How We Test Travel Gear
Every stroller, car seat, and diaper bag on this site has survived the chaos of real family travel.
David’s family has hauled gear across state lines to visit grandparents. Brian’s household logged 200,000+ miles testing strollers on cobblestones in Europe and gravel in Montana. The kids (ages 3 to 21+) stress-test every zipper, buckle, wheel, and fold mechanism.
Our filter: Can you collapse it one-handed in a parking lot while holding a toddler? Can your father-in-law install the car seat without calling for help? If the answer is no, it doesn’t make the cut.
