The best lightweight stroller to take your baby anywhere

By

When looking at lightweight strollers, there are a few things to consider. First, of course, is just how light are they. If you need to climb five floors to get to your apartment, even an extra 2 or 3 pounds can make a difference. You also want to consider how much space you have and how well the stroller folds. And you want to make sure it travels well. Here are our top picks for the best lightweight stroller.

As you probably know by now, there are many types of strollers. And even more than types, there are just so many models to choose from. It’s really like buying a car. So, you want to do a lot of research and really figure out your needs. That’s why we’re here with some recommendations.
