A stroller for my 3.5 year old to take on city holidays and short trips into town under £200

Ari • 21 Apr 2023

I’m looking for a stroller for my 3.5 year old to take on city holidays and short trips into town, under £200. Ideally, it’d have a big sun canopy, decent storage basket, comfortable ride, and light-weight (easy to take on a train). Thank you!

Hey, Ari,

I personally would go for the Oyster Zero (Gravity) as that is light, practical, but also reasonably spacious for a larger child and with a superb canopy. The Valco Trend would also be a roomy, not heavy option that is flat after folding but can take even such an older toddler. I know these are not the cheapest, however would be also ok ore-owned, and I would definitely suggest checking from used ones. From new ones, a similar could be the Kinderkraft Grande LX which is a but heavier and less sleek, but ok I would say.

I am also gonna suggest checking the Koelstra Simba T4, any Maclaren buggy - as they are rather roomy and nice for such a use (but both of these options have smaller basket as umbrella strollers), and also the Joie Brisk LX.

Your -very berry- Eli.

Now, this is your place to ask. I'm listening.
