Eight strollers that suit HDB lifts, MRT gantries and cabin bags, priced on 25 September 2026 at Motherswork and Mummys Market and re-checked on 11 October. The 2-4 October Baby Fair prices have ended, and the next Mummys Market fair is set for 15-17 January 2027.
A good stroller for Singapore has to fit an HDB lift, a Grab boot and ideally an overhead bin.
> Quick view: best all-rounder is the Bugaboo Butterfly 2 at S$879; best value is the Baby Jogger City Tour 2, S$429 at Metro now that the 2-4 October Baby Fair price has ended.
The Butterfly 2 is the stroller we would buy first for Singapore. It folds in one second into a cabin-bag-sized package (Bugaboo lists it as IATA-compatible at 17.6 x 9.6 x 21.8 inches), so it goes through HDB lifts, MRT gantries and into a Grab boot without a fight. It weighs about 7.3kg (16 lbs), takes up to about 22.7kg (50 lbs) on the seat and 8kg in the basket, has full suspension, and reclines from fully upright. Bugaboo rates it from birth to about 48 months, recommending a car seat (adapters sold separately) for newborns. Motherswork, which stocks Bugaboo in Singapore, sells the complete stroller at S$879 in five colours. There was no discount on 25 September 2026.

The City Tour 2 is a proper compact stroller at a fair price.

The Aer 2 weighs 6.5kg, folds with one hand in about a second to 44 x 53 x 23.5cm, and comes with a shoulder strap and travel pouch, which Joolz says makes it airplane compatible. Unlike most cabin strollers it is suitable from birth when the seat is fully reclined, and it carries a child up to 22kg. The 106.5cm handlebar suits taller parents, the sun hood is UPF 50+, and the one-pull harness tightens in a single motion. The fabrics are made from recycled PET bottles. Motherswork sells it at S$799 in most colours (the new Calming Beige is S$839, and Stone Grey was sold out on 11 October 2026), with a separate cot (S$439) if you want a carrycot for the newborn months. No discount.

The Doona X is an infant car seat with wheels that fold out from underneath, so you can lift your baby from the pavement into a Grab or taxi without unbuckling. The X version adds three recline positions (sit, relax and lay back), a zip-on canopy, shock-absorbing wheels, a 101cm faux-leather handle and a side-impact add-on. Motherswork has cut it to S$899 from S$1,299 in Nitro Black, Ocean Blue and Dusty Sage; Forest Green and Terracotta (was S$1,249) were sold out on 11 October 2026. The catch: it is an infant seat, so it is outgrown within about the first year, and there is no basket. Motherswork prints no end date for the price.
S$899 at Motherswork (was S$1,299) in Nitro Black, Ocean Blue and Dusty Sage. Re-checked 11 Oct 2026; no end date published.
Hamilton's X1 Plus uses a one-hand MagicFold and takes a child from birth up to 22kg. Its S$329 Baby Fair price (with stroller bag and cup holder) ended with the Mummys Market fair on 4 October 2026, and the usual price there is S$699 in Black or Khaki. At that price it sits close to the premium picks here, so it is best bought at a fair or sale price; the next Mummys Market fair runs 15-17 January 2027 at Singapore Expo.

The Pact Lite is the lowest-priced stroller in this guide that is suitable from birth. The seat reclines flat, it folds with one hand into a flat package with a carry strap, and it still has a full-size shopping basket, all-wheel suspension, a UPF 50+ extendable canopy, a two-position calf support and a ShoeSaver brake. Its S$189 Baby Fair price ended with the Mummys Market fair on 4 October 2026; the usual price there is S$279 in Quartz, which still makes it the cheapest from-birth stroller here. It is a sensible second stroller to keep in the car or at the grandparents' flat.

The Goody folds automatically with one hand and then stands up by itself, which helps in a small HDB lift or when you are holding the baby. Folded it measures 56 x 46.5 x 25cm. It is suitable from birth up to 22kg, with a fully reclining backrest, adjustable leg rest, wide padded seat, a zip-extendable canopy, an eco-leather handle and a removable bumper bar. Mummys Market sells the Cool Grey Goody online at S$299, against a usual S$425. The upgraded Goody Primo (S$489, was S$699, at Motherswork) was sold out on 11 October 2026. Mummys Market prints no end date for the S$299 price.
Goody (Cool Grey) S$299 online at Mummys Market (usual S$425). Re-checked 11 Oct 2026; no end date published.
If a second child is likely within a few years, the Vista V3 is built for it. It starts as a single stroller with a reversible toddler seat (parent- or forward-facing, up to about 22.7kg) and, with add-on adapters and a second seat or bassinet, carries two or even three children. It folds in one step and stands when folded, rides on never-flat tyres with dual-spring suspension, and has an extra-large basket rated to about 13.6kg. Motherswork sells it at S$1,699. It is heavy and bulky next to everything else here, so measure your car boot and lift before buying. No discount on 25 September 2026.

Premium-brand prices (Bugaboo, Joolz, Doona, UPPAbaby, Chicco Goody Primo) were read off motherswork.com.sg, which sells these brands in Singapore, on 25 September 2026. The Baby Jogger City Tour 2, Hamilton X1 Plus and Joie Pact Lite were first priced at the Mummys Market Baby Fair (2-4 October 2026); on 5 October and again on 11 October, after the fair, we re-read their usual prices on mummysmarket.com.sg and the City Tour 2's current price on metro.com.sg. Every Motherswork price was re-read on 11 October. Weights and sizes are the brands' own figures as quoted on those pages.
While you are shopping for the newborn months, our own brand AEBaby makes 100% cotton muslin bibs and hooded bath towels with free name embroidery.
For most Singapore families a compact stroller beats a full-size pram: it fits HDB lifts, folds on the MRT and goes into a Grab boot or an overhead bin. Our pick is the Bugaboo Butterfly 2 (S$879 at Motherswork), which folds in one second to a cabin-bag size and works from birth with a car seat attached, up to about 4 years. If you want a lie-flat seat from day one without a car seat, the Joolz Aer 2 (S$799, 6.5kg) is the lighter choice. If you expect a second child soon, a convertible full-size stroller such as the UPPAbaby Vista V3 (S$1,699) saves buying twice.
The last Mummys Market Baby Fair ran 2-4 October 2026 at Singapore Expo Hall 5, and the next one is dated 15-17 January 2027 at Singapore Expo (Friday-Saturday 11am-9pm, Sunday 11am-8pm). Strollers are clearly cheaper there: at that fair the Baby Jogger City Tour 2 was S$239 with a free carry bag (usual S$619), the Hamilton X1 Plus S$329 (usual S$699) and the Joie Pact Lite S$189 (usual S$279). The premium brands (Bugaboo, Joolz, UPPAbaby) had no fair listing. If you cannot wait, Metro had the City Tour 2 at S$429 on 11 October.
Some compact strollers are designed to fit airline cabin-bag limits: Bugaboo lists the Butterfly 2's fold as IATA-compatible (17.6 x 9.6 x 21.8 inches), and Joolz says the Aer 2 folds to 44 x 53 x 23.5cm and is airplane compatible. Whether you can carry one on still depends on your airline's own size rule and the crew on the day, so check your airline's baggage page before you fly. Most airlines let you check a stroller in at the gate if it does not fit.
It is worth it if you take a lot of Grab and taxi rides with a newborn, because you move the baby from pavement to car without unbuckling. The Doona X is S$899 at Motherswork, down from S$1,299 (three colours in stock on 11 October 2026). The trade-off is that it is an infant car seat, so your child outgrows it within the first year or so and you will then need a regular stroller and a bigger car seat. It also has no shopping basket.
