A compact stroller ready for another sibling and a New York city life

Elbow • 08 May 2023

Hello,

I live in New York City and am looking for a daily-use stroller for visiting parks, using the subway, doing a bit of shopping, as well as on-the-go napping. I want the option of a bassinet and stroller board for future babies. I need it to be light enough that I can carry it into the subway, and it also needs to have a compact and simple fold. I'm not overly concerned about cost.

We currently have the Nuna TRVL, and I'd love something with a better canopy, more comfortable/supportive seat, and bigger/easier to access basket. We also really don't like that the canopy rests on our hands when it's not extended.

Is this too much to ask of one stroller?

Hey, Albow,

Well, you got a travel stroller, meaning it does have multiple drawbacks because it was made to be so small and compact. What you have right now isn't your usual everyday stroller. I personally wouldn't suggest another travel stroller, but if you would insist on the side that you now have, I would look at the Joolz Aer or the Uppabbay Minu.

Moving on from those super small strollers, also check the Cybex Mios (but that one is not the best with a buggy board, otherwise a very nice pram). I would also strongly suggest something forward-facing and mid-size, e.g. the Baby Jogger City Mini2 which is sturdy yet light and easy & flat-folding. The Thule Spring is also a rather nice choice.

Your -very berry- Eli.
