play00:03

play00:05

sharing what we feel are currently some

play00:07

of the best strollers on the market as

play00:09

we move into 2024 this won't be a

play00:12

comprehensive list of every stroller we

play00:14

recommend for that you can check out our

play00:15

buyers guide if you're interested but I

play00:17

do want to go over a lot of models

play00:19

anyway here and as a result I'm going to

play00:21

Rapid Fire pretty quickly through them

play00:23

so if you'd like more info on any of

play00:25

these models specifically I've linked

play00:27

their full length reviews in the

play00:28

description so let's get stuck in then

play00:31

beginning with the baby n yo-yo 2 which

play00:33

is an awesome pickup if you're looking

play00:35

for a trustworthy and proven Ultra

play00:37

compact in particular for travel that

play00:39

can handle a bit of broken sidewalks and

play00:41

stuff when you need it to has a slim

play00:43

folded profile and that's more

play00:45

comfortable to carry by its shoulder

play00:47

strap than most comparable models out

play00:49

there next up is the boogaboo butterfly

play00:51

which is also quite sturdy though a

play00:53

little chunkier in its folded Dimensions

play00:56

that being said it's also easier to fold

play00:58

has a more accessible shopping basket

play01:00

and has the key defining Factor versus

play01:03

most competitors of maximizing child

play01:05

comfort with its larger than average

play01:07

seat Dimensions extending the age at

play01:09

which a child will have a good napping

play01:11

surface Beyond what's offered by most

play01:13

other travel models moving on we get to

play01:16

the jewels air plus another premium

play01:18

brand Ultra compact that's a tad lighter

play01:21

than the butterfly has a generously long

play01:23

backboard a functional shoulder strap a

play01:26

nicely accessible shopping basket

play01:28

similarly sized Wheels to the yo-yo and

play01:31

though it's arguably a little weaker

play01:32

than either of the previous two

play01:34

strollers comes with a 10-year

play01:36

transferable warranty which is more or

play01:38

less unheard of with other brands next

play01:41

up is the leric influencer and Magic

play01:43

fold which are mechanically the same

play01:46

model and are sturdily and Simply Built

play01:48

quote unquote autof folding options with

play01:51

good siiz seats nearly as large as the

play01:53

butterflies and acceptable terrain

play01:55

capability before moving out of the

play01:57

ultra compact class my two

play01:59

recommendations for Budget models for

play02:01

this video anyway are firstly the airgo

play02:04

baby Metro Plus that has a newborn

play02:06

acceptable recline a very durable

play02:09

chassis an adjustable handle and great

play02:11

seat Dimensions all for a price that's

play02:13

below its manufacturing quality in my

play02:15

opinion and secondly the kindercrafty 2

play02:19

which though being a tad large to call a

play02:21

true Ultra compact is also quite solidly

play02:24

constructed autof folds like the L

play02:26

cleric models also has a newborn

play02:28

acceptable recline and and also has

play02:30

quite generous proportions when it comes

play02:32

to its sitting surface similarly sized

play02:35

to the Newbie in the sense of also being

play02:37

a bit large for an ultra compact is the

play02:39

uppababy minu V2 which is a tad sturdier

play02:42

than all of these models so far as well

play02:44

as being more terrain capable than all

play02:46

of them other than the Newbie and which

play02:48

has the ability of attaching up a baby's

play02:50

overnight approved full-sized bassinet

play02:53

there are several use Arenas where the

play02:55

minu V2 can be a good model to get but

play02:58

among these I'd like to point out that

play02:59

it's one of two strollers that I find

play03:01

widely recommendable for parents

play03:03

specifically looking for a model to keep

play03:05

in the trunk for use with a heavily

play03:07

car-based

play03:08

Lifestyle the other model that I find

play03:10

ideal for this purpose is the Nuna triv

play03:12

next a lightweight reversible seat

play03:14

stroller with a super comfortable

play03:16

folding process folding down to a single

play03:19

slim piece with a seat attached either

play03:21

forwards or reversed that has a decent

play03:23

upright position and a near flat recline

play03:26

and that provides good terrain

play03:27

capability due to wheels that are larger

play03:29

than most other models of its size and

play03:31

weight for parents looking for a

play03:33

small-sized reversible seat stroller for

play03:36

a preferably Less Car intensive

play03:38

lifestyle I have three models to

play03:40

recommend today first being the Cybex

play03:42

mios a very finely and efficiently

play03:44

designed stroller with an easy

play03:46

one-handed one-piece fold provided the

play03:49

seat is facing forwards anyway a newborn

play03:51

acceptable recline a pleasantly

play03:53

lightweight and the option of an all

play03:55

mesh seat that can be quite useful for

play03:57

warmer climates secondly is the Jews Hub

play04:01

plus that's both more durable and

play04:03

terrain capable than the triv next and

play04:05

mios that also has a highly malleable

play04:07

seat frame with a newborn acceptable

play04:09

recline provided that one uses the

play04:11

Cocoon accessory that folds quite

play04:14

compactly as a single piece with a seat

play04:16

facing both forwards and reversed and

play04:18

that lastly has an integrated shoulder

play04:20

strap for easier carrying when needed

play04:23

and thirdly there's the uppababy cruise

play04:25

V2 that's also sturdily built has a

play04:28

super sized and highly accessible

play04:30

shopping basket awesome for shopping

play04:32

groceries at the corner store a much

play04:34

larger than average reversible seat and

play04:37

excellent suspension from here we move

play04:40

on to larger sized reversible seat

play04:41

strollers where the first model I want

play04:43

to give credit to for standing out over

play04:45

the past year is the new version of the

play04:47

balos SL luux which is an excellent

play04:50

full-sized budget model that can also be

play04:52

used from birth due to its flat reclined

play04:55

position has a decently sturdy chassis

play04:57

good shock absorption a nice L

play04:59

accessible shopping basket and the

play05:01

ability to fold down as a single piece

play05:03

with a seat in either facing next up is

play05:06

the cruise V 2's bigger brother the

play05:08

Vista V2 which a lot of people dismiss

play05:11

if they're not interested in its tandem

play05:13

option but which actually functions best

play05:15

as a single child model in my opinion

play05:18

comes with both the seat and bassinet

play05:19

included has a similarly very spacious

play05:22

shopping basket and extra-large seat

play05:25

good durability and decent terrain

play05:27

capability and lastly for these large

play05:29

ler sized reversible seat models for

play05:31

this video at least there's the boogaboo

play05:33

Fox 5 that like the Vista V2 also comes

play05:37

with both the seat and bassinet but

play05:39

which has somewhat better driving

play05:40

characteristics with bigger Wheels

play05:42

better shock absorption overall and a

play05:44

smaller footprint and that also has a

play05:47

couple of folding options that the Vista

play05:49

lacks in the fox's ability to fold down

play05:51

to a single standing piece not just with

play05:54

the seat forwards facing but also

play05:55

reversed as well as with the

play05:57

bassinet all right shifting gears I'm

play06:00

going to move over to three wheelers

play06:02

where two of my favorite hybrid City and

play06:04

off-road use models are the Baby Jogger

play06:06

City Elite 2 and the City Mini GT2 that

play06:10

have more manageably sized Wheels than

play06:12

one finds on a lot of three-wheelers the

play06:14

elite having 12-in wheels and the GT2

play06:16

having 8 and 1/2 as well as somewhat

play06:19

more compact folded sizes on top of this

play06:22

the Elite 2 and the GT2 also have good

play06:24

durability spacious seats and enough

play06:27

terrain capability to cover the majority

play06:29

of what most parents need even in

play06:31

rougher climates with the Elite 2 being

play06:34

naturally a tad better in this respect

play06:36

than the GT2 the other two

play06:38

three-wheelers that I'd like to present

play06:39

today are meant for handling full-on

play06:42

off-roading conditions not that they

play06:43

can't also be decent in the city as well

play06:46

especially if you live somewhere with

play06:47

harsher winters and those are the Uppa

play06:49

baby Ridge which has big wheels strong

play06:52

suspension a dynamic handbrake which can

play06:55

be quite useful for slippery conditions

play06:57

a decent Siz seat with a better upright

play06:59

position than one finds on a lot of

play07:01

three-wheelers and an excellent shopping

play07:03

basket that's both large and easily

play07:05

accessible due to the way it extends off

play07:07

the rear frame the other model is the

play07:10

Thula Urban Glide 2 which has the same

play07:12

large sized Wheels as the ridge also has

play07:15

a dynamic handbrake and decent shock

play07:17

absorption but which is at the same time

play07:20

a little lighter not just than the ridge

play07:22

but also versus most other off-road

play07:24

oriented three-wheelers the urban Glide

play07:27

2 is great as it is though I would note

play07:29

here that the Glide 3 is coming out in

play07:31

the spring which looks to be even better

play07:33

and which will also likely mean sales on

play07:35

the Glide 2 to clear stock moving on to

play07:39

our last category for today I'd like to

play07:41

suggest a couple of two child models the

play07:43

first being the boogaboo donkey 5 which

play07:45

is a super comfortable to use reversible

play07:48

seat two child stroller that can also be

play07:50

contracted horizontally to a somewhat

play07:52

smaller single child configuration the

play07:55

chief advantages with the donkey are

play07:57

that it's easy to access both children

play07:59

at the same time it's easy to swap and

play08:01

combine bassinets car seats and seats

play08:04

for dealing with Children of different

play08:05

ages it has great terrain capability and

play08:09

despite being large when unfolded it can

play08:11

actually be packed down smaller than a

play08:13

lot of comparable strollers by

play08:15

disassembling its various elements

play08:17

flattening the seats or bassinets and

play08:19

telescopically Contracting the chassis

play08:22

the other two child model that I'd like

play08:23

to note today is the Mountain Buggy duet

play08:26

which is great for situations where you

play08:27

need some degree of terrain cap ability

play08:29

and want the equal access to both

play08:31

children that a side by-side stroller

play08:33

brings but also absolutely need a model

play08:36

that's as narrow as possible since the

play08:38

duet is only 63 cm wide which is

play08:41

skinnier even than the Vista for example

play08:43

yet the model still has acceptably size

play08:45

seats an effect that's been achieved by

play08:47

recessing the rear wheels into the rear

play08:49

frame on top of this the duet is also

play08:52

built on Mountain bugg's extra durable

play08:54

off-road oriented chassis design which

play08:56

is in my experience one of the sturdiest

play08:59

chassis ever created in any case we hope
