With so many strollers (and types of strollers!) out there, deciding which one to buy can be more than a little overwhelming. There's lots to consider, from size and weight to the features and functions that will impact you every day as you're getting around. Pram Stroller 3 In 1

If you're looking for a lightweight, narrow-profile stroller that folds up small, quickly and easily, an umbrella stroller is your best bet. The best umbrella strollers are great for navigating public transit, busy sidewalks and narrow store aisles. Plus, they're ideal for travel. Curved handles on traditional models fold up long and narrow, but that's changing a bit, with some more modern models folding into a compact square shape. Many styles feature a reclining seat, which is great for napping, though most don't recline flat for infants under three to six months old.

To make choosing an umbrella stroller easier, we put a wide range of models to the test to bring you a list of the best ones out there. We tested each stroller in our lab and asked parent testers to try them out at home so we could get real-life feedback to assess the quality, ease of use and value for money. We looked at all the big and little things that matter most to parents, including how easy it is to buckle a child in, how well each stroller maneuvers, the sturdiness of the frame, fabric quality, size and access to the storage basket. We also considered how straight the stroller rolls, ease of folding and unfolding, and simplicity of cleaning. Here are the best umbrella strollers, which made the cut to get the Today's Parent Approved seal.
