If you won't be using your stroller too often, many lightweight strollers have similar features, such as fully reclining seats, good back support and seat padding. Because they're smaller and lighter, they're sometimes less stable and durable than full-featured strollers. See our companion report on umbrella strollers.
Travel systems, also known as car-seat/stroller combos, are specialty strollers that either include or support infant car seats (many full-featured strollers can also hold infant car seats). Double strollers, or twin strollers, are exactly that -- strollers made for two children. We address car seat strollers and double strollers in separate reports.
Sport strollers, or jogging strollers, are all-terrain strollers with three large rubber bicycle wheels mounted to a lightweight frame. Some three-wheeled strollers are appropriate for jogging, but many are just sporty-looking everyday strollers. All three-wheeled strollers are better for rough and uneven terrain, but they can be difficult to maneuver and don't fold as compactly as other strollers. See our report on jogging strollers for more information.
