The Chariot Cross

Thule crafted the Chariot Cross for families who aren't content in the to the indoors, and they designed it with a solid construction that allows them to enjoy the outdoors without worrying about their children' safety or comfort. The adjustable suspension of the Chariot lets you customize the ride to suit your child's preferences and readiness to embark on new adventures.

The Chariot Cross is a favorite among joggers because of its smooth ride and agility on all terrains. It is packed with storage space, including a cargo basket that can be compressed to minimize interference with your running stride. It's a great choice for families who prefer to mix outdoor activities as you can use it along with cycling, strolling and ski kits (all sold separately).

One thing that distinguishes the Chariot above other top-rated strollers is its excellent passenger comfort. The seats are well-padded on the sides and shoulders, and passengers can adjust the reclining seats to find the perfect spot for napping or enjoying the scenery. The mesh ventilation on the Chariot lets passengers enjoy a cool breeze which makes it an ideal option for hot weather.

The Chariot also has the benefit of allowing both the front and rear of the seat to recline separately. This is great for older children who may want to stretch or read on long trips. The Chariot Cross has a large rear canopy as well as an observation panel, unlike the D'Lite which only has an uninspiring front panel.

Like other Thule products like other Thule products, the Chariot Cross is simple to assemble. The instructions are straightforward and the process can take 30-45 minutes. It's small enough to gate check on a plane, and folds up compactly for simple transportation to the back of your car.

The only drawback of the Chariot is that it isn't compatible with infant car seats. This may make it less appealing to some parents. If you're searching for a double stroller which can be used with car seat carriers, then you should think about the Joovy Twin Roo+. It's a similar product that can also be used with a wide range of infant car seat brands, but it's a bit more expensive and doesn't provide the same smooth ride as the Chariot.

The Evenflo Pivot Explorer

Evenflo's Pivot All-Terrain Modular Stroller Wagon is perfect for family outings or playground adventures. It's simple to transport your child with ease. This wagon can be transformed into a stroller simply by flipping the handle. It can also be used as a wagon that can accommodate two children as young as five in the front seat or using the car seat adapter. All-terrain wheels can go wherever you want, so it's easy to navigate sidewalks, gravel paths, and other rough terrains.

The Xplore has a huge storage bin as well as a dual-sided snack tray, so you can store snacks, toys and more close at hand. It's also easier to fold and unfold than some other models, though we did find that it took a bit longer than the typical wagon. The color indicator on the visual side will let you know when the wagon has been folded and locked.

If you're looking for a stroller that can handle naptime, this one could be worth the cost. A bassinet is available for babies who are 6 months or younger and the UPF 50+ canopy can be extended from two panels to three by the simple unzip. This will provide greater protection from the sun's harmful ultraviolet radiation. The footwell is also upgraded with more room for active toddlers.

If you don't require a reclining seat for your child, you can replace it with a bench style backrest. This will allow your child to sit higher and better see the surroundings. The Xplore can be used with the majority of infant car seats. This offers convenience and security to everyone in the family.

The 3D Lite

This stroller is an excellent choice for parents seeking a compact, lightweight and affordable travel stroller. Summer Infant's 3D Lite, weighing just over 14 pounds, is their tiniest stroller. The model comes with plenty of features for the young user, including the ability to recline in multiple positions as well as a 5-point safety harness. The 3D Lite offers plenty of storage space and features that are convenient for parents.

This process can take around 4 seconds which is slower than other lightweight 3 wheel buggy strollers we've tested.

In addition, while the Lite is a fantastic travel stroller with a small footprint and a convenient carry strap, it's not able to fold like other strollers we've tested. The Bugaboo Ant and Babyzen YOYO+ fold smaller to fit in airplane overhead bins.

The Lite is not able to be converted into a double stroller and it's not equipped with a ride-along board for older kids.
