Unfortunatley, there is no single best umbrella stroller. They can sell for anywhere between $10 and $800 and range from the ultra cheap to the super luxurious. The best umbrella strollers to consider are:

Chicco C6: (MSRP $69.99) With front and rear suspension your little passenger will have a smooth ride and with shoulder strap and travel bag it's easy to take with you anywhere. At 11lbs it's one of the lightest in the umbrella strollers category.

EvenFlo X-Sport: (MSRP $49.99) Plenty of storage for you, but not the greatest seat for baby.

Graco IPO: (MSRP $89.99) Larger front swivel wheels add to maneuverability, but the price tag and 17lb weight makes it not as good as the Chicco C6.

Maclaren Quest Sport (MSRP $245.99) While very costly, this is the dream umbrella stroller! It weights only 11lbs but can hold a kid up to 55lbs. Loaded with great features and convenient options if you have the money it's a must have.

Even the best umbrella stroller can't carry an infant car seat and should not be used with babies under six months unless they have a reclining seat. They are primary designed for toddlers and due to their size will not offer the same features and accessories as standard strollers
