If you're searching for the perfect mid-size compact stroller for your family, look no further! We've compiled a list of our favorite compact strollers of 2020 and are ready to go over each one in depth so you can make sure you're choosing the right stroller. From weight to fold size and more, read about the features of city-friendly strollers you should be looking at.

Are you Team Nuna or Team UPPAbaby? It seems like most families have a hard time deciding before buying their strollers, especially when they're looking at single strollers. In the lightweight category the UPPAbaby Cruz V2 and the Nuna Triv are in close competition, although there are many small differences between them. Today we're going over what makes them unique and which lifestyles they suit best!

Bugaboo has recently done something just for the US market - they made a travel system. Partnering with Nuna (another brand in the Netherlands), they created the Bugaboo Turtle - a beautiful car seat that has all the features of the Nuna Pipa (the canopy! the load leg!) but all the benefits of a Bugaboo product (that beautiful clean fabric! white buttons = a function!). The best part - this car seat snaps onto their Lynx with no added car seat adapters. A real, true travel system.

The Bugaboo Fox wheeled its way into our hearts just two short years ago. It filled the need between the Cameleon and the gone too soon Buffalo. It’s a lightweight (~24lbs), all terrain stroller, without the need to switch the handlebar like you do on the Cameleon to put it in “all terrain mode” - the large wheels and robust suspension means it’s always in that mode. The Fox also has the sleep safe bassinet, so you can use your bassinet in your home for overnight sleep. This stroller was an immediate hit - there were waitlists everywhere trying to secure one. 

Like everyone looking for a double stroller, or just... everyone in general, we at Magic Beans have our opinions. And some people’s opinions are stronger than others when it comes to tandem vs side-by-side. I’m team side-by-side and that’s one of the reasons why the Bugaboo Donkey3 is not only my favorite double stroller, it might be my favorite stroller period.

A side-by-side double stroller that can collapse to a single, the Bugaboo Donkey fits through a standard doorway and keeps your baby within arms reach at all times. Want to learn more? Check out the Bugaboo Donkey2 and the new Bugaboo Donkey3 in this blog post!

What a challenging time for the country and so much of the world. Our hearts break for the many, many people who are impacted by COVID-19, both physically and emotionally. Like you, we are trying to figure this out day by day. We have many employees that we need to support, and we want to support you too.

Though it’s technically just an upgraded version of the Silver Cross Jet 2019, the Silver Cross Jet 2020 underwent so many different updates over the past year (sixty-two updates, in fact!) that it seems like a totally new stroller. We’ve been testing out all of the changes here at Magic Beans, and we’ll be the first to say that the brand-new Silver Cross Jet 2020 is most definitely set to impress.

We’re so excited to introduce you to the brand-new Thule Spring 2020, the latest addition to our single stroller lineup. From first glance, it’s clear that the Thule Spring isn’t your typical, run-off-the-mill stroller: in fact, it’s a three-wheeled stroller!
