2025 Baby Stroller Purchase Guide

2025 Baby Stroller Purchase Guide

1. Preparation before purchase

1.1 Clear usage scenarios
Before purchasing a baby stroller, it is crucial to clarify the usage scenarios. According to the China Maternal and Infant Products Consumption Survey, 70% of parents said that they often take their children out, including shopping, walking, traveling and other scenarios. If it is mainly used on flat roads in the city, lightweight strollers can be given priority. Such strollers generally weigh 5-7 kg and are easy to carry and store. For example, the Goodbaby Light Feather Series stroller weighs only 5.5 kg and is compact when folded, and can be easily put into the trunk of a car. If it is often used on uneven roads such as parks and villages, an all-terrain stroller is a good choice. Its tire diameter is usually more than 20 cm and has excellent shock absorption performance. For example, the Beibeijia all-terrain stroller has a tire diameter of 22 cm, which can effectively buffer bumps and make the baby more comfortable.
1.2 Determine the budget range
The budget directly affects the purchase of baby strollers. The prices of baby strollers on the market currently vary greatly, ranging from a few hundred yuan to several thousand yuan. According to market research data, 50% of parents have a budget of 500-1000 yuan, and most strollers at this price can meet basic needs. For example, many strollers from Combe cost around 800 yuan and have functions such as sunshade and adjustable seats. If the budget is 1000-2000 yuan, you can choose a stroller with more functions, such as UPPAbaby Vista, which supports multiple children and can be matched with a variety of accessories to meet the needs of families at different stages. For parents with a budget of more than 2000 yuan and pursuing high-end quality and personalized design, you can choose brands such as Bugaboo, whose strollers are made of high-quality materials, stylish in design, and have excellent handling and comfort, but the price is usually more than 3000 yuan.

2. Brand and quality

2.1 Choose a well-known brand
Choosing a well-known brand to buy a stroller is the key to ensuring product quality and after-sales service. According to data from market research institutions, user satisfaction of strollers from well-known brands is generally high, with an average satisfaction rate of more than 85%. For example, Goodbaby, as a well-known domestic brand of maternal and child products, has outstanding performance in market share for its baby stroller products, accounting for about 30% of the domestic market. The Goodbaby brand focuses on product research and development and innovation, and has more than 500 patented technologies. Its strollers have undergone strict quality inspections in terms of safety, comfort and durability. Another well-known brand, Combi, is favored by parents for its high quality and humanized design. Its products have a market share of up to 40% in Japan and have a wide user base worldwide. Combi's baby strollers use advanced safety technologies, such as a five-point safety belt system, which can effectively protect the safety of babies.
2.2 Check product certification
Checking product certification is an important part of ensuring that the quality of baby strollers meets standards. At present, there are many safety certification standards for baby strollers at home and abroad. In China, baby strollers need to pass the national compulsory product certification (3C certification), which is the basic requirement for products to enter the market. According to relevant statistics, the pass rate of baby stroller products that have passed the 3C certification in terms of safety performance has reached more than 95%. For example, all Goodbaby brand strollers have passed 3C certification and European EN 1888 standard certification, which shows that their products have reached the international advanced level in terms of safety and quality. In addition, the American ASTM F833 standard is also one of the authoritative standards for measuring the safety of strollers. Some international brands such as UPPAbaby's stroller products have passed both ASTM F833 standards and 3C certification. Their products have undergone double testing in terms of safety performance, providing consumers with higher safety guarantees.

3. Function and design
3.1 Seat and sleeping basket design
The seat and sleeping basket design of the stroller are directly related to the comfort and safety of the baby.
The seat adjustment function is one of the key factors. According to consumer feedback, 80% of parents believe that strollers with adjustable seat angles are more convenient to use. For example, the seat angle of the UPPAbaby Vista stroller can be adjusted from upright to lying flat in multiple gears to meet the needs of the baby in different states, whether it is sitting when awake or lying when sleeping.
The seat material is also very important. High-quality seats are usually made of breathable and soft fabrics. For example, the seats of the Goodbaby Light Feather Series strollers are made of skin-friendly cotton fabrics with good breathability, which can effectively prevent babies from sweating when sitting for a long time and keep their skin dry.
The sleeping basket design provides a more spacious and comfortable resting space for babies. The sleeping basket equipped with the Beibeijia all-terrain stroller is larger in size, with a length, width and height of 70 cm, 40 cm and 30 cm respectively, which can accommodate babies to stretch their bodies freely in the car. It is suitable for long-term outdoor travel and allows babies to sleep peacefully in the car.
3.2 Folding and storage function
Folding and storage function is an important consideration for modern families when purchasing baby strollers, which directly affects the portability and storage space of the stroller.
There are various folding methods, and the common ones are one-button folding and multi-step folding. One-button folding strollers are easy and quick to operate, suitable for busy parents. According to market research, 60% of consumers prefer one-button folding strollers. For example, a lightweight stroller from Kangbei can be folded automatically by pressing a button. The whole process takes only 3 seconds, which is convenient for parents to quickly fold the stroller when going out and easily put it in the trunk of a car or on public transportation.
The size and weight after folding are also key. For families who often need to carry strollers when traveling, strollers with small size and light weight after folding are more popular. For example, the Goodbaby Light Feather Series stroller has a folded size of only 40 cm × 30 cm × 20 cm and weighs only 5.5 kg. It can be easily put into the corner of an airplane luggage rack or a car trunk without taking up too much space.
The storage method also needs to be considered. Some strollers are equipped with storage bags or hooks for parents to store small items. The frame of the UPPAbaby Vista stroller is equipped with multiple storage bags and hooks, which can be used to place diapers, toys, water cups and other items, making it convenient for parents to take them at any time, and also making the stroller more tidy and orderly.
3.3 Wheels and shock absorption performance
The wheels and shock absorption performance determine the driving stability and riding comfort of the stroller under different road conditions.
The material and size of the wheels affect the durability and passability of the stroller. Generally speaking, wheels with larger diameters can better cope with uneven roads. For example, the tires of the Beibeijia all-terrain stroller have a diameter of 22 cm and are made of wear-resistant rubber. They not only have good grip, but also effectively reduce the bumpy feeling, and can run smoothly even on gravel roads in parks or muddy roads in the countryside.
The shock absorption system is the key to improving riding comfort. According to the test of professional evaluation agencies, strollers equipped with independent shock absorption systems have a 30% higher shock absorption effect than ordinary strollers. The Goodbaby Light Feather Series stroller adopts a four-wheel independent shock absorption system. Each wheel can independently absorb the vibration of the road, ensuring that the baby will not be frightened by bumps in the car, providing a smooth and comfortable riding experience for the baby.
The steering flexibility of the wheel is also important. Flexible steering wheels allow parents to control the stroller more easily. For example, the front wheels of the UPPAbaby Vista stroller can rotate 360 ​​degrees and are flexible to turn. Parents can easily control it when walking in narrow spaces or among crowds, which improves the controllability and convenience of the stroller.

4. Safety

4.1 Safety belt and brake system
The safety belt and brake system of a stroller are key components to ensure the safety of the baby.

Safety belt: The function of the safety belt is to fix the baby and prevent it from moving or falling in the stroller. At present, most strollers on the market are equipped with a five-point safety belt, which includes two shoulder straps, two waist belts and a crotch belt, which can fix the baby's body in all directions. According to tests by professional institutions, the five-point safety belt is 40% higher than the three-point safety belt in terms of fixing effect. For example, the five-point safety belt used in Combi's stroller has a width of 5 cm for the shoulder straps and waist belt, which can effectively disperse the force and avoid oppression on the baby's body. At the same time, it can firmly fix the baby in emergency braking or bumps to ensure its safety.

Braking system: The braking system is an important device to prevent the stroller from sliding accidentally. According to consumer feedback, 90% of parents believe that a reliable braking system is an important consideration when purchasing a stroller. Common braking systems include one-foot brake and independent wheel brake. One-foot brake is easy to operate. Just step on it lightly and all four wheels will be locked at the same time. It is suitable for quickly fixing the stroller when shopping or stopping. For example, many strollers of Goodbaby use one-foot brake system, which is responsive and has a short braking distance. Independent wheel brakes require pressing the brake device of each wheel separately. Although the operation is relatively complicated, the braking effect is more stable and suitable for use on uneven roads or slopes. For example, the independent wheel brakes equipped with UPPAbaby Vista stroller can lock each wheel independently, ensuring that the stroller will not slide even on a slope, providing a stable and safe guarantee for the baby.
4.2 Material and environmental protection standards
The material and environmental protection standards of baby strollers are directly related to the health of the baby.
Material: High-quality baby strollers usually use high-strength, lightweight and durable materials. For example, the frame material is mostly made of aluminum alloy, which is not only light in weight, but also has good corrosion resistance and load-bearing capacity. According to material test data, the load-bearing capacity of aluminum alloy frame is 20% higher than that of ordinary steel frame, and the weight is reduced by about 30%. The seats and sleeping baskets are mostly made of skin-friendly cotton or breathable mesh materials. These materials are soft, comfortable, and breathable. They can effectively prevent babies from sweating when sitting for a long time and keep their skin dry. For example, the seats of the Goodbaby Light Feather Series strollers are made of skin-friendly cotton fabrics. After multiple friction tests, their wear resistance and skin-friendliness have reached the industry-leading level.
Environmental standards: The environmental standards of baby strollers are equally important, especially for the baby's skin and respiratory health. At present, there are strict environmental standards both domestically and internationally to regulate the production of baby strollers. In China, baby strollers need to comply with the relevant requirements of the national mandatory standard GB 6675-2014 "Toy Safety", which clearly stipulates the limit of harmful substances and combustion performance of strollers. According to relevant statistics, the qualified rate of baby stroller products that have passed environmental protection tests in terms of harmful substance content has reached more than 98%. For example, the baby strollers of the Goodbaby brand strictly follow environmental protection standards during the production process. Its products have passed national environmental protection tests and obtained the EU CE certification, which shows that its products have reached international advanced levels in terms of environmental protection performance. In addition, some high-end brands such as Bugaboo also use non-toxic, odorless environmentally friendly plastics and natural rubber and other materials to further ensure the environmental protection and safety of the products.

5. Comfort

5.1 Seat and backrest material
The seat and backrest material of a stroller plays a vital role in the comfort of the baby. According to consumer feedback, 85% of parents believe that the softness and breathability of the seat and backrest materials are important considerations when purchasing. High-quality strollers are usually made of skin-friendly cotton or breathable mesh. For example, the seat cushion of the Goodbaby Light Feather Series stroller is made of skin-friendly cotton fabric. After multiple friction tests, its wear resistance and skin-friendliness have reached the industry-leading level, which can effectively prevent the baby from sweating during long-term riding and keep the skin dry. The UPPAbaby Vista stroller is made of breathable mesh material, which is not only breathable, but also provides a more comfortable riding experience for the baby in hot weather. In addition, some high-end strollers will also add memory foam to the seat and backrest. This material can fit the baby's body shape, provide better support and comfort, and reduce the pressure on the baby's body from long-term riding.
5.2 Sunshade and ventilation design
Sunshade and ventilation design are important factors to ensure the comfort of babies when they are sitting in a stroller outdoors. According to data from market research institutions, 90% of parents will consider sunshade and ventilation functions when purchasing baby strollers. The size and material of the sunshade are key. For example, many strollers of Kangbei are equipped with large sunshades that can effectively block ultraviolet rays. The sunshades are made of fabrics with a high sun protection factor, with a UPF value of up to 50+, which can block more than 98% of ultraviolet rays and provide good sun protection for babies. At the same time, the design of the sunshade should also be easy to operate. The sunshades of some strollers can be adjusted in multiple gears, which is convenient for parents to adjust according to the intensity of sunlight and the needs of the baby. The ventilation design is mainly reflected in the breathability of the seat and the sunshade. For example, the seat of the Goodbaby Light Feather Series stroller is made of breathable mesh, which can effectively promote air circulation and reduce baby sweating in hot weather. In addition, the sunshade of some strollers is also designed with air holes, which further enhances the ventilation effect, allowing the baby to breathe fresh air in the car and stay comfortable.

6. Applicable age and growth
6.1 Suitable for newborns and older babies
The applicable age range of baby strollers is one of the important considerations for parents when purchasing. According to data from market research institutions, 60% of parents hope that the baby stroller they buy can be used from the newborn period to the baby's older age. For newborns, the sleeping basket function of the stroller is very important. For example, the sleeping basket equipped with the Beibeijia all-terrain stroller is larger, with a length, width and height of 70 cm, 40 cm and 30 cm respectively, which can accommodate newborns to lie comfortably in the car. The sleeping basket is also equipped with an adjustable sunshade and vents to provide a safe and comfortable resting environment for newborns. For older babies, the seat adjustment function and controllability of the stroller are more important. The seat angle of the UPPAbaby Vista stroller can be adjusted from upright to flat in multiple levels, which is suitable for the needs of older babies in different states. The front wheels of the stroller can rotate 360 ​​degrees and are flexible in steering. Parents can easily control it when taking older babies out, even in narrow spaces or in crowds.
6.2 Multi-stage use function
Baby strollers with multi-stage use functions can better meet the different needs of babies during their growth and improve the cost-effectiveness of strollers. For example, the Goodbaby Light Feather series stroller supports multiple use modes. The sleeping basket mode can be used during the newborn period. As the baby grows, it can be switched to the seat mode. The seat angle can be adjusted to meet the different needs of the baby's sitting and lying positions. In addition, some high-end strollers are also scalable. For example, the UPPAbaby Vista stroller supports multi-child use and can be equipped with a variety of accessories, such as infant car safety seats, baby carriers, etc., to meet the needs of families at different stages. This multi-stage use function not only extends the service life of the stroller, but also saves parents the cost of purchasing multiple strollers. According to consumer feedback, the user satisfaction rate of strollers with multi-stage use functions is as high as 90%. Parents believe that this type of stroller can better adapt to the growth and changes of the baby and is a practical choice for family parenting.

For example, the Goodbaby brand provides a 2-year warranty, covering the main components of the stroller, such as the frame, wheels, and safety belts. During the warranty period, damage caused by product quality problems can be repaired or replaced free of charge, which provides strong protection for consumers.
Repair service: Some brands also provide door-to-door repair services.

This policy makes consumers more assured when purchasing and reduces the risk of purchase.
Customer service response speed: The response speed of customer service is also an important indicator of after-sales service.
