Best Strollers with Reversible Seats
Face your baby. Face the world. Reversible-seat strollers let you do both—no tools, no fuss. Parent-facing for bonding, forward-facing for adventure, they make it easy to keep your baby close in the early months, then flip the seat when curiosity kicks in. Shop our favorite picks from UPPAbaby, Bugaboo, Silver Cross, Cybex, and more.
Why Parents Love Reversible-Seat Strollers
Reversible-seat strollers make everyday life more flexible. When your baby is little, facing you helps with bonding, comfort, and peace of mind—you can see each other with a glance. As your little one grows more curious, flipping the seat forward lets them take in the world. With a quick switch, you get the best of both worlds: connection when you need it, independence when they’re ready.
Which Strollers Have Reversible Seats?
Most higher-end strollers—like those from UPPAbaby, Cybex, and Bugaboo—feature a reversible seat so you can choose whether your baby faces you or faces the world. Lightweight and budget-friendly strollers tend to skip this feature to save space and weight.
You won’t find reversible seats on jogging strollers, since the seat is built into the frame, or on most side-by-side doubles. But tandem double strollers often allow one or both seats to flip—ideal if you want your newborn facing you while your toddler rides forward.

Best Lightweight Travel Strollers with Reversible Seats
Reversible vs. Modular: What’s the Difference?
A reversible stroller has a seat you can face toward you or outward. A modular stroller usually means the seat can detach completely—so it may also accept an infant car seat or bassinet. Modular designs also tend to indicate a stroller that can expand from a single to a double, making them a great option for growing families. Many modern reversible strollers (like the UPPAbaby Cruz or Cybex Gazelle) are both modular and reversible.
FAQs About Reversible-Seat Strollers
What’s the benefit of a reversible stroller?
A reversible stroller lets you choose how your baby rides—facing you for bonding and reassurance in the early months, or facing forward once they’re ready to explore. It’s one of the most versatile stroller features, allowing you to adapt as your child grows and your needs change.
Can all reversible strollers face both directions?
Most strollers labeled “reversible” allow the seat to face either direction, but how you make the switch can vary. Some seats lift off and click back in the opposite way, while others rotate right on the frame. Always check your model’s description or manual to confirm how the seat reverses.
Are reversible strollers heavier than standard strollers?
They can be. Because reversible strollers are built with extra hardware to support both seat directions, they’re often slightly heavier than fixed-seat models. Many brands balance this with lightweight materials and compact folds so you don’t have to sacrifice portability for flexibility.
What’s the difference between reversible and modular strollers?
A reversible stroller simply has a seat that faces you or forward. A modular stroller usually means the seat can detach completely—so it may also work with a bassinet or infant car seat. Modular strollers often convert from a single to a double, making them a great choice for growing families.
Do reversible strollers work with infant car seats?
Many do. Reversible strollers that are also modular can accept an infant car seat with the help of adapters, creating a full travel system. Compatibility varies by brand, so check which car seats pair with your stroller before purchasing.
