What are your 'stroller requirements'? What do you look out for?

We thought it was really important that the stroller folded up small so it would fit easily in the car. We also went for air tires because they ride nicely even on uneven roads. You can also choose foam rubber tires; the advantage is that they can't get punctured and you don't have to pump them up.

What I personally found essential is that when converting the stroller from a carrycot to a buggy, the baby could face towards you, and later when they're older, face away from you. Hope this helps you !

By the way, we had a Bugaboo Cameleon, a really nice stroller that met all our requirements. The only downside is that I find the carrycot sits quite low; with, for example, a Stokke, it's much higher, but then they don't fold up small.

    Hi.

    I'm not even pregnant yet, but if/when the time comes, we're going for a Mutsy Evo.
    We're mainly looking at the budget.. a Bugaboo Cameleon and a Stokke are super nice, but really too expensive for us.. an Evo is a good alternative. Combination stroller, good height, light and small when folded, can be set in 2 directions, a Maxi-Cos can be attached.. the only downside might be the wheels, they're very flat: no air and no foam but rubber..

    Good luck and shop them

    My partner and I are both tall (both over 1.85m).
    What we ran into was that all baby strollers are so low! You end up completely bent over, which I think looks awkward. In the end, we just fell for the Joolz. Not only is it comfortable to push as a tall person, it’s also super maneuverable! And easy and compact to fold. The only downside is that not a lot of groceries fit in it, but you can buy a separate XL shopping bag for that. So I’d definitely recommend the Joolz! Good luck with your search

    Once with a little one... the Mutsy Evo is amazing! Very compact. Nice and light. And yes, air tires? Not on this one, but it rides wonderfully. Just remember that with air tires, you have to pump them up again. And 9 out of 10 people buy the regular wheels instead of air tires. That’s what I was told. But the Mutsy Evo also has one of the largest shopping baskets underneath Seriously, I can fit my basket diagonally in the Apple cart. Ideal.

    Hi Mippoe,

    I'm 12 weeks pregnant with my first baby
    When it comes to strollers, I'm also quite inexperienced, just like you. My partner and I have already gone to look at some options to see what would suit us.

    So far, we've narrowed it down to Koelstra strollers.
    It's a nice-looking all-in-one, plenty of space for the baby, sporty large wheels for our frequent walks in the woods, and easy to fold up compactly.

    We're still deciding between the Mambo and the Binque. So, 3 wheels vs. 4 wheels – no idea what the clear pros and cons are for each compared to the other.

    I hope our criteria help you out. If you have any tips in this direction, I'd love to hear them! Enjoy your pregnancy!

    Hey, I have a question: which is better, a stroller with or without air tires?
