How to Choose the Right Type of Stroller For Your Family

Choosing the right baby stroller for your family can be as daunting as picking the right car. They come in different shapes, sizes, and colours, understanding your lifestyle and needs can help to narrow down your decision-making better. Amongst the different criteria to consider when choosing one, such as the size and features, it is important to note that safety and comfort are the utmost priority.

Factors to consider when shopping for a baby stroller:

1. Size


The size of the stroller matters, as it is an accessory you would see yourself travelling to and fro places with your baby. You would have to consider if you are comfortable with a big-sized one for its luxurious touch, or a smaller-sized one that is easy to carry and manage.


2. Lifestyle


Some strollers, such as the Thule Urban Glide 3, are designed with all-terrain wheels for rigorous activities such as hiking or jogging. Meanwhile, the Hauck Eagle Colibri, with its smaller wheels and frame, is best designed for maneuverability around shopping malls on a day-to-day basis.


3. Durability


As with other baby products and furniture, we usually recommend getting a product that grows with your child. Our series of Hauck strollers can be used from birth to a maximum of 25kg, approximately the average weight of a 4 to 5 years old child. 


4. Foldability


A one-hand fold stroller is not the same as an easy-to-fold one, and each folding feature has its own advantages, depending on your preferences.

1. Lightweight Reversible Everyday Baby Stroller: Eagle 4S Colibri

When it comes to finding the perfect everyday stroller, parents often prioritise a balance of functionality, convenience, and durability. The Hauck Eagle 4S Colibri has quickly become a favourite among families due to its exceptionally lightweight design. Weighing just 6.9kg, it’s one of the lightest on the market, making it perfect for daily use. Its standout feature is the ability to fold easily, whether the seat is parent-facing or forward-facing—an uncommon convenience among strollers. Suitable from birth and supporting up to 25kg (approximately 4-5 years old), the Eagle 4S Colibri is not just practical but a worthwhile long-term investment.

2. All-Terrain Jogging Stroller: Urban Glide 3

If you are a parent with an active lifestyle looking to maintain your fitness routine while spending quality time with your children, the Thule Urban Glide 3 is sure to check your boxes. Jogging strollers like the Urban Glide 3, are specially designed with parents like you in mind featuring larger, air-filled tires, and advanced suspension systems that absorb shocks and ensures a smooth ride across various terrains. Its streamlined design allows you to stay active without sacrificing comfort for you or your little one, making it ideal for fitness-focused parents who want to bring their children along on their outdoor adventures.

3. Compact Travel-friendly Baby Stroller: Joolz Aer+

For frequent travelers or those seeking a travel-friendly stroller, the Joolz Aer+ is an option you might want to consider. This lightweight stroller is designed with the ease of travel in mind, weighing just 6kg, making it incredibly easy to bring around on your adventures. Its one-hand fold feature adds to its convenience, allowing you to effortlessly fold and unfold the stroller. When folded, it becomes compact enough to fit perfectly in the overhead compartments on planes. So whether you’re exploring the bustling streets of a new city or navigating your way through the busy airport terminals, the Joolz Aer+ is certainly the ideal travel companion. 

4. Reversible Compact City Baby Stroller: UPPAbaby CRUZ V2

Similar to the versatile Hauck Eagle Colibri, the UPPAbaby Cruz V2 is a city stroller designed for everyday convenience. It’s narrow frame makes it easy to navigate through tight spaces like doorways, small aisles, or busy sidewalks. Equipped with shock-absorbing, puncture-proof wheels, the Cruz V2 ensures a smooth and comfortable ride for your little one, even on bumpy terrain. A standout feature of the Cruz V2 is its spacious basket, which holds up to 13kg—perfect for storing all your essentials, whether you're out with your baby or doing a weekly grocery run. However, please note that the Cruz V2 is suitable for use from 6 months onward unless paired with the UPPAbaby Infant Snug Seat (*sold separately).
