A. An umbrella stroller is a light-weight, folding baby stroller that usually features upside-down-J-shaped handles similar to the handle on an umbrella. Umbrella strollers can vary from pared-down versions to upscale, feature-packed models, and the prices on these styles varies accordingly. An umbrella stroller is a useful item for parents who travel often. These strollers fold easily and can be stashed in a vehicle trunk without taking up too much room. Umbrella strollers are also a nice option in crowded areas, as they are much easier to maneuver around obstacles and through tight corridors than their larger stroller counterparts.
