Top 3 Compact City Strollers: Our Staff Picks

Living in the city is amazing, everything is always close by and accessible But taking your baby in and out of the car to just drive to a place withing walking distance is a hassle. If everything is close by you will probably need a nice city stroller to provide yourself with an ease of strolling. 

What is a city stroller? 

A city stroller is a lightweight compact stroller that provides you with easy accessibility of taking it in and out of an Uber or taxi. They are also great strollers for busy crowded streets or shopping malls and stores to maneuver through crowds easily without hassle.
