With the weather being so kind and generous around here, we have been spending a lot of time outside. Strolling in the park, walking through lakesides, exploring a new fest in town, and not forgetting our multiple trips to New York City recently. All these moments have made me appreciate our little and easy to handle umbrella stroller all the more that we have been carrying along with us everywhere. I can't imagine walking through the busy NYC streets without a care of where my little girl was as she enjoyed watching everyone pass by her on the street while being comfortably snuggled in her stroller with her bunny.
I still remember a year back when it was time for us to make the move from the baby stroller to an umbrella stroller, I walked into the kid store to only be tempted into buying each and every fancy stroller out there. I was lured by their fancy looks, big sturdy wheels and so much space that I had no idea as to what exactly I was looking to buy. But I am glad that my husband, Mayank bought some sense out in me and we ended up buying a lightweight and easy to handle umbrella stroller which has worked really well with our daily lifestyle as well as our long travels.
Hoping that you (my readers) don’t get the same lost and tempted feeling when you walk into a store filled with umbrella strollers, I wanted to create this guide of the best umbrella strollers out there based on their best features that can help you decide as to which one will suit your lifestyle the best.
