It must be able to roll over a wide range of surfaces from smooth paved walkways to cobblestone roads and gravel paths.
When we evaluated these strollers we considered the dimensions of their wheels and treads, as well as the overall weight of the stroller when empty. We found that the most compact strollers easily rolled across all our testing surfaces and were easy to maneuver even with a full load.
We also evaluated the capability of these strollers to deal with rough terrain, like grassy areas or gravel at parks.

Seating
A compact single stroller should provide enough space for a growing child but it also needs to be spacious enough to hold an entire basket of items. Choose a seat that reclines, as as a large canopy to ensure that your baby is protected. If you're planning to use car seats with your stroller, make sure to look for adapters that are compatible with your specific model.
