Comfort

One of the most important factors to take into consideration when selecting a single lightweight stroller is the level of comfort it offers for both parents and babies. The best single stroller models have ample padding on the seat, a range of recline positions (though not completely flat like the bassinet) and a huge canopy that blocks wind and sun. These strollers provide an enjoyable ride, even for long strolls or trips across rough terrains.

If you're looking for an option that is more flexible then you should look at a travel stroller that can accommodate a bassinet, or an infant car seat. This allows them to use the stroller as a baby carrier, and then transition the child into a regular seat when they're ready. One good example is the UPPAbaby Minu version 2, which has an adaptor for car seats that is of high-quality and is compatible with the infant and toddler carseats of UPPAbaby and bassinets.

This will help avoid accidents caused by mistakes made by the user. For example, when parents aren't paying attention or don't apply the brakes correctly.
