The best umbrella strollers are lightweight, making them ideal for short trips or vacationing with toddlers. And because they’re so compact, they’re fantastic in tight spaces on the road, in your trunk or in the closet. If you’re in the market for an umbrella stroller here’s what you need to know.
1. Durability. You can find an umbrella stroller for under $20, but if you want it to last longer than your family vacation, choose one that’s durable.
2. Reclining Seat. Using the stroller for trips longer than a quick errand? You might want a stroller with a reclining seat.
3. Folding Mechanism. You want a stroller that is easy fold, and if you can do it with one hand, even better.
4. Storage basket. If you travel light, don’t sweat it. But if you’re like most parents, an extra large storage basket is worth considering, especially when you’re using the stroller on shopping expeditions or vacations.
