The size and position of the sunshades are also important.

Confortable

The canopy should be large enough to allow shade, and there should be a tray for the parents with two cup holders.

Most parents have a limited amount of storage space, so ensure that the stroller fits in your closet or trunk before you buy it. Also, you should determine the width of any doorways that you'll have to go through with the stroller open. Standard doorways are 30 to 36 inches wide, however some are wider.
