The best features are the ones parents use

A reliable harness, easy brake, stable frame, and locking fold are more useful than complicated extras that make daily use harder.

Parents should compare how the stroller behaves during real errands: sidewalks, curbs, car loading, store aisles, and storage.

Accessories can change stability

Organizer bags, cup holders, toys, blankets, and shopping bags can affect balance when they are placed incorrectly.

Use stroller storage as directed by the manufacturer and verify weight and age limits before buying.
