Depending on your lifestyle you can absolutely get by with just one, or even none. I do not have that kind of lifestyle😂. I had two for my first, a standard Graco stroller and an umbrella stroller. I would have been fine with just one, but the umbrella stroller was $5 and pink, turns out it's one of my favorite strollers still(Maclaren Volo). I have *so many* strollers now. I live in a crazy city, have two small kids, and one of them has Down Syndrome and is a runner, so strollers get used a lot in our daily lives. I actually have even more than 'my' strollers, because I pick up strollers people have thrown out and fix them up to donate(fix them up is a generous description, almost all they ever need is a wash). Also my husband's truck doesn't fit in our garage, so we have a lot of space for it all. I'm just going to list the ones we actually use.. A double and a single Bob, the single is from '09 and about to go, and we won't be replacing it. My husband runs with them, I use them for anything seriously off-road(stroller friendly hikes, farms, etc) City Select Lux double for my everyday stroller. It lives in my van and is an absolute workhorse. The Maclaren from my first, and a newer, nicer Maclaren. I wish they still made strollers because the newer one is so handy for travel, it's light, but super sturdy and the basket holds a lot. Also it's a single but it has a 75# limit, so on a recent trip we had both kids sitting in it when we needed. GB pockit for small places, like Drs offices or small shops. 2 City Minis for when we're going somewhere as a family but will be splitting up, like a mall. Honestly we could do without these two and just use the ones above, but one's my husband's favorite color and one's my favorite color, so they stay and get used a lot😂.

Same here, I switched to a used Maclaren Volo stroller then just a scooter, he got so good at it he wore it out. We also had a bike and trailer but I wish I had invested in a trail a bike instead of a trailer, I would have gotten my money's worth. There is a dad in my area who has the little ones in the trailer and a trail a bike for the older one.

5, technically, but 2 live at the grandparents’ houses. Of the other 3, we use 2 regularly - a Bob jogging stroller and an Uppababy vista. The third was a freebie from Facebook - a maclaren umbrella stroller. While the umbrella stroller is definitely smaller and lighter, I find it more awkward to unfold than the Uppababy, so that’s what lives in the bigger vehicle and what I use on occasion at the grocery store if I only need a few things. The only one we (or the rest of our family) spent any money on was the Uppababy. The rest we were v fortunate to get locally free.

Bob all the way. I have twins and it’s absolutely one of the best and most useful products I’ve owned in my whole life. I lived downtown when they were babies and was a bit a bit obsessed with my strollers. I had strollers from Phil and Ted, Mountain Buggy, Baby Jogger, MacLaren, etc. Bob is the best

Yeah, it’s great from newborn till 3 I’d guess… it takes too much room… we also owned a McLaren umbrella stroller that was also great… but to begin with I’d go with the Uppa Baby that also has the bed… it was amazing for us
