Best Strollers
The Cruz V3 is the pick for most families: 26.5 lb, a one-hand fold, and a seat that reverses. The YOYO3 is the travel pick; the Modes Pramette is the budget pick.
Picks
The Cruz V3 is a full-size stroller that folds like a compact. It weighs 26.5 lb, takes an infant car seat on the frame without adapters, and takes a one-hand fold. The seat reverses and reclines flat for newborns, and a car seat mounts on the frame without adapters.
The basket is the limit: a small diaper bag fits and little else. The $900 list price sits near the top of this comparison. Families who need storage should read the Mockingbird review; frequent flyers should read the YOYO3 review.

From $499
Successor to the YOYO2 at 13.7 lb, folding to cabin size; an early production run was recalled for a parking-brake fault.
JPMA certified
Full review →82
The YOYO3 replaces the Babyzen YOYO2 after Stokke acquired Babyzen. Stokke lists the 6+ stroller at 13.7 lb, folding to 20.5 x 17.3 x 7.1 in, with a basket now rated to 22 lb, double the YOYO2 figure.
An early run was recalled in November 2024 because the parking brake could disengage — serials starting 142AA below 0062239. Check any unit against that range. The fold still takes two hands and a few steps.
Budget pick
From $250
A $250 stroller with a bassinet mode included; its folded footprint is the largest here.

The Modes Pramette costs $250. It includes a bassinet mode that the Cruz V3 and Vista V3 charge extra to match. The seat reverses, and Graco car seats click in without adapters.
Its folded footprint is the largest compared, and the seat fabric is not machine washable. The Chicco Bravo at $50 more is the better buy for most budgets.
