babyGap Classic Side-by-Side Double Stroller

Overview

The GAP 11812-2357 is a standard stroller built with a steel frame and recycled polyester fabric, rated to carry a child up to 70 pounds. At 23 pounds it is heavier than an umbrella stroller, and it is not listed as car seat compatible.

This is GAP's entry into baby gear rather than the strollers of dedicated baby-brand makers, and the steel frame plus recycled polyester fabric point to a durability-first, sustainability-leaning build rather than the lightest option on the market. The 70 pound rating is high, so it should carry a child well past toddlerhood, but skipping car seat compatibility means it won't double as an infant travel system.

• Recycled polyester fabric

Who it's for

Parents who want a sturdy, full-size everyday stroller for an older baby or toddler, and who don't need it to click onto an infant car seat, are the fit. Anyone wanting a lightweight travel stroller or a newborn travel system should look elsewhere.

Pros and cons

Performance notes

The steel frame is why this stroller weighs in at 23 pounds versus lighter aluminum umbrella models, trading portability for a higher 70 pound weight rating that should outlast most children's stroller years. Recycled polyester fabric on the seat is a materials choice worth noting for buyers who care about that.
