-on luggage as well.

10. Best affordable stroller: Joie Litetrax 4 DLX Stroller, $529
The Joie Litetrax 4 DLX Stroller is a one-hand compact folding stroller that can be used from birth. Weighing 10.65kg, it is relatively heavy, but at an affordable price of $529, it gets the job done well.

11. Best basic umbrella stroller: Prego S507 Reversible Handle Stroller, $129
At 4.2kg, this is one of the lightest strollers on the market. A basic umbrella stroller, as the name suggests, is one that is stripped of the frills, style, and design, and just does its job. A stroller being ‘too lightweight’ also has its cons, as the stroller’s sturdiness will be compromised.

12. Best high-end stroller: Versace Kids Barocco-Print Stroller, $4700
It’s never too young to own your first premium ride. This stroller from Versace Kids is adorned with the house's Barocco print in gold-tone and black. Looking beyond the signature Versace print, this stroller has good well thought-out features - three reclinable positions, adjustable handlebars and footrests, and even a storage basket shaped like a wearable backpack.

13. Best stroller wagon: Keenz 7S Premium Deluxe Foldable Wagon Stroller, $621
Here’s the perfect wagon to pull your kids and all that barang barang (bags). Combining the best features of a stroller with the utility of a wagon, the Keenz 7S will remain a family staple long after the stroller days are over.
