How to Choose a Stroller: The Four Questions That Decide It
Where you walk, how you travel, how many children, and your car boot — answered with the eight strollers we tested.
1. Where will it be pushed?
Pavement and shops: any full-size or the YOYO2. Gravel, grass, cobbles: the Vista, Fox 5, GT2 or the Thule. Running: Thule Urban Glide 3 only.
2. How will it travel?
Flying often: BABYZEN YOYO2 (cabin size). Car every day: check the folded size against your boot — the Vista filled our Civic; the GT2 and MIXX next left room.
3. How many children?
Two within three years: Vista V3 or Mockingbird (second seat). One: everything else.
4. Newborn?
Bassinet included: Vista, Fox 5. Flat-lying seat: MIXX next, Pramette. Car seat on an adapter: all of them.
Then price
GT2 at $400 covers most families. Above that you are buying ride, finish, a bassinet or a second seat.
