The Best Affordable Strollers Under $400

The Baby Jogger City Mini GT2 All-Terrain stroller rings in at just under $400—but with all the bells and whistles of strollers triple the price. While most full-size strollers feature four wheels, this three-wheeled (non-jogger) option meets the mark and checks all the boxes on our must-have list. What’s more, this sleek pick provides uncompromising agility on any terrain thanks to forever-air rubber tires and all-wheel suspension. Parents will love the signature one-hand compact fold, adjustable handlebar and hand-operated parking brake, while littles will be happy about the adjustable calf support and near-flat recline.Pair it with a Baby Jogger infant car seat, or purchase the pram, and you can use it from the get-go (up until the time your not-so-little one weighs 65 pounds!).

Travel system strollers are not an area to skimp on, as you want the included car seat to keep your child safe and secure. Enter the Chicco Viaro travel system, which comes with the highly rated Chicco KeyFit 30 infant car seat included. The stroller is a solid choice too, thanks to a lightweight-but-sturdy frame and easy maneuverability. Together, the two are a win-win.

Heavy on options but light on price, the Graco Ready2Grow double stroller accommodates practically any family situation. This tandem double stroller comes with two stroller seats, a bench seat and a standing platform—plus, it also connects with any Graco car seats, allowing for countless combinations as your children grow.

Cheap double strollers that don’t skimp on quality are hard to find. But the Joovy Scooter x2 manages to have more parent and kid-friendly features than its higher-priced competitors, while still being gentle on your wallet. This side-by-side stroller checks all the important boxes, like multiple seat reclines, adjustable leg rests and a doorway-friendly width, with bonuses like included parent cup holders, kids’ trays and in-seat storage.

We can’t promise the Mountain Buggy Nano will make traveling with little ones totally stress-free, but it will ease some common pain points. This cheap travel stroller is only 13 lbs. and comes with its own custom made satchel that fits into most overhead bins on planes and trains. And despite its super-compact folded size, this travel stroller manages to have an ultra-roomy seat—perfect for children weighing up to 45 pounds. Another favorite feature? The price, which rings in at right around $200.

If you’re looking for a cheap stroller you can take on errands with ease, we’ve got you covered. For a lightweight stroller that doesn’t feel flimsy and is a dream to push, choose the Britax B-Lively stroller. It has all-wheel suspension for a smooth ride (no matter the terrain), an extra-large storage basket to hold all of your things and a quick one-handed fold for when you’re ready to pack it in. It doesn’t hurt that it’s an affordable option too.

Stroller wagons are a great option for parents with toddlers and older children; this one from Baby Trend is a budget-friendly favorite. The Muv Expedition stroller wagon has seating for two (with a three-point harnesses for security), storage for many (including four cup holders, two center pockets and one additional basket), plus a compact flat fold (with wheels that remove with the push of a button).

There’s little not to love about the Summer Infant 3D Lite Convenience Stroller. It’s an umbrella stroller that has a four-position recline, a large storage basket and rear storage pocket, anti-shock front wheels and an included cup holder. What it doesn’t have? A hefty price tag.

Jogging strollers require thick tires and solid suspensions to create a safe and smooth ride for your little one. Unfortunately, these two features often lead to a hefty price tag. But the Chicco Activ3 jogging stroller manages to provide an affordable option without sacrificing performance or safety. Its FlexCore suspension is adjustable via a foot pedal to tackle different terrains, and its large, treaded rubber tires have foam cores to handle bumps with ease. The safety features don’t stop there though: This jogging stroller also features a central console with a hand-operated brake and swivel lock.
