Strollers with Bassinets
A stroller with a bassinet gives your newborn a flat, supported place to rest from the very first walk home, and it's one of the few baby gear decisions that genuinely shapes the first six months of daily life. This collection brings together full-size, travel, and jogging strollers with bassinets included or available as an add-on, from UPPAbaby, Bugaboo, Cybex, Silver Cross, Joolz, Thule, Bumbleride, Joie, and Valco Baby. If you're planning daily walks with a newborn, building a travel system from scratch, or shopping ahead for a second baby, this is where to start.
What Matters Most in a Stroller With a Bassinet
- Included vs. add-on: Some strollers ship with the bassinet (Bugaboo Donkey5, Fox5, Kangaroo, Cybex EOS, Joie Ginger and Ginger LX, Silver Cross Wave 3). Others require the bassinet, and sometimes adapters, as a separate purchase. Factor the full kit into your budget.
- Lie-flat use window: Most stroller bassinets support newborns up to 4 to 6 months, or until baby pushes up on hands. After that, the toddler seat takes over.
- Overnight sleep approval: A few bassinets are certified for overnight sleep; most are designed for supervised naps on the go. Check the manufacturer guidelines before using one as a sleep space.
- Handlebar height for tall parents: Full-size frames like the UPPAbaby Vista V3, Bugaboo Fox5, and Silver Cross Reef 2 have telescoping handlebars that extend well past 42 inches, which matters on long walks.
- Travel system compatibility: If you also want an infant car seat click-in, confirm the stroller, bassinet, and car seat ecosystem line up before you commit to a frame.
- Single vs. convertible: Planning for a second child? A single-to-double frame like the Donkey5, Wave 3, or Vista V3 lets you add a second bassinet or seat later.
Which Stroller Bassinet Fits Your Lifestyle
- For the city walker: Compact full-size frames with smooth suspension and tight turning, think Bugaboo Dragonfly, Cybex Mios 3, Joolz Hub2.
- For active and jogging parents: The jogging stroller category from Thule and Bumbleride pairs air-filled tires with separately purchased bassinets for trail-ready newborn use.
- For growing families: The Bugaboo Donkey5 Duo arrives with two bassinets, and the UPPAbaby Vista V3 and Silver Cross Wave 3 expand to fit a second child.
- For travel-focused parents: The Joolz Aer2 with its add-on carrycot is the rare travel stroller that accepts a true bassinet, useful for families flying often with a newborn.
- For the design-led nursery: Bugaboo and Cybex bring fabric palettes and frame finishes that hold up visually for years.
Bassinets are one of the shortest-use pieces of baby gear you'll buy, so the smart move is matching the frame to your full first three years, not just the newborn stage. Our gear specialists at the New Jersey showroom can walk you through which bassinets are sold separately, which need adapters, and how each frame grows with your family.
