Strollers have come a long way from the models our parents pushed, but let's face it, they never have everything we want. Things like organizers, cup holders, and cell phone stations are usually aftermarket products that some intrepid parent has designed after pushing the thing around for a while, thinking, “Gosh, I wish this stroller had a...”
That also means that stroller accessories tend to be hyper-responsive to parents' needs and desires. They're the ultimate in creative compensation, devising solutions for issues you might not even understand that you have until you've been shoving your kid around at the park all day.
Because of that particular conundrum, it can be hard to figure out what you need. Worry not, friends — I have you covered. I've spoken to parents, pushed my own kids, and read countless reviews, and found the very best stroller accessories out there that will make walking with your little one a seamless experience.
Hear me out: Don't just get one for your kid — get one that points at yourself as well. You won't regret it. This fan is small but mighty, and in the middle of the hot summer? It's a real lifesaver and a must-have stroller accessory. It provides enough of a breeze without being overwhelming to your baby.
The bendable, flexible arms wrap around any bar with ease, making this fan universally convenient.
I am convinced that the vampire myth began when someone was bitten by a mosquito and had nightmares about being drained. They're the actual worst. Protect your baby from these evil insects with this durable mesh mosquito net that stretches to fit your stroller.
Keeping your child happy during long trips on the stroller can be a challenge. Make your life a little bit easier with this stroller arch of toys. Mirrors, rattles, and birds will float above your baby thanks to the universal attachment kit built-in with this set.
Finally, a universal cup and cell phone holder that is actually universal. Thanks to the screw-style attachment arm, this stroller cup holder really sticks — and not just to strollers. It can fit on your bike, too.
What I love is that both the phone and the cup holder have holes at the bottom for draining and plugging your phone into an external battery.
This bag is more than just a fantastic organizer that loops over your stroller handles. It's also a chic statement accessory that's more gorgeous than it has a right to be. This bag has enough space to hold your phone, wallet, a few diapers and wipes, an external charger, and even some snacks. Plus, it cleans up like a champ.
Contrary to popular belief, you don't have to spend $200 on a bunting bag to get exceptional quality. This $50 bunting is super warm, weather-resistant, easy to clean, easy to install, and your baby will absolutely love tucking down into its cozy confines.
If I had a dollar for every pacifier and sippy cup my kids have hurled from their stroller, I’d have a nice little pot of cash. These four stretchy silicone holders attach to both the binky and the stroller, so when your kids fling them, they don’t fall on the ground. (And don’t worry, they don’t boomerang back and thwack your kids in the face with their own pacifier.)
I know, sometimes you just want a place to hang up your purse, backpack, or maybe even your jacket. Welcome, stroller hooks. This set fits on most strollers and comes with two styles of hook — open and carabiner. They're convenient, functional, and best yet? Inexpensive.
It can be a tough choice on rainy days whether or not to bring your baby out and about. With this universal rain cover with eye protection, you don't need to worry about your little one getting wet. The straps fit the handles and bars at the bottom, and there are serious ventilation areas and a huge front window to provide easy access to your baby.
