What's the right stroller for you?
Before choosing a stroller, ask yourself a few questions. Who is going for the ride? A newborn? A newborn plus a toddler? Twins? How tall are mom and dad? If there's a height difference, look for height adjustable handles. How often will you be using it? Where will you go? Where will you store it?...On the go all the time? An all-in-one travel system includes an interchangeable car seat, stroller and base, so you can take baby from car to stroller without having to disturb her or his nap. Thinking about having another baby? A growing needs stroller converts to a double stroller if needed. Looking for flexibility and durability?

Do you have an active lifestyle? 3-wheeled strollers with all-terrain wheels provide a smooth ride for baby when you're out jogging. Need the perfect travel companion? Lightweight strollers are cost effective and portable solutions for your on-the-go needs.
Strollers
Shop Babies “R” Us to find the perfect baby stroller for your growing family. Choose from a variety of baby stroller sizes and styles: a travel system that includes a car seat and baby stroller; a lightweight stroller or an umbrella stroller that folds quickly into a compact size to transport in a car trunk or gate-check on an airplane; a jogging stroller for off-road workouts; a double stroller for twins; or a sit and stand stroller for baby and toddler siblings. A quality baby stroller is an important piece of gear: it allows parents and babies to get essential exercise and fresh air together.
Newborn stroller options
When choosing a convertible stroller for a newborn, consider models that either include or are compatible with a convertable car seat: the baby bucket variety that keeps little ones secure with a five-point harness and are safe for babies who can’t yet hold their heads up. Travel systems include a compatible car seat which secures to the stroller; other stroller models often come with conversion kits that allow certain models of baby bucket to attach to the frame. Other newborn strollers or bassinet strollers include a baby cot that allows baby to lay flat as you walk along: a perfect solution for travelling during naps. Think of a classic pram: this is the look, although modern designs generally allow parents to swap out the bassinet and switch it for a seat as baby grows and can sit up unassisted. Often the seat reclines, to allow for baby to fall asleep comfortably.
Best baby strollers for active lifestyle
Explore baby strollers designed to travel off road that allow parents to run with their little ones: a great way for everyone to get daily exercise and fresh air. Jogging models are often three-wheel strollers with shocks, grippy, air-filled tires and a lockable front wheel. Even very young babies can be strapped in and kept dry under a rain-cover – some running models are double strollers that can accommodate twins or siblings. Families that do a lot of travel may want to explore baby stroller and umbrella stroller models that are lightweight and foldable strollers. These types of baby strollers can be packed into a car or other vehicle and gate-checked on the jetway for air travel. Umbrella strollers are also simple, portable, and affordable enough that it makes good sense to buy one to keep at the cabin, or grandparents’ or caregivers’ houses: they’re perfect toddler strollers for vacations and other outings that may involve a lot of walking for little ones.
Versatility is key
Whether you choose classic pram or push chair style, a travel system, or a jogging model, consider how you will use your stroller as baby grows. A 3-in-1 model not only works with a baby bucket car seat, it also works with older babies once they can be strapped into the seat alone. The seat often reclines and is reversible: it can be changed to face either the parent pushing or the front, giving baby a view of the world. There are even luxury wagon stroller models that can be adapted to push like a stroller or pull like a wagon, as well as sit and stand models that offer older siblings a platform to stand on to ride along behind babies.
