Best Single Stroller 2024

Parents should prioritize a stroller with a one-handed fold and a lightweight design for ease of use. They also want a sturdy stroller that's free of recalls in recent times and is up to date with safety standards.

Our experts from our lab have tested more than 50 strollers in order to determine the most effective. These top picks are a ideal option for families with only one child.

The UPPAbaby Vista V2 Stroller

The UPPAbaby Vista is a flexible full-size stroller that is able to be adjusted to match your family's needs. It is initially an individual stroller, but can easily be expanded to accommodate one child in the car seat or bassinet and two children using a Rumbleseat or Piggyback riding board (car seats and adapters are sold separately).

This top-ranked stroller has an enormous basket that is easily accessible, and is indisputably the biggest of any stroller available on the market. It's also extremely maneuverable and ultra-sturdy which makes it much easier to push than a lot of strollers I've tried.

The frame is able to stand upright when folded due to its innovative mechanics. This is a huge benefit over most strollers. This feature decreases the footprint of a stroller which makes it easier to store in a small entryway or to fit into a hotel or home.

UPPAbaby has added new features for 2020 to this highly rated stroller. They include a 5-point safety harness which is now a no-rethread harness and a revamped canopy that has increased ventilation and UV protection. The canopy is now wider and longer, and features two vent panels and a fabric extender that can be removed. The suspension on the front wheel has been upgraded with a softer spring and there is now a visual indication that will let you know whether the wheels are locked or not.

Contrary to other popular full-size strollers that only work with specific brands of infant carseats, the Vista is compatible with all UPPAbaby car seat models and includes more than a dozen different configuration options. Moms love that they can begin with Baby in a Bassinet the UPPAbaby Mesa Infant Car Seat or a Toddler's Seat and then add the Rumbleseat Piggyback to make it bigger.

UPPAbaby offers a range of stroller accessories that complement your Vista. They include a baby car seat travel pouch as well as a rain shield, bassinet sun shade and bug screen. The top-rated fabrics of this stroller can be machine washed which is great for children who are messy and dirty!

The Mockingbird Single-to-Double Stroller

The Mockingbird
The Valco Baby Tri Mode Duo X stroller is an excellent option for families that like to jog. It's a bit larger and heavier than other side-by-side strollers that we've reviewed. However, it comes with unique features that make it worth considering. It has a high-performance, cushioned seat and an anti-tipping locking mechanism for safe jogging. It also has a huge storage basket and a foot-friendly brake lever. Similar to other strollers that are side-by-side that are available, this one is able to fit two car seats, but it does have an infant's tray as well as a parent cup holder.
