Comfort

One of the most important aspects to take into consideration when selecting a single lightweight stroller is the level of comfort it can provide for both the baby and the parent. The most comfortable models have plenty of cushioning for the seat, a broad selection of recline options (though not a fully-flat position such as a bassinet) and a huge canopy to block sun and wind. These strollers are made to provide a comfortable ride for your little one even on long walks and trips on rough terrains.

This will give the user the ability to use it as a baby carrier and then allow their child to move into the regular seat when they are ready. A good example is the UPPAbaby Minu V2, which comes with a high-quality car seat adaptor and is compatible with the UPPAbaby infant and toddler car seats and bassinets.

This can prevent accidents that are caused by errors made by the user. For instance, if parents don't remember or don't use the brakes consistently.
