Which Baby Stroller is Best for Parents in 2025? A Detailed Comparison

Imagine your ideal baby stroller. What does it look like? It’s probably light enough to fold with one hand while you hold your baby in the other, or maybe it’s got that smooth glide that helps you tackle Indian pavements and roads with ease.

As parents, we want all of the above, the perfect combination of safety and ease of use. Something that fits seamlessly into our daily life, not only looks good but also works great. However, not all strollers are designed the same.

Finding the right stroller can often feel like apartment hunting; some look great online but don’t hold up in real life. Some have gorgeous design and finish, but lack practicality. And just when you think you’ve found the right one, you find hidden leaks.

So if you’re knee-deep in stroller research, scrolling between reviews and YouTube demos at 1 AM, we get it. You’re not alone.

That’s exactly why we put together this detailed comparison, to help you find a stroller that doesn’t just check boxes, but actually fits your lifestyle.

If you’re:

• A first-time parent who’s trying to make sense of all the options

• Someone who plans to travel or step out a lot with their baby

• Looking for a stroller that fits your lifestyle and your home

…this one's for you.

Stroller Models for Comparison

In this blog, we’re comparing the Loopie Hop with some of the most popular strollers that parents in India consider: Nuna Trvl, Joie Tourist, Chicco Bravo, and Silver Cross Clic. We’ll go over everything from foldability to comfort, storage, safety, and price. And yes, we’ll be honest about where Loopie wins and where it doesn’t so that you can make an informed decision.

Technical Stroller Specifications At A Glance

Stroller Safety & Certifications

Let’s talk about the most important aspect of a stroller first: the safety standard & certifications. All five strollers are EN 1888 certified, which means they pass important European safety checks. Furthermore, all of the above models have a 5 Point Safety Harness to keep your little one safe on the go.

That being said, only Loopie Hop, Nuna Trvl & Silver Cross Clic come with a Magnetic Buckle along with the Safety Harness, which makes placing your child in and out of the stroller hassle-free.

Another interesting feature that Loopie Hop offers are the reflector lines on sides for better low light visibility, which enhances the overall safety.

Smoothness & Maneuverability

After safety, the most common questions that parents have is, How easy is it to push the stroller? A stroller might look good, but if it’s a pain to push and steer, you’re not going to love it for long. Most of the strollers perform similar indoors, but you don’t want them to feel flimsy when you’re out on a stroll with your little one.

Nuna Trvl

Pros: Users consistently rave about how effortless Nuna Trvl is to steer. According to Reviewed (USA Today), the TRVL “rolls smoothly thanks to progressive front and rear-wheel suspension..”

The lightweight frame of the stroller also allows parents to turn through corners and tight spaces easily.

Cons: While Nuna feels extremely smooth indoors, users do report that it might feel a little skittish on a slightly rough terrain. A WIRED review points out that, “It doesn't handle bumps well”. Ultimately, its ultra-lightweight feel can be a drawback outdoors, requiring a firmer grip as it can feel twitchy on rough terrain.

Chicco Bravo

Pros: While Chicco Bravo is the heaviest among all the stroller options, it does provide an advantage with the sturdiness and weight distribution. India Today notes its “large wheels with treaded tires” and “all-wheel suspension” offer a smooth stroll, and the stroller's sturdy build aids manoeuvrability.

Cons: Not all reviews are glowing, though. Many users report difficulty while turning and in overall manoeuvrability. A user on Reddit noted, “Forget about single-handed operation; it’s so hard to make even mild turns, even with two hands!” Subsequently, many users have found it difficult to push and keep in a straight line.

Joie Tourist

Pros: Joie Tourist is lightweight and travel-oriented, designed for quick handling, though more in line with smooth surfaces.

Cons: Alhough, people like the general handling of the stroller due to the quick-fold and lesser weight, the small wheels make it less robust outdoors. Another major issue reported by users is the fact that the seat does not go fully upright, which can be uncomfortable for the child.

Silver Cross Clic

Pros: Users have unanimously appreciated the stroller’s compactness, lightness, and one-handed steering. With a total weight of just 5.9 kg, it is quite agile for city life.

Cons: The trade-off for this agility and compactness is clearly the smaller wheel size, which limits its capability on grass, uneven terrain, and transitioning from one type of terrain to another. Some users on Beyond The Bump Reddit have expressed that it might feel flimsy, especially outdoors.

Loopie Hop

Pros: We’ve designed the Loopie Hop to hit that rare sweet spot between comfort and convenience. It neither feels bulky nor flimsy, regardless of where you take it. Due to its build and bigger rear wheels, it can handle uneven surfaces with ease, gliding seamlessly through pavements, grass and gravel.

Cons: At 8.4 kg, Loopie Hop is heavier than the ultra-light Nuna Trvl or Silver Cross Clic, and that weight might be noticeable at times. However, that added heft is why the Loopie Hop stroller feels more solid and stable on the go.

Stroller Seat Comfort & Design

Nuna Trvl

Pros: Nuna Trvl focuses on providing the most luxurious experience to both parents and kids. As per a review on Parents.com, “The padding is very soft—like memory foam…” Both the handlebar and bumper bar are covered in faux leather, soft to the touch.

Cons: Parents have regularly complained about the detachable bumper bar being difficult to remove and install. Another user on Strollberry found the seat “VERY short” and added that, “at 10 months old he (the child) has already outgrown it.”

Chicco Bravo

Pros: The Bravo has a plush padded seat and a large storage basket, which users often praise. They also like the overall sturdiness of the stroller.

Cons: While the stroller boasts comfort, Baby Gear Lab notes that the leg rest lacks sufficient adjustment or depth, which makes it less ideal for toddlers.

Loopie Hop

Pros: Comfort was a major priority for us while designing the Loopie Hop stroller. The stroller seat is ergonomically padded, and the shoulder straps come with added cushioning as well for comfort and proper support during strolls.

Cons: Our early adopters had suggested that they would like even more padding in the stroller for longer rides with their infants, so we introduced our stroller seat insert. It gives parents the option to add extra coziness on top of the padded seat in the stroller.

Best Strollers Are The Ones That Fit In Your Life

When it comes to strollers, there’s no such thing as “one-size-fits-all.” Every family has its rhythm. Some parents spend their days weaving through city streets, others take long evening walks in the neighbourhood, and some are always on the move between flights, cabs, and cafes. The truth is, the best stroller isn’t just about features on paper, it’s about how seamlessly it fits into your everyday life.

At Loopie, we’ve kept this front and center while designing the Loopie Hop. Instead of simply adding features for the sake of it, we’ve asked: How do parents actually use a stroller every day? That’s why we’ve focused on real-world needs, comfort for longer rides, stability on Indian pavements and parks, a fold that works even when your hands are full, and a design that doesn’t make you compromise between style and practicality.

Because in the end, a stroller should do more than carry your baby. It should move with your life, your choices, and your adventures as a parent.
