Single Strollers

A single stroller is the daily workhorse of city parenting: the ride that handles the school run, the grocery loop, the park lap, and the airport sprint. This collection brings together the brands urban and suburban parents actually trust, Nuna, UPPAbaby, Silver Cross, Bugaboo, CYBEX, Stokke, Joolz, and Bumbleride, in one place, with the specs and configurations you need to choose well the first time.

What you'll find in the single stroller collection

Every chassis here is a single-seat baby stroller built for one child, with the option to grow into a toddler seat. Filter by lifestyle:

Compact strollers for city living: one-hand folds that fit overhead bins, apartment closets, and the trunk of a sedan. Look for sub-20-pound frames and a folded footprint under 22 inches wide.
Luxury strollers for frequent travelers: airline-friendly carry-on dimensions, magnesium frames, and travel bags included with select models.
Full-size single strollers: larger canopies, plush seats, extended recline, and bassinet compatibility for newborns.
All-terrain and jogging single strollers: air-filled or foam-core tires, suspension systems, and locking front wheels for trail days and beach walks.
Travel system-ready strollers: chassis that click directly into an infant car seat from Nuna, CYBEX, Maxi-Cosi, or UPPAbaby, no adapters fuss.

Who this collection is for

If you live in a fifth-floor walk-up, a brownstone, or a high-rise with a tight elevator, prioritize compact folds and standing folds. If you commute by car and run weekend errands in the suburbs, prioritize cargo basket capacity (look for 20+ pounds) and a smooth one-hand recline. If you fly more than twice a year with a baby, prioritize gate-checkable folds and included travel bags. New parents shopping their first baby gear setup should plan the stroller, infant car seat, and bassinet as one system from the start.

Newborn-ready from day one

Most single strollers in this collection accept a bassinet or an infant car seat for use from birth. Pair your chassis with an infant car seat for a true travel system, or add a soft bassinet for flat-lay napping on long walks. From around six months, the toddler seat takes over and rides through age three or four, depending on the model's weight rating (typically 45 to 55 pounds).

How to choose a single stroller

Folded dimensions: measure your trunk and your closet before you buy. Compact strollers fold to roughly 13 x 22 x 21 inches; full-size strollers can run 30+ inches long.
Stroller weight: under 17 pounds is genuinely lightweight; 20 to 25 pounds is standard for full-size frames.
Wheel type: foam-filled wheels handle city curbs and never go flat. Air-filled tires are best for gravel, grass, and jogging.
Recline and canopy: a near-flat recline plus a UPF 50+ extendable canopy keeps newborns comfortable on long outings.
Car seat compatibility: confirm the adapter set for your specific infant car seat brand before ordering.

Frequently asked questions

What is the best single stroller for city living? Look for a sub-17-pound frame, a one-hand standing fold, foam-filled wheels, and a folded width under 22 inches. Most compact city strollers in this collection meet carry-on size for major airlines.

Can a single stroller be used from birth? Yes. Pair the chassis with a compatible bassinet or click in an infant car seat. Both options give newborns a flat or semi-reclined position until they can sit upright around six months.

How long can my child use a single stroller? Most frames carry a toddler up to 45 to 55 pounds, which covers the average child through age three or four.

Is a single stroller good for frequent travelers? The luxury travel strollers in this collection fold small enough for overhead bins on most airlines, include travel bags, and pop open with one hand at the gate.

Single stroller vs. travel system, what's the difference? A single stroller is the chassis and toddler seat. A travel system adds an infant car seat and adapters so you can move a sleeping baby from car to stroller without unbuckling.

How to make a single stroller into a double?

To convert a single stroller into a double, use a compatible stroller board or second seat kit, if available. Ensure the stroller model supports these attachments, as not all single strollers can be converted. Always follow manufacturer instructions for safe installation.

What should I consider when choosing a single stroller?

When choosing a single stroller, consider factors such as the stroller's durability, comfort, ease of use, and whether it suits your lifestyle. Look for options that can grow with your child, like those that transition from infant to toddler, and check for features like storage capacity, sunshade, and compatibility with car seats.

How do I ensure my stroller is safe for my baby?

To ensure your stroller is safe for your baby, always check for safety features such as a five-point harness, locking wheels, and a sturdy frame. Regularly inspect the stroller for wear and tear, and follow the manufacturer's guidelines for weight limits and usage instructions.
