Bless whoever invented the stroller! The stroller is every parent’s savior when out and about with the little one(s). Can you even imagine for a split second how we would have survived without this brilliant invention? Yeah, me neither.
A stroller is a must-have when you start expanding your family and fortunately, there’s a variety of strollers to choose from – baby strollers with car seats, umbrella strollers for babies, strollers for toddlers. You name it! There’s something for every mama and baby and that in itself is a blessing.
Just like cars, strollers come in different models, sizes and have varied features for a good number of reasons. Some of these reasons include the weight of the child, flexibility (can it grow with your child?), and stroller style or configurations.
Before we get into the anticipated list of the best baby strollers of 2021, let’s give you a run-through of the types of strollers out there.

For mamas who travel often, there are jogging strollers travel system that would ensure that you stay in shape. You’ve got no excuses mama!
- Convertible travel system stroller: If you google ‘luxury strollers for babies’, you would most likely be greeted with pictures and images of convertible travel system strollers. Just like the name depicts, it converts and when/if you have another baby, it would grow with the family. Other convertibles are convertible double strollers and convertible jogging strollers
- Umbrella stroller: This is for mamas who do not like the stress of having to lug a stroller around when your baby isn’t sitting in it. All you have to do fold it up like an umbrella and keep moving. Umbrella strollers are THE lightweight strollers for babies.
