The best stroller when the car does most of the driving

When a car handles most of your outings, the stroller's job description changes: live folded in a trunk, deploy one-handed in a parking lot, take the infant car seat directly, and be cabin-friendly for a flight. The full-size chassis is overkill; the ultra-compact travel stroller is the honest answer.

Our pick takes our recommended infant car seat with no adapters, so the car-to-stroller transfer stays a one-second motion for the whole first year.
