Ten of the Best Strollers for Canadian Parents

A stroller really is a must-have item for those who have a new baby in their lives. Many soon-to-be parents spend an awful lot of time researching the best strollers, so we have decided to save you hours of your time by giving you ten of the best strollers that are available to Canadians right now.

Thule Spring – Best Compact and Light Stroller

This a full-size stroller but it is a lot more compact and lighter than you would imagine. It has comfortable seating, is easy to fold, and is made of quality materials. Due to the fact that it can be compacted, it is a stroller that is suitable for those with limited space. It comes with a deep recline, a large storage bin, and a large canopy.

This stroller is very easy to push, but the wheels are made of plastic which makes it challenging to push on grass and uneven terrain. However, with this being said, the plastic wheels are much better quality than their plastic competitors.

Price on Amazon: $399.95

Pros:

  • Quick and compact fold
  • Reasonable price
  • Lightweight

Cons:

  • Plastic Wheels
  • Not good for off-road

UPPAbaby Cruz v2 – Best Overall Stroller

If we were asked to select a stroller for those who are very concerned with quality, then we would have to go with the UPPAbaby Cruz v2. This stroller is lightweight, simple to use, and is made of very durable material. In addition to this, the Cruz v2 is very compatible with baby car seats, while we also love the large canopy, the big storage basket, and the added suspension.

The wheels on this stroller are quite small though, and their size makes it a bit challenging to travel on uneven surfaces. However, this stroller provides top-quality maneuverability when used on smooth surfaces, which makes it great when doing errands and entering public venues.

Price on Amazon: $699.99

Pros:

  • Top-quality
  • Works well with car seat
  • Great features

Cons:

  • Expensive

Baby Jogger City Mini 2 – Best Multi-Use Budget Stroller

The Baby Jogger City Mini 2 is the stroller that we would recommend to those who are on a bit of a tight budget. The City Mini 2 is a top-quality stroller for adventures that do not include running or take you off-road. It is very simple to use, extremely comfortable, and really good quality. With its giant canopy and large storage basket, it comes with convenient features at terrific value.

This stroller is not for you if you plan to jog with the little one. Additionally, it is not suitable for hiking or using on non-smooth surfaces. However, despite such limitations, it is a top normal day option that is also compatible with a variety of car seats.

Price on Amazon: $195.99

Pros:

  • Budget-friendly
  • Lightweight
  • Easy to fold

Cons:

  • Hard to push
  • Not a jogger

UPPAbaby Vista v2 – Best High-End Stroller

If you do not need to worry about the price tag of a stroller and are looking for a little bit of everything, then the UPPAbaby Vista v2 is one that you should look at. This is a top-quality stroller that can grow with your family because it can be expanded to carry three babies at one.

This stroller is easy to use, stylish, and there is no lack of attention to detail. It comes with a huge storage space and the seats can be reclined for extra comfort. This stroller, despite being quite big, is easy to move and we think that you will enjoy the adjustable handlebar and huge storage area.

Price on Amazon: $1,099.99

Pros:

  • Can fit three children
  • Great storage space
  • Top-quality

Cons:

  • Heavy
  • High price tag

Doona Combo – Best Stroller for City Dwellers

The Doona Combo is actually a stroller and car seat, making it great for those who use public transport often and live in the city. It is important that all combo products are easy to use, and the Doona Combo certainly fits into the easy-to-use category.

This stroller might not be the best option for all families due to its higher price tag, its limited lifespan, and its weight, but it is the best option for city families that might have to otherwise skip using car seats because they are not easy to carry around.

Price on Amazon: $550.00

Pros:

  • Simple to use
  • Great for city living
  • Unique car seat combo

Cons:

  • Heavy car seat
  • Relatively pricey

BabyZen Yoyo2 – Best Umbrella Stroller

This stroller is a lightweight umbrella stroller that comes with a compact fold and is easy to turn a push, which, if truth be told, is something that is rare in the umbrella stroller world. To add to this, it is also sleek and stylish, which is always a plus in our opinion. Although it is a little bit heavier than some of its competitors, it is of much better quality, so do not let the heaviness put you off.

However, it is a bit more expensive than some similar strollers out there, so if you are a family that is on a bit of a tight budget, then you might want to look elsewhere. If the budget is not an issue for you, then the BabyZen Yoyo2 is a standout when it comes to umbrella strollers.

Price on Amazon: $449.00

Pros:

  • Great quality
  • Easy to push
  • Sleek and stylish

Cons:

  • Not easy to nap in
  • Expensive for umbrella stroller

Thule Urban Glide 2 – The Best Jogging Stroller

This stroller is a top-quality jogger that is simple to use, really maneuverable, and lightweight when compared to other joggers. This jogger stroller is a great choice for serious runners as well as those who just like to jog lightly when they are carrying out casual errands. With its covered storage space, comfortable seats, tight turning radius, suspension, and adjustable handlebar, this is a stroller that is great for families that are looking for a double duty stroller and for serious runners.

However, if you do not want to go running or hiking, then this is not the stroller for you since its extra weight and bulk mean that it is harder to stow and lift. With a price that is lower than a lot of its competitors, we really do think that this is an excellent stroller for the more sporting parents.

Price on Amazon: $750.00

Pros:

  • Simple to use
  • Great runner
  • Top-quality

Cons:

  • Longer
  • Bigger fold

Thule Urban Glide 2 – The Best Double Stroller

This stroller is an excellent running crossover for multiple babies and it also works really well as a normal day option for two. We feel that the Thule Urban Glide 2 is a great choice for parents who like spending time outdoors and who need to do errands with two kids.

This stroller is pretty lightweight and very easy to use, and it comes with a large canopy, plenty of storage space, and nap-worthy seats. In addition to these features, the Thule Urban Glide 2 is actually one of the cheapest double strollers out there, so you are getting quality for a pretty decent asking price.

Price on Amazon: $750.00

Pros:

  • Great for all terrains
  • Great jogger
  • Easy to turn and push

Cons:

  • Bulky
  • Only fits one car seat for infants

Baby Trend Expedition Double – Best Economical Trike Stroller

This is an economical stroller for two babies that can be occasionally used for jogging. This stroller is great for those who are searching for a jogger feel and look without the big price tage that often comes with traditional joggers. It has rubber wheels that work well on a variety of terrains as well a locking front wheel that makes it good for jogging. Even if you are not the type of person that jogs, the features it has ensures that it is a great choice for moving on gravel and grass.

This stroller does not come with suspension, so you will want to avoid running with it often. Also it is heavy and bulky, so it is not that suitable when it comes to traveling. It has good storage and a quality canopy to keep the sun off your little ones and has very good maneuverability, making it a great choice for parents on a budget.

Price on Amazon: $215.50

Pros:

• Can occasionally be used for jogging

• Not expensive

• Good on grass and gravel

Cons:

• Not good for serious joggers

• Not suitable for babies less than 8 months

Delta Children LX Side by Side – Best Budget Travel Two-Seater Stroller

This is one the lightest two-seater strollers that you will come across on the market, and it is pretty compact when compared to its competitors. It comes with a very impressive price tag for what you get and it is a great choice for those who travel often via airports.

Obviously, as you can tell from the price tag, the quality of this stroller is not the best and it is not that easy to push it on a surface that is not flat. Despite the above flaws, we feel that this is a great option for parents who want the occasional lightweight stroller for travel and do not care about functionality and extra features.

Price on Amazon: $100.00

Pros:

• Lightweight

• Very competitive price

• Compact

Cons:

• Not easy to turn and push
