Ask any parent who lives in an urban area, and they will tell you that this Baby Jogger City Mini stroller is their best purchase! They are not wrong, though.

This one comes with all the benefits a busy parent would need when their Uber driver impatiently waits for them to fold the stroller!

The City Mini one-hand fold is probably the most significant benefit of the Baby Jogger stroller.

It will allow you to easily fold this stroller and get on the ride as soon as possible. Along with that, there is an adjustable handlebar that accommodates parents of all sizes.

What makes this our best stroller are the wheels!

God knows how unpaved sidewalks in NYC can be, and pretty much anywhere! Therefore, you have to be prepared for all kinds of situations.

With the help of the air-filled three wheels, uneven city streets will no longer be an issue. They will offer a smooth ride so your kid's nap won't be interrupted by bumps on the road.

However, I did find that the storage space basket on this Baby Jogger City Mini stroller is not that great.

Therefore, you will need to bring a shoulder bag or a backpack of your own if you need more accessories.

For a parent who loves long city walks, this is a significant downside as you will need extra diapers, bottles, and other necessities to get through the day.

But, if you do not pile up on carry-on and only bring the must-have stuff, this will not be an issue.

The Baby Jogger stroller is a bit pricey, and it requires extra purchases such as a bassinet and an infant seat adapter so keep that in mind.

The UPPAbaby Vista V2 is yet another double stroller model that got a serious upgrade!

This one is an exceptional pick for many reasons, but one of the features that makes it the best-selling item is the option to convert it from a single to a double.

However, I do have to alert you that the price is pretty steep!

This convertible stroller retails for about $1000, which is a serious investment, so you better know all the pros and cons of this stroller before you buy it.

So, how does it perform for a parent who lives in an urban area? Quite well if you ask me.

The large lockable wheels play a significant part here.

They make walking on gravel and uneven terrain smooth and effortless. You won't even feel like you are riding a stroller with two kids in it!

Oh, and the car seat compatibility is fantastic!

Some car seats like UPPAbaby Mesa work without the car seat adapter, but other ones will require you to use an adapter.

For this kind of price, it's nice to know that it includes a bassinet which is perfect for your youngest one!

In addition, it has a full coverage sun canopy, so you don't have to avoid sunny afternoon walks anymore.

Another city-friendly feature is the seat configuration.

The UPPAbaby Vista stroller offers multiple position adjustability, so when you are taking a walk, you can adjust the car seat to face you, the street, towards or outwards, and many more!

Plus, it has up to 6 recline positions, so your little one can take a nap anytime.

#3. Evenflo Pivot Modular Travel System - Best Travel System Stroller

This Evenflo stroller is a bit more affordable than our previous pick, but let's see how it compares and performs on the city walks!

I always say that if you are going to invest in a stroller, make sure it will follow your child's growth.

There is no reason to purchase an expensive stroller if it's suitable only for infants! This one is a 3-in-1 travel system that will serve you for years to come.

Okay, I do have to stress my favorite feature! This stroller is so stylish!

For mommas who love to color-coordinate your outfits with your little one, this stroller will be the perfect addition!

Plus, the outside is super easy to clean; just wipe it down with a wet paper towel once in a while.

It has multiple seating options, which are something that Baby Jogger City Mini lacks!

If you want to have the opportunity to face the infant car seat as you like it, then this stroller is the best choice!

Oh, and you know the best part?!

It does not require a car seat adapter that is super convenient when switching between the car seat and the stroller.

So if your little one tends to wake up at every little sound, this feature will come in handy, especially when running errands.

If you prefer longer walks, you can quickly turn this stroller into carriage mode by simply converting a toddler seat into a bassinet.

But, again, the choices are limitless, and you won't find a better multifunctional pick for this kind of price.

#4. BOB Gear Revolution Flex 3.0 Jogging Stroller - Ultimate Stroller For Active Parents

Walking daily on rough terrain and unpaved sidewalks, you need this BOB Gear Revolution jogging stroller!

By far, this is one of the ultimate all-terrain strollers I had the chance to try out. Here is why you should consider it.

For starters, you should know that these types of all-terrain strollers are cumbersome.

If you are looking for a more lightweight option, I suggest checking out the Graco Modes Click Connect Stroller.

But, if you want a butter-like walk, then this stroller is a game-changer.

It has swivel wheels that can be switched to fixation mode when using this stroller for running. So you can finally have an active start to your day, all while your little one naps in its stroller.

But, I am not impressed with the two-hand fold system.

It will take you a while to get a hold of the folding system as a whole, which can be frustrating if you are in a rush or live in a building with no elevator!

Since the BOB Revolution Flex is not affordable by any means, I suggest you maybe get a rental and see if this is something you want in a city stroller.

As far as smooth rides go, this one is a win! But the compact fold is nowhere near as good as the Baby Jogger one.

Lastly, I found that this stroller includes some of the best parent-friendly features, such as a large storage basket, phone holder, and an adjustable handlebar!

Next up, we have one of the most lightweight options you can find in city strollers!

If you loved all the previous strollers I reviewed, but your heart is set on something light and compact, and it can be used from birth to toddler, then this Graco Modes Click Connect is your right pick.

For those of you who own an infant car seat, it's compatible with all of the car seats, so you can easily create your very own travel stroller on a budget!

Furthermore, it's a 3-in-1 stroller that both infants and toddlers can use! Its reversible options make it super attractive for parents who appreciate versatile positions.

Plus, you can turn it into an infant carriage for when you are going, making this an exceptional pick for busy parents!

Although the wheels are not all-terrain, they are great for city walks.

But, where Graco surprised us was its performance on snowy days. It works rather well during slopes and soft snow, so you will have no trouble maneuvering it.

If you appreciate a traditional design, this is a suitable choice.

But, if you are looking for a fashionable canopy and a luxurious look, I would pass on this one. It's relatively plain-looking and straightforward, but it gets the job done!

An obvious downside of this Graco stroller is that it's a single design that cannot be converted into a double stroller.

Therefore, if you have a toddler close to the age of your newborn, I would advise considering the UPPAbaby VISTA V2 Stroller.

#6. gb Pockit+ All-Terrain - Best Lightweight And Compact Design

If you already did your research, you would have found that parents rave about the gb Pockit stroller! It is the most lightweight stroller on our list, with incredible features.

Luckily, we have today the upgraded version of the older model that suits all parents who love traveling and urban lifestyles!

The previous version featured an uncomfortable baby seat and a small canopy that simply didn't offer enough shade. However, you won't find that in this new model.

Instead, it has a large sun canopy that protects your little ones from the dangerous UV rays, and its seating is padded and snug.

We need to talk about the most significant advantage: how compact and lightweight this stroller is!

It's easy to maneuver and fold and perfect for plain rides as you can easily store it in the overhead bin.

Plus, it can be converted into a travel system that can be used from day one! But, as you presumed, the car seat is sold separately.

The upgraded model is car seat compatible with Cybex car seats as well as gb baby seats. So, buy the additional car seat adapter, and you are good to go.

The entire design of this stroller is made for parents who are traveling, always on the go, or use public transportation often!

Once you fold it down, you can use the carry strap to carry it to your next destination easily.

The good-old Graco is a trustworthy pick you can't go wrong with, or could you? So let's see how this one performs for city parents on the go!

What makes Graco Verb unique is the Click+Connect option which allows you to easily connect any of the Graco infant car seats, making this a fantastic stroller for the youngest ones!

If you already own a Graco infant car seat, it's even a bigger bonus since you can also use the stroller when your little one is a toddler.

Oh, and did you take a look at the price?! It's pretty amazing, isn't it?

Not only is this the most affordable stroller, but it also includes all the essential features you would usually have to pay extra for.

These include a child tray, parent tray, compact fold, ample storage space, and it also works as an umbrella stroller!

If you are trying to stay on a low budget, this is your best option.

However, I did find a possible downside, especially for taller parents.

The handlebar is fixed at 39 inches and cannot be adjusted to fit you. It's a serious consideration if you are taller and don't want back pain from the walk.

On the other hand, this stroller is made for city streets! It has a fantastic wheel suspension system that will deliver the smooth ride you desire.

Plus, it incorporates a one-hand fold stand-alone system, which is perfect when you wait for an Uber or can't fit the stroller into the elevator.

If you have a toddler and an infant with a significant age gap, you need this stroller for city living!

While your youngest one naps away in their infant seat, the toddler can ride in the bench seat either by sitting or standing! It will give them the independence they need while they enjoy the city walks.

Another version of this sit and stand stroller called Joovy Too Caboose Ultralight costs around $30 more, but it gives you the option to remove the second seat!

If you prefer to have more function and a bonus of a removable seat, then the new version will suit you better.

Apart from that, the two models are not that different.

They both feature exquisite options that a city parent would need during their busy day. Oh, and if you want to use this double stroller as a travel system, you can do so as well.

The only problem is that this kind of design can be bulky.

It will indeed represent a challenge when you catch a cab or a bus or if you live in a complex with no elevator.

The shopping basket is reasonably sized for all of your necessities, but it has one downside.

If your kid sits in the toddler seat, his feet will dangle in the basket, and this can be a serious con if you want to carry as much baby gear as possible.

#9. Thule Urban Glide 2 Jogging Stroller - Best Stroller For NYC

This three-wheeled miracle stroller will impress you!

The Swedish Thule brand is well-known for its high-performing strollers with incredible capabilities that every city living parent needs.

You will notice that the Thule Urban stroller has a high price, but it's for a reason.

On the one hand, it's incredibly stylish with sleek details and reflective sports for better visibility at night.

But, it has a twist-hand brake and suspension wheels, so it's perfect for city walks.

It's also great if you live in a busy city like New York as it is compact and lightweight, making it maneuverable.

You can also use it for jogging, but remember that your kiddo has to have solid head and neck support before using this stroller for jogging.

However, I did find this stroller to work tricky on tight doorways and narrow streets.

Its size is excellent, but it's a bit long, so it might take you some time to learn how to navigate through troublesome areas.

Other than that, the stroller works super smooth on grass, gravel, sand, and unpaved streets.

Also, the length of the stroller may stop you from using public transportation.

As much as the fold system is excellent, fitting the stroller into the buggy section of the bus is not a piece of cake.

Therefore, if you often use public rides, I suggest you opt for the Baby Jogger City Mini instead.

All in all, this is an exceptional stroller with aerodynamic wheel support and robustly built for parents who need extra reassurance that their stroller can handle the busy streets.

The last city stroller on our list is another Joovy model, but it is somewhat different from its competition.

For starters, this is a lighter version of the previous Joovy stroller, and it features a convenient folding system that drastically reduces the size of the stroller!

One of the best features of this Joovy Kooper stroller is that it can be used as a travel system!

It is not common to find such convenience in a lightweight full-size stroller, so the Joovy Kooper is definitely worth your attention.

I was so surprised when I searched which kind of seats are compatible with this stroller!

Plus, the fabric of the seat is fully removable so that it can be washed frequently!

This is a crucial feature as you know how the entire stroller can get dirty from the dusty streets!

So it's essential to keep a fresh and clean environment for our little ones, and that is precisely what this full-size stroller offers.

But, you have to be cautious with uneven terrain.

Although this compact stroller has big wheels, they are significant to maneuver on smooth sidewalks but not so much on bumpy roads.

If you live in a sunny city area, you will appreciate the large sun canopy the most! It is UPF 50 and waterproof, which is a rare quality to find in these strollers.

To take advantage of the total size of this compact stroller, you can remove the child tray! It's included in the price, and you can even fold it in when you need to store the stroller.

Is there a stroller better than UPPAbaby?

The UPPAbaby stroller is quite impressive, but other options are just as quality if you need a budget-friendly dupe model!

For example, our top pick is Baby Jogger City Mini which features almost all of the qualities of the UPPAbaby but for half of the price.

Plus, it has a more significant weight limit, age-range and is lightweight compared to the UPPAbaby.

What is the best luxury city stroller?

The best luxury city stroller is the UPPAbaby VISTA V2 Stroller and Thule Urban Glide 2 Jogging Stroller!

These two are my go-to luxury city strollers that will make everyone turn their heads while you walk down the street!

Not only are they sleek in style, but they also offer a butter-like walk on the city sidewalks and come with great accessories for urban parents.

Which brand stroller is best?

The best brand of strollers is the UPPAbaby and Baby Jogger.

These two brands are your must-have if you live in a city. They are compact, include all the features you should possess in your busy parents living in the "Big Apple"!

Both of the brands offer several strollers that are worth your attention as they are accompanied by an excellent wheel suspension system and lightweight design so you can navigate the streets more accessible.

What stroller does Kardashians use?

Kim's oldest one was noticed riding in the well-known Orbit Baby G2; however, Kardashian babies were proud owners of Nuna Mixx stroller over the years!

Hollywood stars such as Eva Longoria, Kylie Jenner, and others have also been spotted rocking the new Nuna stroller model!

It's an excellent all-terrain, a sleek buggy that offers a perfect snooze during daily walks.

Are strollers allowed on NYC subway?

Yes, strollers are allowed on the New York subway, but I would advise you to pick a foldable and lightweight stroller if you often use the subway.

Subways usually have escalators, and very few of them have elevators, so you must always fold the stroller to carry it easily.

Also, have in mind that subways are often crowded, and nobody wants a full-size stroller taking up space.
