Stroller size comparison, restrictions

There are various types of strollers, but when it comes to stroller sizes, there is no standards as such.

For a long time, the standard single stroller was the most common type of stroller, considered the workhorse of the stroller universe. These come with all the standard features and used to be the go-to buggy for all purposes – running errands, walking around the neighborhood, and even for going on day trips.

However, times have changed. Not only are there various types of strollers, they are also shrinking in sizes, without compromising much on the comfort and usability.

Irrespective of the stroller size, all strollers come with the necessary safety features.

• Check for other features like how easy it is to use and fold up, what kinds of extra features are provided.
