10. Easywalker Rudey
- Dimensions when unfolded (L×W×H): 96 × 62 × 110 cm
- Dimensions when folded (L×W×H): 85 × 62 × 36 cm
- Weight with carrycot: 12.1 kg
- Weight with seat: 12.4 kg
- Minimum age of child: from birth
- Maximum child weight: 22 kg
This stroller has a carrycot and a seat unit, and is equipped with a large hood to protect the child from the sun.
It has a spacious, but not overly soft, reclining seat that's easy to seat a child in. The harness is easy to fasten, but adjusting its length and shoulder height can be tricky, as the buckles are difficult to thread through the holes in the backrest.
The Easywalker Rudey handle is thin but comfortable, the brake pedal is easy to press and holds the stroller securely in place.
This model also includes a shopping basket; it's large, sturdy, and well-protected on all sides by high walls. It also has mesh pockets on the back.
The stroller can be folded with one hand, after removing the seat. It locks into place automatically when folded.

9. Phil & Teds Dash
- folding mechanism: book
- wheels: 3 pcs
- Equipment: sun visor
- Child's age: from 6 months, weight up to 20 kg
One of the best strollers for the city, it handles well not only on asphalt but also on rocks and gravel with the front wheel locked. It's maneuverable and easy to turn. However, it struggles on grass and uneven curbs.
Although the manufacturer claims the stroller is suitable for children from birth, experts disagree. The Phil & Teds Dash's backrest isn't level enough to accommodate children under six months.
The seat of this model is large, but not very soft, and the child is protected from the sun and wind by a hood with a viewing window.
The manufacturer didn't consider the placement of the zippers for reclining the seat. A child could reach them and accidentally flip the seat to one side.

8. Joie Versatrax
- folding mechanism: book
- wheels: 4 pcs., rubber, front with locking, swivel
- Accessories: cup holder, adapters for attaching a car seat, sun visor
- child's age: from 6 months, up to 22 kg
- weight: 11.8 kg
A maneuverable stroller with all-wheel drive suspension, large wheels, and the ability to lock the front wheels for more comfortable movement on gravel and crushed stone.
Parents can easily recline the seat, adjust the harness, and fasten the buckle to secure their child in the stroller. The sun canopy is large and has a viewing window. However, it's best not to close it while the baby is sleeping, as the Velcro strap is very noisy.
The footrest is very comfortable
large and convenient shopping basket
The brake holds the stroller securely and is easy to press

makes noise when moving on uneven surfaces
no lock when folded
7. Bugaboo Fox 2
- units included: cradle, stroller unit
- folding mechanism: book
- wheels: 4 pcs., 21.50-30.50 cm, front with locking, swivel
- Equipment: raincover, sun visor
- weight: 12.4 kg
This is one of the most expensive strollers on the market. It has a carrycot and a seat unit, is very maneuverable, and handles well even on uneven surfaces.
The harness adjustments are very simple—just pull the tabs. Both the seat and backrest are soft, so your child will be comfortable even on long walks. The hood, although large, adjusts with a few tugs.
The Bugaboo Fox 2 has two backrest positions, and the second—a very low position—isn't even mentioned in the instructions, but experts have found it. The stroller's handlebar is adjustable to several positions, and the stroller itself is easy to fold with two hands (unfolding is more difficult).
Due to its dimensions and weight, this model is not suitable for transportation on public transport.

6. Baby Jogger City Mini GT 2
- Folding mechanism: book
- Number of wheels: 3
- Number of blocks: one
- Minimum age: 6 months, weight up to 22 kg
One of the most compact strollers fits even in a small trunk. It features a comfortable five-point harness with soft padding, a large canopy with two viewing windows, and a spacious seat.
Users highly praised the Baby Jogger City Mini GT 2's ability to ride on any surface, from gravel and crushed stone to sand and asphalt.
The stroller's handle, although height-adjustable, makes my hands sweat. The awkward handbrake and buttons on the rear wheels, which look like brakes but actually lower the wheels, also raised complaints.
This model does have a storage basket, but it has a built-in metal rod, so it won't hold large purchases.
When folded, the stroller automatically locks into place and stands firmly in an upright position.

- Equipment: raincover, sun visor
- Child's age: from birth, weighing up to 17 kg
- Chassis features: shopping basket, adjustable handle height, front/backward facing unit
- weight: 12.4 kg
One of the best 2-in-1 strollers from a renowned Dutch brand is expensive, but the price is justified by high-quality materials, a smooth ride even on uneven surfaces, and comfort for the child.
The stroller is very easy to place your baby (including facing you), and the seat is soft, spacious, and locks into various positions. The hood features a viewing window so you can keep an eye on your baby while the stroller is in motion.
Experts also praised the Bugaboo Fox for its comfortable handle, easy-to-adjust seat belt, and large basket that holds up to 10 kilograms.
The stroller can only be folded with two hands, and it’s inconvenient to drag it into transport – it’s too heavy and big.

- dimensions (LxWxH): 93x60x101 cm

This sturdy and reliable stroller folds easily with one hand, stands upright when folded, and can be rolled by the handle like a suitcase.
It took the experts just under 4 minutes to assemble, and the only difficulty was attaching the top of the stroller.
If needed, you can attach a bassinet (even facing mother) or a car seat to the stroller. The standard seat is large and comfortable for your child.
Thanks to its large wheels, the Cybex Balios S easily navigates uneven roads, grass and sand.

- Equipment: footmuff, sun visor
- Child's age: from 6 months to 3 years, weighing up to 15 kg
- Chassis features: shopping basket
- stroller weight: 10.2 kg
Need an affordable and high-quality stroller for your child? Consider the Kinderkraft Prime 2-in-1 stroller, which includes a bassinet and seat.
It easily climbs curbs and rides smoothly on both asphalt and uneven roads. Loading and securing your child in the seat is easy: the stroller's bumper bar slides back, and the seat belt buckles snap into place easily. However, there's no way to adjust the shoulder height.
A hood protects the baby from the sun and wind, but the manufacturer made it small, leaving the baby's legs exposed. A shopping basket is also included, but care must be taken to ensure items don't fall out through its low back.

- Equipment: sun visor
- Child's age: from 6 months to 4 years, weighing up to 17 kg
- Chassis features: shopping basket
- stroller weight: 5.9 kg
This lightweight, stylish, and maneuverable stroller assembles in less than a minute. It's easy to maneuver with one hand, and thanks to its large wheels, the Cybex Eezy S easily navigates curbs. However, don't take it to the beach—the wheels get stuck in the sand.
The stroller seat is large and comfortable, ensuring your baby will be comfortable. The sun canopy is not very large and will only protect your baby's head from the sun.
The stroller handle is not height adjustable, but it is comfortable enough to keep your hands from getting tired during long walks.
The lightness and compactness of the Cybex Eezy S allow it to be transported in the trunk of a car and stored in an apartment when folded.

- Equipment: raincover, sun visor
- Child's age: from 6 months to 4 years, weighing up to 17 kg
- stroller weight: 11.2 kg
The best strollers come with both a bassinet and a seat unit. They ride well not only on smooth sidewalks but also on gravel, grass, and even off-road (though they will be a bit bumpy).
To protect your child from the sun, wind and rain, the stroller comes with a canopy and raincover.
Once the child is seated in the stroller, the parent can easily adjust the harness length and shoulder height. Moreover, the child can be positioned not only rear-facing, but also facing the parent.
The experts also praised the Cybex Balios S Lux's convenient handle, the ability to easily fold the stroller with one hand, and the large, comfortable brake pedal.
Due to the weight and dimensions of the stroller, it will be difficult to use it on public transport.
