Mom-Tested: Top Strollers Under $350

The best bargain and mid-range strollers for families

By Shari Becker

We combed the market in search of awesome strollers that wouldn't break the bank. We looked for products that were durable, maneuverable, did what they claimed to do well, and were just plain cool. Whether you're looking for portability or fabulous features, we're confident one of these strollers will meet your needs. Just remember, choosing a stroller is a lot like dating�each one has imperfections, but there's one out there that is just perfect for you.

City Mini

Baby Jogger

Umbrella / all-terrain hybrid stroller

Best for: Moms who enjoy long walks on pavement, but also need portability

Our mom testers said: "It's so easy to close that my preschooler can do it." "This stroller is amazing, can I keep it?"

Why it's a top pick: The City Mini maneuvers like an all-terrain stroller, but is compact and portable like an umbrella. It folds down so easily and can accommodate an infant car seat, and the large sunshade provides excellent sun protection. Our test families wished the handlebar was adjustable, but the combination of form, function, and price make this stroller a winner.

Suggested retail price: $199 (Buy it here.)

Runners Up:
Quinny Zapp: The Quinny Zapp maneuvers like a dream, but the two-step fold requires practice. At $199, this stylish, compact stroller is perfect for traveling. It does not recline, but will hold a Maxi Cosi infant seat.

Valco Buggster: At $325, this small, all-terrain offers luxury features at a mid-range price. An everyday stroller best suited for pavement, the Buggster is exceedingly comfy and stylish.
