A baby stroller keeps you and your tiny partner in crime on the move and ready for any adventure that comes your way! To keep things rolling, you’ll want to choose the perfect stroller complete with all the features your family needs.
If you’re not sure how to sift through the many stroller options on the market, keep reading. We’ll discuss two important factors to consider and share a variety of stroller features to look for when you shop.
Baby stroller buying: factors to consider
Your baby stroller becomes a big part of your life! Strollers — just like families — come in all shapes and sizes, and it’s important for your stroller to suit your unique needs.
The size of your family
Whether you opt for a single stroller or a double stroller will depend on how many kids you have. If you have one, a single stroller will do the trick.
That said, some parents who plan to have more children in the future opt for a stroller that can convert from a seat for one (with storage galore) to a double stroller later. And, of course, if you already have two kids or are expecting twins, a double stroller is in your future for sure.
You’ll also need to consider the ages of your children. For example, a double stroller configuration for twins is not always the same as a double stroller for kids of different ages.
Your lifestyle
The second important factor to consider when choosing a stroller is your lifestyle — for example, whether you live in the city or the country, walk or drive more, or love the cityscape or the woods.
Here are a few questions to think about:
- Where do you typically walk?
- Do you need an all-terrain stroller for walks in the woods or on snowy days?
- Will the stroller need to be folded and transported?
- Do you need to be able to squeeze through slim doorways?
Answering these questions will help you decide what type of stroller you need and which features (such as suspension, wheel durability, and foldability) are must-haves for your family.
Once you’ve decided if you’re opting for a double stroller or a single stroller and what type of stroller you need, you’re ready to look at the smaller details, so let’s dive in!
Baby stroller features: What to look for
Age-appropriate options
For a stroller that changes and grows with your baby, look for one that allows you to easily switch seats while keeping the same stroller base. This way your baby can rest in a bassinet or car seat-style seat and, when they grow, seamlessly transition to an upright seat.

Maneuverability
It doesn’t matter if you’re wheeling through crowded streets or across wooded paths — maneuverability is key to getting out there for every adventure! Look for a stroller with a smooth ride that’s easy as pie for you to push.
All of the Luqu strollers also offer an adjustable handlebar to make things easy on you and as comfortable as possible.

Sun and rain protection
Come rain or shine, your partner in crime is ready to go. Your stroller should be, too. Make sure the stroller you’re considering comes with rain covers and sun canopies that can be attached and detached as needed.
Easy access to snacks and drinks
Speaking of keeping the essentials close by, we’d consider snacks and drinks while you stroll essential for both you and your tiny one!
For the best experience and no grumbly tummies, opt for a stroller that comes with a built-in or attachable snack tray for your toddler and a cup holder for you.
Washable parts
Last but certainly not least, a great stroller is one that’s easy to keep clean. We recommend choosing one with washable fabric so you can simply wipe it down, wash the fabric, and let it all air-dry.
