Strollers
UPPAbaby Vista V3 Stroller
Our take
Tied for BabyGearLab's top score: top-tier build, a huge basket and room to grow from one child to three with add-on seats. It's heavy, folds big and costs a lot.
27.9 lbSingle to tripleBassinet included
Consider instead: UPPAbaby Cruz V3 for the same quality, smaller and cheaper.
Before you buy
Do you need it?Must-have Most families use a stroller daily. Size and weight matter more than features: a huge stroller that doesn't fit your trunk is a common regret.
Cost per monthAbout $33 a month over a typical 36 months of use. Our estimate; your use may be shorter or longer.
Cheaper optionGuava Family Roam Crossover Stroller: About $750, scored 76 (Good).
Secondhand?Fine secondhand. Fine secondhand. Check the brakes and folding locks, and search the model on the CPSC recall list.
TipMeasure your trunk before you buy, and lift the folded stroller in a store if you can.
