Call it a stroller, buggy, pram, pushchair or what you will, this set of wheels will be the most important one in your life for some years to come! From Chicco to Stokke BABYZEN YOYO2, Combi, Bugaboo, Cybex and many more, there are many great toddler and baby strollers to choose from in Hong Kong!
A baby stroller is often one of the most essential baby purchases you will make as a parent. Just as each baby is different, so is each stroller and the ‘stroller-needs’ of every family. They are critical in your baby’s early years (and even later when you’re dealing with a tired toddler or pre-schooler!). If you are a mum who plans well in advance, we would advise you to try using a few options (the new mums in your baby due date club would love it if you offer to push their bub around!). From lightweight umbrellas and buggies to complete heavy-duty travel systems, narrow city strollers to big, twin or combi buggies and many more, find the stroller that is right for you.

Points To Consider While Choosing A Stroller
How do you know which pram is suitable for you? There are a few factors to keep in mind:
For what ages is it suitable and is it newborn-compatible?
Newborns need to lie flat and strollers meant for them have to recline completely. If you’re in the market for a stroller for a toddler who only needs it for a quick nap on a hot day, an umbrella stroller that doesn’t recline much should work well.
How easy is it to fold the stroller?
Ease of foldability is an important deciding factor, especially in Hong Kong, when you need to navigate public transport. The size the stroller folds down to matters as well. Get used to terms like one-hand fold, compact fold, cabin-fold (for flights), etc. and watch videos to understand how your chosen stroller scores in this department.
How heavy is it to carry?
The weight of the stroller matters if you walk a lot in Hong Kong. While a heavier stroller usually means a less bumpy ride for your baby, it’s a nightmare at MTR exits that don’t have lifts.
Does it allow you to attach a car seat?
If you own a car or take a lot of taxis, it’s good to get a stroller that’s car seat-compatible. Also, if you travel home frequently where car seat laws are stricter than in Hong Kong.
Can you attach a buggy board to it?
Planning a second (or third) baby? You might want to check if a buggy board can be added on to your stroller.
Does it have storage?
Having a baby means carrying food, diapers, a changing mat and a whole lot more. A good stroller should be able to accommodate all of that, along with your weekly grocery bags!
How much does it cost?
This plays a key role in your decision. Do keep an eye out for second-hand strollers that come up for sale on Facebook groups and in your baby groups.
There are some non-negotiable factors while choosing a stroller, like safety of the buckling system, manoeuvrability and sturdiness. There are other factors too, like how long you plan to use the stroller, but it’s always a possibility that your baby has different plans from you! Keeping whatever is possible to plan in advance, we’ve spoken to different mums around town and lined up our favourite baby strollers in Hong Kong!
