Full-featured strollers  are the top choice for the average consumer.

Advantages

• Convenient and versatile.
• Longer warranties and a proven performance record.
• More solid frames, big wheels, shock absorbers for smoother rides.
• Roomier, padded spaces for the child and more storage space.
• Seats often recline for infants and sleeping children.
• Come with a canopy, rain cover, trays, and cup holders.
• Could have a one-handed folding mechanism.
• Some have a platform on which an older child could ride.

Disadvantages

• Can weigh between 20-40 lbs. without accessories.
• Can cost several hundred dollars.
• Don't fold up or move around as easily as simpler strollers.

Extras

• They come in single and double models (tandem). Learn more from the buying guide about tandem strollers.
• Some are designed as a travel system, or they can easily be adapted to fit carriers and car seats.
• There are lightweight "full-featured" strollers, which are less expensive. However, they are not as well-constructed nor do they offer as many features as a traditional stroller. Go to the buying guide on lightweight strollers to find out more.
• Some models come in a three wheel, "jogging stroller" style. Looks alone though are not what it takes to be sufficiently stable for runners. Runners need to find a full-featured stroller specifically geared towards jogging. See the buying guide for jogging strollers for more information.
