Choose the Bugaboo Fox 5 Renew if…

The Bugaboo Fox 5 Renew is worth it if you want a smooth, go-anywhere stroller and can accept the price. Bugaboo lists it at $1,499 and 26.45 lb with the seat. It includes a bassinet and has big wheels, but the basket is modest and it cannot add a second seat.

Parents who want one stroller from newborn through toddler, bassinet included
Walkers who cover pavement, park paths and the odd gravel road
Anyone who values an adjustable handlebar and a premium look

Skip it if: You plan a second child in a second seat; you need a big basket or a place for a full diaper bag; you want a real jogging or off-road stroller.
